They going to keep these hostages there 24/7?

“Iran's terrorist regime has called on women and children to stand around power plants, on roads, and on railway lines in Iran and be used as human shields!

While Mojtaba the leader has not shown himself since the start of the war, his agents hide in schools and hospitals, and he conceals himself behind the women and children standing on the front lines.

But there is no cause for surprise—this is the very regime of terror and repression in Iran.

A regime whose hands are stained with blood and which places no value on human lives.”

 

They were warned, now they die.

Not following through on this war and getting complete regime change including a new constitution more or less reflecting 1969 Iran with females being educated and allowed to vote and getting forfeiture of all nuclear material and infrastructure  for producing nuclear material and long range offensive weapons and not gaining acknowlegement they will not fund terrorism  and will recognize right of free and unincumbured passage of shipping through the Hormuz straight will make Iran far more powerful than they were when this all began.    Stopping or impeaching, or otherwise removing Trump must not now come at the cost of allowing Iran the victory of us walking away from this without accomplishment.  Go on ahead and remove Trump through impeachment, though please do not make the mistake of declaring deliberate damage to infrastructure a defacto and absolute war crime as the future ramifications thereof would be catastrophic.  Get rid of Trump, but rally the world to get behind Vance to finish the job absolutely.  Iran needs to be removed from the world stage in its current iteration.  We should, however, welcome and celebrate the birth/metamorphisis of Persia 7.0.

I don’t know I think if we send them maybe one more plane full of cash maybe now they’ll cooperate

Why didn’t people try to stop the destruction of Aleppo, Syria?

[Tree of Knowledge]

End Iran threat and get out of NATO on the same day would be YUGE.  

[Engorgeous George]

Seeing some Video of the human shields.  Can't help noticing that the regime still has resources for flags and banners.  I saw one Iranian flag /banner that had to be 200 yards long.    I don't know what that means, but It was noticeable.

 

I also take note that the current regine has no qualms about launching missles into civilian areas of Israel as a war tactic.  For them to then use human shields and to condem civilian casualties as a war crime  seems inconsistent.  I don't believe they can hide behind a principle they eschew.  Now whether that should excuse our behavior I don't know, though I think we should rethink matters.  Instead of bombing the production plants we should shift to bombing unshielded transmission lines and distribution junctions, same outcome but no casualties.  And Dear Mister President, when you are pissed about leaks because they may alert what is to come, close your own damn mouth!  You are the biggest leaker.  You invited the immoral regime to use human shields you dolt!

Not a word from the Trump voters.  No one can support this behavior.

What more needs to be said? I'm all in on this. Been saying it since the beginning.

Scrub Iran off the planet.

Why, every time you liberal dopes start another thread do you need to hear the same thing over and over from us smart people? You all refuse to listen to logic.

From NYT:

Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska added to the emerging chorus of Republican unease with President Trump’s rhetoric on Iran, warning in a social media post against the kind of sweeping language that has defined the administration’s recent threats.

While reaffirming that Iran’s government must be held accountable, she said the language “cannot be excused away as an attempt to gain leverage in negotiations with Iran.”

[cyclone24]

The left is far more concerned with Trump’s words than they are the hundreds killed by Iran that were Americans or the thousands of their own people they have killed. That doesn’t bother them. Trump uses a word they don’t like and that’s the most important thing.
 

Heck, we have people here you can’t even convince iran was a threat. That’s how far gone they are.

If the word means he is talking about destroying "a whole civilization" of a nation, then, yes, we do tend to take that seriously and think that it is the most important thing.

Language being the primarly tool of politicians it is concerning that Trump uses it carelessly.  I get that there are some who would intentiaonally misconstrue whatever he says, but don't invite controversy by not thinking before speaking if you are the President and the Commander in Chief of a Counry that initiated, or escalated (depending on your historic time sense of provocations) an armed conflict impacting a volitile region of the world.

To them somehow this is worse than Joe mumbling in front of the same leaders. They think that’s strong and Trump is weak. That’s just how they think.

The most important thing is that the world will survive Trump's term in office one way or another and we that remain will have to find our way forward.  Will that way be with a revitalized Iran who has called our bluff, withstood our "justice", defied us, and has strengthened its leadership position in the region, or will it be one where a new Iran (Persia) joins /rejoins the West and uses its prosperity to enrich the lifes of its people and humanity as a whole?  Getting Trump, securing power to the Democrats who have contributed mightily to the Iran problem the last 47 years is not high on my list of concerns and neither, of course, is stroking the ego of a narcissist.  Those players change, they serve themselves and their buddies.  Me, I worry about serving the interests of my children and grandchildren.

Trump needs to be mindful that his power to wage unilateral conflict without the authorization of Congress ends soon.  He is on the clock.

So liberals want to stop stripping Iran of their ability to cause terrorism throughout the world. 

Wow. They really hate America. 

[Gepetto]

We attacked Iran and allowed Israel to murder their leader all because Steve Witkoff interpreted Iran's negotiations as not serious yet Trump just yaps with sensationalism and unclarity to Iran constantly. I'm really sick of him and this unnecessary war he started.

Also Trump said we obliterated Iran's nuclear capability back in Summer 2025 yet goes to war Feb 2026 because of the scary nukes!!!!

They want to keep talking it out and do a little appeasement like giving them millions upon millions of dollars. And then they’re shocked that it doesn’t work. 
 

But I agree with you I don’t think they really like it here.

You know what is just so emblematic of this administration...Trump posts that all hell is going to break loose at 8PM, but he didn't say in what time zone.  Seriously, WTF?

[squistion]

From NYT:

An Iranian military spokesman warned on Tuesday that if President Trump followed through on his threats of crippling attacks on Iran, the Iranian military would target infrastructure of the United States and its allies in ways that could deprive them of access to the region’s oil and gas for years.

The warning came as the spokesman described a new wave of missile and drone strikes across the region, including U.S.-linked sites in the Persian Gulf, petrochemical facilities in Saudi Arabia tied to American companies, and multiple locations in Israel.

Hmm that type of capability might be viewed as an imminent threat
