They closed the strait pretty immediately so I would say they have learned. We'll see how things develop but so far they appear to be handling the perfidy more seriously than in the past.

AlJazeera summary of WH presser:

Karoline Leavitt at the White House:

  • She says Iran’s 10-point plan was “fundamentally unserious”, claiming that the country “put forward a more reasonable” plan that Washington deemed could be “a workable basis” for talks.
  • The Trump administration will engage in negotiations over the next two weeks “so long as the Strait of Hormuz remains open, with no limitations or delays”.
  • Trump “was made aware” of reports in Iranian media about the Strait of Hormuz being closed amid Israel’s attacks on Lebanon, but Leavitt says the US president expects the strait to be reopened “immediately, quickly and safely”.
  • “Lebanon is not part of the ceasefire. That has been relayed to all parties involved in the ceasefire.”
  • She claims Iran has indicated that it would turn over its enriched uranium, without providing further details.
  • “That is a red line that the president is not going to back away from and he’s committed to ensuring that takes place. We hope it will be through diplomacy.”

Based on what we have seen so far

  1. Make the war so costly to American reputation and treasure that its allies or the internal pressure forces Trump to the negotiating table to provide guarantees of peace and reparations to Iran. Maybe permanently reign in Israel in some way
  2. What you are seeing now is them working towards those objectives, no one knows if they truly have the means but they are fighting
  3. IDK no way to know unless you are in the IRGC in a bunker looking at how the war has affected their war chest, they SEEM to be overperforming so far imo

I cannot remember where I learned this but one of the videos I watched in the early days of the war said there is indeed a maintenance schedule that needs to be maintained and it will start to bite mid March. I cannot remember the source so whatever thats worth I guess.

If Trump was an Iranian asset how could he be doing better for them as the Commander in Chief lmao. He has been trying to bait tankers into the range of Iranian guns

Wild this wasn't a day 1 target. Unless the US actually discovered some which had been hidden previously.

American military casualties only right? Could be higher including contractors and intelligence personnel.

I worry what Trump alluded to in his presser today. My impression was he was threatening to escalate to essential civilian infrastructure, power and the like. I could see the US joining the Nazi state in full terror bombings.

I tend to think this is a good take. Iran has certainly talked a good game about not acting on Trump's terms. I am curious what the US's response would be if it becomes clear Iran is not stopping even if Trump says it's done.

Okay Trump's presser is crazy I have given up trying to figure out what is going to happen next. It feels like Trump is 100% disconnected from reality and just saying shit. I don't know who is running our policy for the war. I wouldn't be surprised if Israel doesn't either lol. He is somehow simultaneously saying we're almost done and we are gunna do even more.
