US clears Iranian mines from Strait of Hormuz- Trump - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " US President Donald Trump has said that the US Navy has removed or detonated all mines in the Strait of Hormuz - the vital waterway which Iran has largely closed since the beginning of the war in the Middle East. " 

Let's Get Real:

The Trump Oval will be touting this development in a failed strategic campaign, the military action has failed to move the Tehran Government, the only thing that will work is US ground troops, that is the one option that Trump is afraid to take, he genuinely is afraid of the loss of US Service personnel, Presidents should expect to lose troops, if they are going to be successful in foreign policy.  Trump is going big on global sanctions on Iran, we shall see if that works.  Trump and Putin are delusional, that is why they are friends, nuts like fellow nutters!

Iran's Last Chance - Trump - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 7.04pm post the following, " Trump warns this is 'last chance' for Iran to sign a 'good document' "

Let's Get Real:

How many times does the Tehran Regime have to LIE to Trump before Trump gets the fact that they cannot be trusted.  The Theocracy is leading Trump by the nose, he does not understand that he is being conned by Tehran, they are playing games, show a bit of leg then hit Tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.  Trump should watch the Path to War on HBO, LBJ an erratic President played by North Vietnam.  Trump could learn lessons from the Vietnam War.

Trump threatens Tehran Bridges and Power Plants - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 2.03pm post the following, " Trump threatens to hit bridges and power plants in Iran "

Let's Get Real:

This is a good move by Trump, put Tehran on notice if they shoot at any tankers in the Strait of Hormuz then Trump will take out civic infrastructure in Tehran.  This could force the people out on the streets, no power, no water, no bridges, make them more afraid of the US than their own EVIL REGIME, and bring down the theocracy in Iran, Trump could save future lives in the region and around the World.

More US STRIKES on IRAN - Update

Fox News:  Reports the following, " Trump orders fresh US strikes on Iran to weaken threats against Strait of Hormuz "

Let's Get Real:

The President has not listened for calls to have a pause, this is the right move by the Trump Oval.  The Trump Oval has to hammer Iran, force the Tehran Regime to talk or force it from power.  The Revolutionary Guard wants to fight on, the secular government wants talks, there are factions in Iran, Trump should force them in to talks.

10 Day Pause suggested in US - Iran War - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 12.34am post the following, " Mediators propose '10-day pause on strikes' "

This blog would not be surprised if Trump Oval goes for this pause, he has shown a yellow streak although the WAR, the Tehran will support it and then go back to hitting tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.  The Trump Oval would be foolish to go for this pause, it would allow Iran rest from the bombing, and they could hide their drones and missiles.  Thus kind readers of this blog should not be surprised if Trump starts his appeasement rhetoric again.  The US should be bombing the Iranian civic structures day and night, that means bombing bridges, power stations, airports, road, anything helps the Regime function.  A stop and go WAR does not help the US Military, it fact it causes frustration with the Oval Office.

New Strikes on Iran - Update

Guardian:  Reports the following, " US launches seventh night of Iran strikes as Hormuz conflict escalates "

Let's Get Real:

Thus far Trump has not bottled it, he has been chicken before, numerous times over Iran.  The US Navy should take out the Iranian civic structures from power plants, railways, bridges, anything that helps the Regime, Trump should be the President who took action and finished off the theocracy in Iran.

US hits bridges, airport, railways - Update

BBC News: Reports " Iran accuses US of hitting civilian infrastructure "

Let's Get Real:

About time the US taking out civic infrastructure of Iran, the power stations should be next, get the people out demonstrating against the Regime in Tehran.  The US should place ground troops on Kharg Island and Special Forces in to Iran, take out the remaining leadership or get Mossad to the job, win at all costs.

Trump replaces Strait of Hormuz TOLL, - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 4.16pm post the following, " Trump says US will take investment deals with Gulf states instead of fee for using strait "

Let's Get Real:

Another Trump u - turn, a good one for a change, you can't toll the Strait of Hormuz, that is what Tehran planned, one assumes the Gulf States were on the phone after Trump made the announcement on Truth Social.  Trump needs to win Iran, otherwise Iran will rule the Gulf States after the US Navy leaves the Region.

US hits Nuclear Facilitie Again - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 11.02am post the following, " US projectiles hit city close to Iranian nuclear facility, state media report " 

Let's Get Real:

This is a good move by the US, the US Navy should take out the power plants, railways and bridges, force Tehran to its knees, get the people out protesting, cause a civic revolution in Iran, the evil theocracy has to go, one way or another.  Lets hope Trump does not chicken out again.

Iran hits 2 tankers in the Strait of Hormuz- Update

BBC  News: Reports in its 6.34am post the following, " UAE says one killed in 'brazen' Iranian attacks on tankers in strait "

Let's Get Real:

This comes after another US strike on Iran, the Trump Oval has to finish what it started, that means no more stop and go attacks, there should morning and night attacks and the placing of troops on Kharg Island to take the oil from Iran.  The Tehran and appeasing media won't expect that, they all want talks, even if that means appeasing Iran.  Trump has to win this war he started.

Trump places new blockade on Iran - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 3.27pm post the following, " Trump says US reinstating blockade on Iranian ports  "

Let's Get Real:

This means the ceasefire is over, the blockade is the least bad option for Trump and it hurts Iran on the economic front and negates the US placing troops on Kharg Island.  The Trump Oval has to keep its nerve and keep the blockade going, he is charging 20% of the cargo as the US will secure the Strait of Hormuz from Iran.  Thus we shall if this works, one doubts that Trump can keep to this course.

Tanker Decline in Strait of Hormuz - Update

Guardian: Reports the following in its 11.02am post, " Traffic through strait of Hormuz plummets after US-Iran strikes "

Let's Get Real:

This can't go on, it will effect the Western economy sooner or later.  Tehran has shown its word cannot be trusted, it lies as it talks, the are playing a crafty game of waiting out Trump and the US Navy.   The Mid Terms are coming and the Democrats should win the House of Representatives, then we have two years of Trump investigations and Impeachment, followed by the 2028 Presidential cycle.

Iran BROKE new Deal with Trump

Sky News: Reports in its 2.44pm post the following, " Donald Trump has claimed the US and Iran agreed a deal yesterday, but Iran broke the agreement "within an hour" when it fired a drone at a ship. "

Let's Get Real:

The Tehran Regime lies or as postulated there are rival factions in Iran, the dovish secular government and the Hawks in the Revolutionary Guard.  The Hawks want to carry on the WAR, the Doves want some peace.  As stated many times, the theocracy cannot be trusted, they lie as they breath, and they have the Drones and will fire them on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.  TRUMP must take out the theocracy, its him or them that can win this War.

US hits nuclear plant - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, in its 12.29pm post, " Nuclear power plant targeted in new US attack - Iranian media "

Let's Get Real:

Finally the US is hitting power plants, railways and airports, the US should carry on, bring Iran to its knees, it is an evil regime that cannot be trusted, it has to be taken down, talks are useless, they break their word, there are factions, a secular government that is dovish and the Revolutionary Guard who want to fight on, Trump cannot afford to appease Tehran, his Presidency is on the line and his Credibility.

US hits Iran Again - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " CENTCOM says additional US strikes against Iran are underway "

Let's Get Real:

The attacks are at the same level as before, in the South near the Strait of Hormuz, no bridges or power plants hit in Tehran, no ground troops on Kharg Island.  Trump does not have the backbone to settle the Iran War once and for all, he has failed as other US Presidents have, cage and destroy the Tehran Regime, they are evil, and must be destroyed.

US to Iran tonight - Trump at NATO Summit, - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 6.00pm post the following, " Donald Trump warned the US is preparing to launch more strikes against Iran, after he said he considered the US-Iran truce to be “over”. " 

Let's Get Real:

This Trump playing games, will he carry through with his threat, this blog has its doubts, he has threatened Iranian civilization before and backtracked before the attacks.  The Trump Oval has to follow through, he has no Presidential Credibility on Iran, how many u - turns have we seen, more u turns than Sir Keir Starmer.  The American people support winners, appeasers and failures do not have good reviews, just ask Richard Nixon or LBJ.  Trump needs to win in Iran.

Iranian Leadership is Scum - Trump at NATO Summit - Open

BBC News: Reports in its 9.52am post the following, " Scum', 'sick' and 'over': Trump's comments on Iran "

Let's Get Real:

This Trump having another tantrum, he says the MOU is finished but still allows talks to go with Iran, how much will you bet that Trump will change his mind later, Trump has no Presidential Credibility when it comes to Iran, how many times he walked back threats, the Oval is erratic and bonkers, living in his own world.  Other Presidents would have finished the job, Trump is a chicken.

US hits Iran over hits to Tankers in the Strait of Hormuz - Update

Sky News: Reports in the 10.17pm post the following, " US launches 'powerful strikes' on Iran "

Let's Get Real:

Iran is playing the US for fools, it goes quite for a time the attacks tankers in the Strait, it is testing the US, if they will react, expect this to go on for weeks and months, one can assume they will attempt something big before the Mid Terms, think Tet in 1968, they might invade Iraq, to see if the US comes to the assist of an ally, or they could close down the Strait again just before the November vote, when incidents happen the Trump plays down the event, it does not want to go back to WAR with Iran, Trump started a War he could not finish.  The would be incorrect, he did when chicken, 12 US Service personnel lost their lives for nothing, any other President would have hit Iran hard, and taken down the Regime. Trump is a TACO President, history on not kind on appeasers or chickens.

Iran Refuses talks with the US - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " Iran refuses new US talks until MOU conditions implemented, Hormuz stays under Tehran's control " 

Let's Get Real:

Here again Tehran is playing the US, they want to see how far they can push Trump Oval.  Trump Oval promises the furies on Iran but never follows through, Tehran Regime knows it is safe, that Trump will never take action, that Trump is more afraid of the Mid Terms and the Democratic investigation will happen should they take the House.  The War was a strategic blunder that was made worse by Trump not following through, if Trump did not have the backbone he should not have started the War in the first place.

Are there talks in Doha between the US and Iran - Update

Daily Mail: Reports on a disagreement between Iran and the US on a planned meeting in Doha over the MOU.

Let's Get Real:

The Revolutionary Guard is playing Trump and his Administration, POTUS so wants a winning deal that he is living in his own World.  The Trump Oval wants out of the WAR he started, he has no understanding of Middle East politics or culture.  As in the US there are hawks and Doves in Iran, the Hawks are the Revolutionary Guard, the Doves in Iranian terms is the chosen secular Government.  The talks are meant to be about Iran's nuclear stockpile, Tehran wants to talk about the MOU and its meaning.  The Trump Oval is being played by diplomatic masters!
