Despite intensified diplomatic messaging, both sides have warned they will retaliate if attacked again, leaving the region in a highly unstable standoff where deterrence and escalation risks remain tightly intertwined.

I like it. Let Israel be the bad cop. Israel could be the one to finish them off and they should do the honors. The other gulf states won't object as Bibi won't be constrained by them like Trump has been by them as well as the left here. Make it look like Trump 'tried'. Then see what happens. This way the job is more likely to be completed.

That would mean no saving face element involved. We’ve softened them up enough for the kill and will not be responsible for what Bibi does.

Trump’s foolish, impulsive and incomplete involvement in this Iranian mess is a disaster for the American people and the American nation. The demonic Democrats will ride the backlash to power in ‘26 and ‘28. Any “deal” with this medieval mullah regime is worthless and will not repair the political damage to the Republican Party. The only real solution was regime change. Trump let the mullahs off the hook when they were on the verge of collapsing and the IRGC was cowering in schools and mosques. Now they are rearming and resurgent.

Just what you’d expect Bibi’s puppet to say.

Any agreement that leaves IRGC in power simply guarantees another worse war. I have to assume that Trump knows this, his negotiations are intended to buy time. The blockade has them in a headlock they can’t escape, and I hope they are working behind the scenes to engineer a revolution backed by the national army.

Anyway, that’s what I hope is happening.

Israel will someday not need us anymore. It’s got plenty of energy and nukes. This helps speed up that day and all the anti-semites will have to come up with something else to complain about.

Israel can probably handle this by themselves.
We can concentrate on keeping the oil tankers safe.

Agree completely.

I think this is Trump untying Israel's hands.

There you go. We set the table for them. Houtis, Hezbolah will be small potatoes for them.

“Regime Change” does not necessarily mean an upgrade. If that was the goal, then an occupation would have had to been contemplated. I do not see that being good for the region or for the U.S. interests, not to mention the unavoidable casualties of those who happen to live in Iran. The political will is not there even if it were a good idea, which it is not.

By 2030, both major parties will be firmly antisemitic.

Trump is blowing it. He’s letting the mullahs off the hook. Israel is right.

It’s sounding more and more like it already is. If that’s going to be the case, they should keep any land they get their forces into as a buffer.

Israel is the front line against islamic terror.

People would have different opinions if the missiles and bus bombs were going off in DC.

Hot mess over there, we really stepped in it. Somewhere there are such COP Trump worshippers who have lost the plot. Our guy seems to care more about appeasing the WWE/UFC gym bros than the average folks, and getting caught up in dumb domestic squabbles over the LA mayoral race and ballrooms. Squandering his second term. I supported Trump because he was a utility for the movement; well, right now, he has limited utility to me.
