Maybe that’s for the Iranians to read.
I would think there is a detailed battle plan and strategy for all anti-American countries from our forces.
That’s why they say “four ships joined the carrier group” and so on. Not made up as they go along, already plans for contingencies.

I’ve had to deal with him. He’s more like Turgidson than Ripper.

it’s Bovine Excrement or a propaganda chess move. or both

Governments have senor people say things to inform potential adversaries. The more dramatic the message the further the speaker is from the seat of power. China will have a retired general give a speech or write an article detailing their plans to decapitate the US with a surgical atomic strike. Something like this which was released as the US and Iran are conducting talks is probably aimed at making them take the offer on the table more seriously.

The fact that Trump has been presented with a detailed plan containing several options should be a surprise to no one.
At the least, it should serve as a stark reminder to Iran that this administration is very different from the Obama - Biden administrations.

And surely there will be a Congressional Declaration of War.
Right?
I doubt seriously he could get one.

Trump communicates important information directly, or not at all.
To: Gman
It was openly stated in Congress.
So, while I’d normally agree with you, this appears to be a message.
