“The administration doesn’t have a clue. They do not have an actual, real rationale, endgame, or plan for the aftermath of this,” one of the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss classified matters, told The Intercept.

“There is no thought process into what any of this means long term,” said another. “It’s not coordinated regime change. It’s just ‘bomb them until they’re less of a threat.’”

Asked about the administration’s plan for Iran after the war, that official responded: “Whatever.”

    Hegseth is a complete dipshit and Trump is addled by Alzheimer’s. No, they don’t. They waddled after new world leader Israel and don’t have a clue.

    The US does not have the plan. Israel has it and it consists of turning Iran into chaos so that it is a failed state and can never be a rival at any level for them, if this means chaos and destruction for everyone else around them they don’t care

    I just don’t see how america can survive this presidency. Literally every day since 2015, everyone with “tRuMp DeRaNgEmEnT sYnDrOmE” is shown to be even more right than they knew.

    Here is Trump’s war plan for Iran (actual tweet he made 2 hours ago):

    There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).” Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
