As the War that “Will be over in a week or two” enters it’s 3rd Month, How much longer will US troops be there?

[schmidlap]

They admitted they had enough nuclear material to be close to producing 11 nukes.

That was well known

Iran was nowhere close to a nuclear bomb, experts say​

​

You f-ing BELIEVE them??? They've lied about EVERYTHING.
How dumb are you?
Seriously.
Just how goddam dumb are you?

Not so dumb that I'd believe them or Trump.

What credible evidence do you have that Iran was violating its agreement not to develop nuclear weapons?

What does the IAEA say?

IAEA says no evidence Iran is building a nuclear bomb, but concerns remain​

March 3, 2026​

Iran has the same potential to build a nuclear bomb it had before Trump and Bibi started bombing it.

Says who? Trump obliterated them last year..

Iran admits to having 460 kg of 60% enriched uranium

Like what we had before Trump?

Before Trump nothing was stopping Iran from developing nukes or ICBMs

Bullshit. Trump is trying to get out now.

We just put another aircraft carrier there. The blockade is not going anywhere.
Italy wants to help lift Iran's blockade, other countries should be joining.

 

[kyzr]

There is no credible evidence that Iran was weeks away from developing nuclear weapons and ICBMs.
"Insisting they commit to not developing them"?
Iran had committed to not developing them. Trump cancelled the agreement.

Nearly 10 years ago, the United States and other world powers reached a landmark nuclear agreement with Iran...​

Two years after the deal went into effect, Trump withdrew the U.S. from the nuclear accord, in one of the most significant foreign policy actions during his first term as president.​

Iran launched missiles with a 3,000 mile range at Diego Garcia, very close to the "ICBM" range of 3,400 miles.
Trump canceled the JCPOA because Iran was cheating on it, thousands of centrifuges and 460 kg of 60% enriched proved it.
This article confirms that Iran was "weeks away" from nuclear weapons capability:

Iran's Nuclear Timetable: The Weapon Potential | Iran Watch

How quickly could Iran get enough fissile material for a small nuclear arsenal? This timetable estimates how quickly Iran could amass enough weapons-grade uranium for five bombs. Once it has the enriched uranium, however, it could take at least several months to turn it into a working weapon...

www.iranwatch.org

Summary​

Iran’s nuclear program has reached the point at which Iran might be able to enrich enough uranium for five fission weapons within about one week and enough for eight weapons in less than two weeks. For that uranium to pose a nuclear weapon threat, however, it would have to be processed further into weapon components. Also, the other parts of a successful weapon would have to be ready to receive the uranium. Fabricating these other components could be done in parallel with uranium enrichment and could take place on a laboratory scale, which would make them difficult to detect.

When will the quagmire be over?
As of April 25, 2026, there is no definitive end date for the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran.

Trump has extended the ceasefire indefinitely, while negotiations remain stalled and a U.S. naval blockade continues. While earlier projections suggested a quick resolution, officials are now engaging in long-term pressure tactics.

The Energy and Food Starvation Psy Op has already been successful for Deep State .
Extending it to end May would be extremely successful, and any time later would be super successful.

The beauty of it so far is that the Munchers actually believe that it is a real war with America which will only really have the effect of raising diesel /gas prices for awhile with some possible more general inflation .
But next week . Not right now .
.
They have no inkling of its longer term consequences .

It's shaping up to be bigger and better than the Fake Covid Psy Op .
Nice one ,Sheeple Herders .

In her opening statement to a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on March 25 about the Intelligence Community’s 2025 Annual Threat Assessment, the director of national intelligence stated, “The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003."​

​

Neither the IAEA, nor any intelligence service, had found that Iran was developing nuclear weapons when Trump and Bibi started their bombing, although its nuclear materials had made it "weeks away" from developing one for years.

Daryl G. Kimball, Executive Director of the Arms Control Association (ACA) said the Intelligence Community and independent experts like his group “generally estimate it would still take Iran several more months to craft a crude nuclear device. It would take longer to assemble a smaller, lighter nuclear device that would be delivered on a ballistic missile.”​

The excuse for bombing Iran, if true, was a colossal, costly failure, because it still has its nuclear materials and that potential.

1. Its 2026, not 2025. Your IC assessment is out of date.
2. Iran's thousands of centrifuges and 460 kg of 60% enriched uranium prove that they are/were developing nuclear weapons.
3. The IAEA did not have access to Iran...ever. They have no credibility.
4. We'll soon see if Iran keeps its highly enriched nuclear uranium, or not.

You have not cited your sources, if any, that assessed Iran's having reactivated its nuclear weapons program at any time. If Iran's now being allowed to retain its nuclear materials and developmental potential does not concern you, that does not suggest an imminent threat that justifies the current international plight instigated by Trump's and Bibi's bombing. Trump had lied about that as well: "They've agreed to give us back the nuclear dust," Trump said, referring to enriched uranium.

I had already documented Iran's long-standing potential to develop nuclear weapons.

Where is the intelligence assessment that it had reactivated nuclear weapons development when Trump and Bibi started bombing it?

Where does that long-standing potential stand now as the same regime remains in power, and in possession of its nuclear materials stockpile?

Why do you enrich 460 kg of 60% uranium if not to develop nuclear weapons.

Witkoff offered Iran FREE FUEL if they committed to forego developing nuclear weapons, Iran said NO.

“The 60% material, Sean, can be brought to 90%, that’s weapons-grade, in roughly one week, maybe 10 days at the outside. The 20% can be brought to weapons-grade inside of three to four weeks.”
“They were proud of it,” Witkoff went on. “They were proud that they had evaded all sorts of oversight protocols to get to a place where they could deliver 11 nuclear bombs.”

Witkoff also claimed that he and Kushner, on behalf of the US, offered to provide Iran nuclear fuel for the next decade on the condition it was not used for any weapons program.
“They rejected that, which told us at that very moment that they had no — no notion of doing anything other than retaining enrichment for the purpose of weaponizing.”

There is no evidence that Iran had re-instituted its nuclear weapons program that had long ago achieved the potential of developing nuclear weapons in a short span of time, and, as previously noted, the

Arms Control Association (ACA) said the Intelligence Community and independent experts like his group “generally estimate it would still take Iran several more months to craft a crude nuclear device. It would take longer to assemble a smaller, lighter nuclear device that would be delivered on a ballistic missile.”​

There was no imminent threat from Iran when Trump and Bibi started bombing and killing Iranians, and destabilizing the Middle East, wreaking havoc with the global economy.

Where is the alleged urgency now to seize Iran's nuclear materials?

If you refuse to see that Iran was enriching uranium to develop nuclear weapons I can't make you see it.

From my link above:
“The 60% material, Sean, can be brought to 90%, that’s weapons-grade, in roughly one week, maybe 10 days at the outside. The 20% can be brought to weapons-grade inside of three to four weeks.”

There was an "imminent threat" of nuclear weapons, your own post says "several months", and that is from a June of 2025 article, so its outdated. The urgency is that Iran can't be trusted, period. Trump is right to deny Iran nuclear weapons.

You haven't answered why you want Iran to have nuclear weapons?

You still refuse to admit that no intelligence service had indicated that Iran had revived its nuclear weapons program when Trump and Bibi started killing Iranians.

It had developed that potential years ago, and the theocratic authoritarian regime still in power is being allowed to maintain that allegedly "imminent" potential.

Trump's Pearl Harbor-stye "little excursion" has been badly bungled, and most folks have no difficulty admitting that.

It remains unclear when and how the Iran War will end, but what is clear is that the conflict is still unpopular. As of today, net support for the war is at -15.2 in the Silver Bulletin average. Some of the most recent polls on the war — such as those from The Economist/YouGov (net - 27) and Reuters/Ipsos (-24) — are even more dire.​

There are a lot of other potential uses for HEU, including fuel for compact nuclear reactors. Do you have any proves that there is a nuclear weapons program?

The fact that they are enriching uranium to prepare for nuclear weapons is proof enough.
Iran doesn't need compact reactors when the US offered it free fuel, Iran wants nuclear weapons.

What Are Iran’s Nuclear and Missile Capabilities? | Council on Foreign Relations

Iran’s nuclear program and missile arsenal have garnered increased international scrutiny. A joint U.S.-Israeli military campaign launched in early 2026 seeks to destroy Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure.

www.cfr.org

Many foreign policy experts warn that a nuclear-armed Iran would destabilize the Middle East and nearby regions. A first-order concern is that Iran’s possession of nuclear weapons would pose a major, perhaps existential, threat to Israel—a worry that drove Israel to launch a full-scale attack on Iran’s nuclear and military facilities in June 2025 and another larger, joint attack with the United States in February 2026.
