Just the facts folks, just the facts. I haven't seen any published opinions referring to this war.
The Iranians suffered approximately 200,000 battle deaths during the eight years of the Iran Iraq War without quitting. It took the combined shock of the USS VINCENNES shooting down an Iranian airliner and Iraq's massive use of nerve agents to retake the al-Faw Peninsula that convinced the Ayatollah Khomeini to agree to a cease fire, and only he had the moral authority to call a halt to the bloodshed, which however also left his regime intact.
This is probably a good indicator for the short term.

Unpossible. We know Iraq had no WMDs.
You make a good point.
If the people of Iran don't step up, we may be, and probably should be, in this for the long haul.
We won't though. An entire political party in the United States want to just trust Iran's leadership not to build nukes. So, at some point, Iran will. If we could show a little backbone for multiple consecutive administrations of both parties, Iran might think twice. For now, they are just hoping for Democrat electoral victories (and therefore time to build a nuke, and maybe even some cash from us to them to help out their autocratic regime).
Trump should declare victory and call it all off
Instead we are bringing over Marines and amphibious landing ships, in case President Fuckwit orders them to take Kharg Island.
It’s all to try to get the Iranians to open the Strait.
From their perspective, if they do that, then these attacks are likely to happen again. They are thinking about deterring the next war by making the West pay.
Tactical victory, strategic disaster.
Looking forward to Iran dictating terms to President TACO.

Who's in charge of Iran and its military now? Who one single person has the authority to surrender?
No one is in charge. Just commanders who are trying to make a name for themselves of fragmented groups. Am I wrong?
In America, when the Supreme Leader is in a coma…the Easter Bunny customarily steps in…
Probably not in an Islamic nation though…
Did you run this by Corn Pop?
