US hits Iranian tankers near Kharg Island - Update

CNN: Reports " Tehran threatens vessels in Bahrain, Kuwait after US strikes Iranian tankers near Kharg Island "

Let's Get Real:

This is pointless by the US Navy, as the article notes this is in response to an Iranian attempt to shoot at a US Navy vessel.  These strikes do not win the War and help Trump in political terms before the Mid Terms in November! It has been postulated that Iran will increase these attacks before November, they hope to hit a US Navy ship, they want to pull a Tet offensive of 1968 but at sea.  Trump has blundered in to the Iran War and won't follow through, it needs ground troops in Kharg Island, otherwise Trump is big loser.

Iran COUNTER STRIKES - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 9.07pm post the following, " IRGC says ‘regretful response’ to US attacks has begun "

Let's Get Real:

The Tehran is testing the Trump Oval, Trump promised a heavy response should Iran Counter Attack, will will Trump do, follow his rhetoric through, or fold again, if history is a past example, he will fold again, Trump is the weakest President since Carter.   The Tehran Regime has time, Trump does not, the November Mid Terms, then we start the cycle for 2028.  The limelight will be off Trump, he will hate that fact.

US Attacks Iran - Update

CNN: Reports " US military carries out new strikes on Iranian targets "

Let's Get Real:

Either Iran reacts or does nothing, if wise and that is questionable they will not act, thus a limited operation from the US.  Trump has no Presidential Credibility any more, his harsh rhetoric on Iran is not march by military reality.  The Tehran Regime can outlast Trump, the Oval has to worry about the Mid Terms that should see Democrats take the House, even the Senate is a possibility, then in depth investigations by the Democrats and the start of the 2028 Presidential Election cycle.  

Aircraft Carrier to be named after Trump - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 1.29pm post the following, " Navy considers naming carrier for Trump instead of Black war hero as planned - report "

Let's Get Real:

This is either coming from the White House or Trump officials in the Defence Department are wanting to get bonus points with Trump.  This is a bad idea, the Democrats have jumped to attack Trump and the Republicans will have to defend it before the Mid Terms in November.  The original name was to honour an African - American Naval hero of Pearl Harbour 1941.  The honour is well deseved, Trump should rule it out, he is trying to change Washington D.C to honour him, Trump is delusional and needs someone to show him reality.

PAUSE in US - Iran War - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 2.23pm post the following, " Iran war, day 150 - hopes of peace talks grow after strikes paused for two days "

Let's Get Real:

This is a mistake by the Trump Oval, he listening to VP Vance, an idiot who stated that WW2 was bought to end by talks, as we know both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were destroyed, the Allies demanded and got Unconditional Surrender.  The Trump Oval has to destroy the Tehran Regime, it is EVIL, you do talk to EVIL, Chamberlain found that out in 1939.  Thus the US should restart bombing in till the Tehran Regime does surrender.

US - Iran Strikes - Update

BBC News: Reports " Iran says it has carried out drone strikes on US military facilities and bases across the Middle East in retaliation for the 13th consecutive night of American attacks on the country. " 

Let's Get Real:

This WAR can only end when the Tehran Regime is taken down by Trump.  If Trump can keep his nerve he will be the President that the Iranian problem.  CNN and the left wing media are acting like the Appeasing UK Times of the 1930s.  They seem to have forgotten that the Tehran Regime killed over thirty thousand of its own people when they protested against the Regime.  Trump should ignore the Media, and win the WAR, he can restore Presidential Credibility and take it to the Democrats in the Mid Terms.  This is Trump's one chance at greatness!

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.

Tehran CRITICAL of the US bombing - Update

Guardian reports in its 11.57am post the following, " Iran accuses US of 'barbaric attack' near children's cancer hospital "

Let's Get Real:

Is this even true, Tehran lies as it talks, it could get the Western media to be more critical of Trump, not that they need a reason.  The US Department of War has to be careful with targets, it does not want another school attack, the CIA should check targets, the US Navy has to hit harder, and the placing of US ground troops in Iran is next.

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 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 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.

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!

US and Iran Stand Down over Strait of Hormuz - Update

BBC News: Reports " The US and Iran have agreed to "stand down" following an exchange of strikes over the past few days, media reports cite a US official as saying. "

Let's Get Real:

Thus it seems that when Trump talks tough he does not mean it, the threats seem to frighten Tehran, that is a good thing, why any one would be afraid of Trump is beyond this blogs Understanding or reason.  The US Navy cannot stay near Iran forever, to make sure they keep to their word.  The Tehran Regime will ACT when the US Navy has left or Trump is no longer in power or his powers have been curtailed by a Democratic Congress after the Mid Terms!

US and Iran in more ATTACKS - Update

BBC News: Reports " The US has conducted new strikes on Iran, following a drone attack on a Panama-flagged vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday. "

Let's Get Real:

As stated in previous post, Tehran is playing Trump, to be more precise the Revolutionary Guard, the religious hawks wanted the WAR to go on, even the suppose Supreme Leader has placed the success of the MOU in the hands of the President of Iran, a dove in Iranian terms, but the secular government has to be careful of the Revolutionary Guard, they play for keeps. Thus the War goes on.

US HITS Iran over Ceasfire violation - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 9.56pm post the following, " Pentagon says US 'conducted strikes against Iran' on Friday in response to strait of Hormuz ship attack "

Let's Get Real:

This is the Revolutionary Guard playing Trump, in Iranian terms they hawks, they wanted to fight on, thus incidents like this will happen from time to time.  The US agreeing to the MOU was a strategic mistake, Iran now knows it has Trump over a barrel when it comes to the Strait of Hormuz, they can close it when they like, and Trump is to chicken to place ground troops in Iran to finish off the Regime.

Trump on Iran - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 5.00pm post the following, " Trump threatens more strikes on Iran after US helicopter collision with Iranian drone " 

Let's Get Real:

POTUS is talking tough, he has done that before and not followed through with his threats.  Trump is chicken, the money markets are clever, that is why they call him a TACO President; Trump Always Chickens Out; all the Tehran Regime has to do is out last Trump.  This blog feels sorry for the Iranian people and the thirty thousand of them killed by the EVIL Tehran Regime, nothing lasts forever, the Regime will FALL, if the USSR can fall, then the Theocracy will fall, it is destined to fall, Evil falls sooner or later.

US hits Iran after helicopter Loss - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, "  US begins 'self-defense strikes' against Iran, CENTCOM says  "

Let's Get Real:

If the Tehran Regime is sane, that is open to question, they will not react to the US counter attack because of the helicopter loss, they will carry on with talks they are winning, the TACO President wants a way out before the Mid Terms in November.  The erratic President sees the Memorandum of Understanding as the goal no matter the consequences for the Gulf States, Israel and the World.  Trump will go down as another Neville Chamberlain, an appeaser who did not see the threat out there.  The Iranian nuclear issue will face the next President, in that time the Tehran Regime could have a nuclear weapon.

Iran Shoots down US Helicopter- Update

Sky News: Reports in its 5.43pm post the following, " Trump says Iranians shot down Apache helicopter over Strait of Hormuz "

Let's Get Real:

Thus POTUS says the US must respond, he told Israel not to react when Iran targeted Israel with missiles, on this the TACO President must respond, the US cannot have countries thinking they can shoot down US assets, even if no loss of lives.  POTUS must also remember his fabled peace talks are on the table.  Thus what will Trump do?

US takes down Iranian drones and Radar sites - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " CENTCOM says US forces shot down 4 Iranian attack drones near Strait of Hormuz: 'Immediate threat'.....CENTCOM said U.S. forces later struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island “to defend against further attacks.” "

Let's Get Real:

What ceasefire, these low level attacks is WAR by another name.  That being self defence.  The Trump Oval has a duty of care to the US Navy in the Middle East, Trump if he was not chicken should restart the WAR with Iran.  They have made it clear that the WAR will not stop as long as Israel is in Lebanon.  There is only so far that Trump can stop Israel.  Thus time to finish off the Tehran Regime, while it's weak, even if that means GROUND TROOPS in the end.

Iran hits US base - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 4.48am post the following, " Iran targets US airbase " 

Let's Get Real:

How will Trump Oval react, it will depend if there are any injuries or deaths at the US base.  The ceasefire is very fragile, it really depends if the sides want a deal, or is this shadow boxing before a return to War?
