Trump update of Iran War status
Truth Social ^ | April 8, 2026 | President Trump

Posted on 04/09/2026 3:26:51 AM PDT by McGruff

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

All U.S. Ships, Aircraft, and Military Personnel, with additional Ammunition, Weaponry, and anything else that is appropriate and necessary for the lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded Enemy, will remain in place in, and around, Iran, until such time as the REAL AGREEMENT reached is fully complied with. If for any reason it is not, which is highly unlikely, then the “Shootin’ Starts,” bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before. It was agreed, a long time ago, and despite all of the fake rhetoric to the contrary - NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS and, the Strait of Hormuz WILL BE OPEN & SAFE. In the meantime our great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest. AMERICA IS BACK!

For all the pearl clutching freepers and zeepers, do you feel embarrassed yet for believing the LSM 10-point plan reports that was based on literally fake news from Nigeria as opposed to what the actual negotiations were?

You all got taken in by the Nigerian prince it seems.

I don’t care. I have TDS and am stompy foot mad at anything he does because it’s either too much or not fast enough. Now I’m going to hold my breath - you’ll be sorry. You’ll all be sorry!

Trump is not crazy. He’s pragmatic.

Iran has been the world’s greatest sponsor of terror since 1979. Hundreds (perhaps thousands) of American lives have been lost because of Iran’s death cult (Shia Islam).

The Iranian death cult is also committed to starting nuclear WWIII so the Mahdi will appear from the well in Qom. We were able to confound their nuclear ☢️ program up to now. Obama tried paying them off!?!

Perhaps Trump counted the cost and found Iran was too close to their goal? Whatever the case, God has used him (and Israel) to wipe out the same people calling for the destruction of America and Israel since 1979. God has a sense of humor indeed!!

Trump is not crazy. He’s pragmatic.

He stepped in it now by claiming “ our next conquest”.

Liberal heads are exploding as I type.

A cease fire is actually a plus for the US and Israel.

It gives us a stand down to catch up and chance to rest and regroup.

More importantly, it gives us a chance to asses damage, prioritize targets plus it gets the IRGC out of their holes so we can locate and target them .

The loss of the F-15 and the very costly rescue rescue mission seems to have led our decision makers to add more longer range stand off missiles into the mix and those need to get mobilized and shipped.

The Israelis have honed this cease fire hudna whack a mole game to perfection.

Taking a look at Iran proxy Hamas, there is not a lot of optimism for good faith deal but it's worth a try.

We ran out of targets.

Using a tree as an analogy , if I chop enough of it through will it fall on it’s own when the wind blows?

The damage done to leaders and to infrastructure may have been enough so that the normal winds and strains of a nation will cause it to fall.

What we have done may be enough for change and it may be wise to wait and see.

“This is not how you fight a real war..”

Throw a call into SecWar. I’m sure he can find an hour or two on his calendar so you can tell him how to do it right.

I still doubt that there will be any negotiation, and if there is, don't expect the Iranian regime to honor a word of it, for they are not to be trusted to be trutful or honest in their negotiations, but they will say aand agree to aanything that allows them to remain & restart their goals p the job must be finished, as the reime must be removed. That is the only way there will be true regime change and a better nation rises out of the rubble.

Sorry, but that is the reality.

The loss of the F-15 and the very costly rescue rescue mission....

Plus, the necessary precision dance of bombing run, pilot rest, hardware maintenance, reload, bombing run, was partially disrupted by the rescue mission.

Better to wait a few days to sort out your ducks and get them lined up.

Yup. Interestingly, there are hints that the reason we lost the two C-130s was because the first C-130 used up all it's fuel to refuel the search helos and A-10s and may have opted to land . The second C-130 was perhaps sent in to refuel the first one and they both got stuck so perhaps we are reinforcing our CSAR forces as well.

Yep - he, and Hegseth and Caine have made it clear that peace is contingent on Iran’s actions - and their quick renege on opening the strait because Israel responded to attacks from Lebanon - and probably saved Lebanon from being taken over by Hezbollah with the attack.

Iran seems suicidal...

The 10 points quoted in the NYSlimes and CNN was from a fake news site in Nigera, that was what many here were all referring to yesterday when they got the vapors.

Now you are informed enough to understand

Reason they conducted this little crap show like they did was to avoid going before Congress and the Public as they knew they would lose that battle.

Is this before or after the White House rolled back Trump’s comments yesterday?
