Here’s what Trump said​

The US president gave a brief address from the White House, lasting about three minutes. Here were the key takeaways:

• Trump described the attacks as a “spectacular military success”, claiming Iran’s nuclear facilities have been “completely and totally obliterated”.
• He said that Iran “must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier”.
• He added there are “many targets left…if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill”.
• “This cannot continue,” Trump said. “There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days.”
• Israel loomed large, with Trump thanking and congratulating Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He added the US and Israel “worked as a team” and have “gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel”.
• Despite Trump vowing to avoid US military intervention abroad, he framed the attack as in line with the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani during his first term.
• Trump said the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine, will hold a press conference at 8am local on Sunday (12 GMT).

And they don't have a "puppet" in the cut to place in either right? So potetnaily another Iraq

Anyone who could be that puppet doesn’t exist cause Iran killed them. It’s a nasty government, and maybe there would be support for regime change, but like we keep seeing it’s never a democratic government, it’s almost always extremist who come in and fill those power vacuums.

If he thinks Trump will let bombing an American military base slide he needs to talk to his coke dealer

I mean, he did once. But that no one died. It was a warning shot supposedly.

Iran retaliates for Gen. Soleimani's killing by firing missiles at U.S. forces in Iraq

There were no reports yet of casualties or damage at the two Iraqi military bases housing U.S. forces.

www.nbcnews.com

NATO said in an emailed statement that there were no causalities among its mission in Iraq, which comprises about 500 trainers, advisers and supporting personnel from the U.S. and elsewhere. On Tuesday, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance had suspended training operations in the country.

U.S. forces at Iraqi bases most likely had some warning before the missiles struck, thanks to a facility devoted to detecting and providing alerts about launches anywhere in the world, according to public documents and a former senior intelligence official.

Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi said in a statement he was warned by Iran shortly before midnight that the attack "had begun or would begin shortly."

Mahdi said he was told "the strike would be limited to the locations of the U.S. military in Iraq" and he "alerted the Iraqi forces and military commanders to take necessary precautions."

Mahdi said he had not received any reports of casualties among the Iraqi or U.S.-led coalition forces.

Wars just aren’t about bodies and ‘regime’ changes lol. Take a look at our economy and infrastructure… shyt… I can’t even take the Path to nyc 1 week with 2 major outages lol

Nah I don’t disagree about the whole broad spectrum of war, but that’s why I explicitly said militarily or tactically. Strategically it’s been failure after failure outside of OIF and Desert Storm. If you want to count Panama and Grenada you can. Korea was a stalemate so

It was not approved, but I don't remember if we still have the Iraq powers in effect still.

 

[MenacingMonk]

So now we’re going to spend a whole lot of money on war while China is going to spend more money on Chips, Semiconductors, Physics, R&D, STEM education, clean energy, etc.

We’re going to be stuck with debt and a war bill that won’t be done the next four years either, but longer.

This fukking country is dumb as shyt for electing this.

This POS POTUS is literally destroying the US and idiots can’t see that. This country is fukkin cooked by the hands of a saboteur.

Further Israeli action on Iran will depend on how Tehran reacts to US strikes, source says​

From CNN’s Jeremy Diamond
Future Israeli military action in Iran will depend on how Tehran reacts to the US strikes against its nuclear facilities, a source familiar with the matter said.

It remains unclear at this stage whether Israel will continue its air strikes in Iran following the major US strikes on the Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz nuclear facilities in Iran. Israeli officials have said eliminating Iran’s nuclear program is the primary goal of their bombing campaign, but senior Israeli officials have also increasingly said they are aiming to remove the Iranian regime from power.

Israeli officials have long prepared for significant potential Iranian retaliation should the US carry out strikes against nuclear facilities in Iran.

Officials had previously told CNN they expected the US would eventually join in on strikes in Iran to deliver the final blow to Iran’s nuclear program.

“The whole operation is premised on the fact that the US will join at some point,” an Israeli official told CNN earlier this week.

Just quoting this so you can't edit later. Let's hope you right

u sure about that?!?

I have no problem being wrong but I strongly feel that way. Trump gets away with everything and everyone eventually kisses the ring in some fashion.

UN chief expresses grave alarm at US attacks on Iran​

Antonio Guterres is describing the US attacks on Iran as a “dangerous escalation”, warning that the conflict in the Middle East could quickly get “out of control”.
“I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge – and a direct threat to international peace and security,” he said in a social media post.
“There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control – with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world. I call on Member States to de-escalate and to uphold their obligations under the UN Charter and other rules of international law. At this perilous hour, it is critical to avoid a spiral of chaos. There is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy. The only hope is peace.”

 

[Black Magisterialness]

nikkas think they can fund Ukrainian defense, fight Hamas in Gaza, fight the Houthis in Yemen, fight hezbollah in Lebanon, defend Taiwan from China, AND go to war with Iran

AND deport all the messikans, and increase police budgets, etc. etc.

$9.00 eggs by years end.

There is no "Of course." There was and still isn't ANY proof that they were.

I just explained to why they would be building one

Having Nukes DETERS The White House, CIA, Pentagon and Europe from coming into your nation and changing your leadership. It is the ONLY real form of PROTECTION from them.

This is why Europe and America REFUSE to let anyone else build one. The NPT is a bullshyt system designed to allow them to keep the current order in place and maintain CONTROL over smaller nations.

There’s a reason why the CIA have left someone like Kim jun un ALONE. It’s the NUKES he has.

Iran ABSOLUTELY need Nuclear weapons.
