The strategic objective was always clear: Iran cannot be the next North Korea. Period. That means no nuclear program, no ballistic missile program, and no more proxy wars. President Trump’s critics keep acting like Iran has time on its side. They don’t. Their economy is in shambles because our... blockade is working and we have persistent eyes and targeting options on everything they do. That is called escalation dominance. For 47 years, Iran’s regime relied on the assumption that America will hesitate, overthink, and eventually concede to a bad deal. That assumption changed. Yes, the Strait of Hormuz matters. But the main strategic objective is much bigger. Defend the homeland and protect our allies. So, no, Iran is not “winning.” America holds all the cards.show more

Dan will never talk about anything other than war and death because without these things, he's a nobody.

So we have not completed the strategic objective & the Strait of Hormuz is closed. Where is our win?

Iran wasn't building a nuclear bomb. But because of crazy idiots like you they would be crazy not to.

go fishing or something dude...no one cares what you think anymore.....you destroyed all of your bonafides..

You’re a fucking moron. Trump has made a mess of this shit. He would be lucky at this point to get the JCPOA he tore up.

Yeah, BULLSHIT ! Who controls the straight of Hormuz idiot?

100%! Iran can never have nuclear weapons. But Americans must realize Iran will never surrender, so we’re going to have to do, what we’re going to have to do. We don’t want this, but it’s necessary, because the alternative would be catastrophic.

“Their economy is in shambles because our blockade is working and we have persistent eyes and targeting options on everything they do.” JC squidward, stop wondering why you’re soon to be unemployed.

This was the least of the reasons for the US/Israeli attack on Iran. Nukes came later to justify the failure of regime change. When will Americans start to realise how their Epstein class politicians operate and who they really work for.

Why can't Iran get nuclear bombs, but it's arch enemy Israel can have them??

Dumbfuck Dan spewing more lies and bullshit. Pedo protector say what?

Dan? America's economy is CRASHING OUT too. All thanks to the @GOP, sundowning, unhinged, fascist 34x convicted Felon In Chief @POTUS.

So does the U.S. have the will and assets to keep status quo for years? How does the U.S. win the war from here? We have gotten ourselves into a quagmire of our own making.

As usual - so easy to say the words but how to actually enforce it. Bomb them every 2 years when the missiles have been replaced spending billions of taxpayer dollars every couple of years? Iran has even more incentive for deterant now and can easily rebuild everything

You spent a lot of time and and a lot of words to really say: “I’m just doing what Jews want me to do.”

I dont know man, trump has been hesitating and overthinking for over a month now, he keeps making threats wihtout following trhough and clings to a ceasefire that only benefits them.

Well said !! Listening to LIb tards and fake news anti American media - you Might not think so. But Trump and the team have done amazing job. USA Military - the best!!

I wish Crenshaw would be more forthright. You can't negotiate with these lunatics. The strategic objectives are only possible with regime change.

Maybe all that's correct and probably is. But that doesn't excuse Trump burning up his credibility with constant pull backs. Iran will never negotiate in good faith. While there are many potential scenarios, without active support from our Gulf Arab "allies" they amount to three potential: 1. In coordination with Israel and maybe the UAE, resume an active military campaign and take out all military and dual use infrastructure. Take out leadership that is stalling any possible negotiated peace. If possible find a way to restore communications to the Iranian people and arm them. In conjunction try to persuade the regular army to protect the Irani people. 2. Keep the blockade up and starve the Iranian economy. 3. Just leave. Full pull back including our bases in any Gulf Arab countries. We're done and they can live with a violent militarized Iran across the Gulf. If Israel wants to go it alone, fine. But the US is out of the Middle East. In any of those three (and numerous more obviously) scenarios the Administration needs to stop talking and making fake threats and then immediately undermine themselves. Never negotiate with yourself and that's exactly what this looks like the last six weeks. Embarrassing.

But you can’t achieve these objectives. The best that can be done is to delay nuclear for sufficiently long time for Iranian people to pivot…that was the idea of 2015 agreement.

North Korea isn’t attacking anyone but because of a nuclear deterrent they aren’t being attacked either.

The problem is that Trump keeps making threats but never backs them up. He lets Iran keep dragging this out.

Representative Crenshaw is telling it like it is. Finally he is with the US and agrees with President Trump that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, nuclear dust, ballistic missiles, and funding terrorist proxies. Give Representative Crenshaw a hell ya! MAGA

No one said Iran is winning the war. But they don’t care if their population goes without enough food or electricity. Our own intelligence said they weren’t pursuing or close to having a nuke, so we look bad to other countries as we cause economic problems for them

Gaslighting eyepatch Lindsey Graham is full of shit. The goalpost has moved so often on the Iran war that it’s now in a completely different football field.

I hope you're right. Because I feel that Trump is desperate to surrender to the Iranian regime and is only begging for a nuclear-related face-saving concession. Judging by his endless empty threats and fake deadlines.

I don't understand all the negativity toward Crenshaw. He's presenting a helpful military perspective. We need those. We get tons of clueless civilian perspectives all the time.

Weird Trump wasn’t so obsessed about nuclear when he campaigned. By the time we end up paying for this war, we’ll have nothing left so nuclear or not who cares

Iran will still be here when you are gone Cyclops McCain.

What a non serious person. "Yes, the Straight of Hormuz matters... America holds all the cards". Literally contradicting himself in one breath.

Oh, we have all the time in the world!!!😂😂😂 Why Trump TACOed again!! 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮

I don't think I'm off by thinking the Iran leadership have put away to take care of themselves, and really could not care less what happens to their people and economy, because they will blame that suffering completely on America.
