“Reopen the Strait of Hormuz.”
Yeah.
Open it FIRST, then, when the area is stable, talks can resume.
Till then?
Stay in your holes.
.
The news media in the West no kidding declared Iran the winner, claimed we were running out of options and this is a forever war where Iran won’t cave.
I bet 350 - 500 MILLION USD per day that Iran wants to talk and end this.
That blockade is hurting them.
Our bombings seriously degraded their navy, air force and air defense. We seriously reduced their drone and missile manufacturing. We threw their nuclear program back by as much as 2 years.
All that, despite Iran investing billions over years to counter us and having some Russian and Chinese help. This despite them building specialized / purpose built bunkers to defeat our most capable bunker busters which we turned to rubble anyway.
Our missile defense works, 92-96%.
We decapitated their leadership.
This was done quickly, with minimal collateral damage, few losses on our side. The kill ratio was so one sides that stating what is in this case likely somewhat factual appears fake >200:1.
We cleared a water minefield in Hormuz quickly, where again an enemy had YEARS to prepare.
Them trying to close the Gulf is nothing new:

This military campaign is about as successful as they come, given the type of objective and size of enemy.
Trump is 100% right. We hold the cards. We have all the leverage. The ONLY thing which can stop us, is us. If our internal political process allows for some maggot to score some political capital out of this by going against the war and this actually adversely impacts the war, that’s us doing this to us.
