I watched Trump’s Press Conference today.
The latest plan: a hard deadline (Tuesday night) for Iran to meet U.S. demands (including reopening the Strait of Hormuz and broader concessions).
He warned the U.S. could “Take out” Iran or “the entire country… in one night”
Would Launch large-scale strikes on infrastructure such as:
power plants
bridges
He indicated the U.S. already has detailed plans ready to execute quickly and decisively.
Of course, the shallow media kept asking him to reveal the details.
No Commander of a military would be so stupid as to publicize the battle plan. It is hard to fathom why the media persists in what they call “transparency” when it comes to military plans. (But that is a subject for another day).
Daily changes in Tactics will occur as conditions shift and new information comes in. That is the nature of military conflict.
While we watch the daily variation in Tactics, here is the REAL QUESTION:
What is the End Game Plan for a Long-Term Stable Iran
In Previous Posts, Cogport proposed a plan based on the model of how Japan was reformed after WWII. See those posts for more detail.
Now, the parallels between Japan and Iran are not exact.
However, it could be done if the Iran End Plan was directed to major goal outcomes.
There are certain conditions that must be created to make this work.
So, it is time to add more meat to the bones of the Cogport proposal.
Here are the conditions precedent to a Reform of Iran for Peace and Prosperity like Japan achieved after WWII.
Complete dissolution of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) - it is not just military—it’s a political, economic, and ideological force indoctrinated and aligned with the Mullah’s philosophy of social control and spread through terrorism. (Like Hitler’s Nazi SS)
Iran has another domestic army called the Artesh. It may also have some hardliners that must be rooted out.
Complete and unconditional surrender or occupation allowing the U.S. and any allies to reform the Government and its system for the freedom and benefit of the Iranian people.
Acquisition or Surrender of estimated 900 lbs of Uranium already refined to the 60% Level (potential for 10 large atomic bombs).
We do not underestimate the cost and risk of a Plan that achieves these goals and conditions for reform and repair of Iran.
The Benefits:
A long term permanent solution to a problem ongoing for 77 years.
Real freedom and prosperity for over 90 Million Iranians who have been living under the yoke of the Mullahs.
Elimination of the primary source of Terrorism export in the world.
Real peace in the Middle East and security for Israel which has spent many $ billion to defend itself.
What is the Alternative – Easy Exit
Try to acquire the Uranium and make a quick exit.
Get a temporary opening of the Strait of Hormuz, the choke point for a large percentage of world oil supply
Leave the country of Iran to the existing government with a “new leader” currently of unknown identity.
The Risks of “Easy Exit.”
No fundamental change in the policies currently dominated by the Mullahs.
The world will quickly be back in the same place as before with Iran growing a new arsenal that will include nuclear ambitions.
No permanent peace.
No relief for the Iranian people who deserve much better than they have today.
An unstable environment will continue.
SUMMARY
If a country is in a War, there are no half-way measures. The job must be completed and permanent peace established.
In the next Post, Cogport will put more meat on the bones of its plan with added rationale and information.
