Congratulations General Anon,Due to unforeseen complications with cirrhosis in your predecessor you are now the SEC. The SEC Of WAR. Commander in Chief has greenlit a limited ground invasion and tasks you with ensursing a swift, decisive victory in Iran. He doesn't want pesky things like "RoE" or "long-term regime change" holding you back. The objectives are clear: >1. Reduce Iran to either a failed state or force unconditional surrender.>2. Render them permanently incapable of threatening free passage across the Strait by any means possible.How do you go about achieving these objectives with the fewest strains on the American people and limited American assets?
Not possible

That Anon who was participating in the Iran war games a few weeks go, how did it go?

>Give Arab part of Iran with the oil fields as well as the coastline and islands to Iraq>In exchange, Iraq gives up their Kurdish territory along with Iran to form a sovereign state of Kurdistan>Turkey gives up a bit of territory as well, and in exchange the US will support their right to deport their entire Kudish population to Kurdistan and will take responsibility for handling the resulting humanitarian crisis.>Baluchi portion of Iran goes to Pakistan>Azeri portion of Iran goes to Azerbaijan>Turkmen portion of Iran goes to Turkmenistan>There is no longer a unified state of Iran, just Persia for the Persians>If they try to put together an army to contest the division, the US will bomb it>They'll have trouble organizing insurgencies when most of the people in the reassigned territories will be happier not being part of Iran anymore>Without oil money, they won't be able to afford to pay off insurgents in the rest of the middle east>Everyone gets what they want, except for the IRGC, who probably get overthrown for presiding over such a national disaster
>>65030144take all the money that'd be spent on that and invest it in renewable energy, synthetic gas production, vandium redox or iron redox grid batteries and r&d on solid state batteries
>>65030144Why the FUCK do americans care about the strait of hormuz? If it closes, the profits from their oil go UP. This is yet another case of brown people most affected. The ONLY reason it's closed rn is because the islamic republic have no practical aims or goals like a bunch of headless chickens. If the arabs want to sell their oil to bugs and browns, they can open the strait themselves. Where's that indian aircraft carrier? Where's the korean navy?
>>65030299they were told to
>>65030299Americans care because:a) if oil prices go up then all the US's domestic oil producers jack up their own prices because there's less competition and they can get away with itb) all the cheap consumer shit the US imports suddenly gets much less cheapc) all the domestically made US shit that relies on foreign imports suddenly costs a lot more to make, and thus gets less cheapWe live in a global economy. It basically doesn't matter where the goods transiting the strait are going - any disruptions affect global prices for the relevant goods and anything downstream of that good, which in the case of oil and gas is goddamn everything.
>>65030216this is the most communist faggot shit i have ever seen on here. it will MASSIVELY backfire but you commie fucks don't care about that, do you? any step to your perfect world is acceptab- no, virtuous.>>65030322didn't read
destroy every power plant, bridge, water treatment plant, factory, oil pipeline, refinery, and any other pieces of infrastructure that enable a modern life. if they wanna have a bronze age mindset than they can have a bronze age lifestyle to go with it
>>65030144>bomb every single power plant and desalination plant in Iran>if they don't surrender in a week, drop 3 nukes on Teheran>if they're still standing, drop a nuke on every big cityezpz
>>65030329My nigger, globalism won. Comparative advantage is a real thing. Cry about it in the (You)s.
Ground invasion? Easy.The hard part is already done.
>>65030356What does this have to do with my post?
>>65030144As a moderate I believe I would start off with nuclear strikes on Israel, followed by the evacuation of cute and hairy Persian ladies from Tehran before nuking it as well
>>65030493OP here. You are correct

>>65030216>turks giving up land to an independent Kurdistan This would never happen. They would sooner invoke Article 5 to put down the Kurdish insurrection before recognizing their existence.
>>65030359this reads like zigger propaganda
>>65030144>ask cia if we can help iranians overthrow the government by all means neccesary in a somewhat timely manner>if possiblegreat do that>if notget the fuck out of there, cut losses and seek a deal
>>65030144>fewest strains on the American peopleWhy?
>How do you go about achieving these objectives with the fewest strains on the American people and limited American assets?Shoot both the President and VP with my personal gun
>>65031895Unfortunately...
>>65031895
>>65031895No, THIS, reads like zig propaganda, this statement is from an interview with a Bong newspaper about 45 minutes ago>Asked if he would reconsider the US's membership of the alliance after the conflict in the Middle East, Trump said: “Oh yes, I would say [it’s] beyond reconsideration...>“I was never swayed by Nato. I always knew they were a paper tiger, and Putin knows that too, by the way.”
>>65032077>Europe, help me with my retarded war of aggression which I've started for no reason>You're a paper tiger by the wayIs it fluoride in the water? The high fructose corn syrup?
>>65032077>>65032086The majority of burgers voted for this.
>>65032095>americans voted to destroy their sworn enemies instead of surrendering to themUnrronically, yes. The whining and bitching from the peanut gallery was also anticipated.
>>65032149>their sworn enemieslike common sense, decency and goodwill?
>>65032095Actually Trump did NOT win a majority. He won a plurality.
>>65030144I ask for $52b in funding for the operation, give Iran $50b, apologize for my boss being retarded and pocket $2b.
>>65031895Magatards are literally English speaking ziggers
>>65032159How much does Jared get from this?
>>65032170Stop being antisemitic
>>65030144Step 1: Dominate the skies, eliminate any threat to planes above a nice ceiling.Step 2: secure the beaches, ALL the beaches, ONLY the beachesStep 3: import trash by any means possible air or sea or landStep4: just bury IranKalashnikov Jihad will have to climb the 40 foot Garbage Glacier to even get to americans. And just anything, chems, radiactive sludge, shit...
>>65031895crucially, when the US prez says this, it's true. When Putin says this, it's not.Now do you get it?
>>65032186>secure the beachesHow will you protect retards who took the beaches from drones though?
>>65032077Huh, i was wondering what made all my Euro MIC stocks go zooom today
America cannot win a conventional victory over Iran with the current military industrial base. The only remaning cheap solution is nukes, which is what I expect will be used as mega bunker busters after conventional options are utterly exhausted, which will be at least 12 months into the war. Israel will not allow America to do any type of skedaddling as it would leave them up shit creek with neither canoe nor paddle. The necessary political reforms required to enable a conventional victory are not possible within the current american political system. Right now, America has parked itself into a position where China can use Iran to exhaust America like America used Ukraine to exhaust Russia. Euro NATO will be dragged into the Iran war, but it wont help much, as the euro corruptocracies are resource starved industrial dwarfs gimped by green energy that wont add much to Americas bottom line.
>>65030144I embezzle the funds and retire to a secluded place... an island if you will with my friends
>>65032086The idiocracy movie happening in real time
>>65032189The US "prez" said Iran was defeated weeks ago yet he's still crying daily about other countries not helping with his war of aggression against this so called defeated enemy. Sounds exactly like zigger propaganda to me.
>>65032186>airborne drones and fanatical jihadists will be stopped by a small hillockHow does someone from a country with multiple 5000ft+ mountain ranges and a 20 year invasion of Afghanistan under their belt not understand the possibility of climbing or flight
>>65030144being European I let Iran do whatever it wants, let refugees rape my daughters, introduce anti-islamophobia laws and send police round to stop people from defending themselves
>>65030144At this point I wouldn't be surprised if OP is Hegseth himself scrambling to find a strategy.
>>65032341>stupid enough to think Iran becoming a failed state is goodMaybe anon.
Once Air Superiority is established, target all ports, knock out all loading and unloading infrastructure, make the docks unusable.>Destroy land based logistics infrastructure. Rail, bridges, donkey trails. All of them>Obliterate steel, aluminum, and electronics manufacturing facilities. >Strike raw material extraction facilities. >Threaten to destroy powerplants and Hydro-Electric dams. >Free fire on oil and gas pipelines as well as fuel hauling trucksIf they have no raw material, power, or fuel to build shitheeds and missiles, then they cannot build shitheeds and missiles.
>>650301441. Get the Iraqis fucking amped for Iran-Iraq War II by giving them weaponry galore, might need a false flag to get them sandy enough to join in.2. Arm Baloch & Kurd insurgents3. Make it clear to Euro allies that big oil contracts are going to be in the offing, so get in early to get better chances of grabbing a bargain.4. Get token Arab state commitments of force to make it look like a regional effort.5. Maybe tell the Israelis to fuck off, none of the Arabs will want to get involved if the little hats are joining in.All in all it would be well worth it, Persian pussy is fucking prime, but it would take a couple of years to arrange, I think the US has blown its beans too early.
>>65030144Kill power and desal plants all over iran and keep doing so for the next however long it takes. Draft the arab slave class to build a pipeline underfire to bypass iran. Maybe dont be a cunt to the ukes for air defense support.
