One, he wants the Iranian leaders to again lie about not killing protesters which gives the U.S. the moral high ground   Two, we didn’t have enough resources in theater. I suspect there will be three carriers and whatever assets the U.S. and the GCC nations and some of our allies provide.   Three, getting the GCC nations on board. Message to the sheiks. We’ve sold you all this high tech hardware, you’ve spent and we’ve helped you learn how to use it. Now it is time to execute.   Four, intelligence is being gathered so we can strike command and control and leadership of the IRGC, Iranian armed forces and the Basji at the same time or at least in rapid succession as well as shut down their comms.   Marc Liebman https://www.marcliebman.com https://www.facebook.com/marcliebmanauthor/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_sDoFQM5wupNaCeGIvKL1g     From: Mike Brattland <mgbrattland@gerlecreek.com> Date: Wednesday, January 21, 2026 at 12:10 PM To: HeloBubbas <helobubbas@helobubbas.com> Subject: [Helobubbas] Trump Seeks 'Decisive' Options for Iran as Assets Move Into Middle East   https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/trump-iran-military-options-b49429c4?s...
