Captain Crazy blows up the leadership from Iran and that Iranians need to take control of the leadership.. what if they can't? What if the current administration is holds up in a few places to stop an overthrow of the current government?

BREAKING: President Trump confirms Iran’s air defense, Air Force, Navy, and leadership are GONE

“They want to talk. I said ‘Too Late!’”

47 TAKES NO BS ����

BREAKING: In a DEVASTATING moment for Iran, the IDF has just struck the Supreme Council Gathering where Iranians were meeting to select a NEW Supreme Leader

BOOM! That was fast! ����

OOOF

BREAKING: Six American soldiers have been killed, and many more have been critically injured, for no reason whatsoever, other than the POTUS is a psychotic moron who's trying to distract his voters away from his many, many crimes.

Also killed for no reason whatsoever: 148 Iranian students.

More blood on trump's hands, with more to come.

Sad.

BREAKING: President Trump announces that effective IMMEDIATELY, the US Navy will escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran threatens to close it

“No matter what, the United States will ensure the FREE FLOW of ENERGY to the WORLD. The United States' ECONOMIC and MILITARY MIGHT is the GREATEST ON EARTH — More actions to come.”

So, is Trumpybear saying he's going to have our navy escort tankers carrying energy resources that are bound for India and China?

Say it ain't so, Bam. That's not very
America first.

Neither is firing gold at plastic

BREAKING: Israel just struck the Assembly of Experts building in Qom.

This is not a military target. This is the 88-member clerical body constitutionally responsible for selecting Iran’s next Supreme Leader. Reports indicate the building was hit while members were casting ballots to choose Khamenei’s successor.

Read that again. They bombed the election.

Not the military. Not the nuclear programme. Not the IRGC command structure. The constitutional process for selecting the one person who could theoretically unify the regime, negotiate on its behalf, and sign a ceasefire.

Three days ago I wrote that the market’s four-week timeline depends on a negotiated ending. A negotiated ending requires a counterparty. A counterparty requires a legitimate leader. A legitimate leader requires a selection process. That selection process was happening inside the building that just got hit with heavy-tonnage bombs.

Follow the chain.

The Supreme Leader is dead. His replacement Defense Minister is dead. The acting replacement is reportedly dead. The only mediator in the region, Oman, is being bombed by the regime it was trying to help. The IRGC has fragmented into indiscriminate retaliation. And now the 88 clerics tasked with reconstituting legitimate authority have had their building destroyed mid-vote.

Every link in the chain that leads from “war” to “ceasefire” to “de-escalation” to “insurance reinstatement” has been severed. Not by accident. By design. The US-Israeli targeting doctrine is not just degrading Iran’s military capability. It is systematically destroying the institutional architecture required for the war to end through negotiation.

Reinsurers do not reinstate coverage into a regime that cannot reconstitute its own leadership. The actuarial blockade timeline just extended again.

There is no one to negotiate with. And now there is no process to produce one.

IDF didn’t just cut the head off the snake, they chopped the snake to pieces and made a nice stew.

To the tune of Barbara Ann... let's replay this Vince Vance and the Valiants 1980 parody song.

There seem to be several different ideas floating around in this thread. Is there a single claim or policy point tying them together? I’m trying to figure out what the main argument is.

Thousands of US citizens are currently stranded with targets on their backs all throughout the Middle East, and have no way of leaving.

All thanks to trump and his complete incompetence.

America First? What the fuck does that even mean?

I wish I was making this up, but it's real: this is the actual official recording made by the US government for any US citizens calling for help while currently stranded in the Middle East (just to give you an idea of how much forethought trump and gang of losers put into dropping these bombs).

Trump today reiterates that his goal is ending the nuclear threat in Iran. The next regime is up to the Iranians.
Anyone here think the next regime will be anything other than the next ruthless radical? Probably from within the existing regime?

It's hard to imagine any replacement regime being more radical or ruthless than the one we are now bombing into oblivion.

I'm struggling with your logic - are you saying we shouldn't seek to eliminate the nuclear threat from the current regime because any replacement regime is guaranteed to pose the same nuclear threat?
