US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

He hasn’t already did you not watch those snippets at the convention

No. I wasn't about to allow myself to watch that. I'd almost consider watching the WNBA before watching the convention.

Inaction would have lead to a 2030 nuclear armed Iran whose nuclear program would be shielded by 10,000+ ballistic missiles.

The Islamic regime has murdered thousands of American soldiers, 40,000+ Iranian civilians in January, and chanted death to America for nearly 50 years. We live in the real world, and Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon is unacceptable. Iran spreading its terror globally through its proxies is unacceptable. Weakening the regime to the point of collapse should be a strategic priority of US foreign policy.

At this point its about 10 mn Iranis slaughtered by IRGC .

To date, there are been no concrete proof offered that Iran would have had a nuclear weapon by 2030. FFS, even North Korea has one. If they can manage to split an atom, how is it that some of the best scientific and engineering minds in Iran have been unable to do so? Remember, prior to the 1979 Revolution, I went to engineering school with Iranians. They were very smart.

Or, perhaps Iran did manage to build a nuclear weapon or have the plans for a working bomb and kept it suppressed until the IRGC got wind of it?

We can sit here and elaborate all day long yet the fact still remains that concrete proof has not been offered. Just speculation based on random Twitter posts.

I caught what @Davey Crockett was posting had to double check if it was real or AI of course I knew it was real but man this guy seriously by now you have to admit he’s at least as bas Biden

North Korea sitting in some corner with bomb is different than Iran sitting at strategic choke with nuclear teeth and theocratic ambitions.

Donald Trump is actually worse than Biden.....

Have to be honest. Not a whole lot of people seem to be rushing to support us to ensure that happens.

There is an old saying for scenarios like this, "You break it, you own it.." and in this case, the USA and Israel broke it. Not even the UK is getting involved, and we know how much of a lapdog the UK has been historically for the foreign policy jaunts of the USA in the past.

Absolutely hilarious. Can't save them from Israeli strikes, can't save them from Iranian strikes, can't even protect their main economic life line, the one thing they had.

Man hosting the largest US base in the region is paying them dividends right now, despite not being involved in any of the conflicts, they still get pounded from every side.

Literally what the ****.

That’s actually a very bad sign when the number one producer of said gas can’t produce it for the rest of the world that’s going to drive costs up this winter dramatically man it’s nice to see only what you want to read…..also damn what’s up with those Houthis I think Iran let their reserve go wild finally I guess they have been ominously quiet for a reason

And yet gas is now going up up up diesel up up up cost of living is going up up up and we are still bragging about a dozen or so ships instead of the previous 140 that were traveling before this war.

Qatar ability to produce natural gas for the world has seemingly halted

Saudis are being crippled fairly easily

Quarter of a billion to half a billion to protect these ships…..yes yes Arabs will invest in American weapons that cost more than just making amends as the aggressor…..weapons offensive or defensive that won’t be coming any time soon but they will pay in advance for those weapons like suckers

Houthis have come up triumphant in Yemen…..guess who helped them there but everything is rosy

Man I agree Hezbollah is very quiet reminds you when they went quiet before they started banging up the idf



And yet we brag about a dozen ships….okay Trump Junior

Better to admit your wrong or just say hey mission accomplished we are packing up and going back home where we belong and where we should’ve invested the money spent on an idiotic war on Americans….i heard Trump is giving everyone 5000 if republicans win the election weird why not just give it to them now….oh wait he’s lying like he lies about everything else

Bottom line is over 10M b/d are making it through the southern passage while Iranian exports are zero and its economy cratering.

Qatars energy woes are a strategic boon for the US. An Bab el Mandab is primarily a Saudi/Euro problem.

You have no argument to make. Iran played its last card and lost.
