No problem, just finish the regime off. they will run out of stooges wiling to die for them soon.

You don't remember the Iran/Iraq war?

Iran-Iraq War | Causes, Summary, Casualties, Chemical Weapons, Dates, & Facts | Britannica

The Iran-Iraq War (1980–88) was a prolonged military conflict between Iran and Iraq. Estimates of total casualties range from one million to twice that number. Fighting was ended by a 1988 ceasefire, though the resumption of normal diplomatic relations and the withdrawal of troops did not take...

The number of casualties was enormous
The number killed on both sides was perhaps 500,000, with Iran suffering the greatest losses.

 

[Mac-7]

One leader and many members of the old regime were killed. They have a new leader presumably as bad as the last. What's the plan for getting them all gone?

Its been way more than just one leader killed

The plan is for the people of iran to take back their country

The plan is for the people of iran to take back their country

You seeing any signs of that happening? Was it ever a realistic expectation high enough to create this level of chaos over? What's the plan if they don't?

 

[ThisIsMe]

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), known as the Iran nuclear deal, is a 2015 agreement between Iran and the P5+1 (USA, UK, France, China, Russia, plus Germany) and the EU to ensure a peaceful nuclear program. Iran agreed to restrict uranium enrichment and allow inspections in exchange for sanctions relief.

I think I detect some snark in your comment.

The JCPOA would have simply delayed, but not prevented, Irans nuclear ambitions.

If they would have even abided by the deal in the first place.

But hey, “USA is evil!”, so let’s get out of Iran and let them do….whatever they want to do.

The JCPOA was like the deal we had with North Korea.
It placed them under international IAEA control and inspection.

Could they cheat? Of course they could. BUT you can't cheat on a massive scale.
They would always remain years, if not decades, from a nuclear weapon.

We are spending a FORTUNE

The cost of EVERYTHING is going to go through the roof

And why??

Iran’s Choice of Leader Signals Defiance as War Rattles Markets​

Top clerics selected Mojtaba Khamenei to succeed his slain father, despite President Trump’s warning that he was “unacceptable.” Oil prices surged to their highest levels since the pandemic, reflecting growing alarm over a prolonged war.

I'm shocked, shocked I say that Iran didn't do as Don told them to. As, apparently, Don must be. Are they not paying attention? How dare they! After all, god saved him from that bullet so he could rule the world..........or at least the US. Ooooops, wrong god.

trump must be incredulous over the snub. He's accustomed to being able to convince his followers of almost anything. Like the other day, he said, "If oil goes up, oil goes up." And it has, gasoline along with it.

U.S. Gasoline Prices, Rising Again, Are Now Up 17% Since Conflict Started​

The price of gasoline in the United States jumped again on Monday as the war in the Middle East entered its 10th day.

The average price of U.S. gasoline reached $3.48 a gallon, according to data from the AAA motor club. That is a nearly 17 percent increase since the first U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran on Feb. 28. Gas hasn’t been at these levels since 2024.

The price of oil jumped above $100 on Monday after attacks intensified, and Iran said it was firing more missiles toward Israel in response to expanding U.S.-Israeli attacks.

The suddenly rising energy costs — everything from jet fuel to diesel for trucks and tractors is more expensive — are rooted in the supply of crude oil coming from the Persian Gulf. The tankers that normally carry oil out of the region are not sailing, cutting the world off from about one-fifth of its oil supply.

He doesn't mind energy prices are soaring and he expects other people not to mind either. IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?

"Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY! President DJT."

US President Donald Trump says oil price spike on Iran war a ‘small price to pay’ | FXStreet

US President Donald Trump said that the rise in oil prices is a "very small price to pay" for defeating Iran and to ensure world peace, the Telegraph reported on Sunday.

Wait. I thought the nuclear threat had been annihilated last summer? Oh well, never mind that. That was then. This is now. Now Don has told you what to think. He has told you if you don't agree with him then you're a fool. And of course no one wants to be a fool. Therefore, being upset about paying more at the pump, or the billions spent to get essentially the same leadership of Iran as they had, or the confusion about why we needed to take out the nuclear program we already took out, or the fact that there was no imminent threat to the US, or wondering what the ******* plan is now, none of that is allowed. Or you're a fool. Don has decreed it.

Doing nothing was the wrong way to go. We should have done something a long time ago but Obama negotiated with Iran by giving them billions of dollars delivered right to their door and agreeing to let Iran develop balastic missiles in order to cary nuclear warheads 10 years down the road (assuming Iran actually honored the agreement.

No, I just made the case why we should never have allowed anyone else to get nuclear technology. We should have them aimed at every national capital on earth, including our own.

Starting from record lows. If this keeps up, in another year, we might be back to Bidenesque levels when Americans paid more than DOUBLE at the pump. And all over a war that is only a week old.

Gas hasn’t been at these levels since 2024.

Wasn't Joe Biden president then?

BTW, Ace, do you know WHY those tankers are not sailing? Because the insurance companies that normally insure them against loss, most of which come out of the UK, have pulled their insurance. If not for that, oil would still be flowing out through the Strait.

The theocratic fascists that rule Iran are a pack of rabid dogs. There is no point in negotiating with him.They simply need to be put down.

 

[Doc7505]

Nope. Unless you are suggesting Iran has the capacity to conquer the world.

<~~~~~~~~~~>​

The point is they can certainly screw it up, not necessarily conquer the world.
Although their migration to Europe may certain foul up European society.
Case in point is the UK...

 

[Clipper]

We won't be fooled again. China and Russia will hide him and try and assure a counter group if the U.S and Israel free the Iranian people but let us hope freedom prevails. All of G-ds children deserve to be free, not oppressed as central systems are apt to do...

Trump cares more about covering up for child rapsts, sex traffickers, money launderers & degenerates named in the Epstein files then he does or ever will about the people of Iran.

Trump is worried about saving the ass of one person. His own.

Maybe you didn't know that a lot of our nuclear research , that allowed us to make a bomb, came from the work of German scientists. The Germans beat us to the jet engine, guided rockets, and much more.

I am well aware of that; as I am aware that we offered them very lucrative deals to forget their Nazi indoctrination after the war. The problem was that once in our hands we allowed that technology to slip through our fingers and into other hands… one way or another.

Science can't be patented.
The only reason we got to the bomb first, is that the NAZI hatred of Jews, drove their best scientists to our shores.

"Jewish Physics" (Deutsche Physik): A pseudo-scientific term pushed by German Nobel laureates Philipp Lenard and Johannes Stark to discredit theoretical physics (such as Einstein's relativity) and promote a nationalist approach to science, which ultimately crippled German nuclear advancements.

You’re right, I’m not denying any of that. However, it can (and should have been) hidden. Locked away somewhere that even 99.8% of the government didn’t know about it.
