There is no sense to negotiate with these birds, if the end goal is to secure the Hormuz waterway, end the regimes nuclear ambitions, funding terrorist proxies, murdering its own people, well the status quo will not work. The US must seize Kharg Island, secure the coastal regions, then arm the resistance groups like the Kurds to destroy the IRGC. Also block ALL shipments going into Iran via air, water, land, that includes Russian and Chinese arms shipments.
