BREAKING Israel launches preemptive attacks against Iran (US bombs Iran)...

[Padreruf]

I have no doubt that Iran will respond at their own time and pace...not on our calendar. This bombing probably took away their capabilities to develop and use a nuclear weapon. It did not take away their capability to engage in terrorism of one form or another.

"What's done is done..." (line from The Godfather after the failed assassination of Vito Corleone. What is unknown is the specifics of Iranian response -- What, Where, When and How?

Another thing to consider is what Acton said about the actual effect the bombings had. He pretty much made the case that this probably only accomplished two things: 1) it now guarantees that Iran will race towards the development of a nuclear bomb and 2) it gives them a reason to. He made the case that the facilities aren’t as important as the administration is making it out to be and that they have more than likely hid the enriched uranium all across the country already. He says they have the knowledge and experience to do it and will wait before resuming again. He has the question “is the United States going to bomb them every time they restart the program because this isn’t going to be the last time”

Yep, anyone that thinks any of this will stop Iran's pursuit of the bomb is living in Trump’s naive world. This does nothing but stirs the hornet's nest.

Trump also proves once again he is not a President for all Americans with his pettiness by only informing GOP congressional leaders. I don't trust this fat bafoon to lead us through a war successfully.

Israel has been at war with this region of the world since Biblical times, but now that Trump is involved, peace is on the way. Sure.

President Trump on the U.S. attack on Iranian Nuclear facilities (Entire Speech)

Three fools and a wimp. I cant stand trump, or the other two fools, but in this case I have to side with him. The turkey found the acorn. I'll give credit where credit is due. This is certainly not over but the primary objective appears to be obtained. We should not have to worry about this rogue national sponser of terrorism terrorizing the world with nukes. It remains to be seen what they will resort to know.
Be sure your files are backed up (and your deviced charged).

 

[Bamaro]

We dropped 14 MOPs and Iran apparently didn't even fire back.

For those keeping score at home, the guy who just days ago whined about not getting a Nobel Peace Prize just escalated a war/conflict/whatever.

Get ready for TACO again.

Adam Kinzinger said this morning that with (highly) enriched unranium they could load it into a warhead and make the target area uninhabitable. If that is reasonably factual that becomes a flash point that will bring the US deeper into the conflict. I think about all of the Iranian supplied groups such as the Houthis who are poised now to attack Red Sea shipping. The conflict will spread and pull us deeper into it.

Naming this Operation Midnight Hammer sounds like an ode to Hegseth’s drinking habits.

I think the original name was operation Hebrew hammer but someone caught it at the last minute

This is being reported , but unconfirmed-

. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claimed on Sunday that a "number of countries" are ready to supply Iran with nuclear warheads

 

[some_al_fan]

Medvedev is ********ting

However, the strange part is that nuclear watchdog is not reporting increased radiation around the "destroyed" site.

I read that Russia is reporting Iran’s enrichment capabilities are intact, take that for what it’s worth.

maybe he didn’t realize most damage would be underground. That didn't really look like Fordow either

I remain the same skeptic I was as to the efficaciousness of the MOP on that much hard rock. I'd be amazed if there were penetration all the way to the original cave. Probably the most that can be hoped for would be that the cavern ceiling was collapsed. As others have said, many in that part of the world will be swayed to Iran's side. Forever after, they can say "See now why we needed the bomb?"

 

[bamaga]

This, I believe.

Maybe they will see why not to pursue a nuke.

 

[81usaf92]

No. It does the opposite

 

[selmaborntidefan]

Maybe they will see why not to pursue a nuke.

That's some Western logic right there.

I wish it were true, but I suspect this just hardens the resolve.

We also have a President who notoriously oversells EVERYTHING. Yes, we've had some leaders before who oversold stuff - but it was a from time to time thing, not the idea that every single thing ever done was something "nobody thought could be done and we did it."

His truckling sycophants and Cabinet members (pardon the redundancy) will be out using his language on TV now. Hegseth has already gone the "obliterated" rout, and as an ex-military guy, he of all people should know better. He's greasing the wheels for when Trump fires him and blames him for "lying" to Trump about us "obliterating" the targets.

They lie, trump lies. Time will tell.
