Goebbels would be proud of Iran.

Iran is the #1 person who would profit on any trading shenanigans as it knew when its missiles were launched..

My personal opinion the 3 amigos didn't profit off of Iran, nor do I believe anything Iran says .... and that's all I'm going to say on the subject.  888mouth

Just the one because 47 has told us they are defeated militarily so its just for show - the home folks lap it up.
Trump said that dozens of times, usually followed by one of his 'idiotic' unilateral ceasefires.
Trump also said that he could 'end' Iran in a matter of days, or weeks. That was true during epic-fury when he stopped and shut it all down for a "deal".

Days has already passed and now he is working on weeks. I hope he is right but reality is slapping us all with the fact that he was way too much overly optimistic.

It is a different guy. Go back only a few weeks and Trump was defending and apologizing for Iran. Now, he wants to destroy them.
The most STUPID thing Trump has ever said is when he told Israel not to retaliate after an Iran attack, "Because nobody got hurt".
He said that because Israel's futuristic defense systems shot down all the missiles Iran fired at them, they should just ignore it.
How many deaths did it take for Trump to wakeup from his Jimmy Carter stupor and to realize that Iran was just playing with him.
Which is something many of us on this board knew from the very start. The majority people knew that a 'deal' was never realistic.

It turns out that Vance, Kushner, and Witkoff, were trying to make real estate deals with Iran and were influencing Trump's actions.
Trump sent a group of childish naïve fools to Iran to so called 'negotiate' with polished professional slit-your-throat con-artists.
I can not express how Great it is that Trump finally picked up the fact that he was being duped, by Iran and by his own staff.
Was he duped, or was he just laying it out (by example) that Iran could not be trusted?
Virtually anyone with an IQ above 60 can now see that they cannot, even the Dems in Congress.

By getting the MOU, though, there was a negotiated cease fire for the Iranians to violate, and with them having done that, the War Powers clock should be re-set, and there are 60 days to find a more viable solution than what we had, by whatever means necessary.

He doesn't just have to deal with Iran, he has Congress and squadrons of Judges braying at his back.

I wish Trump would stop saying Iran has no military capability..apparently they do, they just killed 3 US soldiers... 9999hair out0000
A drunk driver in the US could have done the same thing.

I know, one American is one too many, and my prayers go up for, and heartfelt condolences go out to the families and friends of those who have perished, but this remains an incredibly lopsided conflict in terms of damage and casualties.

I believe much of Trump's optimism was from one of his 'advisors'; doubtful Hegseth, Cain or Rubio ...  Trump has a tendency to listen to the wrong people.

What has become apparent to him is that there are no 'deals' to be made with Iran.  He knows that they are far from being trustworthy, though all he really had to do was go by their history for the past 40+ years to realize that.

Just as I predicted!   (This ain't rocket science, Briefers)

Obtain the MOU.

"Ceasefire".....

IRGC breaks it...making themselves "INSURGENTS" inside Iran.

We blow the shit out of them!

No more IRGC!

Tomorrow’s dignified transfer for U.S. Servicemembers killed in the recent round of hostilities with Iran, at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, has been pushed to Wednesday, officials tell NewsNation. Four Servicemembers are expected to be returned to the United States from the Middle East, in a ceremony that will be attended by family members and a number of senior officials, including President Donald J. Trump.

ISRAELI INTEL: IRAN MOVED THOUSANDS OF CENTRIFUGES DEEP UNDERGROUND

Israeli intelligence reportedly believes Tehran transferred thousands of nuclear centrifuges into the Pickaxe Mountain tunnel complex near Natanz after the June 2025 war.

Buried beneath hundreds of feet of rock, the facility may be far harder to destroy from the air—and could allow Iran to secretly rebuild its enrichment program.

Iran has not granted the IAEA access to the site.

Trump has already warned that Pickaxe Mountain could soon be targeted.

Bob's point is this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Dresden

"War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it.", William T. Sherman once said to Atlanta's mayor in 1864.  But, despite Sherman's admonition, the U.S. has in fact tried to refine it since 1945, resulting in the losses and half-victories we're all sick off. 

I say it's time to fully unleash the dogs of real war against the Iranians!
First off Bob is an idiot, second that was the RAF.

As I recall, the Pickax site is >400 feet under impenetrable granite. It would take a nuclear deep penetrator to take the site out, as another has mentioned. Just more 47 bluster.

You are so very naive it hurts. Like I said you must have missed the 10s of thousands of civilians killed by the US in WWII. Most were deliberately killed. War is Hell, and anything less than that is not war; its a recipe for losing badly.

Kellogg: We Need Different Iran Negotiating Team That’s Not ‘Real Estate Guys’

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America Reports,” former Trump National Security Adviser and former Trump Envoy Keith Kellogg said that there should be a change in the American negotiating team in Iran because we don’t “need real
estate guys to be talking about negotiation in the middle of a war.” And any team should be someone tough who “can really do it well. And I don’t think we have that right now.”

Kellogg said, “Look, there [are] about five things we ought to be doing right now, because the war has changed, right now, in Iran. One on negotiations, I would change out our negotiations team. You do not…need real estate guys to be talking about negotiation in the middle of a war. And when you do bring a negotiations team back, it ought to be a real hardcore son of a bitch that is just sitting on the ground and can really do it well. And I don’t think we have that right now.”

Later in the segment, Kellogg cited Fox News Senior Strategic Analyst Gen. Jack Keane (Ret.) as an example of the kind of person who should be negotiating.

Trump maybe should learn from this Man....

William Tecumseh Sherman famously defined the nature of conflict with the assertion that “War is hell,” a phrase he popularized to warn that war is not glory but “cruelty” that cannot be refined.  He argued that “the crueler it is the sooner it will be over,” believing that total war tactics were necessary to crush the Confederacy’s will and infrastructure, thereby ending the American Civil War swiftly.

Sherman’s philosophy extended to the moral burden of conflict, stating that “those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses” for initiating it, while he himself sought “peace” only through “union and war.” He viewed war as an inevitable fixture of human nature but emphasized that it must be conducted with overwhelming force to prevent the “eternal war” of a divided nation.

First off Bob is an idiot, second that was the RAF.

The idiot says check this out:

Bombing of Dresden
In four raids between 13 and 15 February 1945, 772 heavy bombers of the Royal Air Force (RAF) and 527 of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) dropped more than 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices on the German city of Dresden.[a] The bombing and the resulting firestorm destroyed more than 1,600 acres (6.5 km2) of the city centre. Up to 25,000 people were killed. Three more USAAF air raids followed, two occurring on 2 March aimed at the city's railway marshaling yard and one smaller raid on 17 April aimed at industrial areas.

Bombing of Tokyo
The strikes conducted by the USAAF on the night of 9–10 March 1945, code named Operation of central Tokyo was destroyed, leaving an estimated 100,000 civilians dead and over one million homeless.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Tokyo

Then go on to look at the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki:
On 6 and 9 August 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively, during the final days of World War II. The aerial bombings killed 150,000 to 246,000 people, most of whom were civilians.

It's true.  And war is hell.  Had to be done, as it must be in Iran right now.  Half-measures will just give us another half-victory and kick the can down the road again.

You can't negotiate with the Iranians until you defeat the IRGC (by clandestine means on the ground, i.e., exploding cigars, exploding pagers, exploding goats).

Yeah, the US (and allies) bombed and killed hundreds of thousands of civilians in Hamburg, Dresden, Tokyo, etc.

Nobody made the Krauts invade Poland.  Nobody made the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor.  There was a ceasefire in Gaza on October 6, 2023, until Hamas broke it.  I don't have sympathy for aggressor nations/peoples/organizations.

CENTCOM completes new round of strikes on Iranian military targets

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed it had completed another round of new strikes against Iran at 9 p.m. ET on Monday.

The command said it struck Iranian military command centers, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and air defense systems to "degrade Iran's ability to continue attacking commercial vessels flowing through the Strait of Hormuz."

"Commercial vessel transits through the vital international maritime corridor continue," CENTCOM said in a post shared on X.

"Since early May, CENTCOM forces have helped facilitate the transit of approximately 900 commercial vessels and 450 million barrels of crude oil," it added before stating that U.S. forces are "postured and prepared to hold Iran accountable for unwarranted aggression toward civilian mariners seeking to freely and openly transit the strait."

Overthrowing Iran's regime has returned to the agenda in parts of the Trump administration after diplomatic efforts appeared to have failed, the Financial Times reported Monday.

"Elements of the Trump administration are once again flirting with Plan A — which is to topple the Iranian regime," the newspaper said.

In its analysis, the Financial Times also said efforts to encourage an internal uprising in Iran were back on Washington's agenda.

The report added that an earlier Israeli proposal to arm Kurdish groups opposed to Tehran was rejected by the administration but could now be revived as policymakers search for alternative options.

 US doesn’t have enough missiles to protect troops in Middle East for long-term war with Iran: experts
By Ronny Reyes
Published July 20, 2026, 4:56 p.m. ET

The US likely does not have enough munitions to sustain a prolonged all-out war with Iran — which is already adapting to bypass America’s defense systems in its attacks across the region, an expert told The Post.

While the Trump administration is reportedly considering a “wider war” against Iran, the US’s ability to engage in such a campaign could be undermined by America’s shrinking stockpiles of air defense and long-range missiles, according to Katherine Thompson, a senior fellow in defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute.

“Time is the main factor here. If this goes on for weeks and then we settle into a cease-fire, it could be fine,” she said.

“But I don’t think our munitions are in a great place if this lasts another year or two.”

Saturday’s deadly strike by Tehran that killed two US soldiers underscored America’s already existing logistical challenges in protecting its roughly 50,000 troops stationed in the region, the expert said.

“The attacks make it clear that the size of our presence in the Middle East has become more of a liability … and it shows the effect on our stockpiles used to protect that presence, as retaliatory attacks are still coming at an alarming rate,” she said.

 Israel believes Iran moved nuclear material inside notorious ‘Pickaxe Mountain’ site last year: report
By Samuel Chamberlain
Published July 21, 2026, 8:17 a.m. ET

Israeli intelligence officials believe Iran moved thousands of centrifuges used to enrich uranium deep inside the so-called “Pickaxe Mountain” site this past fall, raising fears that the Islamic Republic can quickly reconstitute its nuclear program.

The intelligence has been passed to the US, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, though it is unclear what, if any, action will come from it.

🚨WP: US intelligence estimates that the latest strikes by the US military in Iran are not having a significant impact on the leadership in Iran and are unable to soften Tehran's stance in negotiations. Intelligence notes that the US and Iran are currently stuck in an undefined intermediate state between peace and war, and Trump's current path of escalating conflict leads to a "dead end."

The United Arab Emirates foreign ministry issued a statement Tuesday saying it has “condemned in the strongest terms the renewed hostile attacks by Iran targeting the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Kuwait, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan with missiles and drones.”

The ministry said the “hostile attacks constitute a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the brotherly nations and a threat to their security and stability.”

"The Ministry reiterated the UAE's full solidarity with the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Kuwait, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and its support for all measures aimed at safeguarding their security and stability,” it added.

Iran has been launching attacks on countries in the Middle East in recent days at the U.S. military has been carrying out strikes against Iranian military targets.

Bahrain, Kuwait say they are being attacked by Iran

The militaries of Bahrain and Kuwait said Tuesday they are defending their countries against fresh attacks by Iran.

The Bahrain Defence Force said it “confronted, intercepted, and destroyed a number of treacherous Iranian aerial attacks” on Tuesday, and that “Iran continues its systematic hostile approach through its sinful attacks targeting civilians in the Kingdom of Bahrain.”

Kuwait’s Army said in a statement on X that “Kuwaiti air defenses are currently confronting hostile missile and drone attacks, following the sinful Iranian aggression.”

“The General Staff of the Army notes that if explosion sounds are heard, they are the result of the air defense systems intercepting the hostile attacks,” it added.

The action I would take is to detonate a couple of dirty bombs over the area to keep Iran from the site for years.

One has to wonder what happens when the UAE, Kuwait, etc run out of Patriot missiles. Will they demand the US sell them more from the dwindling stock? Will they demand the US to stop hitting Iran and go home? Deny them use of US bases on their territory?

Rattler shakes his tail in reply 775 above:
"It's true.  And war is hell.  Had to be done, as it must be in Iran right now.  Half-measures will just give us another half-victory and kick the can down the road again."

And I agree with you!

Like I said yesterday, if we are going "to win", it's going to require troops... or nukes.

How's that pickaxe mountain place going to be destroyed @400 ft. under solid rock?
C'mon folks, don't b.s. me.

Neither did Ukraine.  It used drones instead, very effectively, and a helluva lot cheaper.
