Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?
- Thread starter Sybertiger
- Start date
This guy is practically a MAGA spokesperson, and he’s gathered his 6 remaining free brain cells to ask some uncomfortable questions …
Fars news agency, citing an informed source, said on Monday the draft memorandum recognizes Iranian-Omani authority over the future management of navigation services in the Strait of Hormuz, adding that Tehran only agreed to allow free passage for 60 days and plans to collect revenues for security, navigation, environmental and insurance services after this period. On Sunday, Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said Iran will have to charge for services provided in the Strait of Hormuz.
LOL
There’s no fucking “Deal”, it’s just a temporary ceasefire (that Israel has already breached)

Our Greatest Ally 
Interim Summary:
1. Trump came out a loser
2. Due to the deliberate and focused pressure from the two little Jews, Witkoff and Kushner, whom Qatar bought for a lot of money and who sold out their brothers in Israel.
3. And with the assistance of Vice President Vance, the lowlife.
4. And with the encouragement and pleading of the Gulf midget states who are afraid of their own shadow and volunteered to pay billions to the Iranians - just so the quiet returns.
5. So we're left alone.
And we'll win alone
Because the victory of Israel does not lie.
6. Meanwhile, we stay in Lebanon and continue the fighting.
And we respond if they shoot at us.
And we attack whoever threatens us.
7. And we strengthen the government.
And its leader.
Who is the right man
At the right time,
To deal with the situation.
8. Bibi,
Go to sleep!
Tomorrow is a new day!
We're behind you

That’s funny, we went to war, spent approx $100 Billion, will be giving them $300+ Billion, and we just wanna be frens now? 
What happened to Regime change, taking over their oil, destroying an entire civilization, controlling the Strait, the Abram’s Accords, taking their nuclear material, etc etc ?
Total 100% defeat and worldwide humiliation

Reality for the Cult (they can’t read so share with them when you get an opportunity)
In that map, technically ships can transit the strait without going into Iranian waters. So why do they still need to pay the toll. They may have to pay Oman but not Iran.
What a joke... vance is talking out both sides of his mouth... if the "deal" was signed yesterday, and Friday is just a formal signing, why can't the full text be released NOW? How is the "deal" signed but there are still "technical things" to work out?
Iran deal already signed, Vance says, promises full text this week
Vice President JD Vance said “technical things” still needed to be negotiated between the two countries.
“We already signed the deal digitally yesterday,” Vance said on “Good Morning America” of the deal ending the U.S.’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. A formal signing ceremony will take place Friday in Switzerland, though Vance did not specify who would comprise the American delegation.
While Vance described “technical things” that continue to be negotiated, he said the administration plans to release the full text of the memorandum of understanding “this week.”

I noticed in the comments it's actually "wait until Thursday" because the market is closed Friday...
Story changes... now trump contradicts vance and says text will be released "sometime after Friday"... sometime...
"it's a very powerful document, it's not like the Obama document, which was a terrible document, it's a very powerful document" ...

After Action Report
stated goals ..
Ryan McBeth
What did America learn from the war with Iran?
In this After Action Review, we break down what went right, what went wrong, and what the United States needs to fix before the next major conflict.
Operation Epic Fury showed that the U.S. can still dominate the battlefield: thousands of air missions, successful Patriot and THAAD intercepts, deep strikes against Iranian military infrastructure, effective cyber operations, combat search and rescue, and the successful use of lower-cost systems like APKWS and LUCAS drones.
But the war also exposed serious problems: vulnerable bases, drone threats, limited allied support, unclear end states, the disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, weak information warfare at home, and America’s ongoing struggle to win the narrative after it wins the fight.
This is not about cheerleading or doomposting. It is an honest AAR: what worked, what failed, and what we should do better next time.
Topics covered:
Why the U.S. chose to act against Iran
Patriot and THAAD missile defense performance
Iran’s failed information warfare campaign
U.S. cyber operations
Combat search and rescue
The Strait of Hormuz gamble
Why allies matter
Counter-drone lessons from Ukraine
The need for the E-7 Wedgetail or an AWACS replacement
Embedded creators and information warfare
What China, Russia, and Iran learned from this conflict
Let me know in the comments: what do you think was the biggest lesson from the Iran war?
This video serves as an After Action Review (AAR) of the recent conflict with Iran (Operation Epic Fury), reflecting on what the United States achieved, where it failed, and what must change for future operations.
What Went Right (1:16-14:26):

What Went Right (1:16-14:26):
- Strategic necessity: The operation degraded Iran's ability to develop nuclear delivery systems, likely setting them back 10-20 years.
- Tactical execution: The coalition achieved its objectives with minimal losses, servicing over 13,000 targets in 38 days.
- Technological success: Systems like Patriot, THAAD, APKWS, and the new LUCAS drone performed effectively.
- Dominance: The U.S. demonstrated superior ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) and cyber warfare capabilities, preventing Iran from effectively coordinating or striking major assets like aircraft carriers.
- Force Protection: The failure to provide hardened shelters for troops in the region led to preventable casualties (14:39).
- Allied Support: The U.S. struggled to secure active help from European allies, partly due to the state of European navies and strained diplomatic relations.
- Calculated Risks: The decision to keep shipping lanes open through the Strait of Hormuz failed as commercial ship owners avoided the risk, causing significant economic disruption.
- Narrative Control: Despite winning the fight, the U.S. failed to win the information war, struggling to counter domestic and international narratives.
- Aviation: The E-7 Wedgetail program or E-2 Hawkeye acquisition should be prioritized to replace the aging E-3 Sentry (29:08).
- Drone Warfare: The U.S. needs to adopt lessons from Ukraine, specifically by licensing drone interceptors and adopting more mobile, hardened operational tactics (30:58).
- Information Operations: The military should revive embedded journalist/creator programs to tell authentic stories and win the narrative battle on social media (32:26, 37:43).
- Merchant Defense: Implementing containerized defense systems for merchant vessels could provide a cost-effective way to secure critical logistics (34:54).
