If Iran does not cooperate glass it over and turn it into a parking lot.

I agree , Nick, why should we waste all those dinky bombs when a couple of nukes will do?
Let's let the nips chime in on that proposal.

Is this the end of British influence in the middle east?
The price of almost everything is set by the City of London.
And the City of London is dependent upon this area of the world for all it's financing.

But it breaks the ceasefire...so Iran closes the Strait and Trump is back to square one.

There’s speculation that Russia and NK have delivered nukes to Tehran and that in the event of Iran getting attacked by such weapons, the codes will be given to Iran .

And according to translations of a statement from Putin, whoever nukes Iran will be nuked …..
There are agreements in place .

Now who might be mad enough to start this level of exchange?

And of equal concern , calcs were done that looked at how much atmosphere gets puffed out into space when the big ones go off and it was quite a small number that would degrade the remaining atmosphere for the whole planet …..
Maybe our best hope is a limited exchange and the world says No More Ever

 

[Fatrat]

Well, maybe it will be over quickly...

Iran in Shambles, Rubio Targets Regime Families, and the Return of the Impeachment Hoax | VDH​

CNN and former Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes are of the opinion that President Donald Trump, who has chosen the sword over the pen, will get a far worse deal out of the mullahs in Iran than his predecessor, Barack Obama.

What did Iran get out of its deal with Obama, you might ask?

For 10 years, Iran was sanctions-free, making $500 million a day in petrochemical sales. Thanks to figures like Ben Rhodes, it was like a “bonanza for the Houthis, Hamas, the people in Syria and Iraq that are their proxies, and, of course, Hezbollah,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

What did Iran get out of Trump in his first term?

Crippling sanctions and a dead Revolutionary Guard leader.

What did Iran get out of Trump in his second term?

A dead ayatollah, decimated offensive capabilities, and a half-destroyed government begging America to come to the negotiating table.

She explains what's going on...

ECONOMIC FURY: Why Trump's Warning Went ONLY to Britain​

Susan Kokinda argues that recent U.S. actions framed as confronting Iran are actually aimed at dismantling the British imperial financial and geopolitical system. She cites Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s April 16 meeting with UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves, highlighting the on-record “Economic Fury” campaign and U.S. tracking of financial flows to Iran that allegedly lead to London. The episode shows Trump is ending a decades-old “world extortion” model tied to the Strait of Hormuz, Lloyd’s war-risk insurance, and London’s commodity pricing power (gold, metals, oil benchmarks). It also points to an Israeli–Lebanon ceasefire and Trump prohibiting Israeli strikes, arguing this removes Netanyahu’s leverage built on a perpetual Iran threat. With London’s pricing nodes shifting toward New York and the “special relationship” weakening, the Hudson Institute is said to be pinning hopes on a King Charles visit to the U.S.
