President Donald Trump reportedly told Group of Seven leaders this week that Iran is "about to surrender," as the U.S. and Israel continue a sweeping military campaign against the regime's military infrastructure.
According to Axios, Trump made the remark during a virtual call Wednesday, boasting about the results of the ongoing U.S.-led military operation targeting Iran’s missile forces, navy, and defense industry.
"I got rid of a cancer that was threatening us all," Trump reportedly told the leaders, referring to "Operation Epic Fury" and the strikes that have hammered Iranian military targets over the past two weeks.

I don't anticipate Iran will surrender as long as even one missile remains. And their territory intact.
I don’t think the Islamic Republic government is going to surrender. It won’t happen until they have been physically removed and a new government installed to surrender, whether by our and allied troops or a street revolution like Romania in 1989. And even then there will be a lot of dead enders causing problems like in Iraq after Saddam was chased out.
I have a feeling that once the ICRG thugs are defanged and the Iranian people start dishing out some well deserved street justice things will start happening very quickly.
I hope we start air dropping crates of AK-47s and ammo when the time is right.
L
Correct.
The IRGC is a death cult, but they do care about themselves, they hide in schools, use people as human shields, and walk around pretending to be women so they dont get droned, so they do value their own lives, just not anyone else
Step up drone strikes. Destroy the check points. Return the Shah.
That picture needs to be hanging in every elected official’s office and every government building in the country.
THey are religious zealots. You have to kill them to defeat them.
The incessant hype coming out of the Administration creates unreasonable expectations of quick success.
Two days into our attacks, President Trump was declaring “almost” victory.
Every day the Iranians persist diminishes US credibility and weakens public and international credibility.
No one should be advertising a timetable measured in days and weeks.
Yep, we can bomb bomb bomb Iran and they will.not surrender. Nor will the people rise up in support of those bombing them.
I really don’t think so.
Iran will not give up. It will take lots of boots on the ground.
It is going to be a long spring, summer, and maybe fall.
"Near" is not a number.
Why would Islamic fanatics surrender when 72 virgins are waiting if they die in jihad?
Two weeks to stop the spread!
Correct.
Yeah, that's what they said at the end of WW2 about the Japanese. :)

I can’t recall an event where real Islamic fanatics have surrendered in defeat. Saddam’s army wasn’t shia, it was sunni, even though Shia formed the majority.
Shia are the all-in, fundamentalist Muslims.
Mahyar Tousi reported that at least some of the mullahs have been recorded at Canadian and British airports; they’re escaping.
I’m wondering if Trump’s claims are based on that, as well as knowing that Kharg Island was going to be hit.
I also strongly doubt that they will surrender, though. I’m not sure what surrender would even look like.
“I don’t think the Islamic Republic government is going to surrender.
Correct.

Are you suggesting we use nuclear weapons in Iran now? That really would get WWIII rolling right along!
This is a "police action".
