Three weeks.
Once the $$$ is gone, the ruling class will be off to Russia.

I would advise that Israel drop additional and incendiary bombs into the 6 holes we made at Fordow, and depleted uranium shells at the other nuke sites.

What I find strange is that the lights are still on in both Tel Aviv and Tehran

Both sides seem to be sticking to military targets - for now anyway.

Beats me. Iran is threatening to shut off the Straits of Hormuz, which is how Europe gets most of its oil. Since we have to take care of all of Europe's military issues for some reason, we'd have to break any Iranian blockage of the Straits. And if we didn't worldwide oil prices could rise drastically, so I guess we'd need to do something.

But Iran would be cutting its own throat economically if it cut off the Straits - oil it can't ship isn't going to pay any bills. So let's see what happens.

I think it’s over unless the Houthi in Yemen attack another US ship (cargo ship or navy ship). It doesn’t matter whether the Houthi do it on their own or, yet again, as Iran’s proxy. That might be enough for Trump to drop more heat onto Iran.

Israel already said that they are hopeful this ends in about a week

A week at most. The Mullahs are bugging out to Russia.

This battle will be over soon. But I doubt that it’ll be the end of the war. The regime appears to be holding on in Iran. So they’ll just rebuild.

Until it’s over, how long depends on democrats taking charge of the government and raising the WHITE FLAG of surrender.

When the money dries up, and the people get angry, then the ruling class will flee and the war will end.

With 10 launches per day, maybe six months.

In 2022, U.S. Central Command’s General Kenneth McKenzie stated that Iran possesses “over 3,000” ballistic missiles. This does not include the country’s burgeoning land-attack cruise missile force.

That makes sense, because they are motivated by ideology.

As long as it needs to until Iran completely capitulates and almost all Iranian-born muslims here are deported. Next question?

If the 9th Century pig fornicators in Tehran keep their promise to close the Straight of Hormuz there may very well be a lot more bombs dropped.

My bet is End of September.

I expect the mullahs to attempt to close the Straights of Hormuz by sinking any and all shipping.

I expect all neighboring and remote powers with the ability to project power to continuously bomb all regime targets, especially ballistic missile launchers (Israel) anti-maritime missile launch sites (gulf Arabs), and Iranian navy assets (U.S.). This will take all Summer to get under control.

By the end of September, I expect essentially all of Iran’s ability to project military power beyond their borders will be extinct.

This will be costly. But it will not be hard.

At the end, the mullahs will have no international power at all. No friends. No weapons. No functioning proxies. If they are lucky, they’ll still be alive and in charge of a Stone Aged “nation”. Odds of a successful organic overthrow of the regime I’d rate at 25%. I see no scenario in which anyone invades.

There ya go! My crystal ball is just as good as anyone else’s…

Every time Iran launches a missile, it “flashes” on a screen somewhere in Israel. That information is sent to a loitering fighter or drone. Then the launcher is tracked down and if it is found, it is destroyed.

Iran is not making more launchers.

I imagine that when they are out of launchers, the IRG solders will start flinging rocks in the direction of Tel Aviv.

With us? Sporadically.

With Israel? For the foreseeable future of 2025.
