Iran’s military command says it’s been informed US plans to resume strikes
Times of Israel ^ | TOI STAFF

Posted on 09/20/2026 7:29:22 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

Iran’s central military command said in a statement on Sunday that it had received information that the United States, with the backing of some regional countries, was preparing to resume military actions against it, state media reported.

The statement said that any US attack would trigger sustained strikes on US bases and interests in the region, warning that regional countries supporting US aggression against Iran would be considered parties to the conflict.

On Saturday, Al Jazeera cited Iran’s security chief Mohsen Rezaei as saying in an interview that Iran had conveyed to mediators its conditions for re-engaging in negotiations aimed at ending the war with the US.

The conditions included ending the war on all fronts, unfreezing Iranian funds and ending the naval blockade, Rezaei said, adding that consultations were continuing with Qatari and Pakistani mediators and that Tehran was awaiting a response from US President Donald Trump.

Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said his country would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until its conditions were met and US commitments implemented.

Saturday saw Trump return to the White House from Camp David after cutting his vacation there short, having originally been scheduled to return on Sunday night.

Tehran vows Hormuz will stay closed, regime won’t negotiate until Trump accepts its conditions — including ending war, unfreezing Iranian funds and removing naval blockade

Fat chance, Mohammed

Democrats and other haters will never admit it, but Trump is a peace monger, as evidenced by this warning.

Face hard reality. Either the mullah regime is deposed or this ends very badly for America. What is accomplished with more strikes if the mullah regime remains in power?

Bridges, dams, and power plants.

Destroy what makes Iran’s economy click.

The Mullahs will be spending the next twenty years rebuilding their infrastructure instead of cobbling together nuclear weapons.

Hopefully Trump will NOT be resuming any strikes until after the election.

No! They need to concentrate on wiping out leadership! The mullahs couldn’t care less if you hit bridges, dams, etc. as long as they are safe and sound in their bunkers. While the Iranian citizens are starving the mullahs are not I assure you.

We should stop blowing money with the precision stuff.

Inundate them w/500lb bombs and Radio Shack drones. We could probably make ballistic missiles cheaper than theirs too.

You are describing total war. This manner of warfare was last waged by the US against Germany and Japan in WW II. Not only were their militaries attacked but their economic and human resources were destroyed. Total victory ensued. Since then the US has waged inconclusive “limited” wars usually with poor military and political outcomes. Highly unlikely that the US will do what is necessary to win in Iran. It seems in particular that we are not very good fighting “asymetrical” wars.

Vice Adm. Brad Cooper announced that CENTCOM forces facilitated these 2,000+ commercial transits by establishing a secure southern corridor and clearing Iranian mines from primary transit lanes.

Shipping volume and oil exports from Gulf partners through the strait reached a six-month high.

Write that down...hmmm. Do you know something no one else knows? Do you have any sources for that or just your opinion? If your opinion, what is that based on? Would just like clarification for another blanket statment.

Tad early, perhaps, given the time difference and flight time.

Thing is, telling them ahead of time also lets them know they are powerless to stop the attacks.

Drop leaflets all over Iran stating that on XXX day all “religious” centers that house Sharia Imams will be leveled. Just don’t go into the buildings.

Then, create some parking lots.

The 90M Persians KNOW that the monsters supporting this regime’ are the Imamas. Take away their symbols of power.
