Well, howdy there, internet people it spell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump, Iran, minds, and questions.

As it appears like Trump is desperately searching for an off-ramp to his elective conflict,

that still has ever-shifting goals and justifications.

He's starting to be confronted with all of the reasons, even the administrations that were

incredibly enthusiastic about military adventurism, didn't go after Iran.

The mass of troops needed for ground operations, the multiple parallel government

structures, which is what led to Iran being referred to as three governments in a trench coat

here on the channel. Iran's ability to hit targets across the region and create U.S. casualties, which including killed and wounded,

is somewhere in the neighborhood of 150, and the strategic position of the country near the

Strait of Hormuz, are all beginning to strain what Trump undoubtedly saw as an easy operation.

Reporting broke that Iran has dropped some mines in the straight. And Trump posted to social media, quote, if Iran has put out any mines in the Hormuz

straight, and we have no reports of them doing so. We want them removed immediately.

If for any reason, mines were placed and they are not removed forthwith,

the military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before.

If, on the other hand, they remove what may have been placed, it will be a giant step in the right direction.

He then went on to say the U.S. was using high-tech means of surveillance on the strait and told them to stop.

But since his message is based on if Iran has dropped some mines,

Iran is unlikely to believe his boast, because according to the Post,

the President of the United States isn't even sure if mines were deployed,

which means CNN has better sourcing than the U.S. in Iran.

Even just a handful of mines in the strait will deter shipping and create supply issues.
