After 47 Years Of Asymmetric War, We Finally Have A President Who Understands

The Islamic Republic Of Iran was founded after a revolution overthrew its monarch. That revolution was aided and abetted by a cabal of western countries, including France and America (thank you Jimmy Carter!), and various leftist political groups that found Iran's embrace of the West and Israel to be unacceptable.

Soon after the Shah left Iran and his replacement failed to consolidate power, the Mullahs rushed in. They had been fomenting revolution for years, and the most fanatical of them, Ayatollah Khomeini, seized power and promptly imprisoned or murdered his political opponents, in particular the starry-eyed leftists who saw Iran becoming some sort of progressive Nirvana.

They were wrong, and instead Iran became the epicenter of Islamic terror, with its tentacles spread across the world. They also created proxies within other countries to facilitate their expansionist goals in the region. Much of the Islamic terror that spread through the West could be traced to active or tacit support from Iran and its theocratic dictators. They also created a comprehensive surveillance state within Iran, and ferociously enforced their version of Shia Islam. Other religions withered, women were cast back into the 7th century, murder, torture, and rape became a tool of the government, and it was all supported by the insatiable thirst for Iranian oil, coupled with the typical leftist support of anything that degrades traditional Western culture.

Iran's targets were Israel first and foremost, and America. Little Satan and Big Satan, and they didn't pretend anything different. For 46 years the goal of the dictators of Iran was the destruction of Israel, the destruction of America, and a global conflagration that would usher in the end times that would return their 12th Imam, a tenet of Shia Islam.

It was war against Israel, America, and the West, but the flaccid thinkers and accommodationists who passed for western political elites wouldn't, or couldn't understand that there was no accommodation to be made with a theocratic dictatorship whose goals were clear. So they mostly ignored the war, accepted the casualties, and hoped that kicking the can down the road would eventually moderate the savagery of the Iranian government.

They too were wrong, and Israel's behind-the-scenes work to degrade the Iranian nuclear program was the only thing that kept the West from a third World War, this time with nuclear weapons.

That is, until the election of Donald Trump!

Trump's courageous decision to face Tehran head-on

The strongest argument that President Donald Trump’s political opponents can muster to decry his decision to order American forces to join with Israel to act against Iran is that he is launching a “war of choice,” rather than seeking to avert an imminent threat to American interests or security. Even his sternest critics, such as the editorial page of The New York Times, acknowledged that the government of Iran is not merely a brutal oppressor and a constant threat to the rest of the Middle East as well as to the West, but also combines a “murderous ideology with nuclear ambitions.”
Every U.S. president for the last quarter-century has asserted that America will never let Iran get a nuclear weapon and was prepared to use force to prevent that from happening. But only Trump seems to have fully grasped the stark nature of the threat that Tehran poses to the United States—and the world.

The goal...perhaps the only goal...of the Iranian theocracy was the production of nuclear weapons to be used against Israel, America, and probably Europe. Any other interpretation of their actions is arrant nonsense or willful ignorance. The Iranian dictators were excellent practitioners of the Muslim penchant for lying and misdirection, or "taqiyya." And the world was content to be fooled!

But not President Donald Trump. In fact, his own brand of American taqiyya seemed to work rather well on Iran, whose leadership was surprised by the attacks of February 28th. The Iranians assumed that their own obfuscation would buy them time, and that their own attacks on American installations, Israel, and a few other Arab nations in the region would be on their timetable.

Whoops!

Israel's decapitation of the leadership, combined with a massive degradation of Iran's military infrastructure that only America could achieve, has created the opportunity for another revolution in Iran...one that will hopefully usher in a government that will consider the welfare of the Iranian people to be paramount.

If the American and Israeli attacks continue, and if the dictatorship's power base is damaged enough be attacked from within Iran by whatever coalition is being cobbled together, and if that coalition can create a functioning government, and if its neighbors do not begin to meddle, then the Iranian people have a chance to become what they once were, a vibrant, energetic, successful culture!

There are a lot of "ifs" in that paragraph, and there are no guarantees, even with the staunch support of America and its clear-eyed president! But it is difficult to imagine an outcome that is any worse than the current state of affairs.

But the established world order has come to an end. Iran will not be the dominant player in the Middle East, and will find it increasingly difficult to continue its evil ways around the world, even if by some malign turn of events the theocracy survives.

And...hopefully...President Trump is parsimonious with American treasure, and does not commit to a rebuilding of Iran at the expense of the American taxpayer. It is the Iranian people who should do the work!

The people of Iran are being given a chance to take back their country and once the military threat is eliminated we need to leave them alone to figure out how they want to proceed.

64 The current situation shows why the US needed to wait til now to strike. A military strike at the time of the protests would have been one and done, there weren’t enough assets in theater to do more.

But now the tempo can be sustained for days, even weeks if necessary. The leadership is decapitated, air defenses are down. Next priority is eliminating all missile launch sites in the country, and all naval assets which can threaten Hormuz. They are widely dispersed, and this will take some time.
Third priority is to methodically eliminate every military base inside Iran, of which there are dozens. With all of those goals accomplished, Iran may be ready for a new government.

Only two real contenders; Erdogan and MBS. Erdogan has the military might and the will, but he’s a Turk, not an Arab, and the Arabs haven’t forgotten what it was like the last time they were ruled by Turks.
That leaves MBS, mainly because he controls Mecca. Since he’s friendly with Trump, we could do a lot worse than him.

75 Four weeks ago the Trump administration decapitated Venezuela by capturing Maduro. Today, you have to search for articles on Venezuela because the Trump administration had a plan for what came after and it didn't include us having an occupation force in Venezuela and funding a rebuild of the country. Venezuela has plenty of money to rebuild their own country.

I doubt the Trump administration went after the Iranian leadership without a plan for what comes next and just like Venezuela, Iran has plenty of money to rebuild itself. The Powell Doctrine is over. If we break your country it's because you fucked around. We can provide assistance and advice but you will pay for your own rebuild.

80 The follow up bombings must be occurring, but I have not seen any news about new attacks. Trump said they would go on (continuously?) for a couple weeks, I think.

If we (and Israel) have assets in the sky over Iran 24/7, I'd guess any rockets launched would quickly receive a response on the launcher. One place they said Iran had like 100 launchers left ... or some such thing.

One of the reasons just about more than anybody else I wanted to see that Imadickinajar asshole get smoked. He was one of those "students" who took our people hostage in '79. Yeah, it was started by iran, and ended by trump. Iran should have been a smoldering atomic hellscape in '80 as far as I'm concerned, but nobody had the balls to do it.

83 When all is said and done, and 'peace' has once more been established in Iran (I prefer 'Persia'): WHICH of Iran's neighbors will believe they have the 'right' or the 'might' to pick up the mantle of 'Middle East Master'?

------

I don't think mastery is workable. If everything comes off more-or-less well, Israel will certainly be first among equals for some time to come. They'll be able to tip the scales, but not command events as a regional hegemon.

Eventually some Sunni country will come to the fore as the big dog among the Arabs, and challenge that. My guess is Saudi - but Egypt is no joke, either.

TAMPA, Fla. – As of 9:30 am ET, March 1, three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury.

Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty. Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing.

The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.

Think about the chain of events, though, and remember these people were in a much darker media blackout than even we were.

We had many weeks since they first hit the streets late last year.

In that time, they had a mass uprising, fueled by Pahlavi's and President Trump's rhetoric, and subsequently and quite gruesomely crushed by the IRGC and Basiji. And more rhetoric from Trump - but nothing compelling enough to go out in the street and get beaten to death by a subliterate monkey man over.

These people probably had very little knowledge of or confidence in the carrier group in the Arabian Sea, or the other one steaming toward them. Just words, and dead bodies.

It'll probably take a minute for them to absorb the new reality and have the nerve to go out and start raiding the mosques for regime holdouts.

This was posted a few days ago by myself, and also by others who are experts in the field. It certainly makes sense that the number one sponsor of terrorism in the world would have been lying in the weeds, ready for the events in play now.

X: https://bit.ly/4cin9tr

What 'Threat', you ask? Well, how about this. 18,000 fighters. I will repeat that number.

18,000 known or suspected terrorists are here, now, in America. That's the current estimate from Director Joe Kent of the National Counter-Terrorism Center, who just testified to that effect recently before Congress. They infiltrated across our open borders during the last four years of the Biden Admin.

Most of these combat-experienced fighters are from the Middle East, Africa, and Indonesia, war-torn countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Mali, and Somalia. We are looking at not just shooters, but suicide bombers and "Fedayeen" (they fight to the death-never surrender). Many are Al Qaeda trained terrorists from Afghan training camps.

3 dead, 14 wounded at Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden. Quran in his car. Islam-motivated probe underway. Possible Iran retaliation ties.

This is NO coincidence. Pflugerville is the EXACT suburb I’ve been sounding the alarm on...

My exposés: Islamic Center of Pflugerville (Mohammadi Masjid) expanding aggressively - Pakistani-trained imam, $1.34M in shady funds, isolated Sharia enclave, full-time Islamic school, segregated spaces, and sermons DEMANDING halal certification as Sharia economic jihad!

“For the first time in Operation Roaring Lion, air force aircraft are operating over the skies of Tehran,” Katz said, targeting regime and repression sites.

Israeli strikes had previously relied on stand off weapons. The shift follows claims of air superiority and having “opened the way to Tehran.”

Very bad direct hit on home today in Beit Shemesh.

The boom I heard 3-4 minutes ago sounded like the one that caused all the casualties earlier at noon.

Lots more multiple explosions just now, more distant.

Very much so. It means openly operating over the skies in Iran 24/7 and each time a missile launcher pops up for Iran, it and its crew get splattered. They have more missiles than their launchers and crews so no launcher, the missiles themselves are useless.

It also allows id of those hidden missile magazine bunkers where the B-2 Spirit bombers are locating and methodically destroying.

Iran is not going to have a missile force going forward.

You’re not gonna believe this latest story. Over the past few years mossad undercover agents infiltrated as doctors and dentists in Iran. The Dentists gave priority to. Key military, and elite Iranian personnel. While doing a routine dental check up, they implanted tracking devices as fillings for cavities. On the other side, Gastro doctors implanted similar devices in their elite patients. Yesterday mossad knew exactly where each one of them were ( komayne’s wife and family members included )and sent missiles at them. Over 400 elite military in government personnel were eliminated in the first few moments ( maybe that’s one of the reasons why they knew where he was hiding )when Israel attacked."

Translated from Hebrew
Dozens of Air Force fighter jets completed another wave of strikes in the skies over Tehran, during which the General Headquarters of the Internal Security Forces was attacked—a facility that served as a command and control center responsible for linking the command echelon with the Iranian terror regime's forces in the field, and which also led the brutal suppression against the Iranian people.

In addition, the "Tharallah" headquarters was destroyed, which had served as the command for defending Tehran against military threats.

Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin: “[Israel] and the U.S. military have effectively suppressed the air defense systems or IADS over Tehran… The U.S. military carried out 900 strikes in 12 hours. That might be a record. The Israelis carried out 1,200 strikes in the past 24 hours, more than during the entire 12-day war last summer.”

It's interesting how many Mormons we know travel to Las Vegas.

I guess they are going to visit family.
