I’m not saying regime change but I’m just saying empowered disaffected minority groups who are sick of of oppressive corrupt theocrats like pallets of AK-47s, claymores, IED kits, drones and RPGs dropped from the sky https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2025/6/20/a-simple-visual-guide-to-iran-and-its-people When you have your enemy on the ropes, don’t stop Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In 1988 Iran tried to close the Straight with mines. One USN vessel was damaged. The next day President Reagan ordered an attack on Iran the sank exactly half of Irans Navy. When we have a President with cajones we don’t have put up with shit from tin pot dictators. I have to admit that all the expert tariff economist online are now saying that they have irrefutable bomb damage assessment from multiple 30,000 pound weapons that designated 100s of feet underground. Come on pull the other one.

A version of Nuclear Sharing is a possibility. We do it, Russia/Belarus do it, the old Soviet Union did it and take a look at the Pakistan/Saudi Arabia arrangements. Nuclear sharing - Wikipedia

Israel might. But not in a good way...

Lol. No. Maybe North Korea thinks about it. Maybe. Nobody else with nukes is giving them to Iran

Exactly. I expect a big part of the strategy has been "allowing" the political class in Iran to survive specifically so they can choose their own lives over retaliation. But they can't not make threats. That's not how international politics work. They are going to saber rattle, the real question is will they follow through. We'll know soon.

Who picked the Op name?!?

Springer, looks like a great place to live. 😳

Yeah and 45% of Chinese oil goes thru there as well

If they block Sunni oil nations….i see a coalition forming against the regime. 25% of the global supply flows through the straight

Curious how Iranian response will be impacted by the Israeli HVI campaign against them. It can't be easy adjust strategy, C2 forces & simultaneously worry about assassination.

Sadly it looks like it is going to spiral...Iranian Parliament approved the closure of the Straight of Hormuz. Additionally, the Iranian Nuke sites were not completely destroyed and they possibly moved the nuclear material. Finally, there are indicators the Iranians are planning an attack on U.S. bases in the region.

What happened to those on here who said “anything that weakens are enemy is a good thing”?…or does this only apply to Russia?

This!

The real Iran? Biff, don't get excited, it's not about the woman in the picture.

He sucks at guitar. Probably the worst version of "Hey Joe" ever recorded. Tune your fucking guitar.

Well, Iran has been organizing, training, and equipping proxy forces to attack US personnel for decades. They also launched IRBMs at US forces a couple years back. They had also been blaming us for Israeli strikes and threatening more action. Not sure how much this will really increase the threat level... probably some, but not exactly 0 to 100. Deciding when to use military force is also the job of the President (codified since the War Powers Act).

Yeah, somebody with a big brain tell me the dollar value of having your pacing threat opponent staring at all that tech and equipment it’s spent all this time amassing and wondering if it works. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also a FAFO demonstration for other opponents far from our mainland, occasionally AirPower demonstrations real or simulated serve secondary purposes

You can add this to your list: Trump/Operation Midnight Hammer Price Tag: GBU-57 MOP Cost - $3.5 million each/14 total dropped = $49 million. BGM-109 Tomahawk (Block 5) Cruise Missile with Conventional Warhead cost $2 million each/24 total launched = $48 Million. Total Cost = $97 million. - Most of the other costs like fuel/manhours, etc, etc, etc can be characterized as funding for new real world training program/training range (Iran).

Iran parliament voted to close the Strait of Hormuz. https://www.reuters.com/world/china/us-urges-china-dissuade-iran-closing-strait-hormuz-2025-06-22/
