Axios reports, "The U.S. military conducted air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan on Sunday morning local time, President Trump announced on Truth Social.

Why it matters: Trump's decision to intervene directly in support of Israel's effort to dismantle Iran's nuclear program marks a historic escalation in the Middle East.

It's an intervention fraught with risks and uncertainty — one that Trump and many of his predecessors had sought to avoid, including through diplomacy with Iran.

The attack, which came on the ninth night of the unprecedented war between Israel and Iran, could provoke retaliation from Tehran against U.S. troops and military installations across the region.

We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space," Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.

  • "A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow," he continued, referring to Iran's most fortified uranium enrichment facility.
  • "There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!" Trump announced on Truth Social.
 
So, we're Israel's "made" soldier now?

For sure.

We don't do a damn thing to try to stop the Netanyahu Government's continuing war against helpless Palestinians in Gaza.

But we do join the Israeli Government in ITS war-of-choice against Iran and Iranians.

And now with the cowardly Fascist trump in charge, we help Putin kill innocent Ukrainian men, women and children. Netanyahu, Putin and trump......so proud, so disgusting.
 
"NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!"

 

Stupid dangerous ****. He puts all Americans in danger by needing the attention, after his slights over the Nobel Peace Prize.

Um, the Netanyahu government is at war with Hamas. The citizens of Gaza are being harmed because of the actions of Hamas. Not sure how you libs could still be getting this wrong after all this time
 
This is very strange. The only source for this is Trump.

Other major media outlets are reporting this, but they all attribute the information to Trump.

Put it this way, as things stand right now, our country just became involved in a major war, and the only source for this information is Trump?

There is no independent source reporting bomb damage. Nothing from Israel. Nothing from Iran.

Just Trump.

The last straw was mocking him about "2 weeks." He had to show he was "decisive and powerful"

TACO 2-Step strikes Iran.

I’m watching the news now and seriously wtf just happened????
This is so dangerous
 
So, not only does Trump use the negotiations process to stall and let Israel sucker-punch Iran, we say "two weeks" when we really mean two days to think about restarting negotiations. Not that it mattered because we were gonna do this no matter what.

I wonder how those trade deal negotiations are going...especially since they knew the US is now led by a total snake.

So much for mister "There was never a war on my watch".

Was this really necessary and how does he justify his comments on Ukraine? What a joke.

"The strikes are a perilous decision for the U.S. as Iran has pledged to retaliate if it joined the Israeli assault, and for Trump personally, having won the White House on the promise of keeping America out of costly foreign conflicts and scoffed at the value of American interventionism." link

So I wonder if Trump is going to bomb civilians next like his pal Vlad?
 
I wonder if MAGA's get it yet. He lied about so many things he would/would not do if elected and none of it means anything since he got the job.

This is dangerous and stupid and will cost American lives at some point. Well done Comrade Donnie.
 
Lol. Are you serious?? You think we should have announced our plans before hand? Did the US announce to the Germans that we would be landing on the beaches of Normandy on June 6th? I swear some of you libs are so obsessed with hating trump that you have completely stopped thinking clearly.

What did Hamas do to force Israeli soldiers to shoot unarmed civilians with their hands raised?

You know how for decades Israel has had to keep looking over its shoulder, always searching every person and bag, fearful of snipers and suicide bombers that no wall has stopped?

That's what our involvement in this "war" can bring here. Low-cost to Iran, plenty of extremist Muslims to heed the terrorist call to action, paralyzing to the US and our economy.
