That's all true and yet somehow Iran is still in a better strategic position than before the war
Maybe_this_time_fr@reddit
Still got a chokehold on the strait. Mutts coping like crazy
TosiMias@reddit
Isnt part of the straight in Oman? Why exactly does Iran control all of it?
WholeKruger@reddit
Cuz the missiles can reach that side, and insurance won’t cover you if you’re large, slow, bulky ship filled with flammable / explosives cargo gets hit
SergeantPancakes@reddit
You could just have countries nationalize all of their ships and have their navies sailors sail them as a merchant marine fleet like during the world wars and just accept losses as part of the price of going through the strait from now on, though the inefficiencies from doing that might cause the price of oil to stay high anyway
KingPictoTheThird@reddit
Unfortunately most shipping companies register their ships to places like tuvalu because the taxes and regulations are lower. Good luck getting the tuvaluan navy to protect you
SergeantPancakes@reddit
Ships aren’t stateless and registering them in a tiny country like Tuvalu isn’t a get out of jail free card to avoid national jurisdiction. The ownership and operating structure of the shipping industry is very convoluted though, so in practice yes it might be difficult to parse out who owns what ship. Of course it’s because of potential events like the closure of Hormuz that nations had (and some still have) a merchant marine fleet for national security purposes in the first place until they got complacent after WW2
PetterJ00@reddit
Our navy exists to protect our waters, not foreign companies in the middle east.
_samwiise@reddit
You’re thinking of the Coast Guard
PetterJ00@reddit
Our navy’s mission statement: Surveillance and intelligence Excercise of Sovereignty and authority Crisis and conflict management nationally and internationally Wartime tasks SAR
Divided into the navy and coast guard (as you pointed out), this still doesn’t change anything.
We are not at war, there is no international coalition, and its nowhere close to our waters or territories. There’s no reason for us to be there. If we had any companies or ownership of anything down there then it’s a case for argument.
BRabbit777@reddit
I agree they shouldn't be there. But I don't think the US navy has much of a track record following its own mission statement since its part of an Empire, and exists to project the force and authority of that Empire. For example: Matthew Perry certainly had no justification to force Japan to trade with the US but it's how it went down.
PetterJ00@reddit
I don’t know what the US Navy’s mission statement is
_samwiise@reddit
What is your military experience?
PetterJ00@reddit
1 year conscripted to the air force, air defense.
-Canonical-@reddit
Because they’re a bot trying to find a weak point to use as a “gotcha” as discredit you entirely lol
_samwiise@reddit
Well, no. I’ve served my Navy for just under a decade. I was just curious who this guy was, telling me what my job is. The US Navy is by far one of the most widespread forces in the world, with hundreds upon hundreds of primary missions. You cannot group the entire branch into a single summary.
FUrCharacterLimit@reddit
Nope, coast guard does that too. PATFORSWA specifically in this case
DrillTheThirdHole@reddit
weird because its been playing "america rules the waves" since 1945
PetterJ00@reddit
I am not american.
DrillTheThirdHole@reddit
ah, are you reddit's only tuvaluan?
palmerry@reddit
The tuvaluan Navy is just a guy in an outrigger canoe with a handgun.
Myg0t_0@reddit
These ships owned by j3ws? Seems like a thing they do
Suspicious-Base-4815@reddit
Or they could just pay the toll, which is a dollar per barrel. I think I know what they are going to do.
Negative_Elo@reddit
So your steps are
-Have multiple countries nationalize their fleets -fire millions of sailors (this will have no economic downsides) -man those ships with the navy (guess we're doing drafts?) -create a merchant marine fleet -get sunk anyway and "deal with the losses"
"You could just..."
Please just give up on geopolitics. Unless youre under the age of 16, it really is not your thing man.
godfather_joe@reddit
To be fair right now this would be the only way to ship through the straight of Hormuz. No insurance company is going to back privatized ships and no privatized ships are going to sail without insurance. It costs them less to sit out and not lose a ship than to profit off risk and lose a ship doing it.
Nationalize it tho and now we’re in WW2 mode, losing a few here and there are all baked into the plan. It’s definitely a solution that probably causes more problems than fixes and the guy you’re replying to even acknowledges that a bit.
He was a bit casual saying it but his geopolitical take is not wrong
Negative_Elo@reddit
The US federal government could provide insurance.
godfather_joe@reddit
Yea but I feel like that’s the nationalize plan with just as much convulsion without the control. All the minuses without as many advantages. At least the first place my mind goes is you take months and millions/billions to set this up for the straight of Hormuz. Companies begin using your cheaper more encompassing federal backed insurance and then they just don’t sail through the Hormuz anyways because they still don’t want to lose their big ass expensive tanker and they’re cutting cost on the insurance now that it’s federally backed
Negative_Elo@reddit
Do some research on the topic. We have done this before. None of what you are saying is accurate.
Criticalma55@reddit
But the billionares! Think of the taxes!
Suhitz@reddit
Hahahah so true
ddiiggss@reddit
sounds like a terrible and expensive solution to a problem that literally did not exist 6 weeks ago
2peg2city@reddit
In the 90s the US sent 1/3rd of their navy to escort ships through, so that's an option
MrDaburks@reddit
“…>just have countries nationalize all of their ships…”
Wow dude that’s brilliant you’re a real genius. Just have every country on earth forcefully nationalize one of their most critical industries. That’s never gone wrong before, anywhere ever. Not even once.
yobob591@reddit
Anti ship missiles are extremely powerful and the truth is that arming an oil tanker is going to do absolutely nothing against them, it might mildly help against suicide drones but even that’s unlikely
Your only option is to send warships into the straight and try and airstrike shore based AShM batteries- the real issue is the US is TERRIFIED of losing even a single warship doing this as it would be a number of casualties not seen since Vietnam, and the American people are not ready to accept something like that
finite_core@reddit
But the old system was working perfectly?
If you throw a wrench into the machine which is working perfectly fine and say we need a completely different system that is x10000 more expensive because you broke the old machine intentionally. I would say that is pretty unhinged.
daokonblack@reddit
Wow! Truly an astute analysis sergeantpancakes! You are truly a master of economics and geopolitics. How have you not conquered the world with your intellect yet?? I can only prostrate myself before your prodigious cranium.
FlashAttack@reddit
Ok you go first
fuckshitballscunt@reddit
Yeah. But I'd rather we pay the ransom to the ballsy captain and crew running the gauntlet than the irgc.
Taken_Abroad_Book@reddit
Yeah shut up that's not happening you midwit
MrDaburks@reddit
So they’ve “closed” the straight by sinking or outright destroying third-party civilian vessels? Wow that’s a real mastermind strategy.

"NUUU WHY ARENT TERRORISTS FOLLOWING THE GENEVA CONVENTION"
KingPhilipIII@reddit
That’s not even Geneva convention type shit.
The law of naval warfare says merchant vessels are valid military targets.
What Iran is doing is, from a strictly legal perspective, completely permitted.
But if the rest of the world had spine, they’d do their completely permitted response of punching them in the face for touching their stuff.
BobbyRayBands@reddit
Iran is a non nuclear power. I'm really not sure why we're allowing them to control the straights at all instead of just blowing the high holy fuck out of their entire country. America is full of pussies now. What happened to the country that nuked someone twice to get their point across? Iran wants to play stupid games and bomb civilian ships? Let them win stupid prizes.
betelgeuser-joe@reddit
do you want gas to be 400$/barrel, bacause thats what will happen
you think they havent thought of nuking them yet?
because they know, iran will go M.A.D. on everyone and destroy every oil refinery in a 500 mile radius
thats why everyone is kinda stuck
FrenulumEnthusiast@reddit
It's all made up bullshit to increase oil prices. We could take out their missile sites at any time lmao
eliaslinde@reddit
its bait
Stan_Halen_@reddit
Wouldn’t it be better to just sail through Oman, get a few ships taken out, and then have an excuse to do all this BS?
ddiiggss@reddit
That's a great question! The answer, as usual, is that trump is an idiot. The strait was an open waterway before, controlled by no one. Now every ship that goes through will have to pay a toll that didn't exist two months ago.
GasterIHardlyKnowHer@reddit
Criticalma55@reddit
They're right. Cope harder, regard.
Waffle_shuffle@reddit
Cant say retard on this sub?
EffectivePoint2187@reddit
It’s called the Persian Gulf for a reason.
NewDemocraticPrairie@reddit
Because either side can control it by throwing rocks. And part of Iran's 10 point plan is splitting the crossing fee with Oman.
Paratrooper101x@reddit
Because they can still chuck drones at the ships sailing through omans side?
YinuS_WinneR@reddit
Oman to iran is like singapore to iran
TosiMias@reddit
Like, size wise?
YinuS_WinneR@reddit
Tax heaven status wise
You know how most chinese brands are owned by singaporean shell companies so they can avoid being seen as chinese (tiktok ceo sir im singaporean)? And how singapore is happy to act as an unofficial chinese canton since this brings them insane wealth?
Same with iran and oman or russia and cypruss, or europe and ireland etc.
These countries are sovereign on paper but they are actually more like free economic zones of actual countries.
Maybe_this_time_fr@reddit
Because Iran is bigger and stronger than Oman even in it current weakened state?
805collins@reddit
Ask Oman. There being awful quiet trying not to be noticed. Their neighbor has been there for thousands of years, best not make yourself a target and be happy they let you participate.
Psikhushkaa@reddit
How does that help them exactly?
Maybe_this_time_fr@reddit
Bro is 10 years old and don't understand leverage.
Psikhushkaa@reddit
Shutting down the strait is as bad for them as anyone else. Choking it is mutually assured destruction, not some hidden weapon
ZyklonFart@reddit
They have made absolute bank with the strait being closed. You are clueless.
Psikhushkaa@reddit
Doesn’t even scratch the surface for how much they need to rebuild. Very much a net negative for them.
Criticalma55@reddit
> They have made absolue bank with the strait being closed *to western ships, but not Chinese ones.* You are clueless.
FTFY

No westoid company, sure. But China and India are getting toll free crude. Spain, France etc might be paying, but safe passage is worth infinitely more than $1 a barrel which is what they're paying.
mauricio_agg@reddit
So according to you, companies and countries in Asia profit from not operating?

How exactly?

JohnDeere@reddit
What was the objective?
Extension-Shine-9313@reddit
That is mostly killing Africans and other poor people. Not sure why US or Israel cares.
Totoques22@reddit
Cause the rats of the world superpower haven’t been involved yet
I can guarantee you the moment Europe wants lower game prices and China wants to keep exporting their cheep industrial shit the straight is going to be open or Iran will have tougher sanctions than they ever did
__El_Presidente__@reddit
Why would they? So that the US repeats the skit in 5 years? China and Russia are already vetoing thr US on the strait issue, and Europe is actively not helping the US.
Nah, if they have any idea of what they're doing they'll diversify their energy need by exploiting reserves in other regions (like North Africa and the North Sea) and increasing their green energy production; the same for China. And if anything they'd benefit from dealing with Iran in euros/yuan to destroy the hegemony of the petrodollar.
This whole business exposed how fragile the whole house of cards is, why would they want to stand on it again? Lmao.
Paratrooper101x@reddit
You don’t even need to be powerful to do that. Cheap drones and mines can be placed ad infinitum and the USA will go broke trying to clear them out.
aqlr@reddit
Watching a war be commentated over in image board shit talk slang is so surreal. Is there any stranger time to be alive than right now?
littlelaghere@reddit
Yeah this is weird as fuck man
Mangeytwat@reddit
No it isn't. Its had its influence in Lebanon massively eroded and gained absolutely nothing.
In an operational sense it's significantly weaker because it's lost the head of state (and the replacement is in a coma likely in a vegetative state), it's lost over a dozen brigadier generals, it's lost almost the entirety of its air defence, almost the entirety of its air force and navy, it's spunked a significant portion of its missile supply pissing off its neighbours to the point they'll just straight up openly support Israel now and it has no capacity to replace them because Russia is funneling everything to Ukraine.
This has been absolutely dreadful for Iran in every single way and has left the country far weaker than it was a month ago.
DancesWithChimps@reddit
Yeah, the fact that people are falling for Iranian propaganda of all things is insane. Their propaganda is terrible, and yet the anticipation of shitting on America is strong that they eat that shit up.
2Rome4Carthage@reddit
Ah yes, Iran will collapse any day now... just how Russia did. Oh wait... Cope harder. Go die in a Isreal war, destroy world economy because of Israel, cover for pedos in government!
DancesWithChimps@reddit
What a coherent response.

It's hilarious too cus it's always the scarfies supporters posting at 1AM USA time. It's so easy to see but again these are the same people who blamed armadillos for covid
jump-back-like-33@reddit
Dude this whole thing has me convinced Iran is WAY ahead of the US in social engineering warfare.
deahank@reddit
No it's self loathing westerners that want to believe the propaganda. They're so desperate for Trump to be embarrassed they completely ignore facts.

It’s both. They start the fire and give some ammunition and the people you’re talking about keep it growing.

SeamenGulper@reddit
What's there to cry about? We killed their supreme leader in the first hours, wiped out their navy and air force, and we pulled off on of the most, if not the most, insane CSAR of all time
sadacal@reddit
None of that matters. If you looked at the US-Afghan war you would have reached a similar conclusion. The Taliban was nearly destroyed and the US showed their military dominance. Yet 20 years later Americans almost universally agree that the war was horrible for America and the only thing it accomplished was putting America deeper in debt and the Taliban are now back to ruling Afghanistan after humiliating the US.
The fact is the US being as rich as it is the very reason for its downfall. It simply has too much to lose, and these third world countries it keeps invading has nothing to lose, even if they lose their entire shitty military it can be easily built up again. Meanwhile losing even one US serviceman in such a pointless war is a tragedy for the US.
Mangeytwat@reddit
America made fucking bank from Afghanistan and all the key partners got paid. It was fucking shit for the average American citizen and really fucking shit for the average Afghan but that only matters if you took America at face value and believed it was trying to ' democratise ' Afghanistan and ' safeguard ' America.
Think on this - prior to American intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan you had Afghanistan and Iraq as two rogue nations (belligerent to America), Syria and Iran as firm russian allies, and Saudi Arabia that was publicly funding anti western terrorism. Now we have an Iraq that is on the cusp of an economic boom that hosts American army and air force bases, an Afghanistan that is on the brink of war with Pakistan, al Qaeda is defunct and it's spin off Isis tore Syria apart, which is now effectively a neutral country (a country that has willingly seeded territory to Israel), Iran is crippled, and Saudi Arabia is de facto an ally of Israel and has largely or completely purged it's terrorism networks.
I don't know about you but that looks a lot like a comprehensive American victory.
sadacal@reddit
Ok, but it does matter what the average American gets out of it. We're the ones footing the bills for the wars. The fact is even if those countries are "enemies" of the US, they had no real way of actually threatening us so all those trillions of dollars spent didn't even make the average American any safer.
Well maybe you want to bring up 9/11, the operation organized by a CIA trained operative funded by a supposed American ally. Heck Saudi Arabia is still supposedly an American ally today. All we're doing getting involved in the middle east is bringing pain and misery to ourselves. I wouldn't call that a victory by any stretch.
Mangeytwat@reddit
It's not about the average American, you're literally just serfs and peasants, you aren't at all relevant to policy decisions and it's crazy to think you are.
It's so weird to be exposed to people who are both cynical and hopelessly naive. Brother you live in a plutocracy where you have absolutely no rights but they jingle some keys above your head whilst telling you you do. If you even slightly threatened the function of any of the systems that generate capital for the plutocrats you'd be murdered nearly instantly, if they thought you could in any way affect their ability to accrue wealth they'd preemptively kill you.
When discussing geo politics and policy we're talking about the aristocrats, plutocrats, oligarchs, monarchs, noble houses, warlords...none of them are thinking about what's good for the peasants that work in their offices and factories, they genuinely don't give a single fuck. So when we talk about winners and losers it's a given that the peasants are always losing.
sadacal@reddit
Lmao, you're acting like you're one of the rich guys.
Of course it fucking matters how it affects regular people. Do you think people should celebrate legislation that reduces taxes on the rich and increases taxes on the poor just because it's a win for the rich guys? So why celebrate a war just because it's a win for your rich guys?
We're all just regular people, so why shouldn't we discuss policy from put perspective. The idea that we should judge whether government policy is good or not based on whether or not it benefits rich people is just dumb. It would be like Iranians discussing the war based on how much it benefits lockheed martin and arguing that the Americans should continue bombing because it means the company gets to sell more bombs. It's just so stupid and against your own interests.
Totoques22@reddit
Worth adding that other Middle East countries were already opposed to Iran before cause they keep propping up terrorist group to overthrow these countries just not openly opposing them like now
Also the Middle East countries support this war and want it to go further
Mangeytwat@reddit
Almost all the other middle eastern countries are firmly part of the American hegemony, they also just fucking hate Iran because they're Arabs and there's a backdrop of a thousand year power struggle between arabs and Persians going on. That's not to suggest Arabs all get along because they absolutely fucking don't but the various gulf states and Saudi Arabia will play nice whilst Americas hovering over their collective shoulders with a massive technological and cultural advantage.
But openly supporting Israel against a Muslim nation was a huge no no for as long as Israel has existed. It's only in the past half a decade that these countries have normalised relations, which prompted ~~russia~~ Iran to start threatening nuclear war again and was the catalyst for hamas launching its totally fun murder rampage that kicked off this entire chain of events.
On the one hand I really don't fucking like America and Israel (and especially not their current iterations) but on the other ~~russia~~ Iran is fucking awful in every way and they instigated this current round of nonsense precisely because America delivered a diplomatic and martial coup in the form of having Saudi Arabia and Israel publicly make out just as Syria collapsed costing Russia one of its only two key allies (satellites) in the region, it's an absolutely insane swing in influence, hence the whole ' let's suddenly start a fucking war we can't win in Israel '. Watching bots and genuinely stupid as fuck normies (both left and right) try to frame this as an Iranian win just pushes my buttons because it's such obvious newspeak - ' we're totally winning by losing every single engagement, losing control of our airspace, losing control of Lebanon and Gaza and attacking commercial shipping with missiles designed to knock out capital ships '.
betelgeuser-joe@reddit
i agree no one is "winning" in this scenario
but to say Iran started this war i disagree, when its clearly israel thats to blame for all this nonsense, starting from bombing irans embassy, and them convincing trump that this would be "easy", this is clearly in israel's design
again no one is "winning", but currently
Iran has little to lose, the regime is getting more approval the more bombs US/israel drops on iranian civilians
US has alot to lose, the regime getting less popular the more oil prices go up
so as it stands, Iran is "winning" because it could open or close the strait on their terms, allowing china and other allies passage if theyre using chinese money, while still being able to launch attacks on israel and US bases around the gulf.
also having the ability to destroy any and all oil refineries in a 1000 mile radius, thus the global economy, also helps with deterence from a nuclear response
Mangeytwat@reddit
Yes Iran has little to lose because it already lost everything. It also can't open or close the strait on its terms, America and Israel can bomb any shipping that travels through it. The only thing that has changed is that Iran is threatening commercial shipping and fucking up its own logistics chain in the process. It's doing that because all its leaders have died and various de facto warlords are vying for control, it's also why negotiations are nigh impossible, there is no functioning government. The only thing keeping Iran vaguely coherent is the threat of death to anyone in a position of power, they're fucking terrified of being bombed because they can't do anything about it so they're desperately reccing out to anyone who'll listen.
Iran isn't winning on any level and trying to frame it like it is is absurd.
first5eight@reddit
Well theyre winning public opinion in most Western countries, where general populations see this an Israel & US instigated war that is having massive negative global effects.
The western world was already off Trump and the US before the war, now its 10 times worse.
SeamenGulper@reddit
Wish I could upvote this a hundred times. People dont understand the bigger picture with Russia, and how the Ukrainian invasion cascades into them losing a majority of the sphere of influence. There also seems to be a disconnect in recognizing the damage Iran has done to Ukraine

Yes, of course.
TheNamesJeff-Jeeeeff@reddit
Unfortunately they have many buyers in queue
wolfmanpraxis@reddit
For those that dont know
China, and India are some of the top buyers of Iranian oil.
Personally, I understand China.
I'm just a bit confused by India being a prominently Hindu, with tenuous relations with Muslims, nation working with a Islamic nation that prohibits the existence of anything not Shia Islam being on relatively stable and friendly terms with each other.
Though India has a very strict non-alignment international policy, and will successfully push back any pressures from the "Global Powers".
greyetch@reddit
Lol do you actually believe this?
wolfmanpraxis@reddit
Yes.
My uncle is Hindu. He is a Desalination Engineer, and builds desalination plants around the world. He spent 3 months in Bandar Abbas working with local engineers.
He was warned by both the Iranian company and his own company to not bring any Hindu religious iconography, do not say anything un-Islamic in public, and to keep his religious preferences quiet while in Iran.
greyetch@reddit
Not allowing Hinduism is not the same as "prohibits the existence of anything not Shia Islam".
Hinduism is pagan and idol worshipping (from the Iranian perspective, at least) - Iran doesn't allow that.
Christianity, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism are allowed. As well as Shia Islam.
wolfmanpraxis@reddit
This is the key point.
Rationalization (in the international relations context) only goes as far as both parties have something of importance or interest.
When you have one side that has nothing to lose, but everything to gain -- they have the strategic advantage.
Jeevaca@reddit
It’s like Afghanistan running laps on the US ever since their victory, but just way way more embarrassing. The US will never win another war.
Gex2-EnterTheGecko@reddit
Yeah this really just shows how much of a stupid fucking decision this war was. They got fucked up and we still lost and ended up giving them everything they wanted.
DonMo999@reddit
No?
Gamepass90@reddit
What? Not really
DancesWithChimps@reddit
I can't tell if these people are bots, foreign agents, or straight retards. As if the key to being a superpower is to lose the vast majority of your military assets, but the country that did it to you lost almost nothing and got bored, so now you're an empire. Like what?
andrewwm@reddit
The tolls Iran will collect each year that Trump now allows them to collect will equal 1/4 of their GDP. Plenty of money to replace whatever shitty 1970s Soviet fighters the US spent 100m dollar missiles on blowing up.
SeamenGulper@reddit
Just say you dont know shit. They had F5s, F14s, and C130s
andrewwm@reddit
50-80% of them weren't flyable and the F14s don't have any missiles left to fire dumbass
SeamenGulper@reddit
Yea cause the Iranians totally didnt develope their own missiles for the F14s. You said they only had 1970s soviet era shit and now your backtracking
andrewwm@reddit
Their own missiles are dogshit and only 20% of the small number of F14s they have were estimated to be flyable.
SeamenGulper@reddit
So now they have missiles? You said they only had 1970s soviet shit. Then you backtracked when I mentioned all the Amefican equipment, which o forgot to include the F4, so thanks for reminding me. Then you claimed they had no missiles, then backtracked again when recognizing domesticly produced missiles.
It seems like you have a problem with overexagerating and shifting goalposts
CoSh@reddit
So they have 1950s-70s American shit too? What does that matter? It's all still useless.
SeamenGulper@reddit
The guy already lost the debate so you dont have to defend him. Point being he kept lying and shifting the goalposts cause he doesnt know shit. They are useless cause they are all gone
CoSh@reddit
I don't think whether it was American or Soviet shit was all material to his point. The point is it was old and useless.
SeamenGulper@reddit
Nah he was lying and going back and editing comments in real time while I proved him wrong.
Hop off his cock already, he hasent responded since I called him out on it
andrewwm@reddit
They don't have an F4s, you idiot. I feel like I'm talking to a highly regarded toddler. They have a bunch of broken down American stuff from the 1970s they haven't been able to get spare parts for and barely functions + some old crappy Soviet stuff (the bulk of their airforce and the only part that was flyable).
SeamenGulper@reddit
HAHAHHA yeah I saw you change your dumbass comment from "any" F4s to "combat-capable" F4s, your not going to slip that one by. Calling me a regarded toddler when you try and be slimy and change you comment after I call you out is hysterical. You were objectively wrong lol, you changing the comment after I called you out Is good enough for me. Have a good one!
SeamenGulper@reddit
Go google IRIAF F4 phantoms right fucking now. If by "They dont have F4s" you mean they've all been bombed, then yes, your correct. I cant put a picture of an iranian F4 in the comments so i cant hand hold you on this one
andrewwm@reddit
The F5 is a 1960s era platform that was designed to be a cheaper aircraft than the F4 Phantom, a fighter that last saw combat in Vietnam
Bum_King@reddit
Just take the L and shut up, dude
andrewwm@reddit
The dude is straight up wrong that the Iranian air force was anything other than a barely functioning pile of rusted out airplanes. Or are you gonna try to tell me now that the F5 is competitive with the F35?
SeamenGulper@reddit
Are you gonna respond to you changing your comment like a snake or nah
SeamenGulper@reddit
The 15 point and 10 point peace plan are radically different. Why are you suggesting the 10 point Iranian plan is already implemented? The US and Isreal will never allow Iran to control the straight, we will seize Kharg before that happens
andrewwm@reddit
Trump already posted on Truth Social that he's fine with them collecting the money so take it up with Trump if you have a problem with it.
SeamenGulper@reddit
Yea quote that cause i couldnt find that in the first few posts. Anyways, that is under the pretext that they denulcearize. The US 15 point plan even includes provisions about helping establish a civilian nuclear industry with international collaboration IF the give up the 60 percent Uranium
IWonderWhyReditSucks@reddit
No, you just don't understand.
Let me put it like this....One time, I beat my neighbor up. I tricked him into breaking his hand on my face.
He has to deal with a broken hand, and all I had was 12 stitches, two black eyes a broken nose and lost a tooth and getting humiliated on my front yard in front of my family.
Now, I am a superpower.
Does that make sense now?
Wiwwil@reddit
The thing is if they defeat the USA, they will inevitably be a superpower in the Middle East and no one will be able to stop them from getting a nuclear weapon, as they should

Wiwwil@reddit
Seeing how it's going about now ? Pretty high chances since Iran is at home in a massive land and the USA is just unable to stop them bombing the neighbors and destroying resources.
And if they come on top, that means it's the dominant in the region, Saudi and whatever will have to deal with victorious Iran.

The IRGC finally had consequences come to their home country and they are scared as fuck right now.
If they violate this ceasefire, which it seems they are, this will continue and ground forces pushing up from the strait far enough to set up air defenses can release that blockade and cut off the extortion revenue they're desperately collecting for passage.

chickenCabbage@reddit
Iranian and co.'s propaganda has proven effective to dissuade the US from fighting. Expect even more bots and astroturfing going forward.
Negative_Elo@reddit
Propoganda is not the reason people are dissuaded from attacking Iran. Its just a shitty thing to put the country through. All to support Isreal
chickenCabbage@reddit
That's the astroturfing in action. There's a lot of reasons that the US entered this war, be it starving China of oil, protecting the petro-dollar, lowering the price of oil, anti-proliferation of nukes, and only dismantling the regime that funds terrorism against US interests is in conjunction with Israel (because Israel is a US interest).

Mr_Canard@reddit
starving China of oil --> failed
protecting the petro-dollar --> failed
lowering the price of oil --> failed
anti-proliferation of nukes --> failed
dismantling the regime --> failed
chickenCabbage@reddit
I know it failed and worsened, China will likely get cheaper Iranian oil now because they'll help them rebuild the infrastructure that got destroyed.
But the results don't have to do with Israel/astroturfing/the motivations for the war
Mr_Canard@reddit
No, what you should see is that they didn't even try to achieve the goals you stated, apart from the regime decapitation, the war was started by Israel who dragged the US into it. Israel's goal is to turn Iran into failed state so they can face less resistance while expanding their territory.
chickenCabbage@reddit
All of these goals would be achieved by a regime that is more western-oriented.
starving China of oil --> no explanation needed
protecting the petro-dollar --> no explanation needed
lowering the price of oil --> more competition in the western markets and lower insurance on gulf+bab al mandab shipping
anti-proliferation of nukes --> no explanation needed
Right, I forgot Iran isn't a failed state, murdering dozens of thousands of protestors who started protesting because they have no water or electricity is totally non-failed state activities.
And Israel is totally expanding bro, that's why they drew back from Lebanon in 2000, and from Gaza in 2005, and again in 2012, and again in 2014, and from Lebanon again in 2025.
Mr_Canard@reddit
Ah yes they currently are totally not expanding into Lebanon and totally didn't threaten to go into Turkey next, also totally drawing back from the west bank and Gaza, definitely didn't move further into them.
Oh gee I wonder why Iran's economy was in shambles, could it be due to heavy sanctions from the US that banned western countries from trading with Iran. No way bro, who could have guessed stopping most countries from trading with you could have negative economical impact, that's crazy. By bombing the population all you do is radicalize them and increase their support for the regime you wanted to see fall.
All your stupid country did was prove once again that the only way to keep it away from you is to have nukes. Would the US and Israel have attacked Iran if it had nukes ??? No that's too scary they might use them.
Also dumb, the US is one of the largest producer now, they don't want oil to be cheap because their oil is costlier to produce
By getting a monopole on oil all you'll get is to push every other country towards renewables and further increase their dependance to China, lowering the value of the dollar

Look at North Korea, Vietnam or Cuba. No matter how shitty your system is, nothing gives you a stronger legitimacy than getting a "didn't lose" against the US. Trump just ensured a theocratic Iran for the next 100 years.
Wild-End7484@reddit
In any complex bureaucracy like the IRGC or regular Iranian army, the very top guys are often 10+ years removed from any real operations or strategy work. They don't know what's going on.
The surviving colonels who have actually spent time drilling guys in underground missile tunnels are better equipped to lead a wartime army taking distributed independent action. By taking out the top 25 guys, the US and Israel have probably removed a lot of political impediments to effective asymmetric warfare.
Not to mention that when you blow up 150 daughters of military officers, those 150 guys and all their buddy officers - a network of thousands of people - become 100% committed to revenge. A year ago a lot of Iranian captains and majors were probably wiling away their time in the army drinking coffee and chatting and smoking cigarettes. All those guys are now committed to their work with deadly seriousness

This is the reality of a military regime that has literally been preparing to fight the US for decades and doesnt even really have to “win”. They just have to outlast US interest in continuing a war.

Suspicious-Base-4815@reddit
It depends on the objectives. Israel wants a completly destroyed Iran or a friendly Iran that just do whatever the sionists want like Qatar They are going to get neither. Trump was duped by Israel into thinking this was going to bring him glory. It was a failure too. Iran just have to survive. That is their objective.
Sleep-more-dude@reddit
For the US? regime change. for the IRGC? ideological survival.
thembearjew@reddit
The 3 trillion dollar question lol
strife696@reddit
That doesnt matter. They were never looking to store up mass weapons in the event of a conflict. Their goal is to erode our will and secure concessions for a ceasefire. Thats exactly what they did.
Which is why Israel said no and kept bombing Lebanon. Because THEY know we havent actually won anything yet.
Backrus@reddit
They would continue bombing and double tapping regardless because there's only one objective there since 1948 - absolute and total conquest of the whole Middle East.
Edgefactor@reddit
Americans truly can't fathom being dominant in the world in any way other than having more missiles than the other guy, can they?

HughJaynis@reddit
Yeah if even half of the terms of the ceasefire are truly agreed to including sanctions being dropped, Iran is in a much better place than they were prewar. That’s a win.
DancesWithChimps@reddit
So you think Iran making demands is the same as Iran winning the war? Y'all can't be for real.
HughJaynis@reddit
It’s pretty obvious the US wants out of the war and the only way they can do that is to make major concessions to Iran. Make sense?
DancesWithChimps@reddit
You think the Iranian regime wants to keep getting pummeled? They were on the verge of economic collapse before this conflict even began.
But to understand you, the US makes a concession to stop the fighting and that means Iran wins. Iran makes a concession to stop the fighting and that means Iran wins.
Brilliant take. Thanks for explaining it to me. Ever consider that the US can just leave? Like they can just decide they don't want to blow up any more shit and be gone. The US doesn't have to make concessions to stop the fighting. Iran is the country being attacked.
strife696@reddit
You need to understand that the enemies of the US are fully aware that we are more powerful than them. They know about our missiles. They understand that fighting the US will lead to untold devastation. They understand much will be destroyed in the process, if not everything. To these people, victory is the willingness to endure through the conflict and win SOMETHING. We could destroy their whole economy, their industry, and their official leadership and still be in conflict.
And in the meantime, they extract a cost from us in the form of increased fuel prices and attacking our allies, because their role in the war is to continually extract a cost on us that makes the war too expensive. Because then, WE want to leave the war and they can secure advantages they did not previously have. And then they rebuild using foreign labor and are back to normal in like 5 years because their a tyrannical regime and can just force things via edict.
HughJaynis@reddit
“The US can just like leave bro”
Yeah you’re a dumbass lol. The fact that the us is willing to make concessions means that they can’t “just leave”. Iran can and will aggressively buttfuck the US economically by shutting down the strait of Hormuz. Iran has a lot of leverage in these negotiations and pretending like they don’t is just some smoothbrain fantasy.

It’s crazy to see the mental gymnastics here… prepared for years and couldn’t stop the US from doing a daytime rescue that took nearly 7 hours 200 miles inland.

andrewwm@reddit
Don't need tech that beats the US, just need tech that harasses the Iraqis, Omanis, etc.
Before the war Iran had a rustbucket Navy and Air Force that they could barely keep afloat / in the air.
Now you just doubled their government budget. You don't think they can replace that capacity in short order?? Who's the one jumping through hoops here.
aghastamok@reddit
"HAHA, I am bigger and stronger than a dog, I could completely destroy one with this rocket launcher."

Pfox102@reddit
The daytime rescue mission was the most expensive in HISTORY (300-500 million for one individual). Iran looks at that effort as slow blood draw on the US war bear. It’s not mental gymnastics, merely being aware of the US inability to affect real “regime change” any situation without being on the ground.
SeamenGulper@reddit
Ah, Iran only has 1970s equipment. It's not like they have their own defense industry, advanced electronically tracking, manpads, and (formerly) s-300PMU-2, which are not trash.
Pretty much all of our 4th gen airframes were introduced in the 70s, but Iran, just like us, modernize platforms that work, and so does everything else, so your 1970s quip doesnt really mean that much.
andrewwm@reddit
They have been embargoed for so long that over half of their "newest" 1970s fighters were grounded for lack of spare parts.
Yeah sure I mean they spent some money on defense but this isn't even the Iraqi army of 1991, this is more like beating up on the Taliban in 2001. The US is spending 10x more on the cost of the missiles to blow stuff up than the value of what they are actually blowing up.

Few_Mortgage3248@reddit
False. Israel claims 70% of Irans steel production is destroyed (which I'm skeptical of). In 2025, Iran was producing 31.8 million tons of steel annually. Doing the maths, that means Iran can now produce 9.54 million tons of steel every year, which still makes them the 21st biggest steel producer in the world, on par with France (9.8 million tons annually) and twice as much as Australia (5.2 million tons annually). That's a lot of steel. More than enough to meet demand for the missiles and drones they're building. Iranian manufacturing output in 2024 was 97.9 billion USD. If 70% of total Iranian manufacturing output is destroyed (which is not the case), that's means they can still output 29.4 billion USD worth of goods. That's a little less than Norway's output at 29.8 billion USD annually. People don't realise how big Iran is. An Iran with 70% of their industrial base destroyed is still a formidable opponent which can continue to wage war with the United States.
Usual-Ad-4986@reddit
Producing steel is just one metric, I am not even sure if they can use simple steel for their missiles and who are they gonna use it on? Rest of ME while US will be gone after making a deal
You forgot one little detail, their economy is tanked, they need access to free market for any re-industrialization or trade to take place and US will make sure the new regime tows the line, they will be basically the new hedge against Sunni bloc
Few_Mortgage3248@reddit
It's a proxy for industrial capacity, which is why it's used in military strength indexes to gauge a country's ability to fight attritional wars. I also mentioned overall manufacturing output, which is about as good as a metric as you can get for a country's ability to produce things.
As per Reuters, the Iranian proposal which Trump called "reasonable" on Truth Social yesterday included the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions as one of the points in their plan.
Usual-Ad-4986@reddit
Eh Japan produces more steel than US, doesnt mean it can match US Navy, seems like a poor index
TACO Trumps latest truth social said that they are hoarding troops until they get "REAL" peace deal, either way if you think new Iran regime would be hostile to US then I have a bridge to sell, they will tow the line and harass other ME nations
Few_Mortgage3248@reddit
True. Large steel production doesn't automatically translate into shipbuilding capacity. Though unless you're Geoffrey Pyke, all those ships would have to be made of steel. If Japan were to ever have any aspiration of building a large navy, all that steel production would come in handy. This way they'll face fewer bottlenecks in supply chains and can focus on more on the actual shipbuilding part. So it's important for surge capacity.
There's very few materiels that don't require steel in some way. Ships, airplanes, tanks, munitions, guns, artillery, helmets and lunchboxes. Steel is the primary constituent in all of those. So it's not a bad proxy.
You're probably right. I doubt Trump would accept such a deal.
Well Iranians aren't exactly fond of the US government. And recent events could've only made that worse. What makes you think they'd suddenly become more friendly with America?
Usual-Ad-4986@reddit
The new deal will basically means new Iranian overlords will have blessing of US without interference, I mean they will still do their usual shenanigans calling US as villain, all that pony show for their own citizens along with usual proxy games they like to play, but they will be out of US ways where it matters i.e oil taps to china should turn off when US wants them to, no trading in yuan etc

Even Korea was only fought to a draw because the U.S. decided it wasn’t worth it to fully unify the peninsula after the Chinese entered the war and forced them back across the border. Most famously with Truman denying MacArthurs plans to nuke China, but there were other constraints posed on the U.S. military purely for political reasons like the ban on strategic bombing of China with conventional weapons, or the overall worry of provoking the Soviets if the U.S. did anything deemed too drastic. It’s called the forgotten war for a reason.

Hes clearly referring to the Op to rescue the downed pilot, which involved the aforementioned helicopters, dipshit
appolzmeh@reddit
I mean the whole point of the drones they use is that they are effective against ships and armored targets cheap to manufacture and easy to launch. We know where the big missiles are coming from but even the best bunker busters in the world can barley get through 60 meters (200ft) of earth. Pretty easy to have bunkers deeper than that to store your shit in when you’ve had more than a decade to prepare.
k1ra_raw@reddit
No they probably can.
Let's not forget, for Iran it's a matter of life and death. For USA it's just a dick measuring competition. It was the same with Vietnam. US citizens aren't really that affected. This is not an existential war. USA is not really using everything. You have to be an absolute dumb-ass to think that any country matches 1 trillion dollars in defence spending militarily.
USA's loss in this entire thing would probably be something like no more middle East bases and international humiliation. Iran's loss would probably be a regime change, hundreds of thousands of casualties and half a century of being under the USA's thumb.
I am not really siding with the USA but we should hope that they are not inclined to use their full power.

Psikhushkaa@reddit
yeah we’re smoking dick if we’re saying Iraq is “inconclusive” buddy lmao
Resident_Cap3471@reddit
It is inconclusive because The US overthrew Saddam Hussein, who was a Sunni and strongly hostile toward Iran because of the religious tensions between the Sunnis and the Shias. After his removal, the political system in Iraq shifted, and Shia parties came to dominate the government. This contributed to the rise of militias and political groups that have closer ties to Iran. Donald Trump and many American politicians even said the invasion of Iraq was a mistake, and they use the excuse of the absence of weapons of mass destruction as the main justification for why it was mistake, but the real reason that they hide is unintended shift of replacing a Sunni-led regime with a Shia-dominated government, which contributed to Iran’s influence in Iraq. Then the US tried to correct its mistake by funding extreme Sunni groups in Iraq like ISIS so they could take over the government, like what happened a year ago in Syria, but that quickly backfired because those groups harassed the Yazidis Kurds, who are American allies, and also because 70% of Iraqis are Shia, so the Sunnis had a hard time taking over.
Citaku357@reddit
How did the US lose the Iraq war though? The government that they created still exist
Psikhushkaa@reddit
They didn’t, my implication is that it was conclusively a win
Blackrussiankat@reddit
Well its actually kind of true, the problem is that if they did, theyd lose every single foothold on the rest of the globe possibly. Not that it would happen immeadietly, but china is already building alot of landing craft. And just imagine how balanced the chances for a success would be if most of the american military was stuck in Iran for 20 years, with most of their equipment buildup gone.
thesuperbob@reddit
based take
for Iranian people this is a fucking catastrophe
for US citizens it's a minor lifestyle change
for Iranian leadership and military this is fucking doomsday they will be recovering from for decades
for the US, it's a matter of balancing their military budget for the next fiscal year
sure some people around US poverty line will suffer, some US soldiers don't come back, some of their gear and bases get destroyed
Iran gets all of this 1000x worse and suffers major infrastructure collapse on top, leadership collapse, military in shambles, and no matter how this goes they're still fucking stuck with Israel actively stirring shit up in the region
meanwhile for the US it's just a matter they can get bored with and go home
seriously, media is doing a lot of heavy lifting here to skew the perceptible image of the whole thing

thesuperbob@reddit
For a typical American that's an inconvenience. Maybe they need to take out a loan. For Iranians, and most other people in the region, everything is fucked now.
This isn't about US getting what they want or not. Iran can claim twitter clout all they want, they still got their teeth kicked in simply because US needed a distraction for Taco Tuesday.
I'm not condoning what US is doing, just pointing out the absurdity of comparing how this impacts both sides and somehow deducing US is worse off.
Sure it's not going well for the US. But they can eat the cost and barely notice. Iran isn't so lucky.
This whole thing is insanity, US fucking shit up on a whim.
Maybe_this_time_fr@reddit
Cool story, now open the strait.
Maybe_this_time_fr@reddit
Inclined? They can't. USA operates differently than Russia or China. The will of the people still have some sway in the US and the people do not want this war.
oby100@reddit
We certainly cannot. No other US president has fucked with Iran specifically because there’s no feasible way to open the straight without Iran cooperation. Even if the government fell tomorrow, a rag tag group of terrorists could easily put enough pressure on cargo ships to keep the straight closed unless we commit to a ground invasion and occupation.
You don’t realize what a fucked position Trump has put us into. He will do everything he can to get us into a ground invasion if Iran doesn’t back down (they won’t)

Interdimensional multi-universe 6D Chess moves are as follows:
US spends $20 billion and consumes a shit ton of munitions to attack Iran and overthrow the government
Iran closes their strait in response.
*US new war objective: attempt to open the strait back up with threats, attacks, and weak diplomacy"
Iran defends, still controls the strait, and is now dead-set on issuing a toll to oil ships to safety travel through the strait in exchange for Chinese Yuan"
US pissed off every single UN/NATO "ally"
Results so far: Russia is able to increase prices and gain extra money from their oil exports (money which will be used against Ukraine.) Chinese currency is strengthened due to Iranian toll on the Strait. The dollar/petrodollar is weakened. US tax dollars are wasted. NATOA alliances are weakened. Israelis are corrupting the US government. Countless Persians/Arabs are dead for trying to defend themselves. Strait is still closed...
Zero gain, all pain.
This is some next level "trolling" from the Trump administration. You could elect a literal Duck into office, and it would do far less damage to the globe/country than the current guy.

You're right. At this point I wish the USA would just target their civil infrastructure and destroy the country outright. It sucks for the civilians but when you allow a regime to rule you that is only committed to annoying acts of terrorism, you might get cleaned out alongside them.

Amerimutts don't understand a military by the numbers victory is irrelevant when there are no boots on the ground, theit economy got a massive boost and the regime is more legitimized to rule than ever. For a country to be defeated you need a total military, economical and socio-political victory or a surrender.
FuckRedditIsLame@reddit
I guess from an Iranian perspective, this has been a real ugly few years that doesn't look like winning in any way - half their proxy in Lebanon got maimed by exploding pagers, their proxy in Gaza is decimated and reduced to a low intensity, half hearted insurgency, their nuclear program was mogged badly, they've been strangled by sanctions, there have been multiple public uprisings against them that have needed to be quelled with severe repression, and now they've had their leadership more or less completely wiped out as well as the replacements for that leadership, what remains of their nuclear program is obliterated, their rocket and missile manufacturing capabilities are for the time being wiped out, their supply of drones and missiles is clearly depleted, they no longer have a navy or airforce, they no longer have a means of domestically producing steel, and they've made deep enemies of every singe one of their neighbors now.
But trying to explode the world economy as revenge turns this all into a win for them, surely!
Baly999@reddit
Their win condition was for the regime to survive. For America they had to do everything I said above. Iran is the clear winner here. Nothing they lost they can't replenish. Their leadership decentralized massively after the strike, but it's still there. Their first echelon is dead, but now you have the second and third echelons. The IRGC is a mafia like organization, not a standard autocracy with power concentrated solely at the top. You have much to learn about autocratic regimes american.
FuckRedditIsLame@reddit
I've seen this repeated earnestly by a few 'experts' lately, but it's hardly a very convincing win condition - simply survival of a regime is not a win.
Baly999@reddit

In contrast, USA and Israel goal (if Trump even have any in the first place lmfao) are to Regime Change and they achieved that technically. by changing one Ayatollah to another lol

Saying that Iran is a "new superpower" is somewhat hilarious. They can only rely on drones and missiles to destroy tankers and other ships, but AFAIK they have no Navy or Air Force (and if they do, their size is negligible).
That said, they're still alive and kicking even after being heavily bombed by Israel and the US. Losing several key members of their leadership apparently means little to nothing, especially if the evil guys are still there.
And guess what? Lebanon was bombed so now the Hormuz straight is closed (again). That's one of the silliest reasons ever. It would have been a better excuse to say that Mr. Tan farted out loud.
