As you are aware, the United States has been engaged in reducing Iran\u2019s ability to cause trouble in the Middle East for a few months. There have been a lot of pauses, cease fires and some tit for tat engagements. Iran, for it\u2019s part, is claiming they have defeated the United States. You also have a number of Iranian fellow travelers on the left parroting Iran\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/e5\/66\/a7\/e566a7488cd4545ae0104317672ba558.jpg\" width=\"476\" height=\"410\" \/><br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The truth is different of course. Iran\u2019s military infrastructure, at least that belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corpse, has been effectively destroyed. The Strait of Hormuz is firmly in the hands of the United States Navy and they are now escorting shipping in and out of the gulf.

It looks like that the Trump Administration has decided to outright crush Iran\u2019s economy, along with selective strikes inside Iran. Now the civilian leadership is crying uncle and wants to cut a deal. <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/08\/23\/us-news\/irans-top-civilian-leaders-push-for-cutting-a-deal-with-president-trump-to-end-the-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Here are the details from the New York Post<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Iran\u2019s president and parliamentary speaker are both publicly pushing for the country to end the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/08\/22\/world-news\/traffic-through-strait-of-hormuz-skyrockets-nearly-400-in-2-weeks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">war with the US<\/a> as they grapple with hardliners who favor resistance. <\/b><b>Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned that mounting economic pressure on Tehran is taking its toll, while cautioning against \u201chumiliatingly\u201d backing down \u201cbefore the enemy.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201c<b>The war must come to an end at some point,\u201d Pezeshkian said in a speech Friday, per state media. \u201cIt is better that we demonstrate our strength and dignity today and tell the world that we have won and that we are ending the war.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/5f\/3e\/9e\/5f3e9effc6204a4d555b0d45a81b53e6.jpg\" width=\"488\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s government is not some much split as flat out broken. The IRGC, which is made up of smooth brain fanatics, absolutely won\u2019t quit. They literally do not care how may Iranian\u2019s die. The level of fanaticism is on par with that of Imperial Japan on August 1<sup>st<\/sup>, 1945. It took two nuclear weapons being deployed to convince the Emperor that they had lost and it was time to surrender. Even then, many in the Imperial Army were prepared to fight on, even if it meant the annihilation of Japan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Since the memorandum of understanding collapsed, President Trump has maintained a blockade on Iran, cutting off the regime\u2019s ability to sell oil, which had been its top source of revenue.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The only place Iran can ship their oil is to Russia and they really don\u2019t need it. Russia is also having trouble shipping out it\u2019s own oil. Between sanctions and seizing the Russian \u201cBlack\u201d fleet, not to mention the Ukrainians sending drones to blow up the Russian oil infrastructure, selling Iranian oil is going to be almost impossible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201c<b>I was in the presence of the Supreme Leader, and in his speeches as well, he openly stated that we must move beyond this state of \u2018neither war nor peace,&#8217;\u201d Pezeshkian claimed, per a translation referring to Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, who hasn\u2019t been seen publicly since the war in Iran began.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201c<b>We are not going to humiliatingly back down before the enemy or bow our heads.

An end to Iran\u2019s nuclear program, ending all support for terrorists such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis and a few other details. I don\u2019t think the civilian government will mind if this also forces the disbandment of the IRGC and getting rid of the Mad Mullahs that have rivaled some of the worst of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century totalitarian tyrants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Ironically, Khamenei <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/world\/iran\/iran-elevates-veteran-hard-liners-signaling-confrontational-approach-t-rcna591783\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recently elevated hardliners<\/a> in Iran who lean towards resuming war over officials who favor trying to cut another deal with the US.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>First, there have been no public pictures of Khamenei since the compound where he, his father and a good chunk of the Iranian leadership was leveled by an Israeli airstrike. The reports are, if Khamenei is not dead, he was grievously wounded. It\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess if he\u2019s actually running anything.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>But similar to Pezeshkian, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf underscored the national security risks Iran faces if the theocratic regime continues to deal with a full-blown economic crisis.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201c<b>No matter how much military power we have, if people are hungry and we do not have financial circulation and economic growth, we will not endure,\u201d\u00a0Ghalibaf said, per Iranian state media. \u201cAs someone who has experienced war, [I] understand the true value of peace.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>And it can get a lot worse. We have not been targeting the civilian infrastructure. That can change very easily, and if it does, all the power stations will be destroyed, water systems wrecked and the transportation system needed to get food and other supplies into the cities cratered. There has been some discussions on if, and when we should escalate to this level. If we do, Iran as a modern country is ended. The cities will very quickly become uninhabitable and people will leave looking for food.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/47\/dc\/13\/47dc13aee4878e65bf9e865eb5c3e729.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Trump has long made clear that his primary goal is to ensure Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon.
