Sounds like a blitzkrieg.

How much laughing did you do during the Biden years? 2.0 will be 3 times worse.

I predict there will be a significant amount of SOF operations and a limited number of conventional boots on the ground before it’s all said and done.

That’s my thoughts as well. Airstrikes and missiles with SOF in targeted spots to clean up.

It will be interesting to see if we put SOF into Fordow to destroy it for the inside.

quote:Yes, they never stopped enriching. That was what the inspectors were for. Read the fricking agreement before you call people ignorant. They could only enrich to energy grade. That would supposedly increase over time. They were given funds that were previously frozen and most sanctions were lifted. That is why it was considered a bad agreement.
Some of you are so ignorant. Trump pulled out of the agreement because Iran NEVER stopped enrichment. They didnt start enriching after we pulled out.
They said they were not bound by it when we withdrew from the agreement. With no inspections they did what they wanted. But hey, we destroyed their capabilities, remember?
However, there IS a country that has never allowed inspections of their reactor nor signed a non proliferation treaty (that is not named Iran.)

SOF is already on the ground for weeks. There will be no conventional boots. Rangers, maybe, if absolutely needed to secure an area.

Eh, maybe. But what would they even be doing up to now?

Monitoring and preparing for tracking top Iranian officials

I’d wager the majority of our HUMINT is coming from the Israelis and other Arab partners in the region.

Ignore the pizza orders. Ignore the gay bar index. Ignore the memes.
Focus on the cargo planes.
At least 9 Boeing C-17 Globemasters are en route to the Middle East carrying weapons, ammunition, and equipment. These are not passenger aircraft. A single C-17 carries 77 tonnes of payload. Nine of them carry roughly 700 tonnes of munitions. Over 112 transport aircraft have moved toward the region in 48 hours. Forty aerial refueling tankers repositioned in a single window. 120 additional combat aircraft deployed. The total US air power concentration in theater now exceeds 500 fighters and bombers, the largest buildup since the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
You do not stage 700 tonnes of munitions for a negotiation.
Now layer the sequence.
February 19: Trump says 10 to 15 days.
February 19: Fifty-plus fighter jets move east in eight hours. February 20: USS Gerald R. Ford transits Gibraltar.
February 20: Trump aboard Air Force One says he is “considering” limited strikes.
February 21: Hundreds of personnel evacuated from Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
February 21: Iran designates EU militaries as terrorist organizations.
February 21: Axios reports Trump has been presented options to target Khamenei directly.
February 22: Graham publicly urges Trump to override advisers pleading against strikes.
February 22: Nine C-17s confirmed carrying weapons toward the theater.
CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou, who served in the Agency’s counterproliferation operations, is claiming his sources indicate a possible strike as early as Monday.
His sourcing is unverified and should be treated as single-source intelligence with all the uncertainty that implies. But the logistics do not require his confirmation to read clearly.
The hardware is moving on a timeline that is independently consistent with Monday through Wednesday execution.
Here is what the logistics tell you that the diplomacy cannot.
Diplomatic signals can be manufactured. Iran’s ISNA can quote unnamed diplomats claiming Washington accepted enrichment. Bloomberg can run the headline. Markets can reprice. None of it costs anything to produce and all of it serves Iran’s negotiating leverage.
Munitions transfers cannot be faked. A C-17 loaded with GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators flying from Whiteman Air Force Base to Diego Garcia or Al Udeid is a physical fact tracked by satellite, logged by ADS-B transponders, and visible to every intelligence service on earth. You cannot bluff 700 tonnes of ordnance across an ocean.
You cannot recall it without the world watching. And you cannot maintain it in theater indefinitely without either using it or suffering the most expensive loss of credibility in modern military history.
The dovish argument inside the White House is: use this as leverage.
The hawkish argument, now being made publicly by Graham after face-to-face meetings in Jerusalem, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh: use it before the window closes.
The market is pricing the dovish team winning. The C-17s are pricing the possibility that they lose.
407 kilograms of near-weapons-grade uranium. Zero IAEA access for 8 months. Iran rejected the 3-year enrichment halt. Iran rejected relocating material abroad. The deadline expires in days, not weeks.
When the diplomats talk, watch the cargo planes.
The cargo planes are not talking. They are flying.????????????????
