-Tulsi Gabbard warned in the Oval Office that killing Iran’s supreme leader would likely produce a MORE hardline regime open to acquiring nuclear weapons

-She said Tehran would rush to close the Strait of Hormuz and destabilize global energy markets

-She said Iran would strike U.S. forces and partners across the region

-Military leaders separately warned of casualties, munitions shortages and readiness problems for an overstretched force

-Trump DISMISSED the concerns in those meetings, and Hegseth and Caine said repeatedly they would navigate any complications…

-The tally at the 6 months: an estimated 3,000 Iranians and 18 American servicemembers dead, 756 U.S. troops wounded, damaged bases, drained oil reserves and shrunken stockpiles

-Bessent announced the goal is to collapse the regime under a campaign named Operation Economic Outcast

Go down that list line by line.

The IRGC now runs Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei sits above it with hardliners in every security post, parliament is drafting NPT withdrawal legislation, and the strait carries a fifth of its prewar traffic.

That is literally Gabbard’s briefing, delivered in order, and right on schedule.

He lost the argument to a Pentagon promising “decisive options.”

Asked in June why he took a temporary deal, Trump pointed to internal polling showing nearly 80% of Americans wanted the war over REGARDLESS of terms.

Six weeks later, support sits at 31%, gas is a dollar higher, and the strategy is still unclear, seemingly fluctuating between Truth Social tantrums and confused aides leaking contradictory reports, with no real end in sight.
