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

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.
Who do you think is coming to Iran's aid? Nobody. Iran is alone in this mess and they are going to stop now or suffer a horrible end.
 
.Iran has sponsored over 170 attacks on U.S. assets in the ME in the past 2 years with little to no response from the U.S. That was Joe Biden. That is not happening now. Iran is not going to continue sponsoring terror and attacks on U.S. assests without paying a price.
IF you don't know this then you should do your research. Over the pat 45 years Iran has attacked or sponsored and funded attacks against U.S. assets in the ME.
 
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.

What’s the point in having a Navy if it does nothing but sit in port when another nation launches a war of aggression against you?
 
We took preventative action. Iran will not get a nuke and that's a very good thing.

No, we launched a war of aggression. Even the US intelligence community confirmed Iran was no where near a nuclear weapon.
 
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.

Hamas attacking a music festival means Israeli soldiers were forced to deliberately murder unarmed civilians with their hands raised?

A tiny fraction of the attacks SAVAK launched on the Iranian people that were sponsored by the US.
 
Iran 6 months from now: “It’s not our fault ISIS got ahold of nuclear material from those facilities. The US blew them up and material was scattered. If A Erica hadn’t destroyed them, we could have kept control over that material.”
 
How independently do you have to think to blame Hamas for Israeli soldiers deliberately shooting unarmed civilians with their hands in the air?
Well, first you have to question it. Then you have to do all you can to understand the circumstances. Then you have to evaluate the source(s) of the answers you get.
Alternatively, of course, you can just be a left-wing individual and just accept whatever you've been told. Saves a lot of thought and a little time.

What circumstances justify shooting unarmed civilians with their hands in the air? It’s on video. There were no Hamas fighters behind them.
 
Iran let the hostages go because the Carter admin negotiated their release.
Of course. That's why Iran released the hostages just as soon as Reagan was in a position to punish them if they didn't.

Maybe you should look at the actual facts about the negotiations. They released them the day Reagan was inaugurated to spite Carter for Eagle Claw.

That is not what happened.
 
I can imagine some, but I don't know if those circumstances existed at the time of the event you claim.

Great. Let's see it, and who it came from.

Without at least seeing the video, I can't know that.

When I post the video and it shows the Israeli soldiers gunning down unarmed civilians, will you condemn Israel for committing war crimes?

No - HAMAS use of perfidy as a tactic, such as mimicking civilians and surrenders before killing IDF soldiers - forces the IDF to treat people who present as unarmed and surrendering civilians as threats.

Of course they did. And they would have stopped their nuclear program if only Trump had been nicer to them.

So it’s okay for Israel to mass murder civilians then, yes? Just accuse all civilians of Hamas fighters and the right gives a free pass to murdering them.
 
Of course they did. And they would have stopped their nuclear program if only Trump had been nicer to them.

They would stop their nuclear program if there were real inspection regimes in place. Too bad Trump dumped that treaty because a black man signed it.

Didn't I tell you what independent thought involves? It's more than agreeing to the first demand someone throws out. You post the video and I'll make up my own mind.

Or your mind is already made up and you’ll never condemn Israel no matter what crimes they commit.

Wow!! That's a really dumb comment!

I don't like armies unnecessarily killing civilians. I didn't like My Lai. I didn't like what the Nazis did.
Now, you can either offer your evidence or tacitly admit that there is none.
