Despite DJT saying he’s in charge and that Israel won’t retaliate, well, you know the rest of the story - bombs falling in Tehran.
Hopefully, we’ll sit this one out and let them shoot at each other, but that seems unlikely.
If the Houthis really have the ability to shut down the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, that may be the next act in this deal. There’s no amount of SPR releases that would offset that.
You see you have the narrative all wrong. Iran is crazy for attacking things, this cannot be negotiated with! Even though the main driver of these issues seems to be our bestest buddy in Israel
You never commented on the main point- why was CNN running literal propaganda film from Iran?
Do you think a meaningful negotiated settlement is possible?
Specifically, do you think Iran would stop building towards nuclear weapons and stop funding terrorists if they agreed to do both?
At this point, no because we have absolutely demonstrated a need for them to have nuclear weapons. It’s like the wife beating neighbor got their house broke into and now they want a gun. I’m not saying they should have one, but I get it.
But also there’s no negotiating an agreement with any of these 3 parties because Iran is probably the most likely to be negotiating in good faith. Which is definitely a bad sign. Israel DGAF about any agreement, they’re going to do what they do. Fearless Leader has never met an agreement he doesn’t want to wipe his butt with including the ones he signed.
There are unconfirmed rumors that this bunghole was killed in an airstrike overnight.
If so, then GOOD RIDDANCE!!!
That guy had been wanted by Interpol for terrorism for decades, and had vowed to turn the Gulf of Oman into a graveyard.
I wasn’t responding to that question.
Did they almost indoctrinate you? But what about all the Americans at the Airport with this in the background? When they look up and see no faltering pictures of our President and propaganda from Iran. … so many will be indoctrinated
That guy was given credit for leading the push to kill 40,000 protesters a few months ago.
CNN was puffing him. That’s gross.
cnn has the “authorization” to be in Iran at the permission of the Iranian government. The cnn Iran based reporter even mentioned how he interviewed the Iranian Dictatorship president.
cnn brainwashing its audience…as usual.
This is cool. Well, the chopper going down isn’t cool, but the rescue is. 
Its funny how you see reporting as brainwashing. Those poor viewers can’t look away,
38th time ?
I’m just not feeling it.
Maybe when we get to the 47th or 86th time it will happen.
Being reported chopper was shot down. Great crew survived, but that’s another
$54 million lost 
The enemy gets a vote.
“The enemy gets a vote” is a popular military maxim stating that no matter how flawless or detailed your plans are, the adversary will actively take action, adapt, and disrupt your operations.[1, 2]
Origins and Popularization
While the foundational concept traces back to ancient strategists like Sun Tzu, the exact modern phrase is most famously associated with U.S. military leaders like former Secretary of Defense General James Mattis. Mattis frequently used the saying to remind planners that the adversary has their own capabilities, intent, and agency, meaning the outcome of any engagement is never solely determined by one side’s actions.

Is anyone still trying to claim the ceasefire exists?
The War Powers act is the only off ramp at this point. He can blame Congress for the withdrawal.
I’ve seen some reports that there are ship-to-ship oil transfers happening in the Persian Gulf, where Iran is trading passage through the Strait for cargo space on Omani, Saudi and other tankers.
I’m certain that the US is aware of this and is more interested in keeping prices under control than putting a messy stop to it.
