Denial is not a river but many die hard Trump supporters on FR, in denial that is... Either get this war won and over or tuck tail and leave. How Trump is handling this is embarrassing.

It makes sense to just stick to the blockade and squeeze the IGRC financially for now and then hopefully the Immortal Guard will be armed and ready to challenge the weakened IGRC forces. I am also sure that Trump is stalling as well for U.S. Naval ships that are currently on the way along with replenishing current weapons stock. In the mean time you can bet the current IGRC leaders are being tracked for future strikes as well. This is not over and won’t be until the IGRC is completely removed because the IGRC will never agree to anything and are just dragging it out in hopes of getting cash and weapons from China and Russia, which the blockade along with the freezing of Iran’s banking accounts is making impossible. This makes sense as Trump does not want to unnecessarily take out essential infrastructure since the new Iranian government will need it. So both the IGRC and the U.S. are dragging out the ceasefire for strategic reasons but only the U.S. is actually being successful. Everyone needs to chill and have a little faith in America’s ability to successfully execute the plan to ensure Iran NEVER gets nuclear weapons. If we don’t we are dooming our ourselves and our children to a nuclear holocaust as soon as they do.

I’m saying the link above which I said “fake news,” which states that Trump has extended the cease fire indefinitely is fake news, because obviously, the IRGC Navy Sepa has just fired on a container cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman, which is a breach of the cease fire and a violation of international law. Furthermore, Tousi has made it known that the IRGC has rejected any cease fire extension agreement, and is infighting over who is in charge of Iran.

Trump has stated, per Tousi, that he will continue to blockade Iran, and in the interim will not engage in further hostilities, which somehow some damned wire service has interpreted as an indefinite extension of the cease fire, which it is not, and A7 has taken that narrative up at the same time as it’s reporting the Sepa attack on the cargo ship, which is nonsensical.

. . . .just dragging it out in hopes of getting cash and weapons from China and Russia, which the blockade along with the freezing of Iran’s banking accounts is making impossible. . . .

If I understand the geography right, Russia or Russian control counties are on the northern part of Iran. I maybe wrong about this but it's possible that Russia might be bringing in arms from Iran's back door per say.

The IRGC are apocalyptic Twelvers, identical to the Ayatollahs. As such the IRGC does care how many common Iranians die. IRGC controls and is funded by Iran’s oil profits. Our blockade denies IRGC the money needed to run their operations.
So starve them out! The IRGC fundamentalist psychos

Tousi says that maintaining the blockade is more damaging to the theocrats than any volume of missiles, bombs and drones could ever be. I fully concur with your and his analysis.

Trump just has to stall until May 1 when war powers runs out. Congress will end this thing and he can spend 6 months telling us he had Iran right where he wanted them and the dummies in congress prevented him from getting a deal.

I would like that to be true. But Tousi has a way of being less a reporter and more a cheerleader. Here’s to hoping he’s right this time.🤞🤞
