Anyone else starting to think that the help to the protesters from the USA or anyone else is going to arrive too late?
If they keep delaying they will very likely miss the wave. That is a problem due to the optics of Trump's post saying we would take action if "X" happened. Well, it has happened, and now Trump is in a bit of a corner.

Whats the latest? Isn't it daytime in Persia right now?
Protests continue. Regime has deployed the military and is using lethal force. IRGC is searching hospitals and arresting anyone with gunshot wounds and taking them out of hospitals even if they still need treatment. Some reports are saying that another 1000 protesters were shot last night but I don’t know if I trust that number.

The ambiguity of that phrase — stated publicly — can be a knife that cuts both ways.

They hope that the regime crushes the revolt, so they don’t have to do anything. Bombing alone will not help the protesters, they need boots on the ground to fight the Iranian army and the revolutionary guard.

Bombing the military bases, ruling leaders, and command centers certainly will help. Trump likely knows exactly who to target and where they are. All the US assets need to be in place before anything starts. You think the Venezuela operation buildup happened in a few days?

If tweet fails to load, click here. Not seeing much about this but it would be a turning point if true. The regime only regained control of some of the smaller cities because the army came in with guns blazing.

The bombing won’t be enough. I don’t trust the CIA to have the intel. I think it’s too late to help the protesters. They needed to get everything in place much earlier. The regime will survive.

Wrong. Sunset was around 5:10pm.
It’s amazing that most people just can admit they are wrong

If tweet fails to load, click here. Better hurry up. IDK how long the protests can continue with resistance. The EuroMaiden protests lasted months but only faced gun fire on a few days of that protest.

Wonder if we would get units to go in and restart electric and internet? That would help their people communicate and resist better.
Then get weapons in hands of resistance. The heavy lifting on ground must be citizens taking over. If successful that would last longer due to spilled blood.

Mossad is the big boy in the ME, not CIA. It wouldn't surprise me that Mossad isn't buying remaining IRGC leadership off or unliving some others. They are all new since last summer.
It takes time to get PROPER assets in place for a successful operation. Sheesh. The nearest carrier was last in the Asian theater as recently as a week ago.

There will still be kill squads going after the protestors unless the leaders are taken out. The protestors needs to be armed to fight.

Dude, clean up the dangling modifier...your topic sounds weird.

Apparently kill squads on both sides...

Israel has plenty of motivation to do everything possible to see the nutjob Jihadists overthrown.
