I guess we have to move our entire fricking military and half the U.S. citizens to the Middle East before we strike.
It’s a bluff. Trump isn’t going to do anything.

If Ayatollah says something nice about him, he will turn around. He looks indecisive now.

Pussing out would be the opposite of this. You are claiming that Trump’s actions are achieving Trump’s goals. How is that “pussing out”? If Trump wanted the Mullahs out and backed away from that, THEN he’d be pussing out, but that is not your claim.

According to TousiTV an Iranian air-force colonel has publicly defected. Other military officials as well are following suit. Some appeared publicly and made the announcements.

That's been pulled back. Apparently pre planned event.

“Midnight Hammer was a very specific mission,” Lt. Gen. Jason Armagost, the Deputy Commander of Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC), told reporters at the Mitchell Institute Airpower Forum on Thursday. “It was like a play in a game. It wasn’t the game writ large.” Iran responded to Midnight Hammer, U.S. strikes last June against its nuclear sites, by launching a small ballistic missile strike against a single base in the region, in an attempt to still look strong to domestic audiences but to also deescalate tensions with the United States. If the United States were to undertake a major air campaign against Iran, Maloney and others say, Tehran would respond with as much firepower as it could muster, deploying its arsenal of short and medium-range ballistic missiles against U.S. and Israeli positions across the Middle East. Iran would also likely mobilize its proxy forces, directing Shia militia groups to launch attacks in the region. Israel has battered Hezbollah in Lebanon and defeated Hamas in Gaza, but Tehran could encourage Yemen-based Houthis to target tankers and launch drone and missile strikes against civilian and military infrastructure in the region, and Iraqi militias and extremists groups in Syria could also mount attacks against U.S. Forces. - The Wall Street Journal

Any deal with the Islamic regime would amount to President Trump throwing a lifeline to the Khamenei regime. My assessment is that this is not where things are heading.
The regime will not dismantle its nuclear program. It will not abandon its terror proxies. It will not give up its ballistic missile arsenal. President Trump has been explicit about his redlines, and Tehran did not just cross them, it blew past them. The regime showed him exactly who it is and how it operates.
The scale and tempo of U.S. military movement over the past week/s point to an approaching operation. I do not know the exact timing, but the trajectory is clear. This is moving toward a showdown.
The real question is why the delay?
President Trump understands that negotiating with the Khamenei regime is futile, so the delay is not about diplomacy. It is about preparation. The U.S. has significant exposure across the region. There are at least 18 U.S. bases that require protection, while only 7 THAAD systems are currently available. That imbalance matters. It strongly suggests additional air defense deployments are imminent.
There is also the regional dimension. Yemen, Iraq, and Hezbollah could all enter the fight, dramatically complicating the operational picture. That scenario demands tighter coordination and additional planning. Finally, there is the element of surprise. The U.S. is clearly trying to shape the battlefield before the first move is made. In short, everyone involved understands the talks will produce nothing. The delay is about force posture, risk reduction, and setting the conditions for decisive action with maximum surprise.
It’s happening, just a slight delay.

It’s a tough call that is going yo be second guessed when Iranian society goes into chaos. Theire will be a period of chaos no matter what happens here.
I don’t envy making this decision.

Yup, I'm sure they can recall what happened to their people in Syria the last time they messed with Trump.

Trump is a fricking moron for posting that. He’s responsible for thousands of dead Iranians who thought he was coming to their rescue, not letting weeks go by after it’s all died down.
