And it looks like we are bombing them again. Granted, it's some mine laying boats...so, as is tradition, they were doing exactly what they now accuse of doing: "Iran criticised the “bad faith and unreliability” of Washington"

Oh weird, the IRGC, effectively a terrorist organization, can’t be dealt with via diplomacy or ignoring them. Shocking.

How's bombing them into submission going? Asking for our nation.

Destroy their ability to refine fuel. Modern military forces going back to WW2 can't function without fuel.

Make it hard to move resources like missiles around the country or fuel small boats etc Of course, the US citizens of today couldn't endure the hardships of the WW2 generation and our adversaries know that. In 1945 we were in it to win it elections or not.

If continued military action is desired, the logical thing is to continue the blockade while striking as required to self defend. And sink or seize the entire shadow fleet that was involved in running Iranian oil. Otherwise, min engagement.

Take the IRGC's money. Let them break themselves trying to stretch this out. Turn this into Northern/Southern watch.

Like @busdriver is saying, take all their money. Every fuckin dime or whatever they use as dimes. And any rich asshole from Iran. Seize their money, take their shit.

Should we be willing to endure WW2 levels of hardship over Iran? I get it.. the new generation are of course all worthless pussies if they won’t go along with every single war but why does it follow that any of us should sacrifice to the level of WW2?

Edit: larger question for the group..

I was reliably informed weeks ago by everyone from POTUS, to SECWAR, to commenters in this thread that we already devastated Iran’s military, achieved our military objectives, and had them on the ropes desperate to agree to our terms. The long term boondoggle I warned about was not only averted but I was stupid for even worrying about it. So why the change? Why do we need to deny their military fuel if it’s already decimated. Why do we need to “take all their money” if we’ve already got them completely cornered as far as negotiations

Get your Urine Yellow Trump phone and you'll get all the president's social twits on the topic. You'll be so rage informed, you're gonna get tired of being informed.

Y'all's delusion is real. We've acknowledged ad nauseam that Trump’s mouth and ego continues to get in his own way. Theres a new clownshow daily, but even so, its still better than kamala and the left could do.

Nobody on here is claiming total victory. We do have them by the short hairs but their lack of concern for their people allows them to stall. It’s an ugly situation, but continuing to accept the monumental boning the worlds endured over the past 50 years wasn't winning either. Something needed to be done.

in my opinion, the strategy chosen to prosecute offensive action was not optimal, and I’d guess everyone here has their own opinion on how the IRGC should have been handled. Most of us on here don't have all of the American/Israeli intelligence available to consider.

I’d have preferred a complete blockade (in and out) of Iran (oil, food, manufactured goods, everything) in conjunction with physically targeting all of their leadership. But again Im glad I’m not the one having to make these type of world impacting decisions.

We need some Chicago Way. Time to put a bunch more in the morgue, payback for Salem. Get to it, SoW Pete.
