If there is a people of Iran to be redeemed, they will need to redeem themselves.
We (and others) may assist, but they have to want it more than the Islamic Republic and the IRGC can keep them from it.
And if they do not, then I shed no tear for their fate as occurs, with what must be done.

Apparently no deal. Vance and team returning home. I'm guessing hell is about to come to breakfast.

So you're advocating for the US military to commit war crimes? That's where we're at?
Also remember that Iran can launch drones to do the same thing in the region if they wanted - 80% of the water in Israel comes from their desalination plants. An attack on them would be devastating for their civilian population. Saudi is 70%, Kuwait 90% and Oman 86%.
If Iran took out any of the desalination plants in those countries, it would be a super quick way to ensure our "allies" turn against us. Imagine the humanitarian disaster if they ran out of drinking water in just a few days.
Face it, Iran has maneuvered us into a no-win predicament. One that many saw coming weeks/months/years ago.

DUBAI, April 11 (Reuters) - Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is still recovering from severe facial and leg injuries suffered in the airstrike that killed his father at the beginning of the war, three people close to his inner circle told Reuters.
Khamenei’s face was disfigured in the attack on the supreme leader’s compound in central Tehran and he suffered a significant injury to one or both legs, all three sources said.
Khamenei’s whereabouts, condition and ability to rule still largely remain a mystery to the public, with no photo, video or audio recording of him published since the air attack and his subsequent appointment as his father’s replacement on March 8.
Iran’s United Nations mission did not respond to Reuters questions about the extent of Khamenei’s injuries or the reason he has not yet appeared in any images or recordings.

Oh knock it off with the war crimes bullshit. There's nothing "war crime" about it.

Well, shit. We should just quit, and come sailing home with our tails between our legs then. As Adrian told Rocky, "YOU CAN'T WIN!"

I'll do you one better Jeff... I say blow up their Mosques and schools. Want to end the cycle of generational violent anti-Americanism? Kill it where it starts.
We won this war the very day it started and Trump has already stated that it was a major victory. The Strait of Hormuz is not our problem and its blockage is the responsibility of countries dependent on it to resolve. We have plenty of our own domestic resources and we can easily weather a prolonged closure of the Strait.

Why is it that every time you post, you sound progressively more unhinged? Do you even think before you type? Just like that, blow up all the schools, kill all the children? And that is going to end the anti-Americanism problem for good?
