This is why we love the man. He understands Iran is just a walk in the park once the US Military is released upon them with an order to send them back to the stone age!!

I hate that things have gotten to that stage, but so be it.

Hmmm, ‘Turn Over Uranium, Destroy Centrifuges or Get Blown Up’...I just can’t decide...

I seriously don’t think the Iranians will comply. They might make motions to comply, to give a perception of compliance, but in reality’ they won’t actually stop their production. Which means their facilities get destroyed according to Pres. Trump. When that happens, it will be a great day for Israel, other Mideast countries and the U.S. The Russians, Chinese, North Koreans will do nothing. They will only have respect for our strength. I would think a couple MOABS on top of their underground sites should incapacitate them.

Well, Trump has been doing 180 turns on foreign policy so often it’s given me whiplash. Tomorrow he may say something entirely different. I hope he will this time, actually.

The U-235 needed to build a nuclear bomb can probably be hidden in two coffee cans placed somewhere in the very large country of Iran. It would be like hiding two coffee cans somewhere in the dirt of Texas.

Israel couldn’t find most hostages in relatively tiny Gaza despite being on the ground.

We don’t even know how much U-235 Iran has so we can’t be sure we got it all.

If Trump proceeds and DC gets vaporized, the Iranians will claim it couldn’t have been us.

Major policies should be discussed in cabinet and signed off by a vast majority of both cabinet members and key officials in the responsible department.

Trump reminds of Ronald Reagan telling the Ruskies, “The bombing will begin in five minutes”. Keep ‘em guessing Mr. President.

Hopefully he’s just poking fun at the late John McCain with these antics.

Well, that’s pretty straightforward. That’s why we voted for this man.

He wants a war. I am really disappointed in his giving in to an Israeli wish list.

It’s good that he’s giving them a chance to avoid conflict. But one thing the world cannot have is a nuclear armed fundamentalist nutter country. Just look at the havoc they have done to European and Asian trade in the Red Sea via their proxies. That has very little to do with us directly but we are the only ones capable of countering it. Obviously their strategic aims are one of the main reasons behind the devastation in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. They are also behind deaths and injury of Americans in Iraq. They can’t be allowed nukes.

Some people say Iran has formidable anti-aircraft technology but clearly they do not as Israel has gone in and out several times. I don’t think anyone wants a boots on the ground war with Iran. And surely just flying is combat risk. But a very targeted and limited campaign, targeting their nuclear facilities and perhaps some of their conventional sites, is very possible. The heavy bombers can take out even hardened under mountain facilities from 40,000 feet while F35 and others can take out more conventional sites.

The biggest risk I think is that they will go rogue and fire missiles at seemingly random targets. Our ships, certainly. Our bases in the regions, probably. Israel, definitely. Saudis and others - perhaps. Everyone will be on high alert.

Most likely bluster, imo. Let’s see how Iran responds.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Although, Iran could make a counter offer to end the religious theology government, try as terrorists and execute their Republican Guard. Adopt a strict Constitution that precludes any foreign military action (aka Japan’s) and commits to absolute democratic elections.

I think that the leaders would prefer Trump’s approach.
