US lawmakers see no Trump plan for Iran following strikes

‘The United States has yet to spell out a "day-after" strategy for Iran following joint U.S.-Israeli strikes that killed much of the country's leadership, lawmakers from both major political parties said on Sunday.
[...]
The strategy Trump has publicly outlined so far hinges largely on the hope that the Iranian people will rise up and determine their own future after decades of repression.’

Trump is an ignoramus and a fool – the Iranian people aren’t going to ‘rise up.’

Here’s why:

“The Real Reason Relates to the Largely Unknown Security Measures That the Regime Preemptively Activated the Moment That Israel’s Operations Started.
[…]
As Israel took control of Iranian airspace, the Iranian Interior Ministry’s National Security Council gave orders to the IRGC operational-security military headquarters to neutralize any gathering that could lead to protests.”

Why Don’t the Iranian People Rise Up?

Iran is demanding it but it has not been paid.

Iran says a lot of things but the US has not released $20 billion to the ayatollahs.

This is a good example of why generals should never make policy. As we have just seen, if the Strait is opened through negotiations, the ayatollahs still have the option to close it again. The only way to take that option away from them is to take access to the coast away from them, and the US can do this by declaring a several miles deep no go zone along the coast in which the US would bomb and destroy any Iranian government presence, especially any fuel storage tanks, so the remnants of the Iranian navy cannot refuel and therefore cannot remain active in closing the Strat.

Trump needs to stop all this ceasefire and negotiation nonsense, and just take what we need from Iran and in this case what the US needs is to deny the ayatollahs' regime access to the coast.

That's the problem with Democrats, they never see anything but the next election. It makes one wonder if they only run for office because they can't get decent jobs in the private sector.
President Trump has been perfectly clear about the goals are. First, to destroy Iran's military capabilities so it will no longer be a threat to other countries in the ME or to commerce in the Gulf, and second, to hunt down and destroy the remnants of the current regime that is ruling the Iranian people. If the Iranian people find the courage to rise up against their oppressors, the President is clear that the US will support them, and in the worst case in which the regime survives, President Trump will leave them with the same warning he issued in June, if they try to rebuild the US will blow them up again.

Anyone who says he doesn't understand what the plan is is clearly lying.

I've been wondering what the plan is ever since the war began. I understand what you mean, and the outcome you're referring to—destroying their military and nuclear capabilities and ousting the regime—would be nice! But for me, that's not a plan, it's a wish. A plan implies strategies, case scenarios, and so on. You ask your generals what will happen if you do this or that. We bomb Tehran, what happens then, General? They'll close the Strait of Hormuz, first thing. And then the plan comes into play, what you've actually planned for in that specific case. And somehow, I don't see a real strategy here. Or what's the plan after the almost certain closure of the Strait of Hormuz?
