🇮🇱🇺🇸 Israel says its soldiers won't join any U.S. ground operation in Iran...

Channel 12 reports the IDF is sitting this one out if boots hit the ground.

Israel will reportedly keep bombing from the air but won't send troops 1,000 miles into Iranian territory.

The logic is straightforward.

Israel doesn't have the logistics to sustain ground forces that far from home.

So the country that pressured the U.S. into this war, that struck South Pars without permission, that keeps bombing through peace talks, and whose intelligence helped justify the entire operation, won't be sending a single soldier if the mission gets dangerous enough to require ground troops.

🇺🇲🇮🇱 Since the Iran war began, the U.S. has delivered ammunition to Israel on more than 200 military cargo flights.

One plane every 3-4 hours. For a month straight.

Whatever Washington says at the podium... this is the actual foreign policy.

The military operatives systematically used ambulances to transfer weapons between northern to southern Lebanon. Additionally, dozens of rockets have been launched toward Israel from areas in which these terrorists operated.

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson says no direct negotiations with the United States have taken place, adding proposals conveyed through intermediaries, including Pakistan, were largely “maximalist, unrealistic and unreasonable.”

Who needs bombs?  There are other ways to neutralize their effectiveness.

The most well known of those ways has been spoken abut by Democrats and the UK's Starmer  - to wit: they can be "managed". A sentiment which amounts to helping them manage which targets they select for nuclear annihilation.

[BobfromWB]

They'll probably try to sole source the contract to some big well-connected company like KBR, SAIC, Fluor, V2X, etc.

Divergent Technologies is "hot" at the moment.

[BobfromWB]

Trump also addressed tensions with Iran, saying he believes the country is “begging” for a deal, according to Channel 14’s post on X.

He added that any nation that had been “decimated,” as he described Iran, would be seeking negotiations.

Religious fanatics neither beg nor care about being “decimated”. Points that seem to have escaped 47 and his team.

Religious fanatics can only be killed to the man/woman/child. No prisoners, no exceptions.

Ukraine's track record against Russian/Iranian drones.  Maybe they know something we don't:


Anton Gerashchenko
@Gerashchenko_en

Yesterday was the largest combined Russian attack on Ukraine. During the day, Russia launched 556 drones, and only 15 of them reached their targets - just about 3%.

Ukraine’s air defense shoots down up to 95-97% of drones targeting civilian cities, and this happens every day.

Ukraine’s air defense is one of the most powerful in the world.  .  .  .

Who cares about that? Their leader has no fashion sense!! A very offensive person to 47.

🇩🇪🇺🇸 Because of the Iran war, Germany’s AfD has called for the U.S to withdraw its 40,000 troops from the country.

Co-leader of the party, Tino Chrupalla, argued that Germany should no longer be drawn into international conflicts and must chart a more independent foreign policy course.

Source: The Telegraph

The Germans are really POd!! They have lost their multi-million mark Iranian centrifuge contracts. Its a real shame.

To make it tight, the Germans want to get American troops out of the country and the the multi-billion dollar revenue they bring to Germany's coffers.

Trump:

I am pleased to report that the United States of America is in serious negotiations with a new, more reasonable Iranian regime to bring a complete and total end to the military operations taking place in the Middle East.  If a deal is not reached quickly, and the Strait of Hormuz is not fully reopened without threat, we will have no choice but to obliterate their electric generating plants, oil wells, Kharg Island, and possibly their desalination facilities!  This would be retribution for the death and destruction they have caused to our great soldiers and to the world.  MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Cairo has informed Tehran that any attempt to close the "Bab al-Mandab" Strait this time is a "RED LINE" and will be met with a decisive Egyptian military response.

Peshmerga forces are now getting weapons directly from the US bypassing Iranian compromised Iraq.

In this photo it seems like they got drones.

It’s been confirmed they also have been armed with Lucas drones.

Former Centcom commander: US military has been working on Iran ground raid plans for years
by Tara Suter - 03/29/26 6:02 PM ET

Retired Gen. Frank McKenzie, the former commander of U.S. Central Command (Centcom), said Sunday that the U.S. military has been working on plans for a ground raid in Iran for years, as President Trump is reportedly considering sending troops into the war.

“Margaret, for many years we’ve considered options along the southern coast of Iran, seizing islands, seizing small bases. Typically raids. And a raid is an operation with a planned withdrawal. You’re not going to stay. But some of those islands you could seize and hold. That would have a couple effects,” McKenzie told CBS News’s Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation.”

“First of all, it would be profoundly humiliating for Iran and would give us great weight in negotiations. The second, the example of Kharg Island, which everyone talks about, if you seize Kharg Island, you really can shut down the Iranian oil economy completely. And the beauty of seizing it is, you’re not destroying it,” he said.

The Washington Post reported this weekend that the Department of Defense was preparing plans for ground operations lasting for weeks in Iran. The ground operations may involve special operations forces and regular infantry troops undertaking raids, U.S. officials told the Post.

President Donald Trump says Iran will allow 20 cargo ships to transport oil through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday.

The concession comes as the U.S. and Tehran are engaged in ceasefire talks this week, as Trump says there is a "new and more reasonable" regime in power.

Israeli officials say Iran's internet blackout is concealing the full extent of the damage that U.S. and Israeli strikes have delt to the Iranian regime in recent weeks.

Fox News' Trey Yingst says Iranians have spent nearly 30 days without internet access, which has been cut off by the regime in Tehran.

"700+ hours without internet in Iran," Yingst wrote in a post on X. "Israeli officials are now sounding the alarm about the ongoing blackout."

"When this blackout is lifted, the full extent of the damage to the regime will become clear," a senior Israeli intelligence official told Fox News.

What happened to "unconditional surrender?"

Rattler shakes us with:
What happened to "unconditional surrender?"

As I posted previously here:
https://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php?topic=579840.msg3291863#msg3291863
"There are no negotiations possible that will lead to unconditional surrender."
