I mean, if we just forget about the fact that we’ve decimated their armed forces, wiped out of most of their key extremist leaders, put an enormous toll on their economy and ability to fund terrorism and build nukes, etc, then sure.

The Strait doesn’t even really matter to us. Almost nothing comes through it that we can’t produce on our own. And it’s strangling Iran’s own economy.

Opening it is mostly lip service and a red herring.

Let's not forget these accomplishments:
 
As of April 2026, the ongoing conflict following the Feb. 28, 2026, start of hostilities has caused significant civilian casualties in Iran, with reports indicating over 1,700 to 2,100+ civilian deaths resulting primarily from U.S. and Israeli airstrikes. Key areas, including Tehran and Hormozgan, have been heavily affected, with widespread infrastructure damage and over 3 million people displaced.

Key Civilian Casualty Data (As of April 2026)Total Deaths:

-At least 1,701 to over 2,100 civilians killed in Iran.

-Children and Women: Hundreds of children and women are among the deceased, including reported deaths of over 200 children.

-Key Incidents: A Feb. 28 strike on a school in Minab resulted in the deaths of over 150 civilians, including 120 schoolchildren.

-Impact on Infrastructure: More than 20,000 civilian structures, including homes, hospitals, and schools, have been damaged or destroyed.

Regional Impact:

-In addition to fatalities in Iran, the conflict has caused casualties in Lebanon (700+ deaths) and Iraq.

Contextual Details

-Conflict Start: The conflict, dubbed Operation Epic Fury/Roaring Lion, began on February 28, 2026.

-Data Challenges: Independent verification is difficult due to restricted access and internet shutdowns in Iran.

-Displacement: Up to 3.2 million people have been temporarily displaced within Iran.

-Health System Impact: Numerous hospitals and emergency stations have been disabled, with over 10,000 injuries reported.

The new goal in the war in Iran is to open the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump prioritizes himself.  Whatever is in his immediate self-interest is the only priority to him.

Right now, he's getting flack for high oil and gas prices.  So he desperately wants to do something about it.

Meanwhile, Trump's domestic policies, such as the wars on the poor and immigrants, are beginning to have similar effects here: increased homeless & food insecurity, loss of access to healthcare...

Is the war in Iran going as well as Custard tells us it is?

To be fair, US Intelligence is led by Tulsi Gabbard, so it's probably wrong

Bibi on 60 minutes last night trying his best BS to convince USA that everything is according to plan and social media is to blame for all the bad PR he's been getting.  I read it as a desperate effort to  pressure Trump not to TACO this week.

Social media is largely to blame. But that’s because they’re doing terrible shit on video, and then bragging about it.
