    Current Status of Iran War

    I get the feeling that Iran has been beaten a lot more than they want to admit. Regimes always try to sound tough and that they are still strong. I think Trump is just waiting them out, not letting them sell oil. It should force Iran to eventually give it up.

    I hope you're right, but you have to remember, these aren't sane people.

      This thread is longer than the war.

        Fox News is reporting Trump says war is over in letter to Congress???? Scroll down a bit to story on right hand side of page.

        A 60-day War Powers Resolution deadline fell Friday, requiring President Donald Trump to either seek congressional authorization or wind down military operations in Iran.

          I saw that earlier. The way I read it is that since it has been 60 days that Congress must approve it now. Trump's opinion is that the war is not going on any more and that Congressional approval is not needed. IMO, Trump knows full well that all of Congress should be in the category of "worst form of human life" that we discussed recently. He doesn't trust them to do anything correctly, and I don't blame him.

        I mean, there's not much left to shoot at. Just keep 'em blockaded till they drown in their own oil.

          Our intelligence has made it easy to hit Iran where it hurts them, while minimizing loss of average citizens. Per Phantoms post: "A senior official from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said any new U.S. military attack on Iran would be met with “long and painful strikes” on American regional positions", a report said. Eventually Iran will be forced to admit they can't do much, and will have to concede. That is my hope of how this will go. If Iran waits so long that they have to shut down wells, apparently those wells will never produce as much after that as they can now. The Iranian leaders are sure enough crazy, so I guess there is no telling how long they will play like they have us under control.

        Iran is going to slowly bleed out.

            I wonder how much shipping UAE can do from there coast line near Fujairah, what their docks situation there is. It seems we could help protect tankers leaving from that area. That would help a lot of countries that need to buy oil and lessen the impact of this situation to other areas. Combine that with them quitting OPEC and the screws would be tightened more on Iran.

              I wonder if Trump is playing the war is over card now so that if/when Iran tries to restart nuclear program he can start bombing again as it would be a “new” military action and he would have another 60 days??

                Phantom, that is exactly how I see it. Trump knows he can't trust the R's either, so he is doing his best to avoid allowing congress to act on it.

              Yes, it restarts the calendar, no matter what they do to provoke more bombs. They theoretically could just keep doing this in 59 day increments.

                Interesting! I see that an Iranian slub was beaten to death by The IRGC because he had a Starlink set up to check on his brother who was shot by the IRGC during the protests, because his brother was unarmed, since the Kurds stole all the guns that Trump tried to supply them with to defend themselves. This pissed Trump off, so he blew up 14 of them in the Northwest sector. As side note the towel heads are now going to use the innocent dolphin, as suicide bombers, to attack ships in the Strait of Whoremongers! Did I miss anything?

                  Trump shuts down the Strait, in essence shutting down Iran's economy (for the most part). Which is clearly working better than any missile or bomb we lobbed at them for 6 weeks. Trump then says the U.S. is going to start escorting ships through the Strait, so Iran allegedly fires a warning shot at a U.S. ship for doing so.

                  If the end goal is to kill Iran financially and closing the Strait seems to be doing exactly that, then what is Trump's motive behind escorting ships through the Strait? On the flip side, if ships passing through the Strait helps Iran economically, then why would Iran fire at a U.S. ship for escorting ships through the Strait?

                  Is Trump at a point that he wants to reduce the price of oil and in essence the price of fuel here in the States? If so, you're going to have to let a lot of ships through the Strait to have any considerable impact, so what's the point of keeping it closed?

                    We'll need to see how this is going to work and how many ships the US can "escort" in a day before any celebration. It is being said this plan does not currently involve U.S. Navy warships physically escorting vessels through the Strait.

                    Another question is how many of these ships attempt to pass without any insurance guarantees if this plan doesn't involve a physical escort?

                    Is this progress or war games....

                    well, tankers moving thru the Strait will help alleviate the global oil price spike...
                    also alot of cargo ships to places like Kuwait, Qatar and others who have helped the US...
                    Trump needs to tell BiBi to send Mossad after whatever leaders Iran has left ( maybe they already are )

                    Other nations ships going through is of no help to Iran, as long as we keep them from being able to ship oil out or bring supplies in, then why shouldn't other nations be able to send their ships through?

                  Iran stays bottled up, other ships get escorted through. If Iran attacks, El Naranja has unlimited time and authority to respond kinetically. No 60 day rule when you are defending yourself.
