Do not get so upset. I am not alleging I do not believe you. I merely noted that, apart from yourself, the anecdote has, at least so far, not been corroborated.
I agree. We started out strong and fully in control, but now Iran is getting back into the game. Evidently we underestimated their desire to reach a fair deal with minimal damage. I say pound them hard for another 2 weeks targeting everything that can weaken their economy. I also think we should pave a way to enter the strait and take full control of it. I think Trump is trying to fight nice for the optics, but it will not resolve this conflict. Strategically, Iran really is just a pawn in the international chess game. If we capture it we will improve our overall position. Or do we want that pawn supporting our bigger enemies?
To Iran.
Jebus.

Ahout 20000 reasons why I agree with current policyIt’s easy to shit on plans of your political rivals without providing an adequate alternative option. Americans aren’t exactly thrilled with this “plan”.
Americans Broadly Disapprove of U.S. Military Action in Iran
Most Americans say striking Iran was the wrong decision and disapprove of Trump's handling of the conflict, with stark partisan divides.
Few Americans approve of Trump's handling of Iran
Twice as many Americans oppose the war in Iran as support it. Support for the war has changed little since just after it began in early March.
Personally, I think Trump is doing great on the subject. Iran wants a deal badly and Trump keeps on putting them off - AKA - using Iran's very own strategy against them, stringing it out and stringing it out and stringing it out. Eventually, Iran will crack and start the war back up and then Trump can say we are only defending ourselves when he bombs the living shit out of them again. And, if Iran continues attacks on their gulf neighbors, those neighbors may join in on our fight against Iran, with several of them signing the Abraham Accords. Meanwhile, Israel is elminating Hezbollah during Trump's stringing it out.

I thought Iran was an immediate existential threat to Israel, why are they Gazafying Lebanon?
Boy are you stupid. Iran backs and finances Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Oh is that the line of argument you were attempting to make?
If this costs the House and Senate in the midterms, then it is not worth it. Republicans do not have forever like Progressives do. Their time is limited to do the work needed. For we keep moving leftward as the Democrats keep moving in the same direction. It is difficult enough to get some of the legislation passed with Republicans.
Boy are you stupid. Iran backs and finances Hezbollah in Lebanon. You weren't at the head of your class, were you?
Iran has been needing taking out for a very long time. I'm actually proud of the "No New Wars" Trump for caring more about the future of the US than about short term political gain. But, yes, this may very well hurt Republican chances in the midterms. While that sucks, Iran was a very severe long term threat to the entire world. The stronger they get the harder to take them out later and no one else would have had the balls to do it.
