A decision to win the war depends upon understanding and accepting the realities of Iran’s driving ideology and goals. A simplified summary is that Iran is run by a religious mullah, the ayatollah, who has absolute authority over the civil government and all military forces. News articles about the IRGC or civil government leaders being in control are poorly informed and erroneous.

Iran’s military force consists of the regular army (about 350,000 plus reserves), the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC), which is about 150,000, and the Police Command.
The IRGC includes the Quds force (which runs Iran’s foreign terrorist operations) and the Basij (a paramilitary militia that enforces Sharia law on citizens).
All of these organizations answer to, and obey, the ayatollah, who is seen as Allah’s chosen leader for Iran.
This summary from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), published three days ago, provides a revealing description of Iran’s ideology and goals:
Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei released a statement on May 26 reaffirming the regime’s commitment to the principles of the Islamic Revolution and his father’s grand strategy – namely, a commitment to the destruction of Israel, the expulsion of US forces from the region, and the formation of a ‘new Islamic civilization’ united against the United States. Khamenei emphasized that ‘Death to America [and Israel]’ will again be the slogan of Iran and the Islamic world. Khamenei stated that Iran defeated US and Israeli forces in the recent war and highlighted the ‘martyrs’ of Iran’s partners and proxies in the region, particularly Hezbollah in Lebanon. Khamenei emphasized the need to unite the Islamic world to ‘solve the problems’ of the region, including preventing the presence of US forces.
(Note that liberal news articles you may have read about this statement fuzzed over its militant defiance.)
How many proofs do we need that Iran’s leaders will not give up their goals unless they are thoroughly humiliated and crushed?
Iran’s religious fanaticism is created and sustained by Iran’s Shia mullahs. That means we must eliminate as many leading mullahs as we can find to make the remnant surrender. If they never surrender, then:

- We take, and never give up control of, their Kharg Island petroleum export terminal,
- We use income Kharg Island generates to pay for our war costs,
- We destroy all Iranian forces that try to close the Hormuz Straits,
- We figure out how to capture and remove, or destroy, all of Iran’s enriched uranium,
- We never end economic sanctions and embargoes on Iran,
- We keep hunting down and killing Iran’s terrorist proxies in other countries,
- We eliminate any Iranian forces that resist our control efforts, and,
- We keep killing Iran’s mullah leaders as we find them.
The clear message needs to be that the United States of America will never allow Muslims to impose their will and conquest on Western Civilization. We owe nothing less to our families and descendants.
The other option is to give in to Iran’s mullahs and embrace the cowardice of liberal Americans who suck up to Islamism. This will never be the choice of American conservative who understand the survival nature of cultural warfare.
Just as we will never surrender to America’s socialistic, perverted liberals, we will never submit to Muslim masters who want to enforce Sharia law upon us.
So, let’s end the farce of negotiations with Iran. That leaves us with two options.
We can walk away from the war and gift Iran’s fanatic leaders with victory — which means we will have to fight an even stronger Iran later on. Or, we make war on Iran until their ruling mullahs accept the humiliation of surrender, or, Iran’s government and society cease to function and collapse.
We are justified in pursuing the goal of total victory for our culture to survive.
So, to hell with negotiating with people who want to crush us.
There is no substitute for victory.
