The source added that all of the drones had been intercepted by the US military before they pose a threat to commercial or US military ships and personnel.

They won’t get any of their money if they can’t keep the children under control.
This likely indicates that there are rogue elements that pay no attention to the now top leadership. This means that once the midterms are over... we will have every justification to pound the living crap out of them. As always, the Kabuki theater is a necessary evil in any foreign policy initiative.
“Rogue elements”????
You are just providing excuses for your enemy.
This approach is called “appeasement”.
Linkie no workie.
Just as well, since the headline is false.
Asymmetric wars are a biotch. The asymmetric guy has all the time in the world. All they have to do is harass every once in a while and stay out of sight. The symmetric guy, however, does not have all the time in the world, and the longer it goes on the worse it gets.
And in this case the asymmetric guy has hundreds of mountain hideouts from which to harass, and all the symmetric guy can do is take it out on the general population that doesn’t live in the mountains and has nothing to do with it.

“ Iran has fired drones at commercial ships in Hormuz strait since MoU’s signing, source tells ‘Post’”
I said, “we will have every justification to pound the living crap out of them” Somehow that does not seem like appeasement, but because of political reality President Trump does have to keep one eye on the midterms.
What all the TDS children around here lack is patience, 47 years of every other President kicking the can down the road, means that it is going to take more than a few weeks of pinpoint bombing and even sending most of their senior leadership to hell in the first 30 seconds... to meet all of the objectives that are hoped to be accomplished.
My suggestion to you is to take a few deep breaths and then thank God that we finally have a President who was willing to do what was necessary to stop Iran in their tracks. The job will be completed when the time is right. Until then you are going to have to put on your big boy pants.
What is likely happening, and there might be rogue elements, is that the IRGC is fractured into three. The government bureaucrats, the hardliner military, and the clerics.
I tend to think that Trump picked on of the factions, not the hardliners, and declared them the defacto government and the others are angry.
More likely these are rogue local military units and there isn’t much command-and-control nationwide.

Exactly
Yes, lots of fractures and disorganized local military units
Let’s make sure to get th8s right in both directions. There are certainly going to be these rogue or not fully under control elements. But Iran’s leadership has to be the place where the buck stops, nonetheless. But it’s also likely some of these are going to ‘slip through’ with a wink and a nod. That’s doubly why the buck has to stop with leadership. So as negotiations continue, Trump has to make clear, “if you can’t or won’t stop them, we will.” That’s how the game must be played.
Slap em down hard each time they f up. Harder each time. F those spineless “legislators”.
Trump has all the time in the world?
Why “rogue”?
They have been planning for this since 1979.
The West has been kicking the can down the road since 1979.
