And sadly, Obama gave Iran cash so that they could enrich their uranium and eventually have a nuclear weapon.

But don't worry, Trump is fixing Obama's mess.
By giving them more money and less oversight if reports are to be believed.

Oh, and no sanctions. And the ability to freely sell oil.

And control of Hormuz.

More money and less oversight? Is that what CNN is telling you?

Despite what CNN tells you, Obama's JCPOA was a terrible deal. It gave tons of cash to Iran to develop their nuclear program and fund terrorism. And the inspections were a joke. The nearby Arab states hated the deal and are thrilled to see Trump's new deal.

Trump is cleaning up Obama's mess.
Obama released a total of $1.7 billion in frozen Iranian funds to the Iranians. You refer to that as a "ton of cash."
Trump is releasing either $24 or $25 billion in frozen Iranian funds to the Iranians. What term would you use to describe THAT?

Iran had enriched uranium that was approaching weapons grade levels that can be used to develop nuclear weapons.

Apparently, CNN didn't tell you that.
Although the numbers are often closely protected, at least 22 nations have stockpiles of highly enriched uranium, according to Gemini.

so let me ask a question...if you're planning a war, what targets do you go after first? Resources in theater are limited....so you can't do everything at the same time, and not that you would.

Remember who makes the decisions/approves the concept of operations, decides to accept or reject ceasefire etc. You can blame the military, but the final decisions belong to the civilian authorities. There is no doubt in my mind that had the order been given to take the strait we could have done it. Now you can debate it, but there is little that Iran could do to stop our military.

Now equate the Iran war with desert storm....Powell was clear, overwhelming power and force...we did not do that in Iran...we could, but we didn't. Trump decided to end the military campaign in favor of an economic one..the blockade.

The military starts with objectives...and the objective is not general "win the war. Objectives are much more precise. I'll equate Iran to Vietnam...you might be too young...the military achieved every objective assigned...the war was lost, not because of military capability, but because the politicians could no longer take the heat at home. I'm not certain that didn't happen here as well.

I can't argue/debate things that didn't happen. I know our capabilities. It's clear to me that taking the strait was not an assigned objective
You honestly don’t think securing the strait was an assigned objective? It is literally the only bargaining chip that Iran has. The conundrum for Trump (not the military) was that to take and hold the strait would require not just a substantial ground force but a prolonged (5-10 year) presence.

Your pontificating about COA a&w is meaningless. This wasn’t a military operation, it was a political one that was doomed from the start. There was a reason no other presidents took a bite of that apple, but someone went legacy hunting.

@Sullivan since I only do CNN spin, I wanted to follow up on the below questions so you can help me figure out what is really going on.
Can you give me an example of the D's begging for the US to send ground troops? And you are correct that I am assuming we'd need to send troops. Are you saying that isn't true and we just aren't opening the strait because we like it being choked? Assume its like a kink or something?

You just told us they are buried and Iran can’t use them? And if the latter is true, we won’t give them any access to funds at all in the future agreement, yes?

Who is this source? Name them. Yesterday, y'all just new every detail of the agreement, even though nothing has been released. Y'all, 100% knew, Trump had already agreed to Iran's 10 point plan. Every lib on here was wrong. Not one of you have an ounce of honesty.

Next, yesterday, y'all specifically stated, we were paying $300 billion to Iran. Lmao at how many of you can't get past your Trump hate and think straight. That money would come from Arab states, not America. But, y'all just knew. Blue sky is not your friend.

she might want to wait to see the agreement. From lastest reports the money is not coming from the US but from the Gulf States....

I don't know what the answer is either, but people assuming things that they don't know .....

I can remember the days when MTG posts were ridiculed by folks on the left. Now she's become the "darling"...what a little anti trump behavior can bring.
Don't present them with actual facts, they do not care. They are enraged. The meltdown is a wonderful thing to see. They are like petulant children blowing in the wind with unnamed sources.

Had a decent executive been commander in chief in 2025-26, the time to act was DURING the popular uprising. And with a PLAN to assist anti-regime dissidents seize power. Unfortunately, we have a clown with a clown show cabinet instead - which is why Iran despite getting pummeled and bruised, achieved many of its strategic goals and the U.S. achieved none.
Lmao, are you absolutely clueless regarding the military. Biden was months late getting military help available for the Spring Offensive in Ukraine. Trump had a full military convey at the doorstep of Iran in 14 days. Sit down pup.

You are making your point, its just not the counter point to what people are saying. No one is arguing we couldn't take the strait. We are arguing that getting into this conflict without that being a part of the objective was folly. I understand that it would likely take a ground force which would be messy, have different political ramifications, etc. Which is again, the point. We shouldn't be in this conflict in the first place, and this is the reason others haven't gotten in to it. Without clarifying your own point again, do you understand my point? I have acknowledged yours repeatedly in this chain, please acknowledge mine.
and I'm trying to respond to your point....and obviously not succeeding. How do you know that controlling the strait was not part of the overall plan? Why would they have ordered ground troops into the area? I'm trying to tell you that 1. there was a plan to take control of the strait ..at least according to multiple retired generals and admirals who served in either the joint staff or service staff. 2. the strait was most likely an objective, but not any of those in the first segment of the war..for the reasons I gave.

I don't know what else to say. If you want to believe that taking control of the strait first should have been part of the plan. I can't say anything that would change your mind. I have never seen or heard, short of some special ops things, where a major ground force would attempt a land breach without removing as much of the defenses as possible first. That's about the best I can do. Maybe one of the other former military guys can do a better job of explaining.
Shot at by who? I thought the military was totally destroyed
then you are mistaken.. Trump specifically said he left the army alone.....

Again, WHERE DO YOU THINK THE "GULF STATES" ARE GETTING THIS $300 billion from?
You really cannot be this ignorant. The Gulf States are sitting on $6 trillion in capital. Get a clue. You act like a simple check is going to be cut upfront. It isn't, and you actually believe we're paying it. Lmao.

I guess I am saying I am not sure what objective we have been trying to achieve that will be achieved by any scenario that leaves Iran their largest piece of leverage in any negotiation.

What objectives does it appear we have successfully completed? At a macro level, not a "we wanted to blow up x, y, and z and we did".

It's fascinating how we go through this back and forth when none of us knows what's in the MOU....but we're certain of our positions...

The Iranians will be rich, if they comply with Trump's orders of giving up their nuclear program, allow for inspections, opening the strait, etc.

well thank you..that' what I have been saying...maybe coming from someone else will help it's acceptance...this was political..

Who said that securing the strait was not an objective...not me. I have said or tried to say, that it was not one of the primary military targets. I also said that you'd need ground troops, but would need to take out defenses, capabilities to reinforce etc before introducing ground troops. Somehow it just seems to me that what people are saying is that the strait should have been higher up on the objectives list...OK, I can accept that opinion, but it's not what I would have done.

What does the science say about your obsession with trannies?

And what do the trannies you’re absolutely pathologically obsessed with have to do with the situation in Iran?
Funny you should aks.

Iran is a pioneer in troonsurgeries because of their religious belief that homosexuality is an affront to Allah.

They buckled down and started cutting off healthy tissues so that their "god" wouldn't be mad about two dudes puffin' each others' Peters. Their "logic" is that, if you mutilate one of the dudez then, suddenly, it's back to a heterosexual relationship.

Yes, sure, it seems barbaric. But these are normal people who simply believe Mengele was a one of our preeminent doctors.

I know you won't respond - I assume I'm on ignore so if anyone else wants to pose this to ned, I'd appreciate it.

Let's analyze this post.

1. There WAS a plan to control the strait. (useless as that would be)

2. That would require "removing as much of the [Iranian] defenses as possible first".

3. Trump specifically said he left the army alone.....

Ummm...whut? We had a plan to take the strait that would be preceded by taking out their defenses while "specifically" leaving their army alone??? That's an odd "plan."

What about the lie that the jcpoa was a bad deal?
Trump wishes he could have that deal back.

Are you really 90? I dont want to argue with you and cause elder abuse.
No, I'm 90. Facts. No Navy, no Air Force, well over 80% of all defense capabilities wiped out, 84% of all missiles wiped out. 95% of all control and command communication wiped out. 5-6 layers, from the Supreme Leader to military leadership wiped out. But hey, Iran is winning. Lmao. If we had done that on D-Day, you'd be celebrating. You simply are disingenuous and hate Trump.
