Al Jazeera ^ | 07/08/26 | Staff

Posted on 07/07/2026 5:54:40 PM PDT by doc maverick

“The US launches “powerful strikes” against Iran after attacks on three ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, including Qatari and Saudi Arabian tankers. Iranian media reports that explosions have been heard in the Iranian port city of Sirik, in Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Island. The US also revokes a waiver that allowed Iran to sell oil under an interim peace agreement signed between Washington and Tehran on June 17.“

Maybe the ceasefire will be over OFFICIALLY………sooner than later. The psychmullahs will NEVER STOP stirring up trouble. Negotiations with them mean NOTHING.

Same old targets. BDA must be pretty bleak.

Maybe it’s just me, but these don’t sound like the same targets.

It’s all a figment of your imagination!!! I was told repeatedly Trump would ***NEVER*** bomb Iran again before November because elections and stuff.

I know it *has* to be imaginary, because I was proved wrong over and over and over in my assertion that aggressive acts by Iran would be met in kind. And I learned my lesson!!!

Oh. Wait.

No, President Trump will stand down after a little show. He doesn't have the will to do what he said he would do.

"American officials told Reuters and AP that the U.S. is attacking air defense systems in Iran, coastal tracking systems, surface-to-air missiles, anti-ship cruise missiles, drone launch sites and Iranian port facilities. According to them, the attacks are expected to continue for hours."

How many times did the Eighth Air Force have to go back and bomb places like Berlin, or Schwinefurt or the Fifth Air Force had to go back and hit Tokyo or Kokura?

It’s not like you’d want to look them up on Lonely Planet for traveling purposes.

This is like whack a mole basically..every few weeks Iran sends missiles to the Strait in order to bring up oil prices, Trump hits back, then its quiet for a few days, oil prices go down, then after a week or so, Iran does it all over again..Iran wants oil prices to go up to hurt Trump in the midterms, Trump wants the oil prices to go down in order to help him in the midterms. Like I said before, ALL of this was avoidable had Trump just finished the job in the beginning instead of taking some really bad advice from someone(Not sure who) and ending this in April when they could have gone another month and finished off this regime and left

I suppose he is trying to focus on an improving economy until the midterms. I don't think anyone takes him at his public word any more though. What you see is what you get.

And what, pray tell, does ‘finish’ mean?

Explain how many boots on the ground it takes and for how long, and where in the past 70 years we have an example to point to where that has worked for us.

Trump clearly isn’t doing what you want. You’ve made that repeatedly clear. But just saying, “he should have finished it,” isn’t a description of what he *should* have done. Show us all you know what your talking about and lay it out in at least a little detail for us.

Bring in a few thousand Kurds and take Kharg Island. The Kurds are already causing big problems in the interior of Iran for the IRGC!! Use the Kurds, who we armed, to end this problem once and for all.

“The revoked waiver, which was listed on the Treasury Department’s website, said the move was effective immediately and said that any production, delivery or sale of Iranian oil must be wound down by July 17. The waiver originally allowed such sales through Aug. 21.” 1.

Trump and allies should set up a program where the Strait must remain open and the cost of ANY AND ALL damages inflicted upon shipping by Iran will be 100% covered by IRANIAN IMPOUNDED FUNDS. This would stiffen the spines of the shipping insurers and reinsurers. And IRANIANS UNDERSTAND MONEY, do not want to lose it and will punish (i.e., kill) those who cause the loss. And the ones causing the loss are the IRGC.

I’m posting this in every thread where the absence of such MONETARY DAMAGES ASSESSMENT is partially responsible for the situation.

And, yes, we could both bomb Iran (and/or take other actions) and do this at the same time.

“Let us not forget that we have “Imam-fection” here also.”
Yes, and those enemy combatants (including US Islamocommies) would love to take Trump out along with any other MAGA members. If they strike here, it’s a full fledged war.
There will be concentration camps full of Imam-fectioners waiting to either be deported or stored in GItmo!
