Sounds like Pakistan is no longer a neutral party to mediate talks…spreadsheet updated.

---

Sounds like we have 6 new bomb targets. On the Iranian side of the border of course.

He needs to stop messing around and finish them off bombing them. We are reloaded, Israel is reloaded and we know where the top leaders are and have better regathered intel

Now is the time to strike.

I guess he wants to see what another week brings with the blockade. It will bring nothing but empty promises from Iran. They are actively going to other countries for help (resupply, financial and ways to get around blockade). They will not fold with the blockade only. They think they can adapt

Maybe we are not fully reloaded OR are waiting on more personnel to get there? IDK how bombing them brings more risk, they have no defenses unless they brought stuff out of caves, which will take only a couple days to destroy before we can start bringing in the heavy B 52 bombers again

Bombing is expensive. Much more expensive than a blockade. IF they can successfully blockade Iran, it will not be a short term crippling of Iran, but a much longer crippling that will keep Iran at bay for a while.

Also, I think they are hoping the people of Iran get fed up and overthrow the IRGC.

---

Since when does cost mean anything? We have the money. We have reloaded. and It will not keep them at bay, they will quickly get help from Pakistan, China, Russia and NK to rebuild or survive. Their leaders are meeting with these countries and they are actively already helping them.

Their population has shown no sign of fighting back, they have no weapons and it is just another blood bath in the making. Reza Pahlavi was on last night saying we need to finish the job bombing them and figure out ways to get arms to the people and provide support for a true overthrow

We can sustain the blockade at low cost, while keeping the pressure on Iran economically. They will pit on a display of bravado of course but 90 million people without basics and no income will get really restless really fast and that includes the army and the irgc faction personnel.

Iran will be in a position of having to violate the ceasefire, or attack third parties to attempt to counter the blockade, which will put even more pressure back on themselves. They have no way out but to concede to our terms or suffer the steadily increasing pressure for an actual internal uprising.

---

Pursuing the blockade instead of kinetic action may also be Trumps strategy to try and get around potential War Powers Act requirements and having to mess with Congress. Since his 60 days is up this week, in theory.

It's also a way of forcing other countries to get involved

Would violate the ceasefire. I think Israel hit some of the train infrastructure though before everything cooled down.

Would be a shame if there happened to be some sort of partisan inside Iran that happened to be able to sabotage some real bridges.

---

At that point what does it really matter ? Stop the cease fire and bomb some oil equipment to let them know we aren't messing around

---

We could so easily finish them off with another 2 or 3 weeks of bombing. Jack Keane said it best, these guys do not care enough about the blockade to fold meaningfully, they only care about surviving at this point, outlasting us. They are going to string Trump along with BS talks. They will find ways to get money and last longer, like months. We do not have time for that

---

Can we? I wonder about the efficacy of regime change through bombing and blockading alone. I hope I'm wrong, but I wonder.

Is there any credence to the thought that the blockade is also favorable because it not only squeezes Iran but China as well?

Whereas bombing seems to allow China to lay low out of the way and mostly unscathed.

You can both bomb and still blockade.

Is that accurate though?

I thought the whole reason we weren't operating in the strait during bombing and only during the ceasefire was that it left our naval assets too vulnerable.

We can bomb them and keep the blockade, I think it might even make it easier depending on what we bomb.

Bombing the ports, all their rails leaving the country and bridges should only make it easier and harder for them to get around the blockade

It might delay us on opening the strait but at the same time it will help. We can destroy more of their boat storage areas, piers and bomb the small islands they use

I think Trump keeps the blockade and see where we are at in another week. Eventually I think he goes back to bombing campaign. He will get tired of them screwing around with negotiations and set a timeline

Yeah let us know when former Iranian citizens now living in other countries around the world are willing to go home and fight for their country and relatives still there. Maybe Pakistan would ship them into Iran.

Interesting how All Mideast countries And Iranians want American Soldiers to go fight for them but they are not willing to fight for themselves. You would think they would have raised their own army by now after being attacked and damaged by the Iranian missiles and drones… But guess who they want to do that job.

---

Who said anything about Iranians that have left? I am talking about the Iranians in the country. We need to figure out a way to get them weapons, they will not rise up empty handed. They also have no way of communicating with each other to form a legit coalition, that is something we will have to figure out

Other Arab countries have wanted to start an air campaign "I believe" but we have told them to stay away for now. They have not offered troops to my knowledge

I'm not so sure. President makes so much of himself as a master deal maker, he might dither around thinking he is going to get a great deal, when the actual truth is, is you cannot trust or make a deal with any of the people currently in power in Iran. They will lie, tell you want you want to hear, and then screw us over the first chance they can.

lol. They could get weapons from any neighboring country. They are lovers, not fighters.

Same as all the mideastern countries. They hire others to fight for them.

Iran will not make a nuclear deal that is acceptable, and will not abide by any deal they make. We are going to have to go in and take the nuclear fuel and any centrifuges, or assure their complete destruction. This will take troops. it will have to be preceded by bombing the remaining targets as well as electric grid substations or fuel supply, and all bridges. Then set a secure perimeter to the extent possible, and kill as many irgc as get in the way and more.

Ah, the 'ol CENTCOM has prepared a battle plan trick ... according to "three sources with knowledge."

Another take it for what it is worth tweet. What exactly are the Russians capable of doing? Nada I would think.

Strongly disagree. I understand that the majority of this thread is for bombing them into submission, the blockade and economic warfare we have been waging during the ceasefire has proven far more painful, and is getting worse as time goes on.

Yes they are trying to find ways around it, and are sometimes successful, but they are in no way getting rid of oil to the level they need to. It's delaying the inevitable, but shut-ins are still incoming if they don't make a deal.

They are practically begging us to stop the blockade where as they seemed to be indifferent towards our bombing and killing of their leaders.

Why not bomb and blockade?

Do we want to try out new toys during this "scrimmage" or is there a new threat that calls for these. Show of force to China or Russia? Our stuff works while yours does not?

Good point. Why show the rest of the world what we have hidden in our toy box. We've pretty much been able to **** up whatever we want , whenever we want, wherever we want. Of course we have hypersonic missiles in our kit. Ours are more stealthy, faster, more destructive, by an order of magnitude, than what the rest of the world can offer.
