Well done! That is a good day in Iran.

Hopefully a sign of things to come.

Iran has dozens of Commanders. And the most likely outcome is further repression of the Iranian people.

Have you met a war in the Middle East before?

Yep, then we'll be on another nation building mission. MIC gets exactly what they wanted.

Yeah, they're really going to love the bloated contracts to replace all the munitions they depleted in quick fashion.

Good. Israel should arm the hell out of every separatist group and militia in Iran against the regime. They should bankroll them. Let them build tunnels and bases all over Iran..........just like Iran has done to them for 47 years.......

Does Iran finally understand that pursuing their nuke weapon program is not worth the cost? Any deal would need air tight verification. I am very skeptical, but one can hope.

"Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian flatly denied Thursday that Tehran wants a nuclear bomb while claiming Iran is willing to submit its nuclear program for international inspection,....."

"Asked point-blank during an exclusive interview on Fox News’ "Special Report," "Do you want a nuclear bomb or not?" Pezeshkian firmly rejected the premise. "Not at all. Not at all."

I'm not talking directly about people's commentaries here...I'm talking about citing articles and discussing some of the major global events of the last two decades. Which was covered a tad bit on every major news outlet. If you don't know about either, you must be REALLY young or just purposefully obtuse.

Nah, but one does have to consider the sources linked to on this site. I am fairly well versed on geopolitics, I just don't pretend, like some here, to know EXACTLY what is going on all the time in every hotspot.

The problem is Islamist lie. Whether they say they want one or not doesn’t matter. The rest of the world needs to make damn sure they never get one no matter what they say.

Yeah...and...okay...how'd our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan work out in the long run? Iran is twice as strong as each of those countries.

Correct. Many of the more extreme Islamist believe the Quran essentially says its ok to lie to infidels if the lie advances Islam. This is especially true during war.

Yep, this right here. There are too many factions to keep up with and they all have different goals and different ideas of how to reach their differing goals.

You have only beetched about anyone doing anything about it so that clearly says you want to ignore it.

No more deals. Not when Iran is still making "demands." Let 'em slink down further in the muck and slime they've made for themselves. The midterms won't change the POTUS's resolve.

Quote:President Donald Trump said Saturday that Iran, who is “losing so badly” in their war against the U.S., wants to strike a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz “because they’re dying.”

“I’ve rejected their deal,” Trump said after Iran proposed a temporary ceasefire in exchange for reopening the key waterway. “They want to make a deal where they open the strait immediately because they're losing so badly.”

"We’re winning tremendously. We have total control of the Hormuz Strait, massive amounts of oil are coming out of the Hormuz Strait,” Trump continued. “Last night we had 29 ships come out. They want to make a deal, and I think that's fine, I like making a deal, too, but that deal would not be acceptable.”

“And what they want to do is immediately open the Hormuz Strait. You know why? Because they're dying,” Trump added. “You know why they're dying? Because they have no money coming in. Because they get their money from the Hormuz Strait. So they outsmarted themselves. They said, 'let's close it and cause a problem for the world.' And then I came along and we put up the greatest blockade ever in military history. It's a wall of steel.”

“I would put it up and guess what? They don't have any money now because they wanted to close the strait. And I said, ‘that's fine, we're going to close it on you. But everybody else is able to use it,’” Trump also said.

Let's make a deal. Nope.
