Trump probably had a deal with one group, but they were tossed aside by the IRGC top dogs.
I think that's what happened with the opening and then "closing" of the Strait last week.
The IRGC must be forever broken. That will only be done with “Boots on the Ground”. The 8th Air force bombed Germany into a ruin but they fought on—it took grunts to finish them off, American, Brits and Soviets. They could have fought on for ages if we waged just an air war (or we could have nuked em into surrender). But, we do not have the guts to use a nuke or two on Iran—Nukes have been rendered unusable in today’s world. The IRGC has enough popular support to keep the war going for a year—Then the Dimmycrats win the House—Trump and Vance are deposed by impeachment-—Dimmycrat Speaker becomes President to rip away all things Trump and put him in jail for life as a war criminal (or hang him in mock Nuremberg trials). Fight on! Iran—you have nothing to lose! Viet Cong beat a bound Uncle Sam-—you can win, and win big.The Dimmycrats will give you lots of money and let you have nukes—that you will use.
