The US could do pretty much whatever it wants with Iran tbh. Iran’s entire navy is sunk. They have no functional air force. There’s also the obvious way to straight up finish them off, but the cost to Iran’s civilian population would be enormous and it would be unprecedented.

Then why did the US surrender just now instead of finishing the job? They have agreed to all of Iran's terms and imposed no terms of their own. And ships still aren't passing the Strait of Hormuz - why is that, if Iran has no military capabilities?

  • The US just forced Iran to stop launching missiles at ships in the Straight in exchange for halting bombing operations.

    • > The US just forced Iran to stop launching missiles at ships in the Straight in exchange for halting bombing operations.

      Interesting choice of words.

      Let's try this again: the US implored for a ceasefire in exchange for Iran to stop destroying the economic base of US vassal states in the region and allow ships to go through the strait to mitigate the impending economic disaster this will have on the US economy.

      Which one explains Trump abandoning all original demands regarding regime change and even threats to destroy civilian infrastructure?
