Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end, and the highly effective Blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be OPEN TO ALL, including Iran. If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Just remember, the Civilian Government of Iran does not have control over the Revolutionary Guard Corps. They are essentially independent in time of war according to their constitution..........
Finish it already. There are no “negotiations”.
One need not make dire threats to something that’s “already been agreed to”.
“One need not make dire threats to something that’s “already been agreed to”.”
It’s the Iranis. Aggreementbis nebulous at best. You know that
No nukes, no ballistic missiles, no proxies, and no more threats to Iran’s neighbors. Otherwise, maintain the blockade and allow their economy to implode.
We don’t need more bombs. We need more patience.
Patience is a luxury we do not have.
When this “deal” comes to fruition, who enforces it??
No talks, no deal either surrender or die.
But pour one out for the now-defunct Operation Freedom that lasted all of 24 hours.
He has given them every opportunity to survive.
Ravid is little more than a stenographer who has reliably broken the news of five of the last zero peace agreements negotiated since the start of the war
They wont.
A reminder from the NYT:
“Mr. Trump himself described his objectives in the early hours of Feb. 28, when he told the country, in a video he had recorded earlier, that he had five major goals.
The first, of course, was to ensure that Iran can “never have a nuclear weapon.” But he went on to add that the United States had to destroy Iran’s ballistic missiles and their launchers, sink its navy, end its support of terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas and, finally, create the conditions for the Iranian people to topple their government.”
Repeated threats with no follow thru never works.
The 4.50 a gallon gas thing and a stagnant economy, no pun, trumping all other issues. Even with redistricting and a 50/50 chance of keeping the House. Trump needs to get this wrapped up by Summer... aka before the 4th. Americans have short memories, and if gas is at 3.00 and the economy is picking up steam... well, better than 50/50. Democrats may have peaked too early.
It is Day 68 of the war and Iran is still resisting and still controlling the Strait of Hormuz. Why should they surrender now?
Another day, another TruthSocial post about Iran and another idle threat. The last one I saw, is that we were entering into a Memorandum of Understanding with Iran. That’s a far cry from the unconditional surrender that we started with.
Time to start loading those beautiful BUFFS with the standard load of (Vietnam-style) 84 x 600 lb. dumb bombs.
