    Turn all the under-mountain missile cities into super-mega-mall-cities with Whole Foods, McDonalds, indoor shooting ranges, nail salons, super-walmarts, hotels, apartments, casinos, mega strip clubs and free e-bikes to get from business to business as the tunnels go on for miles. Free unlimited, uncensored WiFi. Air conditioning, everywhere. Make each section walking-friendly. Import millions of tourists. Customer service center at every entrance with scantily clad male and female greeters that know how to say "I Love You" in every language. Free insulated water bottles with US and Iranian flag logos and unlimited free refills of any drink. Adult video viewing booths in every tunnel. Free Carls Jr. vending machines. Free trains, busses and camels that transport or relocate people from their homes to the apartments or hotels in the tunnels. Free health spa. VIP tunnels for wealthy tourists that lead directly to underground high security parking for the casinos.

    Most Iranian civilians should enjoy. Some IRGC may be turned. The ones that are not turned will not be able to resist checking it out. Some will come around with time.

    >“We are looking for new creative and unconventional ways to pressure and punish Iran,” an officer in US Central Command’s intelligence branch wrote in a message sent Wednesday to a broad group of military analysts, according to a source familiar with the message. A second source also said that a senior US military officer sent the message last week soliciting new ideas for how to deal with Iran.

    Still somewhat better than just asking ChatGPT, I guess?

    Could be deliberate theater. The real plan is a containment and a slow economic collapse of Iran anyway.

    If the EU and Japan pay higher energy costs, that is an added bonus for Trump.

      Doesn't seem like there's a coherent plan. What you are saying is the old plan from long before Trump, that was torpedoed. Going back to that is saying they've failed in whatever this was.

      Also that is iran's plan as well, survive while the US suffers and eventually gives up like Vietnam ...

      > If the EU and Japan pay higher energy costs, that is an added bonus for Trump.

      US also pays added costs... and Trump is hurting from that

      The only one profiting is China since they've mostly transitioned away from oil...
