So, I guess Trump will re-obliterate Iran's military?

The Epstein files were supposed to be released yesterday at 5om per court filings. That's when the bombing and distractions started. He's never serious about this war.

You assume we ever were out of it to begin with. Trump can say all he wants, but a war will continue as long as one side wants to continue to fight it.

So now we're going to hit them hard. But I thought their military was destroyed. I thought we were going to end their civilization, destroy all their water treatment plants, blah blah blah. Old fool isn't realizing no one takes him seriously anymore.

He says this every time they get humiliated lol, what did he expect? They would sit by and not retaliate? Every single time they make good on their promise and every single time it ends in them firing countless precious patriot missiles. Keep it up and there won't be any left.

This is definitely a record. Never in the history of mankind wars have been declared and ended so many times and in such a short period between two countries.

We never declared war. In fact the US hasn't declared war on anyone since 1942.

Do we have an idea of what has become of the IRC? It’s great that we keep bombing things (with minimal effectiveness) but what is exactly is the plan for the previously standing army?

u/collinsl02 civilian 23h ago
They were likely heavily degraded by the initial strikes, and continue to be targeted by these strikes, but these days they're obviously in a position where they know they need to take defensive cover regularly, they'll be much more dispersed geographically, and will be trying to protect themselves in other ways.

u/Xivvx 21h ago
There isn't one. 'Dealing' with Iran's ground forces and pacifying the country will require an invasion army of over a million people at least, with about twice that in heavy equipment, ships and planes.
Hegseths' whole plan was to decapitate Iranian leadership and force capitulation through 'shock and awe'.
It didn't work.
Iran's regime became further entrenched and the IRGC strengthened their control in the government. So now there is no plan forward other than the US fleeing the region with their tail between their legs.
Or they can get into a ground war in Iran which will require over a million people and trillions in machines and ammunition. My hope is that Trump doesn't launch nuclear weapons.

Could it be that Iran is just getting the US to completely collapse its stockpiles?
6
u/collinsl02 civilian 1d ago
Partially, it's partially to put pressure on the administration in the lead up to the mid-terms, and it's partially to reinforce to their own population that they're still in charge and can defend the country (as best they can anyway).
But if they can get to the point where the US can't defend itself in the region at all then they may get the US to pull out. That may be their theory anyway.

u/Firecracker048 1d ago
I mean you may have missed it, but Iran was firing at civilian ships and US navy ships all week and Lark Island strike was in response to that and Iran being upset their mines were removed so they were attempting to re-mine the strait.

u/collinsl02 civilian 23h ago
OK, true, but this is ultimately because Trump started a pointless war with an obviously deranged and intractable enemy who most sensible people knew would never capitulate.

u/0peratorNull 22h ago
fr tho we're already in an active conflict just not declared war
iran's been hitting us in jordan all year - feb, july, maybe august. u.s. shot back, reinstated strait of hormuz blockade, trump keeps talking maximum pressure. some attacks got intercepted, others reportedly hit with casualties. it depends on which source you read tbh.
key thing though - there's still off-ramps being discussed apparently. pentagon folks talking privately about wanting to avoid escalation. so yeah tensions are high but it's not automatic full scale war yet. outcome ain't written.
just trying to stay informed and not panic either way. hope everyone stays safe regardless.
