the Iranians themselves already said they want to have talks to end the conflict.
"In detail, the Oman News Agency reported on Sunday that the Foreign Minister received a phone call from his Iranian counterpart, who expressed his country's appreciation for the Sultanate of Oman's constructive role and its ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at defusing the current crisis and returning to the path of dialogue and negotiation.
According to the agency, Araqchi conveyed the Islamic Republic of Iran's position calling for peace, noting that the Israeli-American attack on his country had exacerbated tensions and panic in the region. He emphasized Iran's openness to any serious efforts that contribute to halting the escalation and restoring stability."
the main demand from the US side was for Iran to give up all it's missiles with a range of more than 300km.
I find it quite unlikely that Iran would agree to this demand of basically disarming itself.
After seeing so much success to the leadership decapitation, I guess the US want to continue until the new Supreme leader died. It will continue until US gets what they want.
Don’t know if people forgot but one of the key demands is the total dismantling of their ballistic missile program. Besides, Killing Khamenei will only embolden the Israeli lobby and MIGA US politicians of both sides to pressure Trump to fully commit to all their goals. Iranian society and civil authority remains intact. No attempted coup or power grab from their cannon fodder ground assets has happened yet. So I find it hard to imagine there is any quick off-ramp or that the supposed talks will lead to anywhere.
Yes, the obvious conclusion is that some one is a very dumb bastard without an ounce of common sense. Really did they expect to kill the pope and win stupid prizes? At the minimum, the region of the gulf and Israel can expect to become somewhat unliveable at the bare minimum while the stock markets crash and the dollar cratering due to the actions of this dumb MF. It sucks that we don’t know the full extent of the damage in Israel but sooner or later, the truth will come out. After all how long can the Jews hold out when food the water end up being in short supply if this conflict continues. Someone is going to give….

You should give the West more credit than that.
The strategy does not require a quick victory. It just requires one of two things: 1) the regime to fall, or 2) the regime to sue for peace, giving up nuclear weapons in the process. Either will result in objectives achieved (degrading Iranian military infrastructure, killing key leaders).
The only condition for defeat is if the Iranian government neither falls, nor sues for peace, but is able to mobilize the country in an all-out war effort that forces the US to put boots on the ground and/or develops nuclear weapons. This is however unlikely. We've seen no signal that Iran is capable of a general mobilization or that if such a mobilization happened, it could successfully capture territory under constant bombardment by Western forces. We've also not seen evidence of Iran getting closer to nuclear weapons under the pressure of constant precision strikes.
The reality is that Iran might be angry, and people might now support the regime more, but it can't really do much.
The scale of damage to the global economy might be greater than Trump initially expected, but since he likely got his friends to short the market before hand, it's not going to really affect his interests.
Great, they sunk ships already docked. And destoryed the non existent Iranian airforce. This will totally have a effect. American generals have lower iq than a barn mouse, just because you can blow it up doesnt mean you should.
American embassy is also being stormed with guns in Iraq, and a patriot battery was hit extremely hard in erbil. These patriot batteries suck so bad, S-400 does 10x better than them.
