Trump announces on Truth Social that the U.S. has successfully attacked Iran

They tried that once before. It didn’t end up too well for Iran. We sank most of their navy.

That was during the Iran-Iraq War. They’ve built up quite a bit since then.

We’ll probably still destroy their Navy, but then Trump will get pulled into a wider war that he can’t win and will destroy his reputation.
 
I am wondering if Trump didn't do this as a one-time favor to Israel, as if to say, 'Okay, Bibi. We dropped the bombs. You can't say we didn't drop bombs. You gotta work this out now.'

I think whether this escalates may - and I emphasize - may depend on Iran. If Iran can show restraint and not attack US personnel, the US might show restraint. But then again, Israel wants the US in this fight. They don't want us to back off. At some point, if we want to end our entanglement in the ME and pivot to China, we're going to have to lay down the law with the Zionist lobby.

Nothing calms an irritable opponents nerves like bombing them.
 
Funny how some can't understand the realities of this war Trump got us into, if he did. I am still bothered about he being the only source.

Here are the realities of this war.

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.
Is Trump proud of himself today for getting our country involved in another Middle East war, and the enemy can do enormous damage. Americans will die because of what Trump did today.

I really didn't think Trump was that stupid. The war in Iraq lasted eight years. The war in Afghanistan lasted eleven years. In military terms, Iran is stronger than Iraq and Afghanistan combined.

How many Trump Republicans will want to change the subject?
 


If Natanz is yet to be bunker bustered, technically it has not yet been completely destroyed, imo.

Just another reason for the Iranians to hate us, after we forced a dictator on them for decades and trained his secret police.
 
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.
Do you know anything about the history of conflict in the region and the part Iran has played it much of it? American did what we do, support our allies, kick ass, and leave no doubt about who has the superior military.
For those of you that want to support terrorists, go ahead, I'm not surprised.
 
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

Is that why the IDF snipers toddlers in the head and rapes detainees? Because of Hamas?

Who exactly is our “ally” that we are supporting?

I don't have time to argue this tonight, busy hunting down bombing analysis, but Iran did 1953 to themselves. We are hardly to blame.

The US and UK organized the coup and supported it. The Shah had zero popular support.

How much justice should the US get against it for the support of the Shah and SAVAK? Equal to what Iran got for the Embassy as you said? Or greater?

Maybe I can help. It could be because there are very few people on the left that actually think independently. It also why they so quickly jump into "protests" where they follow chants and wave whatever signs are given to them.
 
"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
Yeah so we should be afraid of threats from Iran and stand down because they threaten us. They've been threatening us since 1979. Reagan tod them to let our people go when they took our embassy hostage, they did let them go out of fear. They finally met someone else who was willing to shut them up. Over the past 45 years Iran has attacked or sponsored attacks by its proxies on the U.S. We have taken the lesser response time and time again while Iran continued to chant Death to America. No More.

How independently do you have to think to blame Hamas for Israeli soldiers deliberately shooting unarmed civilians with their hands in the air?

Iran let the hostages go because the Carter admin negotiated their release.
 
Time for Iran to mine the straits of Hormuz and start sinking oil tankers. The US started it.
You think they will risk shutting off Chinese oil shipments? If the Iranians mine the strait it will result in their navy being wiped out.
 
How did Hamas force Israeli soldiers to fire on unarmed civilians?

You want me to treat the Israeli military as on the same level as a terrorist group? You sure about that?
Do I need to remind you who attacked civilian Israeli's at a music fest? Murder, rape, torture and taking hostages. Many are still being held adn you support Hamas.
