This one is talking like the REST of the World have the brainpower of a Trump Supporter.

10% of your power and you TAGGED along with ANOTHER Country.

10% of your power and the COMBINED Military Powers of both said countries were UNABLE to open the Strait.

10% of your power and you had to BEG NATO and the WHOLE WORLD to join you in combat.

10% of your power and you had to RESORT to BLACKMAIL and threats on CIVILIAN INFRASTRUCTURES to get an "obliterated" Military to open the Strait.

He needs to go back to FAUX News.

Options or power? If he truly meant power then thats bad news. A world power should have more than 900% of what was used on I-ran in stock. The USA needs to restock ASAP.

It will take years to restock what was expended on Iran in this short war.

Despite all your humongous budget, you can't sustain a battle with Iran for just 1 moth.

Kept asking for the umpire's bell.

10% indeed, what of your munitions stockpiles that can not be returned to the pre-war levels, even in 8 years.
And If china plays hard with rare-earth minerals refinement, add another 10 years to your munitions fiasco. Political talker!

Great Britain was a robust military and economic empire like never before seen in terms of spread and cultural dominance, until humongous expenses of two world wars almost set it back to a common European state!

The US is playing the exact script, reallying heavily on Petrodollarisation and endless subscription of it's treasuries. Humongous war bills and reckless politicians like trump comes from time to time, and That's how great empires pave way for the next.

Gerald Ford and Abraham Lincoln fled and you still have the audacity to say you used less than 10%

What else where you suppose to deploy that didn’t get obliterated?

It was just EMBARRASSING.

Iran brought out the BAMBIALA in the US.

grin

They were just BEGGING for stuff up and down.

The US has 19 Military Bases in the Middle East, yet Iran had them BEGGING the UK for bases.

They BEGGED Romania for base.
They BEGGED Spain for base.
They BEGGED France for base.
They BEGGED Italy for base.

As if that wasn't DISGRACEFUL enough, they BEGGED Ukraine for interceptor drones.
They BEGGED Poland for Air Defense.

They SNATCHED Air Defense from South Korea.

After begging for all of these, they still BEGGED NATO to come help them open the Strait.
They BEGGED Australia.
They BEGGED Japan.

They went through ALL their allies begging for assistance to open the Strait.

When begging their ALLIES ended in FUTILITY, they turned to their "ENEMIES".

grin

They begged CHINA.
They begged RUSSIA.

The A in the USA now stands for Almajiri.

We'll see what happens.

Iran claimed they'll never negotiate with US. You guys boasted that Iran will never make a deal. They won't talk to US. Trump will be frustrated and come crawling to beg. Those who were boasting soon forced their people to form human shield around infrastructure so that they can claim world sympathy if Trump makes good his threat. Trump gave them an ultimatum and promised to kill their civilization and they caved in. Agreed to deal and opened the strait. You guys twisted it, claim Trump chickened out.

Wow. Do you guys really think everyone is so foolish like that?

If they've closed it again. We'll see what happens. Lets watch.

Iran never officially said for once that they would never make deal with the US. They only stated that they rejected certain proposals from US.
Where do you guys get your news from?
By the way, major key analysts, including some ardent Trump supporters, agreed that US lost the war. Going by what we have on ground, none of the objectives of US/Israel attacking Iran was met. There was no regime change in Iran - it's still the same government in Iran, with just some minor reshufflings. Opening the Strait of Hormuz was never part of the initial objective. Now that Iran has locked up the Strait again, we expect Trump to wipe off a civilization.
Oga, Netayanhu just carry Trump blokkos put for boiling oil.

US supplied Ukraine weapons
US supplies Isreal iron dome batteries
US supplies the EU weapons
US supplies South Korea weapons
US supplies the GCC weapons
US supplies Taiwan weapons
US has 800 bases worldwide

The amount of guns in Texas & Atlanta alone is more than Iran.

If Isreal has been fighting for 4 years nonstop how do you imagine the US has lesser weapons than Isreal.

We should root for peace. Be objective. I support the US but killing every soul in Iran but the IRGC is falling into the errors of the ayatollahs.

90% of terrorist drones and missiles shut down!
Israeli pilot beautiful girl used your airspace to host air show
Israeli and USA fighter jets danced in your airspace for days.

You still get mind to claim victory!!

Open the the links you posted and read them up. Read with intent to understand context. What the Chief of Security in Iran said was clarified to mean that they would not negotiate under certain conditions; not complete and outright refusal.
Re: We Used Less Than 10% Of Our Combat Power On Iran -highest (pics) by Gadafii: 6:57am On Apr 09
Meanwhile your air defense systems in the region are either crippled or completely destroyed by Iranian kamikaze drones


The famous iron dom in Israel was tired out after few days or relentless barrage if cheap drones and rockets.

Americas military budget for a year is almost bigger than the entire fiscal budget of African nations, imagine using certain percentage of that humongous budget yet you couldn't open the homuz strait without asking for truce?
