      They can’t hold out forever, but they only need to outlast Americans’ tolerance for $5 gas.

      The IRGC doesn’t have much regard for it’s citizens or how it appears on the world stage, it did after all shoot a lot of them in the face not long ago.

      Realistically they can last until the situation becomes so dire it’s a major threat to their staying in power.

      The US is (not without justification) getting the blame from the rest of the world for starting this mess without a plan beyond “we bomb them, then magic happens” and that’ll get worse over time as we haven’t fully seen the ramifications that are locked in *now* if the Gulf opens tomorrow never mind in a month or two.

      The IRGC doesn’t need to win, they just need to not lose and that’s a win. The US isn’t even coherent about what winning means at this point.

      This is why you don’t elect idiots to determine foreign policy.

      I wonder if the intelligence officer who briefs Trump on this will be wearing a bullet proof vest ?

      Can it stretch out to the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November as per Title 2, United States Code, Section 1?

      So, Iran doesn’t need to out run the bear. Just the fat kid soaked in honey.

      I really didn’t think Iran was of the ones to play offense. They are build to just stay there forever and defend. I absolutely think they knew they were on the brink of being attack constantly and they have been prepared.

      Trump can survive much longer than that. It’s just the rest of us that will suffer, but it’s a sacrifice he is willing to make.

      U.S. lost its collective mind when it asked its citizens to wear a mask (a minor inconvenience). I highly doubt they can outlast Iran when gas prices go above $7.00.

      All the Iranians to do is last until a new Congress takes over on Jan 3, next year. That is 241 days.

      A country that’s been starved and embargoed for 20 years most likely has back door shipping channels and customers willing to take on risk for discounts.

      We’re going to be in the middle east for another 20 year war, aren’t we?

      Fun! I mean if we get to fuel shortages I will happily do my part and work from home 5 days a week of if I must! Just doing my American civic duty!

      absolutely insane that there’s just a bunch of ships filled with raw energy just sitting around In the middle of the water….

      well half of us are struggling justifying if it’s worth it going to work everyday

      They also have a clear & fixed rate at which they beat Trump: the November elections. After this he & his administration will be constantly besieged with investigations.

      Didn’t need the intelligence geniuses to tell you that. It’s like the world already knew. Then again, Trump prefers to listen to Israeli intelligence than his own.
