I’m predicting either a lending of the bunker bombs and the ability to launch them to Israel or the US will strategically get involved within the next two weeks. The timing of the third aircraft carrier arriving will probably dictate that. US posturing is not actually about Iran surrendering, it’s attempting to delay break out. I’m sure they would accept it if Iran did.
Iran is very quickly being put in an untenable position, regardless of what they do. I am predicting probably we will see regime change following this, although that is predicated on the assault I’m predicting.

I read yesterday that the UN has censored Iran for breaking the pact and pushing ahead with their nuclear bomb development. Iran also lost a lot of mojo with the UN members over their sponsorship of the Oct 7 attack on non-combatant civilians. Without their UN buddies to run interference on any votes Iran is increasingly isolated. Now about those Chinese 747s that were flying to Iran… wondering why?

I predict that if President Trump authorizes force against Iran, we will be told that he did so in order to ensure peace by crippling Iran's ability to make war.

I predict we don’t get more involved than we currently are. No bunker busters lent or used.

The threat is, of course, standing there if Iran gets uppity. But that's always the case with America.

UAE and Saudi Arabia are probably very happy they got their orders placed for THAADs.

Well, technically if we strike Iran it will be to eliminate Iran's nuclear weapons capability, not its ability to make war. Those are two different things.

The real question is, what will be the next step if the first step (air strikes) fail? What is the end game here? Short of occupying the country with 5 million American troops and annexing it as an American province, how do we insure that Iran doesn't regain nuclear capacity? What would that process look like?

Or if air strikes fail, do we just walk away and shrug and say "oh well, we tried Not our problem now."

i’m perfectly comfortable with an older, wiser, more docile Trump.

Maybe. I think the president likes winners and show of force, he may wait to see what path offers him the most swagger.

News is reporting that B2 bombers are being moved to Guam, which puts them into striking distance if Trump decides to deploy them.

My sources actually put them at Diego Garcia or in route to there along with quite a few fighters as well.
