My biggest fear.

Bombing more things is an option we have. My concern is it will only make Iran's leadership more intransigent.

With no drinking water they won't be "intransigent" very long.

So you're thinking the US will do something equivalent to a siege. Kinda like starving them or as you say cut off their supply of potable water. Maybe.

Oddball, lol while you have the insight of a child don't use dogs to express yourself. Most are smarter than you as it is. Use a rock as that better fits your person and lack of thought. Have a great day if that is possible in your world.

Three more ships struck in the Persian Gulf as Iran warns of oil prices hitting $200​

Three more foreign ships were struck in the Persian Gulf overnight, authorities said, as attacks intensify on vessels sailing through or near the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

The latest incidents come after three separate vessels sustained damage in Gulf waters on Wednesday and as Iran warns oil prices could climb to $200 a barrel.

A container ship was struck by an unknown projectile about 35 nautical miles north of Jebel Ali, a major port city near Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) center said on Thursday. The incident caused a small fire onboard, and all crew were reported to be safe.

Earlier, two foreign oil tankers were left ablaze in Iraqi waters after having been struck near the port Umm Qasr, near the city of Basra.

The latest incidents in or near the Strait of Hormuz come shortly after Iran warned the world to prepare for $200 oil prices.

Air power, both missile strikes and bombing from planes, is a devastating weapon. Especially now with the guided munitions we possess. But there are limits to what air power can achieve.

There has been reporting suggesting the convicted criminal who raped E. Jean Carroll is considering sending US troops in to Iran to take their enriched uranium. Though the goals of the war have shifted so many times no one knows what the regime may do next.

At this moment the question for the world's economies rests on Iran's control of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. We've all heard 20% of the world's oil passes through it. Until Iran's blockade ends oil will continue to go higher. Perhaps much higher.

The man who stole money from a charity has threatened to bomb Iran in to oblivion unless it allows oil tankers and cargo ships through the strait. I'm not sure they are in the mood to listen.

Strikes on Iran Damage Cultural Heritage Sites, Infuriating Iranians​

Revered cultural icons that have withstood the upheavals of history are being hit hard in the war being waged by Israel and the United States.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/world/middleeast/iran-heritage-sites-damaged.html

Will this leave the man who had an adulterous, sexual affair with a porn star feeling he has no other option but to send troops in to Iran, not to get the uranium but to stop the blockade? What are the implications for the long term control of the strait? Pandora's box is open. What comes next may be worse than it is now. I sincerely hope it isn't.

My biggest fear is Bibi imposes the Samson Option. He obviously has blackmail material on Dumb Don and could use the threat of nuclear attack, or tell Don you must invade Iran using American troops. Don being Don might fold under Zionist pressure from within his Zionist infected administration, leading to lots of American and Iranian casualties.

This would be an even greater disaster than what has so far transpired.

I hope not. That is an extreme option.
Iran needs someone with a practical side to say "lets end this war and live to fight another day"

Or, the CIA kills the leader again until we get to the leader we want.

 

[Auld Phart]

I can't blame trump devotees who choose to shut out reality. After all, this spectacularly failed government being in power is collectively their fault.

The Theocracy part gets in the way of just peacefully selling oil and rugs to the planet.

It is bizarre.

All Iran has to do is stop pursuing a nuke and stop threatening ships and sell focking oil.

What would they do if they did not happen to have evolved on land that happens to have a very useful natural resource?

If we or Israel keep killing the leaders the chances of getting someone we want likely is diminished.

The images of renowned historic sites shattered by missiles has left many Iranians enraged. In interviews and in posts on social media, some are asking how a war waged by Israel and the United States supposedly against the Islamic republic’s government and military has ended up damaging their cultural identity and sites.

“For me, ancient monuments are as important as human lives, because they connect me to my past,” Mojtaba Najafi, a prominent Iranian scholar and researcher, said in one post. “And their destruction means my memory is being demolished.”

What should Iran do?

You do not have to go back to 3000 BC, just go back to WWII when they sided with Germany and the Soviet Union.

Be specific. Do not post a 1 sentence smart alec quip.

You seem to know alot, so lay out the specific course Iran should have taken.

Oil is now at $94 a barrel dipshit, AFTER the IEA announced it would release 400MM barrels of oil.

Iran's "totally destroyed" military was able to hit SIX freighters yesterday. German U Boat crews in WW2 would be in awe.

The clown is just trying out scenarios that will never occur in an effort to claim we need boots on the ground so that they can then lower the faith of those who support the elimination of the Mullahs from the world.

Just point and laugh at him like I do.

 

[AntonToo]

What should Iran do?

Trump's demand was regime change. He and Israelis were looking for uprising from opposition.

Did we achieve that? No. Are there any prospects for us to achieve that without actual forces on the ground? No.

Claims that this had something to do with eminent nuclear threat are straight bs excuses by degenerate liars in this admin.

So overall, what did we gain from putting yet another stain on American brand, introducing more volatility in the markets, helping Russia to billions in oil revenues, and shitting all over international law yet again? Right about NOTHING.

We won't put boots on the ground.
Just bomb them into submission, then put "sneakers" on the ground to track if we need to "mow the grass" again in the future.

You live in a fantasy land.

Trump and Republicans can't politically sustain prolonged economic volatility these active hostilities are causing.

Far more likely outcome is Trump agreeing to ceasefire without achieving much of anything to start reversing economic damage as we approach mid-term election...all while declaring UUUGE VICTORY of course.
