Because that puts to bed the threat forever, and guts the possibility of any restarting of hostilities, thus neutering the European/London interests who created this intolerable situation in the first place.

Neutering European/British aggression is a strategic Chinese and Russian goal.
 
Yeah, were dealing with a death cult here and the ones running it know they are dead meat one way or another. Iran is on the verge of economic collapse and that makes its people desperate and unafraid of bullets. They have also made a world full of enemies because the world depends on that straight. Even us, tho indirectly.

The IRGC are a bunch of Loons and its the Loons calling the shots now. Their function was supposed to be the protection of the Revolutionary Council but now it looks like they are the only ones poking their heads out of their holes and are running the Govt. and the war. Iran is in a death spiral now and I hope for their sakes they dont think Trump is bluffing because were done with eating their shit.
 
We committed an at of piracy, yawn, we are already aided and abetted a genocide...or two. We would much rather eat Israeli shit.
 
Whats the goalpost for the win now?
It was to get rid of the threat of them building a nuke. After we bombed them last year that threat was gone.
Now it's that and surrender and open the strait.

Thats accomplished now as well so what's the new goal post?

Looking up all of Irans conflicts for the last 2600 years or so. I'mnot really up on Iranin history but it looks pretty interesting. Seldom are they the aggressors and seldom are they defeated.
 
There are infighting factions in Iranian government. There's no consensus on what should happen.

I think that is the issue at the moment.

Before now I have never heard of the guy but I am immediately supposed to hate him and need him killed?

He is a diabolical tyrant who, for the good of planet earth, needs to be eliminated ASAP!

Says who? Can we at least name something he has done? LOL. Sounds like propaganda to me and if the US and Israel didn't want this war so badly we probably would never hear this guys name. Did he kill innocent people? Not that it matters much. The US has plenty who have been in government and killed innocents. Ruby Ridge and WACO bring back any memories?

What it would take for the U.S. to secure Iran's highly enriched uranium | 60 Minutes​

Apr 19, 2026
The fate of the Iran war centers on highly enriched uranium, an essential ingredient for nuclear weapons. A post-Soviet-era operation that could inform a U.S. recovery mission in Iran.

Here's a little more context:

IDF says image of soldier destroying Jesus statue in Lebanon is real, vows action​

The Israel Defense Forces confirms the authenticity of a photo showing a soldier in southern Lebanon smashing a statue of Jesus with a sledgehammer, and says it will take action against those involved.

Following an initial review of the photo, the military says that “it was determined that the photograph depicts an IDF soldier operating in southern Lebanon.”

“The IDF views the incident with great severity and emphasizes that the soldier’s conduct is wholly inconsistent with the values expected of its troops,” the military says.

Trump is not God, even though he may think so....can you steal from your next door neighbor because his lawnmower is better than yours....
 
From what I've heard Iran has said no more talks. So what comes next?
 
More than that, they said "Let's get it on...", so we get the troops ready to die for Israel

Iran threatens the USA's existence.

I'm sure every Iranian mullah would strap on a suicide vest to rid the world of the great satan.

Looks as if you bought the mainstream media propaganda that Trump thinks he's God.

I don't pretend to believe I know what Trump is 'thinking', but the MSM does.

Taken with a large grain of salt, either it didn't happen or more likely, they had permission and were not shot at but other ships in the area were...why expose valuable ship damage.
 

NOW: President Trump CONFIRMS that Israel did NOT manipulate him into a war with Iran

"Israel never talked me into the war with Iran, the results of Oct. 7th, added to my lifelong opinion that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, did."

"I watch and read the FAKE NEWS Pundits and Polls in total disbelief. 90% of what they say are lies and made up stories, and the polls are rigged, much as the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged."

"Just like the results in Venezuela, which the media doesn’t like talking about, the results in Iran will be amazing - And if Iran’s new leaders (Regime Change!) are smart, Iran can have a great and prosperous future!"

He is a meglomaniac, but he doesn't believe in God so he doesn't really think he is . Me, I think he is a wackos and controlled by israel.
 
I bet Trump allowed those cruise ships out. Not sure if Iran would have though.

You sound just like the media! I don't know what Trump "believes", but the media does.

Why is he a megalomaniac? Because that's exactly what the MSM said he was!

That's what the MSM has always said about him from the gitgo. It doesn't make it factual. It's propaganda.

Instead of drinking their koolaide one should be asking "Why is the msm spreading propaganda?"

The MSM is like a laser pointer to cats for some folks.
 
Stupid bastard really believes his own press releases...

Iran allowed them out, or they would not have made it. Trump isn't/wasn't blockcading them, so he is irrelevant.
 
Exactly this!
