We've taken out (killed) four layers of their leadership. There is no Iranian government. IRGC took over. They are for all intents and purposes civilian. No, we have not removed their materials but at the same time they have zero access to it. The straight...we have moved (exported) over 750 million barrels of oil while Iran has exported ZERO. If we didn't have control we wouldn't be at $83.40 (as of close of yesterday) we would be in the hundreds. They won't surrender. This is not a political war for them, this is PURELY ideological. Surrounding countries have turned on them.
The regime is more hardline, there is no essential regime change, that was not accomplished and no serious person would suggest it was. They haven't had access to the nuclear material since the initial bombing which makes this war look even dumber as they claimed they were 2 weeks away yet the US did nothing extra to said material since the initial bombing. Your strategic oil reserves are at incredibly low levels not seen for decades, that is also helping with the cost. They have attacked surrounding countries, OMAN is working with them. I am for the US in this war and would like it to be over mind you.
With the exception of taking over Kharg Island and taking out their ports, not taking out their power plants and access bridges, we've accomplish our military mission within the first couple of weeks of decimating every part of their military including their leaders. Don't think for one second we don't have the capability to go In militarily and end this in a day. IRGC, proxies, et all.
what was the mission? no regime change, they still have the nuclear material in IRAN, they have controlled the straight and this thing is costing the US crazy amounts of money and oil (see above). It's a fuck up
And of course you're blaming Trump even though he's given then chance after chance of ending this with diplomacy KNOWING they would go against any form of negotiation.
He gave them a chance after bombing them? ya real swell guy. The MOU is a disaster
You're high and delusional
How, it raised gas prices substantially, is increasing inflation in many places, is costing you guys billions. You are apparently low on missiles
I said it after the first round of attacks because the hits were targeted and strategic. After that, they wanted a war, we gave it to them. They have no leadership, no military, no money
Oh it wasn't a war but became a war when the other side fought back, ok makes sense. Or you were wrong and it was always a war but they didnt' want to call it a war for political reasons and for the fact that it's tech illegal
