Still don't understand what we are going to do with it. This one I don't get. We can steal the oil, but if we capture it, we have to defend it. If we steal the oil, we have to get it out. Not sure I understand this play-unless the long game is just to play keep it, which is... interesting.

We’ll see if the purpose is to actually invade, or if the purpose is to make Iran think we are going to invade.

Could be a step to force Iran to the table?

Did Iran really give Trump a 'gift' to ease the tensions? Here's what Donald Trump claimed

President Donald Trump announced Iran provided a significant energy-related gift. This development is linked to the Strait of Hormuz. Trump stated this signifies progress in ongoing negotiations to end hostilities. He indicated that the United States is talking to key Iranian figures. Pakistan...

Why do we need to invade anything? Iran gave Trump a gift. A very big gift.

Would be pretty stupid. I think a SOF mission to grab enriched Uranium and run would be strategically sensible, taking Kharg would not be

I'm tempted to believe that the whole Kharg island thing is another misdirection for something else.

He's done it before. A special forces operation to dismantle Fordow still seems logical. Kharg is not logical to me. Airborne to steal the uranium makes sense. Airborne to secure oil needs some explaining.

"Trump has a hand open for a deal and the other is a fist, waiting to punch you in the fucking face,"
The surrendered airbase and afghans falling from the sky party loves to say he has no plan or strategy but that certainly appears to be bullshit.

It says "may be looking". Any info on where they would deploy them if they do send them?

Anyone who thinks the U.S. is the only country with smart people is kidding themselves.

This comment is interesting.

“The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran," Trump said, repeating his claim that the war has succeeded in regime change despite the continued rule of the clerical regime that was in power prior to the conflict.

If the clerics are in still charge what's the use of negotiating with someone not in power, unless something is planned?

Ukraine or the Gulf alliance? Yeah, not bad by Ukraine- but also the Gulf states are not dumb here either. The future will have two islamic alliances to choose from- NATO or the Gulf. The Gulf will be the superior alliance.


Also-
Remember when I said the dems could never run a Jew nationwide and that Hamas was a caucus of the Democratic Party- Dems sad.

The Clerics can very possibly still be in power without actually being in charge anymore

I would hope that we are in serious discussions with the Artesh. Not only are they not loyal to the IRGC but are rivals.

The idea that Israel purposefully took him out seems reasonable. Much like it's reasonable to assume there was fraud in the 2020 election or that dems allowed illegals to flood the U.S. under their leadership to shift the political landscape.
