When you have been able to effectively destroy Iran's military AND leadership in a couple of weeks....what's the bleeping hurry?   Why the impatience??

We're watching them closely by orbital satellites and high altitude drones, etc..

IMO, the IRGC spoke with the good Lord and He told them "President Trump and the USA will be okay, but you???  You're pretty much bleeped"
Of course he can obliterate Iran in a few hours, but I will NEVER understand why he stopped Project Freedom?
I cannot find a reason why he would do that. It was working great.

By cancelling it, Trump stranded dozens of ships in the gulf for months. The only ones who wanted it stopped was Iran, because it was working.
Sometimes, the enemy of my enemy, is also my enemy.

If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

The IRGC only speaks to Allah, not the Christian Lord. They are not the same. Allah tells them they will survive because the Americans have shown they are inherently weak, their negotiators stupid, and cannot finish the war they started.

Trump blasts Iran for decades of deception, says will no longer be 'laughing' at US

President Donald Trump said Sunday that Iran has been playing with the United States for decades while warning Tehran that their laughing at America would end.

“Iran has been playing games with the United States and the rest of the World, for 47 years (DELAY, DELAY, DELAY!) and then finally hit “pay dirt” when Barack Hussein Obama became President,” Trump said in a post shared on Truth Social.

“He was not only good to them, he was great, actually going to their side, jettisoning Israel, and all other Allies and giving Iran a major and very powerful new lease on life, “ Trump added.

“Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and 1.7 Billion Dollars in green cash, flown into Tehran, was handed to them on a silver platter,” he said before adding that every bank in D.C., Virginia, and Maryland was “emptied out”

“It was so much money that when it arrived, the Iranian Thugs had no idea what to do with it. They had never seen money like this, and never will again. It was taken off the plane in suitcases and satchels, and the Iranians couldn’t believe their luck” he said.

“They finally found the greatest SUCKER of them all, in the form of a weak and stupid American President. He was a disaster as our “Leader,” but not as bad as Sleepy Joe Biden!” Trump added.

“For 47 years the Iranians have been “tapping” us along, keeping us waiting, killing our people with their roadside bombs, destroying protests, and recently wiping out 42,000 innocent, unarmed protestors, and laughing at our now GREAT AGAIN Country. They will be laughing no longer!” he warned

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Sunday that any talks do not mean Iran will surrender, appearing to reference negotiations that were underway with the United States.

“We will never bow our heads before the enemy, and if talk of dialogue or negotiation arises, it does not mean surrender or retreat,” Pezeshkian said in a post shared on X.

“Rather, the goal is to uphold the rights of the Iranian nation and to defend national interests with resolute strength,” he said.

His remarks came as Tehran sent a response to the latest U.S. peace proposal to mediators in Pakistan, Iranian state media reported.

Iran warns UK, France against naval moves in Strait of Hormuz

Iran’s deputy foreign minister warned Sunday against efforts by the United Kingdom and France to deploy naval assets to the Strait of Hormuz, vowing an "immediate response" to any Western intervention in the waterway.

"The presence of French and British vessels, or those of any other country, for any possible cooperation with illegal U.S. actions in the Strait of Hormuz that violate international law will be met with a decisive and immediate response from the armed forces," Kazem Gharibabadi said in a post on X.

Gharibabadi also said the deployment of "extra-regional destroyers" under the guise of protecting shipping is merely a "pretext" for escalating the ongoing crisis.

French President Emmanuel Macron attempted to de-escalate the tension Sunday.

"That has never been an option for France," Macron told reporters during a visit to Kenya. He noted that France instead had proposed an international mission co-led by the U.K. to ensure the resumption of traffic "in coordination with Iran, as soon as conditions permit."

The French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle and its strike group transited the Suez Canal toward the Red Sea on May 6 to remain "at the ready."

The U.K. Ministry of Defence also confirmed it was sending HMS Dragon to the Middle East and said the vessel is being "pre-positioned" to support an international coalition’s effort to secure the strait when conditions allow.

Trump rejects Iran proposal as 'totally unacceptable'

President Donald Trump on Sunday sharply dismissed Iran’s multipage proposal, signaling potential and continued deadlock in negotiations to end the war.

“I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called “Representatives.” I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” Trump said in a post shared on Truth Social.

According to reports, Iran’s response — delivered through Pakistani mediators — failed to address Washington’s core demand for advance commitments on the future of its nuclear program and uranium reserves.

Iran counterproposal leaves US key demand on nuclear program unresolved: reports

Iran submitted a multipage response Sunday to the latest U.S. proposal to end the war, outlining its demands but leaving gaps between the two sides, according to reports.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Iran’s response, delivered through Pakistani mediators, left unresolved Washington’s demand for advance commitments on the future of Tehran’s nuclear program and its stockpile of highly enriched uranium.

The outlet cited sources saying the proposal noted nuclear issues would be negotiated over the next 30 days.

Iran also proposed diluting part of its highly enriched uranium stockpile and transferring the remainder to a third country, the Wall Street Journal said.

According to Reuters, Iran’s new proposal also stressed the need to end the war on all fronts.

Citing the Tasnim News Agency and a source, the outlet said Iran’s proposal also included a request for guarantees against any renewed attacks.

Iran’s proposed text also underlines the necessity of ending the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports “following the signing of an initial understanding,” the outlet reported.

Iran’s proposed text for negotiations with the U.S. underlines the necessity of lifting U.S. sanctions.

Iran’s proposal also called for rescinding the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions related to Iranian oil sales during a 30-day period, the outlet said.

Trump Rejects Iran’s Latest Response as ‘Totally Unacceptable’ — ‘They Will Be Laughing No Longer’

President Donald Trump on Sunday rejected Iran’s latest response to the American offer to end the conflict as “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE,” warning Tehran it would “be laughing no longer” after reports indicated the regime refused key U.S. nuclear demands while pushing for sanctions relief, frozen assets, an end to the naval blockade, and control over the Strait of Hormuz.

Same here.

I'm still at "anything short of complete removal of the Mullah regime is total failure".

Anything less will just be a continuation of the same tired "kill America, Death to Americans" Game.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

What the hell are you waiting for?

47 is waiting for the Chinese visit to be over, then for the mid-terms. If the GOP wins and wins big, then, if 47 is still interested and not totally bored with the whole Iran thing, then maybe, if there are enough munitions to finish to bombing campaign, Epic Fury could resume. But mostly likely, there will be another round of pointless "negations". The Mad Mullahs survive, therefore, they win again.

As for the Straits being opened and the uranium and plutonium extracted, don't hold your breath. Both require either the 12ers are overthrown by the Iranian people or US/Israeli troops on the ground to ensure both are accomplished. Chances of either happening are near Zero to None. The Mad Mullahs survive, therefore, they win again.

By the tine the "negotiations" are done, 47 will be almost out of office, and the can kicked down the road until the Iranians have working nukes and use them. At that point, "serious negotiations"will commence ... The Mad Mullahs survive or become martyrs, therefore, they win again.

No Western power has the political will to take them out. In fact since WWII ended, Western powers have suffered a deficit of political will to do more than perpetuate their own helplessness in the face of hard decisions; there is always some excuse or other.

I realize that but Nuclear is Nuclear. Either they have enough for 11 or enough for 200, big difference between 11 and 200.

The difference is between the TYPES of nuclear weapon materials. The 11 are made using uranium, the other 200 are made using plutonium. So they have, in total, 211 potential nuclear weapons.

The 11 are easy to make compared to the 200 plutonium weapons, which require testing, unless given help from North Korea, Pakistan, China, or Russia.
