@sunsporter1649 Iran never had an air force, they didn’t bother with one, they’ve been sanctioned for over 60 years, so wouldn’t be able to acquire spare parts etc, so for the last 40 years, they’ve concentrating on missiles, drones, hypersonic missiles etc, their navy is mainly speed boats that carry torpedoes and underwater drones, seems to be working very well for them, doesn’t it,

@sunsporter1649 Here's the problem. Trump is plainly in denial, claiming regime change has already been achieved via assassination. He has this strange habit of behaving like a spectator, detached from the chaotic events he himself sets in motion.
He acts as if the global energy shock, the US’s abject failure to defend the Hormuz strait and its Gulf allies, Iran’s unyielding defiance under fire, and the absence of the predicted popular uprising in Tehran have nothing to do with him.
He doesn’t understand Iran is fighting an asymmetric war, that even the biggest bombs cannot obliterate pride and ideology, faith and history.
That's why he's desperate for an out. I challenge you to respond without a meme or a deflection.

This is what the U.S. does. We are fundamentally a war machine. Presidents boast of "no wars" in their candidacies, but we need ongoing war to survive and feed the defense industry. Sometimes that only involves selling weapons to other nations (like Israel), but sometimes it involves being directly involved. Thinking "it will be different this time" (despite the fact that Iran is a much more formidable enemy than Iraq and Afghanistan ever were) is also a key part of never learning from history, something we're great at in this country.

using expeditionary forces/special forces to carry out a set goal doesn't qualify as a "ground invasion"; we do it all the time in various countries.
yes, Iran wants to make a deal cause they're getting the shit kicked out of them. Their air force is destroyed, their blue water navy is destroyed, their air defenses are mostly destroyed, and continued resistance/threats are merely delaying the inevitable.
there's no need for a full on invasion, as once they lose complete control of hormuz strait, they'll essentially be rendered impotent... (it's the only thing they have left that can be used as any sort of leverage)

Pants on fire , USA cover up that 13 billion ship was hit by missile . A fire broke out on March 12, 2026, in the main laundry area of the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) while the ship was operating in the Red Sea in support of Operation Epic Fury against Iran.
