@therealrthorat So you support the execution of people for participating in a protest at the age of 15? Shameful.

How can so many Americans possibly support this regime? You oppose a regime-change war against them even as they do this?

Disgusting. How long until Iranians rise up and reclaim their country . . .

Iran’s military has exceeded U.S. and Israeli expectations: They continue to heavily strike the Gulf and Israel, and have introduced more capable and more destructive missiles as the war escalates (Karashneg with cluster munitions)
Trump has 2 options:
1. Seek an off-ramp. Accept the loss, portray it as a win to his voter base, and move to the next target: Cuba
2. Escalate: Strike Iranian infrastructure and bleed the country into submission, with the option of sending troops to seize the Strait of Hormuz
Option 1 avoids further U.S. debt and munition shortages, but gives up on the objective of controlling the Strait of Hormuz. This would be a massive win for China, giving it energy supremacy and a huge edge in the AI race.
Option 2 could lead to a capitulation of the Iranian regime, meaning U.S. control over the Straits, allowing long term leverage over China. However Iran could also turn into another forever war, a failed state, with hundreds of thousands of dead. Think Iraq, but worse
I feel Trump has made up his mind, and seems set to go all the way. The long term strategic importance of the Straits seems to outweigh the risks of another forever war
I hope he’s making the right choice, as I am extremely worried, especially if China decides to increase military support to Iran and turn the conflict into a geopolitical proxy war.
But despite things looking bleak at the moment, we may also see a capitulation of the Iranian regime, an end to the war, and the U.S. having control/influence of the Straits. Although unlikely, it is not impossible.

No matter what Trump does next, the Middle East will never look the same - Gulf countries are pissed - Iran is more hardline - Russia & China are salivating And if the regime survives, Trump loses any chance to control the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. will come out much weaker, and China much stronger Trump should have never started this war, but at this stage may have no option but to finish the job.

@TheMaineWonk Hey @grok did @TheMainewonk ever post about criticizing the Biden administrations spending on illegal immigration and the 300 billion his Administration gave to Ukraine ?

@MarioNawfal @karen4the6th Hey @grok has Karen Kwiatkowski ever publicly, condemned the Iranian regime for machine gunning down and murdering its own civilians?

🚨🇮🇷 IRAN SAYS: “WE WARNED YOU”
Karen Kwiatkowski says Iran repeatedly told Gulf states not to trust U.S. and Israeli alliances.
Now, those same countries are facing the fallout.

@MarioNawfal Hey @grok has ex cia agent Larry Johnson ever publicly condemned the Iranian regime ?

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 THE U.S HAS RUN OUT OF TARGETS ABOVE GROUND IN IRAN
Ex-CIA Larry Johnson says everything worth hitting is now underground.
So what's left? Civilian infrastructure. Power grids.
Strike Iran's electricity, Iran kills the electricity in every Gulf city.
Witkoff reportedly called Iran's foreign minister to restart talks.
Iran's likely response: "You've betrayed us twice. Lift the sanctions. Pull your forces from the Gulf. Then we'll open the Strait."
17 days in. The Gulf oil shutdown has already broken every historical record.
And the global recession hasn't even started yet.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 THE FOOD SHORTAGE HITS IN OCTOBER. NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT Ex-CIA Larry Johnson says Iran's strategy is working better than even Iran expected. First the radars went dark. Then the refueling tankers. Then the command centers. Then the Strait. Iran didn't just target soldiers. It targeted the entire system keeping the US military operational. And now a third of the world's fertilizer supply is gone cut off at the exact moment the northern hemisphere enters planting season. The food crisis doesn't hit seriously until October. Meanwhile Iran has shifted its missiles away from Tel Aviv, now targeting Israeli air bases in the Negev. Closing in on Dimona. Israel's nuclear site.

🇩🇪🇮🇷 Germany won't escort ships through Hormuz. Won't host US offensive aircraft. Won't join the war.
But they do operate 6 of the quietest submarines on earth.
The Type 212A runs on hydrogen fuel cells. No nuclear reactor. No need to surface for weeks. Virtually silent. Undetectable to most sonar. Armed with heavyweight torpedoes and capable of diving beyond 700 meters.
Stealthier than most nuclear subs. Without the nuclear reactor that gives them away.
Germany is sitting this war out publicly while quietly possessing the exact weapon that would make Iran's navy very nervous.

Hegseth: The only thing prohibiting transit in the straits right now is Iran shooting at shipping. It is open for transit should Iran not do that. We have a plan for every option here. We’re aware of that. *hand chop* We’re laser focused.
