President Trump released the following message via Truth Social:
“We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts in the Middle East with respect to the Terrorist Regime of Iran: (1) Completely degrading Iranian Missile Capability, Launchers, and everything else pertaining to them. (2) Destroying Iran’s Defense Industrial Base. (3) Eliminating their Navy and Air Force, including Anti Aircraft Weaponry. (4) Never allowing Iran to get even close to Nuclear Capability, and always being in a position where the U.S.A. can quickly and powerfully react to such a situation, should it take place. (5) Protecting, at the highest level, our Middle Eastern Allies, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, and others. The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it — The United States does not! If asked, we will help these Countries in their Hormuz efforts, but it shouldn’t be necessary once Iran’s threat is eradicated. Importantly, it will be an easy Military Operation for them. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

U know whats worse than a forever war? Not finishing the job that’s what.
What exactly is ‘finished’ to you?
End the threat once and forever!
There will always be threats.
Turning something into a less serious threat is actually doable.
A forever war???
It should have never started. Negotiate. Telling someone do as i tell you or else doesn’t work. Its embarrassing we were pushed into attacking Iran.
pushed. into. attacking. Iran.
After 47 years of Iran attacking and killing thousands.
The mad Mullahs are never negotiating away their ICBMs or development of nuclear warheads. Never. You can’t bribe them. Obama tried that. FAIL.
Like Obama. And then give them money to fuel Hamas, Hesbollah, Houthis etc……..Yea, that negotiation worked.
Share with us and describe your view of things yet unfinished.
Heck yeah. It’s time for a draft! Send in the troops.
Russia and China are next.
What makes you think more troops are useful? Has Ukraines sacrificing hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder achieved anything? How many US servicemen and woman are actiually fighting in the war with Iran? I don’t think a draft would be even useful today, let alone politically possible.
IDF can handle the ground force attack.
You didn’t verify sarcasm
Bourbon eye bags…..????
You know good and well that Pres Trump does not drink alcohol. He works long hours with little sleep.
I love how President Trump couches everything he says. We are “close“. We are “considering“.
Notice neither of those words conveys anything concrete or definite. Maybe we will, maybe we won’t.
Quick poll: If Marines are stationed on a number of large and small islands off of the coast of the Iranian mainland, that does not constitute “boots on the ground”
[ ] Agree
[ ] Disagree
[ ] What’s an “Iran”?
Or how ’bout this one… I heard somebody on Fox actually floating this narrative… “If the Marines stay on the ships in the gulf and only make periodic incursions on the mainland to carry out operations, then, technically, that’s not ‘boots on the ground'”.
Who cares; we need to do what’s needed. This pontificating over the use of ground troops is ridiculous.
Trump continues to be proven correct on many things, yet the pontification continues….it’s getting tiresome.
Please elaborate.
I’ll bet you said the same thing about the success of the ol’ 12 day war
Your biggest mistake, is your source “Fox”
MSM shows like Fox and The View are controlled opposition. Fox is guarding the henhouse.
A US MEF securing any island recognized as Iranian territory, will constitute boots on the ground.
Trump Demands Gulf States Pay $5 Trillion to Fund War Posted Mar 21, 2026 By Martin Armstrong |

It is being reported that Trump has delivered an ultimatum to the Gulf States that “If you want the war to continue – 5 trillion dollars. If you want it to end – 2.5 trillion dollars.” Omani journalist and international relations researcher Salem Al-Jahuri, on BBC Arabic, confirms reports of US pressure on the Gulf Cooperation Council states to make them pay, regardless of the circumstances.
Digging in a garbage dump is just going to produce more garbage, “on BBC Arabic”
If they want to end the war it will cost less. Iran sent a missile or two from Yemen to kill MBS several years ago. During the Obama Bennan admin the Marines were in Yemen and Obama made them drop their rifles and fly home commercially IIRC.
You need to check your sources. ”

Political bias is everywhere these days, even with some previously claiming MAGA affiliation.
Regarding the Iran war, Patrick Wood has a good explanation:
https://patrickwood.substack.com/p/imec-trumps-war-with-iran-is-about?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
It’s all about the trade route starting from India, through the Straight of Hormuz, on to railways through Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Gaza. New deep water ports in Haifa, Israel, and in recently demolished Gaza, and then by sea to Greece. Controlling this trade route for oil and goods and splitting India away from the BRICS alliance is worth trillions of dollars over decades. There is a proposed new canal (the Ben Gurion Canal) stretching from the Red Sea and across Israel. This canal through Gaza would eliminate the need to unload/reload cargo from rail to ships multiple times, but they will still use railways because they need multiple ways to transport goods. A railway through Saudi Arabia, Jordan (a tiny section of Jordan), and Israel is the option described by Patrick Wood. Developing and expanding both of these trade routes would explain why Prime Minister Modi from India seems to be helping Israel. India could deliver their products to Europe more easily. Europe would gain greater access to Middle Eastern oil, which it needs because it is getting less oil and natural gas from Russia (Germany has shut down nuclear plants, and the Nord Stream gas pipeline has been shut down). Shipping through the Red Sea with the proposed Ben Gurion canal seems the cheapest way to get goods from India and oil from that region to Europe. For the record, I’m now anti-Trump (I am pro-RFK) and especially anti-Jared Kushner, who will benefit tremendously from all of this because they are teaming up with the global oligarchs to develop these trade routes. Trump lied to us to make himself, his family, and the oligarchs rich by using US taxpayer money to militarily secure and build these new trade routes that they control. Democrats will win future elections by telling voters to look at the stupid Iran war that Trump started. The trans-national oligarchs want the Republican Party weakened and destroyed because the republican voters have the most critical and free thinkers and are the hardest to control. The oligarchs can use the $trillions gained from this war to build the technocratic control state. The more people who understand the technocratic-AI-social credit score-tokenization plan, the less they will be able to control us. In a nutshell, all of this explains the war/genocide in Gaza, the wars in Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, and Lebanon, the 2003 war in Iraq, the 2011 war in Libya and Syria, and the fall of the Assad regime in 2024. It also explains Jared Kushner’s involvement in negotiations with Russia and Iran and his role in negotiating the 2020 Abraham Accords, which helped normalize diplomatic, economic, and security relations between Israel and several Arab nations, namely the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco. According to General Wesley Clark in 2007, citing a document he was shown in 2001, the US planned to attack seven Middle Eastern countries in five years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. Iran is the last of the 7 just listed to experience a significant war.
The fact that this Iran war:
-Helps Europe gain cheap oil and cheap goods from India (helps Europe, India)
-Creates a trade route that generates $billions for globalist oligarchs (helps oligarchs build the technocratic/social credit score state)
-Decreases natural gas sales to Russia from Europe (hurts Russia)
-Reduces China’s access to Middle Eastern oil (hurts China)
Begs the question: How does it help the US, given the risks to people and the world economy?
One side cannot arbitrarily call ally ally infree unless the other agrees. Can they?
SLAPPED DOWN: Trump Just Told Israel AND NATO NO! — Here’s Why
President Trump publicly rejected Israel’s strike on Iran’s South Pars gas field and criticized NATO for refusing to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, arguing both reflect a long-running “Great Game” strategy centered on energy choke points and instability. Susan Kokinda says these moves follow Trump’s December National Security Strategy, which prioritizes avoiding “forever wars,” preventing adversaries from dominating Middle East energy routes, and making choke-point leverage obsolete through American energy independence. She highlights administration comments that Israel “doesn’t hate the chaos” while the U.S. wants stability, and notes shifting U.S. political dynamics as figures in both parties question allies who won’t contribute. Kokinda points to new U.S.-Japan agreements—over $60B in U.S. natural gas investment, $40B for small modular nuclear reactors, and deep-sea critical minerals cooperation—as the model for a new, nation-to-nation strategic architecture.
Israel & most of the Jewish community threw their fellow Holocaust victim Orthodox Christian Serbian people under the bus during the Nazi Nato Clinton Admin’s Op Gladio in the 90’s-2000’s reconstructing 13 & 21 Nazi SS divisions. After 9/11 and some of the hijackers coming out of the Bosnian Jihad the Baal Globalists helped orchestrate they had to hide their criminality even more as at least 2 of hijackers came out of the Bosnian Op Cyclone II jihad program.
Jasenovac
https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/jasenovac
Other Jewish sources have the Holocaust Serbian victims as closer to 1 million. The state of Israel was founded on the Holocaust. What was done to the Serbian people in the 90’s was more than just shameful it exposed the lack of sincerity and the politicization of the Holocaust and makes Antony Sutton’s & Carroll Quigley’s exposure of Wall St funding the Nazis and Bolsheviks more important to understand the real agenda for the horrors of WWII & the Holocaust.
Time for the Kurdish army. I wouldn’t want to be a mullah.
I wouldn’t hold my breath. We’ve screed the Kurds enough they should be wary of any fools gold form the U.S, gov
Once we have Kharg Island, we will keep it. That will enable us to control 90% of Iran’s oil exports, and it will bankrupt the IRGC, which relies on that income. Then we keep hold of the spigot to insure that new Iran governments remain subservient to US rules, as President Trump outlines. Think Venezuela writ large.
This is a wild take
How much land and what is the terrain on the land bordering the strait?
That sounds like a good plan to recoup the cost of setting back Iran for everyone nearby and the US in the near future. A permanent presence would a little to risky imo.
Kharg will be extremely hard to defend, for anyone stupid enough to go and squat on it for an extended period.
And that is how it’s done folks.
It’s a feint to the enemy. Good move!
Yes!
Now is the time for full scale invasion.
Our domestic health is of little to no consequence.
Okay
Where’s the uranium?
Our possession of it will bring the war to an end. Not before, after we have secured it.
Since PDJT has done so much for Israel, its lobby AIPAC, the Jewish community, and Bibi/Likud, why hasn’t Bibi & Aipac etc reigned in Schumer & Co and order them to help PDJT & his MAGA agenda? Why they haven’t should be the biggest question on every MAGA patriot and even Democrats minds. What is really taking place with this Hegelian Dialectic Uniparty binary political system they have set up here and in most other ‘cucked’ Western “Democracies” who are being overrun and enslaved?
Pro-Israel protesters call on ‘traitor’ Chuck Schumer to resign: ‘Chuck the Chuck’

Jewish voters will vote 90% Democrat no matter what President Trump does for Israel.
You ever wonder why Democrat Roosevelt turned away Jewish refugees during the Holocaust? Its tied into how Wall St financed both the National Socialist Nazis & Bolsheviks.
We are so greatly blessed by all the blessings we’ve given Israel. That is undeniable!
Maybe
I’ve read elsewhere that the DNC is allying itself with the muslims much like Starmer aligned himself with the British muslims to maintain his government.
Supposedly that’s only 1% of the US population in totality so it’s definitely time for voter ID!
A little late. As soon as I read majority leader, I looked back up at the date and it’s from 2024. Now Mandani is in and the Jewish bloc or a good portion votes democratic in NY no matter what scumbag is running. If that’s not a true statement, we definitely need voter ID! We need it anyway.
Chuck has to pretend. His votes depend on it.
The people of Iran are going to rise up….
https://nypost.com/2026/03/21/world-news/iranian-protesters-say-revolution-is-just-around-the-corner-everyone-is-waiting/
FTA:
“Two Iranian protesters who survived the regime’s brutal crackdown in January told The Post that it’s only a matter of time before the people take back their government.
“The protest that will happen will be something extraordinary, because the hatred people have for [the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] after the massacre is extremely intense,” a woman currently living in Tehran told The Post.
The woman, 43, said the horrors she witnessed from her own government during the protests will haunt her for the rest of her life.
“Brains and intestines and internal organs had been splattered all over people’s faces . . . things that no one could forget for a very, very long time,” she said.
“It was the most brutal crackdown imaginable,” said a second protester, a 37-year-old Tehran tattoo artist. “They were just shooting people. They didn’t really care if someone was part of the protest or not, or just passing by.”
Both Iranian citizens spoke on the condition of anonymity because they fear for their lives. They were interviewed by The Post this week by phone via an interpreter.
The Islamic regime is estimated to have killed more than 36,500 protesters during massive demonstrations that broke out across the country in January. The woman said as many as 2 million people were in the street the night she was out.
The Iranians told The Post that the vast majority of the country supports the US and Israel as they continue to dismantle their repressive regime.
“We are totally, one hundred percent, thankful and grateful for this. . . . I would say more than 90 percent of the people are grateful to Trump and thankful to the USA,” the man said.
“The only time people become worried is when the number of missiles [decreases], when the noise stops — then for several hours everyone gets stressed thinking [a ceasefire] is going to happen again,” the woman said.”
More at the link… they are waiting on Reza Pahlavi to give them the signal to take back their country!

If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116269822349947644
President Trump said he’s giving Iran 48 hours to open the vital waterway or face a new round of attacks. He said the U.S. would destroy “various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!”
Humanitarian Impact on Iranian Civilians
A U.S. strike on Iran’s power infrastructure would cripple essential services across major cities, including Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz. The destruction of power plants would lead to widespread blackouts, disrupting access to clean water, refrigeration, heating, and medical care.
Hospitals already strained by war casualties—over 2,000 killed and 21,000 wounded in Iran since the conflict began—would face catastrophic failures in life-support systems and vaccine storage. Long-term outages would halt industrial production, shut down schools and businesses, and paralyze transportation networks. With 220 medical centers already evacuated due to prior strikes, further damage to energy infrastructure would deepen the humanitarian crisis.
Iranian refugees will become Iran’s greatest export product.
If you think recalling the armada ends this you’re very wrong. You stirred up the hornets nest and they are going to come after you.
I thought the cost of freedom is eternal vigilence. THAT is the forever war. SSDD.
lol.
Such a troll-master, that boy.
Nobody’s better at getting their enemies to rise to the bait.
When will people ever learn? TAW.*
*Trump Always Wins
Have Christian Zionists processed the fact that the ostensible leader of Zionism holds the scorched earth, realpolitik tactics of Genghis Khan in higher esteem than Jesus’ more peaceable approach?
According to Netanyahu, ‘history proves’ the failure of the ‘Jesus approach’. After all He died, leaving behind a world just as vile as the world He was born into.
If it’s finished (or almost done according to President Trump), why the request for 200 billion more?
For Lockheed Martin, the MIC and the retro commissions that go with it?
In January, before the current conflict began, Fox News was already reporting various agreements, including a tripling of PAC3 MSE interceptor deliveries, finalized between Lockheed and the War Department. https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/lockheed-martin-ceo-company-pouring-billion-missile-output-after-trump-defense-push
No bias, only a question to reflect and take the view from a higher perspective.
I’m sorry Mr. President, but Bibi will let you know when this is over. I’m sorry.
