Trump said on social media he reached a complete and total resolution with Iran and is pausing hostilities
>>65001840which is it
>>65001850This hurts to read.
>>65001907just like trumps tweets
>>65001850OH THIS IS THE STORY OF THE HURRI-CANE...
>>65001840>>65001850The neat thing about the Trump regime is thier ability to speak out of both sides of thier mouths, and both are the most retarded think you'll hear before the next news cycle.
>>65001948Based Bob Dylan enjoyer.
>>65001840He said it will be paused for 5 days, which coincidentally ends after stock market closes this week.
>>65001850Kek
>>65001840No, he said he was holding off on hitting the power and gas infrastructure. He also said nothing about talking specifically to the IRGC or what passes for the Iranian government; I've seen speculation that it's fine-print for talks with the Shah and his people, since they really need that infrastructure to stave off famine if they somehow manage to take power. That said, I wouldn't get my heart set on any one interpretation, however. Between constant negotiation-by-tweet, bluster, and well, what can just be summed up as "it's just Trump", there's not much telling what the actual diplomatic situation is like.
>>65003607why would you even speak with the pretender? he hasn't any power or followers in Iran.sure the diaspora may like him but they are as relevant to this entire thing than some random Brazilian
>>65003607Is the IRGC even unified? My impression was that elements started hitting the rest of the gulf states because high command didn't exist anymore.
I can't read the future, bilut not having your MEU chilling with your carrier battle groups before hostilities broke means this is some seat of the pants bullshit. They didn't plan on using ground forces at all means what ever the original plan was didn't work and their original goals have not been achieved. This has all the signs of a grade A cluster fuck.
>>65003760>This has all the signs of a grade A cluster fuck.Kek, THAT'S the part tipping you of?Not stocking up the SOR ahead of running the oil price skyhigh? Or sending your only mineclearing ships half across the world right beforehand?
>>65003607>>65003630Israeli media claimed that negotiations were held with Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of the parliament, some time later Mohsen Rezaee, one of the old guard and strogmen in the IRGC promptly issued a statement that the war will continue and there will be no negotiations even if means they have to kill Ghalibaf. so take it for what its worth I guess.
>>65001761>WE ARENT SENDING GROUND TROOPS CHUD STOP NOOTICINGEglin shills wrong once agaijn
>>65001850
>>65003835>>65001850Posting on 4chan wont save you.
>>65003790>Not stocking up the SOR ahead of running the oil price skyhigh?He tried, congress only gave him enough for a million barrels. >Or sending your only mineclearing ships half across the world right beforehand?They werent moved, they were retired with the decision being made in 2019. They were removed from theater last year. There are LCS's currently configured for mine-warfare, they are being held in the Indo-Pacific because you dont send minesweeps into an a high-threat environment. So, its not that there is a lack of planning or preparation. Its that you're extremely poorly informed, likely as you are brown.
>>65003851eglin shills will be drafted to iran and droned.
This whole operation has the distinct feeling of a student desparately trying to pull an all nighter to get an assignment finished the day before it's due after realizing the minimum word count was 5,000 and not 500.I think the only branch that's getting clear orders and objectives is the USAF (i.e. "drop a million JDAMs on Iranian militar targets") but even then gets getting warped with POTUS putting out strange things like "We will bomb all of Iran's power plants in 48 hours" to "on second thought no we won't" which were almost certainly not in the original mission (otherwise they would have been struck day 1 as part of a broader strategic campaign).
>>65003876>POTUS putting out strange things like "We will bomb all of Iran's power plants in 48 hours" to "on second thought no we won't"Nothing strange about it. Problem is that you're brown.
>>65003870>Maybe at some unforeseeable point in the future we will be able to do to the Americans what they have been doing to us for three weeks lol we're in the fanfic stage of the copium.
>>65003879He may be brown, but only a slave like you hears his master shout insane gibberish and nods along like it's the wisdom of the ancients.
>>65003880>we arent going to war>its not a war its a special combat operation>it ll only last 4 hours, 4 days, 4 weeks, till november>we won>CHINA; EUROPE; NATO; ANYONE HELP>The strait is open dare to brave cross it>No american casualties, okay it was just a friendly fire/technical failure/mutiny>we arent sending boots on the ground>no they havent blown up our THAAD>we didnt need it anyway>okay they could shoot at the f35 but the pilot managed to eject so its fine, its not like we hyped its capabilities for years>we arent sending ground troops>only karg island, ignore the troops movementYou are here>okay we sent ground troops but only special forces and only the island>okay they were hit by drones but stop laughing i could continue but youll get the point when you go there eglin
>>65003893>more fanfic.
>>65003893>>okay they could shoot at the f35 but the pilot managed to eject so its fine, its not like we hyped its capabilities for yearsF-35 landed and considering that we are bombing Iran with total impunity and Iraq managed to shoot down 70+ aircraft I would say yes: the F-35 is pretty fucking hype.
>>65003869They clearly planned on this being a quick operation and didn’t have a plan B if it didn’t go perfectly. It looks unlikely that they’ll be able to accomplish what they want without a ground campaign and we’re not at all prepared to carry one out. And the longer it takes to get ready, and the longer it gets drawn out, the worse it is for the economy.
>>65003893>i could continueYes, we know you will regardless of reality and banning.
>>65003895>more pilpullshttps://edition.cnn.com/2026/03/18/politics/us-ford-carrier-fire-iran-war
>>65003902>Irans greatest moment in this war is that a fire broke out in a laundry room on a carrier
>>65003899The economy is already fugged, but it's going to take months for the secondary effects to filter through. It will take weeks to restore full production at some of those gulf refineries from cold shutdowns.Gas prices are immediate, but inflation linked to rising costs for transport (fuel for trucks, aircraft), food (fertilizer), and manufacturing (plastics). And will probably kick in around about 5-6 months, just in time for the mid-termsIt'll be a spectacular own goal, high inflation was a big part of why the Biden administration lost the elections. Causing an inflationary crisis right before a crucial election is what most political analysts might refer to as "painfully fucking retarded"
>>65003879Him being brown doesn't deny that this whole operation is retard because of Trump.>barely any preparation.>only 2 and later 3 carriers. >didn't bring friends (Israel is 51st state. They don't count)>mistakenly thinking they can archive almost impossible objective (regime change) with minimal effort (just bombing. No boots on ground)>got panicked and distracted by trivial thing (rising oil price) and then make everything even worse (relief the oil sanction for Russia and Iran)This war was hard carried by F-35 and F-15. But in the end, it doesn't matter when people on top are blubbering idiot who only care about themselves.
>>65003908>Carrier has a leakage and needs to go back to crete>carrier catches a fire and has to go back to crete>shootng down your own planes>bla bla blafailures on par with chinksectoids ramming their own ships or whatever the russian airdefense doing
>>65003917>>barely any preparation.We've been preparing for a looong time. >>only 2 and later 3 carriers.Do we need more? >>didn't bring friendsDo we need friends? >>mistakenly thinking they can archive almost impossible objective (regime change) with minimal effort (just bombing. No boots on ground)I'd say its a little too soon to be saying that. >>got panicked and distracted by trivial thing (rising oil price) and then make everything even worse (relief the oil sanction for Russia and Iran)I'm sorry we took the global economy into account.
>>65003919>Your carrier that has been on operations for 255 days (second longest in US history) has mechanical issues and the Kuwaiti's shot down two of your planes >so this is tremendously embarrasing The fact that Kuwait has shot down more US aircraft than Iran is what's embarrassing, for (you). Shameful, utterly shameful to be so totally defenseless.
>>65001840He clarified in an interview that Kushner talked to "a top guy" after Iran counterclaimed "there have been no negotiations".
>>65003607Me? I personally think the shah of Iran was great as the final season's antagonist.
>>65003898If the F35 was hype and indeed landed and was fine, pictures would have released of it by now too help hype up resilient of a design it is to help sell them. This hasn't happened to it's likely the plane was fucked or even that they are lying and the pilot punched out of it over friendly airspace. Either way it's not a good look especially amongst Israeli jets getting shot down as well
>>65004106Ease it with copium.
>>65001850Imagine dying on a battlefield after reading all this shit, knowing this is what you're fighting for. This is why you died.
>>65001840fun fact: he lied
>>65004106>This hasn't happened to it's likely the plane was fucked or even that they are lying and the pilot punched out of it over friendly airspace.Per Centcom, the pilot was injured. But the explosion was behind the aircraft.
