Iran's parliament speaker threatening to "set American soldiers on fire" is exactly the kind of bluster that historically precedes capitulation or catastrophic miscalculation. IDF Spokesman Defrin confirmed the IDF is days away from completing strikes on all vital components of Iran's military industry destroying most of Iran's military production capabilities permanently. Ground forces arriving as air supremacy is completed is textbook combined arms doctrine. Iran has one week to choose diplomacy. The USS Tripoli, 82nd Airborne and Marine Expeditionary Units are the alternative. 🇺🇸🇮🇱⚔️💪

US official: By the start of next week, there'll be enough forces to allow for a significant ground operation against Iran - Israel's i24 News

@financialjuice Horrible strategic mistake if they put more troops in close reach of Iran - they still fail to understand what drives the Iranian regime.
English
@revishvilig Only long rane drones or are they sending frontline drones as well? Russian fiberoptic drones/tactics could be a real threat to possible US landings (suppose to Israeli troops in Lebanon as well).

Russia is sending a shipment of drones to Iran including upgraded versions of the drone technology that Tehran originally supplied to Moscow after its invasion of Ukraine. 1/8

@20OSSA1 @Lou_Mannheim Bästa som kan hända Iran om USA sätter begränsade trupper på marken som kommer sitta där och få drönare och artilleri över sig o skapa en jämn ström förluster som sätter ännu mer tryck på Trump att backa.

@Lou_Mannheim @fredde129 Ja, men de sätter nog inte folk på marken där utan att ha bombat rejält innan.

Är den oranga clownen verkligen dum nog att driva igenom det här? Antagligen.

@fredde129 Man kunde ju hoppas att det fortfarande finns generaler han lyssnar på men en sån som Trump kör ju i regel på efter eget bevåg tills han stoppas på ett eller annat sätt. Lite som Putin.

@FirstSquawk Perfect. Now declare that you won, pull back at once and stay away from creating more chaos. Thanks.

Att blockera Hormuz ses ofta som enbart en energikris. Fast egentligen är det mycket bredare än så och har en enorm påverkan på många olika värdekedjor. Katastrof om Trump ställer till med en utdragen blockad.

@SpecialSitsNews Still in way above his head. And the fools will probably give Iran another strong card by seizing an island or two, putting US soldiers in harms way with steady casualties to further erode the staying power.

On Monday Trump threw Pete under the bus
In Tennessee (3/23/26), Trump stated: "Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up and you said let's do it. Hegseth has been the most vocal proponent of the war, giving "bombastic" press briefings about "death and destruction”

Och det här - uruselt förberedda och inga långsiktiga planer. Jämför uppbyggnaden för Irak.

BREAKING: A three-star US Marine general just sent a letter to 35,000 reservists asking if their desert camouflage is packed and their families are prepared. One day later, 3,500 Marines arrived in the Middle East. The letter is dated March 26 2026. It is signed by Lieutenant General Leonard F. Anderson IV, Commander of Marine Forces Reserve and Marine Forces South. It asks: “Is your desert MARPAT readily available, is your gear packed and ready to pick up and move, or is it stored away in a corner of your home? Are your family’s affairs in order?” Then the sentence that stops everything: “This is not a theoretical exercise. Our forces are currently engaged in operations connected to Iran and are positioned to preserve stability in the Western Hemisphere. Our enemies get a vote, and a mass mobilization could become reality.” On March 27, the day after this letter was sent, USS Tripoli arrived in CENTCOM’s area of responsibility carrying 3,500 sailors and Marines with F-35B fighters, attack helicopters, and amphibious assault assets per CENTCOM’s official announcement and CBS News. USS Boxer with the 11th MEU and another 2,200 Marines departed San Diego mid-March on an accelerated schedule and will arrive mid-April, after Easter Sunday on April 5. The Wall Street Journal reports the Pentagon is considering sending up to 10,000 additional ground troops to the Middle East. 1,500 from the 82nd Airborne Division have already deployed per Fox News. Task and Purpose reports that more than 200 US troops have been wounded and 13 service members killed since the war began on February 28. USS Gerald R. Ford, deployed for 277 days, has pulled into Croatia for repairs after a fire, breaking the post-Vietnam carrier deployment record. Secretary of State Rubio said Friday the US can meet its objectives “without any ground troops” per CBS News. Then he added: “the president has to be prepared for multiple contingencies” and American forces are available “to give the president maximum optionality.” Read the letter again through the lens of what happened after it was sent. A general asks 35,000 reservists about their desert gear and their families. The next day 3,500 Marines arrive in theatre. The Pentagon weighs 10,000 more. The April 6 deadline is eight days away. And the handwritten note at the bottom of the official correspondence reads: “Fight’s on!” Here is what the letter reveals that the deployment numbers do not. Desert MARPAT is the Marine camouflage pattern designed for arid environments. Not jungle. Not woodland. Not urban. Desert. The general is not asking about readiness for the Western Hemisphere. He is asking about readiness for the Middle East. The camouflage tells you the theatre. The family preparation tells you the timeline. The “mass mobilization could become reality” tells you the scale. This war has consumed 11,000 targets struck per CENTCOM’s latest update. Over 150 Iranian vessels destroyed. 943 Patriot interceptors fired in four days. One AWACS damaged on the ground. Swiss F-35 funds raided. Qatar’s helium cut by 14 percent. Japan burning through 80 million barrels of reserves. Thirty nationalities on a single casualty list. And now a three-star general is telling reservists to check their desert uniforms and prepare their families. April 6 is eight days away. The Boxer arrives after Easter. The letter was sent before either date. The countdown has already started. Full analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@ShaleTier7 Any special dating sites recommended for women interested in geopolitics?

DATING TIP: she does not want you to ask her about her interests and hobbies and feelings. She wants you to explain the implications of the current Iranian conflict. She wants to told about geopolitics. She wants a man that is monitoring the situation.

@FierceLionPrv28 @FurkanGozukara This idiot has no clue whatsoever what NATO is about and its statutes. Partners also don’t threat with invasions, badmouth or wage economic warfare on each other.

🔥 🇺🇸 This activist is pushing the false story that President Trump is abandoning NATO over Iran but the truth is he is simply testing allies to stop the freeloading and make sure everyone pulls their weight like real partners. Patriots share this truth with your friends and family demand fair reciprocity from every ally and stand strong with President Trump to keep America first in every alliance without carrying dead weight.

Massive geopolitical shift. Trump announces the US is abandoning NATO because European nations refused to join his illegal and disastrous war against Iran. The American empire is completely isolating itself on the world stage.
By the way Israel didn't send a single soldier.

@MartinSkold2 The US can easily conquer Iran but the cost-benefit analysis would be absolutely horrible
English
Somebody mentioned a week or two ago that, akshually, Iran is one of the most conquered countries in history. It is (or, it could be)…by other Indo-Iranians. Exceptions like Alexander or Stalin are just that.
Similarly, you can conquer Russia from the Steppe but not from Europe, and you can conquer China from within but not from without.
The US is a Rimland, not a Heartland player. Its strategy has to reflect that.

Land war in Asia? What could go wrong?

“No ground troops needed.” That was Rubio. The 82nd Airborne whose only job is ground combat disagrees by being there.
🎯 Rubio speaking from Paris after G7 meetings: US objectives are “ahead of schedule.” End date is “weeks, not months.” The US can achieve its goals without ground troops. Those goals are to destroy Iran’s navy, air force, and missile production capacity.
At the same time, 5,000 Marines and 1,000 paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne have been sent to the region. Rubio called them a “contingency” force to give Trump “maximum optionality.” The 82nd Airborne has one primary function and that is jumping into hostile territory to seize airfields under fire. That is not a defensive deployment.
Rubio also confirmed the US still does not know who would negotiate for Iran. “Who was it that we would be talking to? What will we be talking about?”
Iran has not formally responded to the 15-point ceasefire plan. 303 US troops have been wounded. 13 killed.
One more detail from Paris: Rubio warned G7 allies that Iran may impose a permanent Hormuz tolling system the moment the war ends. Europe and Asia must have a plan ready.
The war ends in weeks. The Hormuz problem does not end with the war.
