Yep. No negotiation with a nation having no intention to live up to the terms of anything it signs.

But the doves bought Iran's act. And the President always thinks a deal can be cut (That might be a problem with a Marxist Congress arriving on the scene.).

The only thing the Iranian government understands is an ass kicking. Appeasement doesn't work with these Twelver scum. And we've seen how well bribery worked under Obama and his Autopen.

End their government and those in it, preferably before any Democrat shows up to service Iran as they have done multiple times before.

Ok, so this is a little surprising to me.

The RC-135U ELINT is heading to the Middle East.
This is rare as the U.S. has only two of these specialized aircraft in its inventory.

“Russia agreed to supply Iran with 90 launchers for the advanced guided missiles widely used by its forces in Ukraine, a sign of Moscow’s military support for Tehran despite the demands of its own sputtering war effort.

Or paused after February 28 until after the election

I saw that report, which notes a production schedule for 2024-2025, so not sure how broadly current that would be. The Russians wouldn't be delivering anything 'for free' today, and I doubt the IRGC has an outlay of cash for this sort of weapon.

A production schedule for 2024 and 2025 from a major Russian defence manufacturer, seen by the FT, details an export order for the helicopter-mounted launchers to a buyer identified by a code name used in Russian defence documents to refer to Iran…

Both types of launcher [APU-L and APU-305] are designed to carry Russia's light multipurpose guided missile, known as LMUR or Izdeliye 305, a precision weapon capable of striking moving targets. First unveiled at Russia's Army Expo in 2021, the missile entered military service in 2022 and has since been widely used by Russian forces in Ukraine."

And it's based on some 'Dallas Analytics' reporting, which I've never heard of. I don't think any Mi-28's have been used in the gulf/strikes, at least per Grok;

Quote:

No. There are no reports of Iranian forces using the Izdeliye 305 (also known as LMUR or Product 305 / Kh-39) missile in 2026.
What has been widely reported today (5 November 2026) is that Russia agreed to supply Iran with 90 APU-L helicopter-mounted launchers designed for the Izdeliye 305. These reports come from the Financial Times (and subsequent coverage by outlets including The Guardian, The Insider, Militarnyi, and others), based on leaked Russian defense production documents from Vympel (part of KTRV) for 20242025, obtained via the Ukrainian firm Dallas Analytics.
Key details from those reports:
The buyer is listed under the Rosoboronexport code "K-10," which is used for Iran.
Deliveries were scheduled from late 2024 through December 2025.
The APU-L is for Mi-28 attack helicopters (which Iran already operates; photos of Mi-28s in Tehran appeared in January 2026) and can carry two missiles each.
None of the documents or reporting confirm that the launchers (let alone the missiles themselves) were actually delivered. Multiple outlets explicitly note the lack of confirmation of delivery.

I think the Iranians only have a handful (maybe 3?) of Mi-28's left in any case, if any though I suppose these could somehow be bolted onto an Mi-8 or some such.

BREAKING: A US fighter jet has just struck an Iranian surface-to-air missile launcher on Qeshm Island with two missiles, after an Iranian missile was launched at the US fighter jet, per multiple initial reports.

Iranian state media has confirmed the explosions.

It is the second…

edit to apologize for the RT tweet. But what the heck, it's likely true.

We've been conducting strikes for weeks. Not widely reported.

Sounds like they took a shot at one of our aircraft, and we shot back. Again.

Been going on for a while. Iran trying to see if they can get us to do more than trade a missile shot back and forth.

We need to just finish them. Go ahead and get after them for a few weeks and go into 2027 with a new year and a treaty or agreement with a new regime of some form.

I mean, what do you have to lose at this point?

Not sure why we can't just keep the blockade going and the status quo. Their economy is in the toilet and getting worse.

Agree. It's either do it now or go back in 8 years and do it again.

Reading some of the comments on those tweets, they are full of bots, bleeding heart liberals or CNN fans. Mention iodine tablets and they assume we are launching nukes as we speak or bombing every nuclear facility they own. The propaganda is working...

Wow. Senator John Kennedy.

How is this not everywhere.

Nobody believes this anymore. It's alot like the no flights from months ago. You go on flight radar and it's the same Normal air traffic. I can't believe that anyone is still believing this administration. They could have at least shut down the flight tracker apps or made it so Iranian planes didn't show up. If you watch the shipping apps you can find Iranian gun boats. Do better with the misinformation. We control all tech I would think Israel has some sort of program that could delete flights and boats from tracking apps. Give me better propaganda please.

I doubt any sort of negotiated exit from this will be favorable to the US now. I doubt Iran will give up control of the strait and force everyone to pay into their protection racket. So we'll end up worse off than before all this started.

Trump's latest mistake was thinking the midterms would go well and force Iran's hand. Well, it didn't. So now he's even worse off than he was a week ago. Should have just bombed them to the stone age and left before the elections.

We won't or don't have to if we don't wont to. We only get about 2% of oil from there and if they tell us to pay just launch some missiles at them as our couple of boats are sailing by.

we've resorted to Americas Most Wanted tactics to try and defeat someone we supposedly have already annihilated

I just went on FlightRadar24.

There are currently 10 aircraft over Iran right now and 3 of them are just overflying Iran and going from NOT Iran to somewhere else.

The others look to be internal Iranian flights. We never stopped those. We just told every country in the world that we would sanction them if they let an Iranian plane land or let a plane leave their airports to go to Iran. So there are none of those anymore.

So, you're 100% wrong.


BTW, there are hundreds of flights right now skirting Iranian airspace.

At some point we have to stop playing team America world police. Let these other countries have some skin in the game.

If they are still able to be a nuisance after all we have destroyed I imagine they were cranking out crude weapons in mass quantities. There has to be some evidence that they were capable of reaching longer distances of I don't think we would have acted prior to midterms.
