It has reached that familiar moment where there is nothing meaningful left to bomb from the air, yet the treacherous regime is still firmly in place. We have seen this same plot play out many times before. Even though the first two or three levels of leadership have been killed, there are still plenty of hardliners waiting in the wings ready to step straight into those roles.

Trump now has two options. Either send in ground forces to try to destroy Iran's large military and hunt down whatever underground stores of rockets, missiles, drones and enriched uranium that remains, which would be massively costly, or do what he usually does, lie and declare total victory.

Expect the second option.

He will soon announce that all the key targets were destroyed, the Supreme Leader and his entire cabinet are dead, and the mission was a great success. But only half of that is true, with the untrue part being the more important piece of it. Then the US will quietly back out while pretending the job is finished.

Meanwhile the regime is still there, the 440 kilos of enriched uranium is still missing, and Iran will slowly rebuild whatever was damaged.

The bigger problem is that the war has already started choking the global economy. The Strait of Hormuz being effectively shut down is a deal breaker. Ships are too nervous to pass through while the fighting continues. Meanwhile oil has surged, inflation is climbing, US government debt keeps rising by a billion a day, and markets are wobbling.

That kind of economic pressure is exactly the sort of thing that usually triggers a classic Trump TACO moment.

So expect a very overblown victory speech from Trump very soon, followed by a very quick exit from a war that achieved little more than a temporary setback. Let’s face it, he has no choice but to chicken out... again.

So everyone is a fool but ME -- Thanks for your attention to this matter:

Perfect for making dirty bombs. Easy too.

He will drop the news on a Friday and then disappear to play golf with Putin and Epstein over the weekend.

BREAKING!!! BIG WIN FOR AMERICA!!!

Just spoke with our GREAT generals and military leaders. The operation in Iran was a COMPLETE AND TOTAL SUCCESS. The targets were OBLITERATED, absolutely OBLITERATED. Many people are saying it was one of the most tremendous, precise and powerful military operations ever conducted anywhere in the world. Maybe THE most powerful. The fake news will never report it that way but everybody knows it is a tremendous win.

Iran’s leadership that was causing HUGE problems for the world is GONE. Completely. Their nuclear ambitions have been set back MANY YEARS. Decades. Maybe even forever. The damage is MASSIVE.

Our incredible pilots, fighters, sailors, soldiers, everybody involved, did an AMAZING job. The best military anywhere in the world, by far. Nobody even comes close. ZERO comparison. TOTAL DOMINANCE.

Because the mission was such a TREMENDOUS SUCCESS we are now bringing this phase of the operation to a close and our GREAT American warriors will be coming home. Peace through strength. We hit them HARD and they understand now.

Thank you to our amazing military and to all the GREAT patriots who support them.

GOD BLESS YOU, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

If I know my tacos, it will take another -1000 pt down day in the Dow for Trump to truly taco.

His manner of capitulation will be as it was the other day: call into a news outlet (maybe Jesse Watters or Maria Bartiromo of Fox this time) while the market is still open and claim "total and complete victory", plus announce he is removing all forces from the theater. He would go on to say, "Nobody thought we could do this well; many people are saying it's the greatest victory since I stopped the Rwandan Genocide in 1994".

As oil climbs back up, and prices of everything from filling the car to getting food on the shelves soars, Republicans in Congress will quietly get word to Trump that it looks as if they might lose their seat in November, if living costs keep rising and 401Ks keep falling.

Of the many fallouts from this war of choice, one of the most consequential might be a total shift in the US' view of Israel. Already the youth of the US (i.e., up and coming voters) has turned on Israel owing to the genocide in Gaza, but the reality that Netanyahu drew Trump and the US into this debacle could even resonate among senior Republicans and even the American Jewish community. Israel may be forced to dump Netanyahu (and prosecute him for his Trumpian-level corruption) in order to remain in the good graces of the American people.

As for Iran, its people will continue to suffer under the thumb of fanatical (and self-serving) theocrats, perhaps BECAUSE of the war. One wonders what could have been if Trump had kept the JCPOA and used it for what it was intended....as a basis for further negotiation with the aging mullahs, who may well have passed before passing leadership on to the next generation of hardliners. The wars and the sanctions led to the economic fallout within Iran that had the people rise up in massive protest, which then forced the government's brutal hand. Absent the fallout after the JCPOA was tossed and the sanctions imposed, the government might not have become so hardline against its own people, and instead slipped quietly into history. Instead, Trump and Netanyahu made them a cornered dog, and they fought back.

I don’t understand why republicans support Israel it just MAPA (makes America poorer again).

All that money pouring into Israel and nothing coming back

I agree, but...

Will Iran also stop? Nothing has changed there. The same (or worse) hardliners are and will stay in power.

The lack of planning at the White House, which government officials reported shortly after the start of the war, appears to be continuing. Trump claims that Venezuelan oil could help curb inflation. The crude oil from the South American country is primarily heavy fuel oil, which can only be processed in certain specially equipped refineries. Production costs are therefore higher than for oil from the Middle East. The Strait of Hormuz primarily carries Saudi Arabian oil, which mainly produces light fuel oil.

Car users in the USA are paying noticeably more at the gas station. And that won't change.

Trump lost (again) from the beginning. And the taxpayers foot the bill.

I think Trump will declare victory, but Iran won’t stop until their terms are met.

• So a few months ago Millionss applauded to Trump when he posted: "The targets were OBLITERATED, absolutely OBLITERATED."

• And now they applaud as he talks about the ongoing destruction of the Iran nuclear program?

Who finds what is wrong here?

Why did Biden insist on high gas prices? There was no war choking off 20% of global oil supply thru Hormuz?

The woke/islamo-fascist alliance still hurtling along at full throttle. Luckily for Iranians and peoples oppressed by authoritarian scumbag regimes Trump is holding the tiller, and hope for change & freedom is real.

Well maybe if after seeing this CNN breaking news alert for Kuwait, the Dept of WAR may consider toning it down a tad now that the Iran war machine is in ruins.
