Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

"Expensive" is the operative word here. Deployments of so many ships, fuel, wear and tear, soldiers terms of deployments, accidents. A naval presence is not the same as as being on land. So maybe there was truth in the 'laundry room' fire and not hard to understand that given how unpopular this war is in America.
Even America can't sustain a naval blockade for long vs Iran's own blockade due to geographical reasons.

Especially knowing that the US has zero industrial capacity. Can't replace it's ships, not even close. Can't even fully repair its ships (takes years). Not that they can't sustain this on the medium term, but its a pathetic empire that's using it's last breaths trying to subdue medium sized enemies while it still theoretically can.

Trump has gone on record today saying he won’t let Iran charge.

So for Iran what is the point of being basically the Mall Security Cop of the SoH?

It seems Trump has been pretty consistent — no charging of tolls, strait must be opened, no nuclear “dust”.

It is Iran that has been inconsistent with its messaging due to these loser reformists and politicians like Qalibaf. First they were charging $1M tolls. Then it became optional. Then it became joint with Oman. Then it was two lanes. Now it’s going to be one lane.

This guy here acting as if Iran is more powerful than China, the US and Russia put together. Lol, it's a middle power at best and it's not taken seriously by the US. So maybe adjust your goals.

I am nearly certain if Trump has a heart attack today, then POTUS Vance will wrap up this war and no more while he would be the President.

These people operate inside an ecosystem and must fall in line to survive. There are countless levers acting to keep them in line. There has been little if any fundamental change in foreign policy regardless of who has been in power over the decades.

Since I am American I felt it was my duty to repost this on the American perspective side actually pretty funny……I have noticed a huge drop there since GCC states haven’t participated in any attacks on Iran as of late weird Iran not attacking Arab or Muslim states not participating in attacks on Iran right and all of a sudden people stop participating(trolling) in these threads for the most part

Ukraine created this Frankenstein cruise missile in 2 years of warfare.

Meanwhile, 30 years later, iran is still firing C-802 derivative cruise missiles from China. And still have S-136 as their main munition flying at skyscraper level.

This country stopped innovating back in 2010.

Ukraine has access to every western military tech ever created. Your 2 celled brain lost 10 cells when you wrote that post

Indeed, maybe except nukes. Literally everything comes from the West. You name it: bullets, shells, tanks, apc's, Starlink, ISR, cruise missiles, air defence. Everything.

The U.S is willing to bend significantly on sanctions, and even offer incentives

The nuclear issue and Hormuz issue both sides won't budge on

It can't return the status quo prior bello.
US started the war and the only way to avoid further coalitions from GCC countries with US It is the SOH.

But you just sintetized very well the problem.

Also I am pretty sure that if war continues even point one It is at risk. Irán has been during a year without any IAEA inspection. Day after day nuclear program will be more difficult to interrupt.

As I said, we should've never acknowledged that Oman had any say in this.
Everything started to turn against us when we acknowledged that Oman also had a say in the Strait of Hormuz.

Who believes this? Where was this public apology? Zelensky said Islamic Republic of Iran doesn’t have a right to exist.
