“Trump tells aides he is willing to end Iran war without reopening Hormuz”

Trump's blunder has shown Iran that they have the power to charge ships that go through the Gulf. I read they charge a million a ship. That is a new and huge source of revenue for Iran.
They control the Strait just as General Caine advised Trump they'd do. Trump thought he was "smarter than the generals" and believed the Iranian regime would collapse and "nothing bad would happen, only good can happen". As usual, he was wrong. Now he's looking for the exit.

I'm sure Netanyahu had a hand in convincing Trump it was a great idea to start a war with Iran.
 

“Trump tells aides he is willing to end Iran war without reopening Hormuz, WSJ reports”​

US President Donald Trump told aides he is willing to end the military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed and leave a complex operation to reopen it for a later date, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing administration officials.”

“The report mentions that Trump's first option remains to open the Strait by negotiating an ending of the war with the Iranian regime, while a second option would be to demand that its allies, especially the Gulf States and NATO, lead the operations to reopen the Strait.”


Trump must be getting nervous about the Market again, now he’s got to predict a short war to ease tensions

If victory for Iran is to survive the onslaught regardless the cost, obvious they knew they’d be bombed back to the Stone Age and lose their navy/Air Force, and still maintain the ability to directly affect the world economy, who wins the war if Iran achieved their objective?

This war gets more bewildering by the day if not hour. Americans used to go to war with an idea of what they were fighting for, but now, those designs seem to change daily, and then change again.
Tomorrow it will be a whole new position with Crazy Trump
 
if the straits are closed no oil gets through.

And show us you can think this thru and tell us what that does to world gasoline prices?

Yes it may hurt China more, but who do you think can take more pain before wanting to quit, China or the US people?
 
The operation ends when Iran is no longer a threat....

So a complete occupation and running of the country by the US? As you cannot stop iran being a threat any more than you can stop Afghanistan being a threat. Even when militarily defeated they will stay be a threat via unconventional war play as Afghanistan taught the US by providing a base to Al Qaeda.

More realistic is that Trump will claim success and pull all US support, despite the fact a younger and more radical regime took over, and you magats will clap like seals.
 
The wealthy can make money by betting on the market going up or down. If they have knowledge of what Trump is going to do, they can make big bucks 100 percent safely. Before Trump's big attack, someone dropped half a billion on a drop.
Well His sons invested in a DRONE company so I am sure they are making a lot of money . I wonder if he did too.
 
Trump made clear he trusts Putin more than our intelligence services, it's very possible Trump will take the word of Netanyahu over the advice of JD Vance and the Joint Chiefs.
Trump is "unwell". He sees and believes whatever he wants to believe. It's not 4D chess nor a "weave". It's just a delusional old man with his finger on the nuclear button.
 
And show us you can think this thru and tell us what that does to world gasoline prices?

don't care because we have all ours in our own hemisphere.

they can deal with Iran.

our boys are staying home.
Yes it may hurt China more, but who do you think can take more pain before wanting to quit, China or the US people?
we have more resources and fertile land.

they will starve first.

bring it.
