The attack sets off a new conflict in the Middle East. 
Strikes Hit Natanz, One of Iran’s Main Enrichment Facilities
Please consider Israel Launches Attack on Iran’s Nuclear Facilities
Israel said it struck dozens of targets across Iran aiming to cripple Tehran’s nuclear program, pushing the region toward a new conflict with uncertain consequences.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military operation would last “as many days as it takes.” The attack targeted Iran’s nuclear program and other military sites, as well as Iranian military commanders, an Israeli military official said.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared a state of emergency and warned that Iran was expected to retaliate for the attack by firing missiles and drones at Israel.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. wasn’t involved in the strikes, and warned Iran not to target U.S. forces.
Oil prices climbed after the attack, and stock futures tied to all three major U.S. indexes fell Thursday evening.

The top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee denounced the Israeli strike as a “reckless escalation” that risks a broader war. “I urge both nations to show immediate restraint, and I call on President Trump and our international partners to press for diplomatic de-escalation before this crisis spirals further out of control. President Trump must be crystal clear with the American people and the international community in charting a way forward.”

- Netanyahu Says Operation ‘Rising Lion’ Will Last ‘as Many Days as It Takes’ “We struck at the heart of Iran’s nuclear enrichment program. We struck at the heart of Iran’s nuclear weaponization program. We targeted Iran’s main enrichment facility in Natanz. We targeted Iran’s leading nuclear scientists working on the Iranian bomb. We also struck at the heart of Iran’s ballistic missile program,” he said.

Observation and a Question
This is war, obviously.
Does Israel need to take out Iran’s nuclear facilities, or does Israel’s action show why Iran needs a bomb to defend itself?
Both can be true or neither.
Addendum
Grok
The phrase “take Israel off the map” is not a verbatim translation but captures the aggressive tone of the original Persian.
Primary Source: The 2005 speech was reported by Iranian state media (IRNA) and translated by various outlets. The New York Times and others used “wiped off the map,” while alternative translations, like those by Middle East scholar Arash Norouzi, suggest “erased from the pages of time” as more accurate.
It’s more complicated as Grok Discusses . “The rhetoric may partly serve domestic or regional posturing.”
Sweden’s former prime minister:
Jun 18
“The reality is that Netanyahu attacked Iran not primarily to prevent a nuclear weapon but to prevent a nuclear agreement between the US and Iran . He was key in driving Trump to leave the original JCPOA deal, and now wanted to prevent a new one.” – Carl Bildt
“We need to stop a theocracy from getting a nuclear weapon because God told me to stand with Israel.” signed, American evangelicals
“erased from the pages of time” seems somewhat forceful.
Would you hand weapons to someone using those words?
Iran was and is defenseless and has no real allies. They could barely muster a fart and a match to fire off at Israel. Iranian oil is now ours again and we can install another governmental regime. This one not so extreme.and theocracy based.
Perhaps the Shah’s son or grandson?
Our military equipment in the hands of the Israelis and cellular voice recognition technology has won yet another war in a foreign land without a peep from Russia, China or any other nation of consequence.
Now that Israel has the Gaza, Iraq, Jordan and Iran under its thumb ~ Who is next?
War Games in action!
We Win!
Is Russia a nation of consequence? I’d expect Ukrainians would say yes. They’re not in Wikipedia’s top 10 GDP list, being less powerful on that scale than Italy, Canada and Brazil.
What has Trump solved the problems?
Ukraine crisis
Gaza crisis
Israel – Iran crisis
Iran nuclear crisis
Immigrant crisis
Budget deficit crisis
Tariff crisis
All are still there.
Just a fool.
More like a distraction.
Trump is a narcissistic actor playing his part on the world stage of suspended disbelief. More WWF character than world leader.
Is he getting rich in the process? You bet!
Are his sycophants getting rich in the process? You Bet!
Are the MAGA faithful getting rich in the process? Not so much, they are just pawns with no real skin in the game.
The neocons always get their way, no matter who is in the White House
How much longer can the world tolerate the endless aggression and land theft by Israel?
By By Iran!
Your military and government is toast!
I wonder when Iran is just going to buy a few nukes off the North Koreans.
They could have them drop shipped.
Reminds of the WMD BS story Bush dreamed up to attack Iraq
The Seventh Seal has just been broken.
Seven wars on behalf of Israel, starting with Iraq in the 1990s – in case anyone is counting.
If there are 1000 of anything then one has 988 places to start counting 7 of them in a row.
Israel has been blowing up the ME since 1948. It is a criminal state. All of the real or imagined threats imposed upon them they bring upon themselves as a result of their own actions. The US’s alliance with Israel brings us absolutely nothing but trouble we could easily avoid. Iran is no threat to the US – NONE! The US needs to stay out of this and by stay out of this I mean isolate ourselves from Israel totally. Israel started this. They need to put their big boy pants on and finish what they started.
cry more
Market has been selling USD against Europe for some time now.
Weekly Techs are heavily oversold and now with a response from Iran about to happen seems a point of market stupidity to be short USD going into weekend.
Iran’s government and many of its people are going to be wiped out and the oil assets protected and taken by Israel and perhaps the U.S.
Dead people can not negotiate for anything.
Trump is supporting the war against Iran with all necessary assets and doing nothing to encourage restraint. It is a wink and a nod world. The diplomacy talk by the U.S. and European’s is nothing but word salad for the masses.
Anyone with a brain knows that this is another sordid chapter in the history of geo religious politics. This is what religious ideologies and nationalism allow and are used to promote. Killing, war and more killing. Intolerance and aggression.
From the Crusades & Fatah’s to Northern Ireland & the Church of England’s world wide conquests, religions & governments are constantly dividing and justifying the death of their enemies. Kill the heathens! Kill the Gays! Kill the Christians! Kill the Muzzies! are the constant war chants of the millennia. It will not stop as long as there are humans alive and walking this earth. Competition for resources and domination are our long entrenched behaviors.
I’m on the side of the winner’s (Israel and the U.S.), but I do not deceive myself that this is not genocide in action. And as bad as this action is, I do not have to worry about my government killing me for observing what I see as the underlying truths behind the ongoing massacres.
Americans get to watch the killing from the comfort of our couches.
It may be north contemplating that the U.S. has busily pumped and sold a huge amount of its oil reserves and it has been observed the the permian basin is peaking in the production cycle using todays technology. Capturing Irans oil is a natural solution for our thirst for oil.
Oil infrastructure is being protected and supplies stabilized. No repeat of the Iraqi conquest with wholesale destruction of oil infrastructure allowed!
Business as usual!
How much back rent do the joooooos owe you for going so long in your head? Can’t imagine. Poor you.
Iran is being systematically decimated. And yes, I’m watching from the comfort of my couch. I can write pretty quickly so warring religions are a pretty easy target. All good! The show goes on!
World’s biggest state sponsor of terrorism. We’re living in it.
Tough being a mullah these days. Between beating women for showing too much ankle or singing or not following orders, dealing with a rabble rousing population that really doesn’t like us too much because they want their stupid ‘freedoms’, or our child brides…. err, wives getting too lippy when we kick them in the gut.
Now Eli Copter is coming for us again.
Now we wait for Iran’s antisemitic response to being attacked.
What response ~ IRAN? They got nothing, had little, offense or defense and now the oil belongs to the Americans and Israelis. Mission accomplished and like Gaza, Iran has been subjected.
Any Questions?
Question:
If founded in 678bc, populated by 90 million people and possessing oil reserves for export throughout the 20th century, how should a well managed country look in 2025?
Israel alerted the US government of the planned attack with little time for US citizens to evacuate US Embassies in the Middle East. And now Trump is threatening Iran, with more Israeli attacks. There has to be a lot planning and coordination between the US and Israel in their good cop / bad cop approach to dismantling Iran’s nuclear program.
China is very capable of the same strategy against the US.
Saudi Arabia maybe involved here too?
Analogy does not work. Differences too numerous to list but the biggest might be a reversed supplier/customer relationship. Motive?
America has been planning this since 2009.
“Leave it to Bibi” was the verbatim name of the chapter.
Israel is 100% an American dependent.
American planes, American ordinance, American controlled air space and territory.
———-
–Israel needs to fly over Jordanian & Iraqi airspace — impossible without US permission.
–Israel needs refueling assets and flanking squadrons.
–They need permission to use American weapons & ordinance; the US has total leverage if it threatens to cut any off.
–They need ISR from American satellites, as well as real-time terrein reconnaissance, target selection, terrein mapping.
–Co-ordinates are vetted by US personnel; the notion that drones/missiles can be programmed to hug terrein, home in on targets, weaving between mobile AD assets to strike hundreds of kilometers deep without US programming based on US ISR assets is fanciful.
–They need AWACs and EW assets in the air.
–They need to configure decryption modules to process American signals for positioning and targeting.
»The American role in all this is active technical facilitation and hands-on action.
Any dissembling about American proxies doing their own thing and plausible deniability, pretending America is a neutral party above the fray, striving for peace, is entirely disingenuous, serving only marketing narratives in the sphere of public discourse, but entirely separate from any real considerations that guide action.
lol, call us when the shuttle lands.
BINGO!
And now the oil is ours and Israel can expand without those pesky little missiles being shot at them by Iran’s Islamic clergy.
All in all, it’s a good start to another genocide and ethnic cleansing.
And making lotsa good money selling munitions!
Gotta keep that GDP number up if the economy slows down.
It means the Israeli State must be wiped from the page (of history).
No genocidal message; their position has always been that establishing of a Jwish state was a mistake and the page should not be part of the story.
Israel’s interpretation is bad faith projection of their own intentions.
Yikes.
wipe off the crumbs, pull up your pants and get a job. I mean other than this.
Maybe he can join the US Army and go die in the Middle East for Netanyahu the same way our Darwin Award winners did in Iraq.
nah, he’s too busy looking for glenn greenwald’s newest video. send him the link. I’m sure you have it.
Mary Rubio: “Daddy? I didn’t break the vase in the living room.” “No. It wasn’t me.”
Use it or lose it time for Iran
They already lost it.
Iran’s response is predictable: finish building the nukes, then install them into the waiting hypersonics. Nothing else they do really matters.
USA dropped bombs in 1945. Inability to replicate technology 80 years later says something.
Mish’s A-B-C-D formulation was perfect.
B
So weird that an islamic jihadi becomes the head of Syria … Oh yeah, but Turkey supported the takeover … Turkey, member of what 4 letter mil org? Russian bases in the Med get sidelined. Syrian airspace, open. US recognizes said jihadi’s gov. Look at a map. Saudis are no friend of the Ayatollahs, who used the crazy but ass kicking Houthis to attack the Saudis for years. As well as the Israelis. Now, who was supplying drone upon drone to the Russians? These are big complex geopolitical upheavals. 3 letter agencies better at proxy fights. Israel is a big proxy. Hamas and Hezbollah have been neutered. Iran is left exposed. Internally, look at the VIX OVN spike and fall. Clear out positioning, comes right back in. Meanwhile, the Trump admin has been negotiating with the Ayatollahs on an Iran deal. They were warned. But then pride cometh before a fall. This has been in play for a long time.
“Iran is left exposed”
This why situation is dangerous. The Islamic Revolution not going down without a strong response. If they believe it is now a fight for its very existence there is no reason to hold back.
Containing Iran was a better strategy, let the elders die of old age and wait it out for a new generation. No longer an option.
Not sure that waiting it out was a possibility. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis … Use of assets inside of the country to attack them is quite a psychological blow, along with taking out key military leadership. So what else do the Israelis have embedded within? Now, yes very dangerous.
Am of opinion this was Israel acting as they had info on Iran moving forward with Nuclear bomb. Probably within days.
Trump has reached out to Islamic world especially Saudi’s as they and others had pledged investment capital into US.
US policy towards Islam was of reaching out. Trumps carrot was extended to a degree to Iran as well.
Iran going forward with Nuclear knowing full well there would be a response is unknown why that decision was made. This suggests that Iran is going to go hard line without compromise as they were willing to engaging in Nuclear.
Lot of media talk about negotiated settlement as only route forward. comes off as wishful thinking to me.
Are you confusing cause with effect?
Following yesterday’s attack Iran has little choice but join the nuclear arms race.
Additionally, we need to watch our backs from Afghanistan. Thy do have nukes and a mix of crazies and pissed off factions. Trump thinks he has them neutralized, but I’m not so sure…
Tiz the season of the Back Swan…
The biggest escalation few people are mentioning is, of course, the closing of the straits of Hormuz; given that the US appears to have no meaningful deployments in the region (after the beating they took from Ansarallah military understanders have mentioned that there are no planes stationed in Diego Garcia nor aircraft carriers in the region), the closure of the straits would be catastrophic and impossible to impede or reverse; if the US is unstable as it is with purely domestic affairs, it’s hard to imagine events not spiraling out of control with gasoline at 30 dollars the gallon, or whatever price it ends up reaching. Dangerous times.
Closing the Strait doesn’t affect the US much. It does screw the Chinese, Indians and Europeans though.
Zionism is an ethno-religious cult started by a bunch of satanic pedophiles.
please keep your fantasies on other more appropriate sites.
“Peace, Land, and Bread” my Bolshevik brother.
Sad. Level headed t all and resettle as a Jewish state! This is sickening and disgusting! I’m sure we supplied the weapons!
Israel vs Iran, kits not a new war it’s centuries old.
tell us you know nothing about ME history without using those words.
Meanwhile, the stock market barely has a hiccup.
Oil markets are well supplied and we can all take our Buick Behemoths and Ford Extinctions to work or play.
My bet is that crude oil will be below $70 by eod and markets will end higher.
😉
Not many Buick Roadmasters left. They’re mostly high MPG Korean made SUVs now. And oddly very good for what they are.
True enough! I was simply playing with the size of some of our SUV’s.
My favorite being the Ford Extinction…
Israel will be unable to stop a full scale missile response from Iran.
Which is highly likely.
Might as well start thinking about how much damage gets inflicted upon Israel and Israel will escalate.
Also all those Muslim illegals floating around Europe are going to act.
Probably in US as well.
Sleeper cells Biden let into US are going to get activated.
Iran response using its embedded sleeper cells aligns with current policy of surrogate actions such as Hamas, Houthi, Hesbollah.
Attacking critical infrastructure such as electric grid, food supplies, hybrid warfare.
What the US does need is some more mass media articles in defense of illegal migrants. This will support the complete ousting of those who placed US in a very compromised National Security position.
We tend to be always thinking within the box. Aka misses. Perhaps Iran, maybe saving its Trump card? What could it be? (Thinking outside the box)
Unfortunate, this conflict is escalating. Very unfortunate that the strike was unilateral. Unfortunate that the behavior of both sides has been predictable.
The end result will likely surprise us all. Many will die , this makes Thursday’s strikes a very sad day for many.
IKE in early 50s, doing the coup with UK and propping up the shah might have been top 10 of the dumbest military moves of the past century.
correction: USA attacks iran using it’s pawn state in our world wide empire. and for the history buffs, empires have always ruled that part of the world, british before, ottomans, romans, egyptians………. a 100 mile wide land bridge connecting 3 continents. what has been called, the sinai peninsula in modern times, an incredible choke point geographically. for pax amerika, it’s been a great little outpost to have for the petro dollar hegemony rule. the rest of the nonsense is abrahamic religious idiocy for the middlebrows, jew and muslim and christian.
The Prussians cultivated a civil society there one upon a time.
IKE in early 50s, doing the coup with UK and propping up the shah might have been top 10 of the dumbest military moves of the past century.
“….correction: USA attacks iran using it’s pawn state in our world wide empire…”
This ☝️ ☝️ ☝️ ☝️ 💯
did you make a little hitler mustache as you typed this racist word salad? or just salute at the end?
My first thought is: “What took so long” as Iran has been trying to develop Nuclear Weapons to annihilate Israel from the Map of Life, for many Decades.
My initial thought is that they had gotten to the point, which the World has been terrified about, where they would soon be able to launch such a “Nuclear Weapon” and the first target will and always was Israel.
Let’s face it, if it wasn’t for Israel, the Middle-east would simply be a killing zone. At times over the decades, we have certainly witnessed continual war, and talk of such actions, since I can remember: “Death to Israel” has been a chant by many Middle-east Countries.
Perhaps the Israel Intelligence confirmed that Iran is at or close to: “Nuclear Missile strike” capabilities. The World knows Iran has been just itching to get there, and wipe out Israel. Again they pray and chant this fact “All The Time”
Being Americas only “Trusted Friend” in the Middle-east, I don’t agree with the U.S. sitting back, as Iran has also had America in its sights as well. They could easily blame the U.S. and use that as an excuse to launch, if they do have that capability or if it’s right around the corner.
Now is a time where “The Biden Administration’s” absolute “Screw Up” of Afghanistan with their withdrawal efforts, or lack thereof, should be exposed once again. We could and should have had the Airbase and assisted in this campaign, if and when necessary.
What’s that? We gave away that Airbase to the Taliban. Oh, my bad, AND $Billions in Weapons too. Why would we do such a stupid… Never mind, the “PEN” did it right?
Iran was and is a toothless and feeble nation. They have nothing to fight with and that has been demonstrated over and over. Israel on the other hand just wiped the Palestinians off of the map of life. The very definition of genocide.
Now it is on to Iran. After taking over Iran, who is next? The “Rising Lion” is sharpening its claws.
We have been told to be terrified, so we support Israels aggression and the aggression of the Bush and other proxy wars (so often) that many realize that the only reason is selling weapons to kill off pesky overpopulating middle-easterners.
Heck, I’m on the side that is “winning” so why should I care?
There’s plenty good money to be made supplying the tools of the trade and the wars only gonna be won when we’ve blown then all to kingdom come!
While we are at it, let’s kill all those pesky Canadians and Greenlanders. They might get nukes too!
Lets face it, we are not a peacekeeping nation. We are the aggressors and a killing machine. America sponsors Israels killing machine just like a NASCAR team.
Throughout history, humans have brutalized each other and the bells tell the toll of the dead. Or, in silence the children and elderly of the losers die in near-silent gasps for air.
Observing and reporting from the safety of ???
Safety?
It is an illusion…
Orwell was right!
exactly correct
Correct!
– Iran was and is a toothless and feeble nation. > They have nothing to lose, which is precisely the problem at hand. If they actually can be proven to have Nuclear Weapons, and are at or closely near launching capabilities of Nuclear Weapons, then I would take Iran at there “Precise Words” rather than risk a Nuclear War from a sworn to annihilate your Countries existence over and over again, that has absolutely nothing to lose!
– Israel on the other hand just wiped the Palestinians off of the map of life. > Again a situation of “Defense” as the area in which they resided, was taken over by others, who wanted Israel Gone. As a result, they had a choice to defend themselves or be caught up in a self defense effort by Israel. The chose the latter, and when they went looking for help, they got none from anyone, because they took the wrong side.
– Now it is on to Iran. After taking over Iran, who is next? > Nobody was taken over, and Israel has no desire to do so. They desire Peace, and a way of life
that doesn’t include the constant threat of “Genocide” by a Potential Nuclear Power next door, that claims it will be the very first Place that they will annihilate, over and over, and over again.
– the only reason is selling weapons to kill off pesky overpopulating middle-easterners. > Why? Because we support a Peaceful Nation in the Middle-east. We assist them with weaponry to be used for self defense (Dome). We also allow them to purchase other self defense weaponry to be used when and if deemed necessary. We are not their Parents, and only sell to them, but do not, and don’t want to, Dictate to Them what to do with what they purchase. We are supporting an ally.
“Because we support a Peaceful Nation in the Middle-east” – LOL. I think you win the internet today.
Any nation that has unlimited petro cash flow and a populace kept under an authoritarian thumb, like Russia, is dangerous. Iran with nukes is very dangerous. Bearded men in robes, goats and a nuclear go option. Yeah, no to the medieval theocracy and armageddon. Shifting geopolitical alliances is not warm and fuzzy.
Good morning class, welcome to Genocide 101.
In yesterdays lesson, we learned how bombing Gaza into dust was fun and easy. We learned that blowing arms and legs off of Palestinian’s and their children could be fun and no one would hold us accountable. Millions could be eradicated.
Today, we turn our missiles on Iran with the excuse that they are enriching uranium. As we know from previous bombings, Iran is defenseless, has lots of oil and we can profit from taking it. No one will stop us because “we are the victims” (muffled laughter).
We start off with a barrage against their leaders and put the countries leadership into disarray, then start a carpet bombing campaign which virtually levels their cities and infrastructure.
Like Gaza, the civilian population gets killed by our bombs or starved in the streets. No humanitarian relief is allowed and since this is a desert, we do not need furnaces, Dehydration kills relatively quickly and the dust absorbs what little blood remains.
Tomorrows lesson will be on how to bulldoze the rubble and build a monument to holocaust survivors in its place.
Any questions?
Yes, how can you be so stupid? Here’s the lesson you need to learn:
DON’T SCREW WITH ISRAEL!
Do you mean the synagogue of Satan?
Teacher?
Yes, Issac?
If it was bad for the Germans to kill our people, why is it OK for us to kill all of the Palestinians and Iranians?
Good question Issac. Because we are the “Chosen Ones”. God loves us and hates them. God punished the Germans, but not enough. We will get them back and rule the entire earth one day.
Remember, Issac, god loves us, not them!
OK teacher, got it!
Can we watch FOX News now?
😉
Don’t recall Jewish population of Europe launching constant missile strikes against the Third Reich? Perhaps I missed a chapter of WWII history!
how long does it take to get the goose step down? Also, do you draw the little hitler facial hair on, or did you shave it in?
Iran fired off 100 drones against Israel. Just heard that all have been intercepted by Israel and other ME partners, such as Jordan.
Iran should have paid attention to what Ukraine is doing with drones. [lol]
Like I said, Iran couldn’t get a fart into Israel.
Israel can kill all the Iranians it wants, just don’t take out the oil infrastructure.
Carry on, nothing to see here, just as long as you can’t hear the screaming children or smell the burning flesh, its all good!
sorry you’re triggered. you’ll be fine. take heart.
Yet a bunch of para-gliding jihadists flew across the border on October 7th and operated for over 7 hours without any IDF presence.
Israel’s intelligence agency built a secret drone base near Tehran to launch its recent attacks against Iran. The country spent years preparing for the operation, including smuggling weapons systems and commandos into Iran,
If Iran had attacked Israel to prevent this attack, the U.S. would be defending Israel with all force necessary to turn Iran into dust and take its oil. An attack by Iran would be labeled as “terrorist” and a hate crime. But if Israel wants to turn Gaza into a genocidal dust bowl and Iran into a similar genocidal mess? The U.S. says “Oops! It’s not us. Golly gosh!
Trump in fact backed out of the nuclear non-proliferation deal which had inspectors in Iran preventing this alleged enrichment from happening in the first place.
Face it kiddies, Trump wants war against many people: Palestinians, Californians, Canadian’s, Greenlanders, Iranians, Mexicans etc. without regard for the horrors of war. For Trump, it’s about intolerance, power and being in the spotlight.
Promoting the oil industry… Making money…
But oops! Without those “Rare Earths” he is on China’s short (6 month) leash.
What was that trump said while campaigning? If I were president this war would stop with one phone call?
Not a chance, Trump is a liar, dictator and a war-mongering fool.
lol, ‘if’? Bro, you rip van winkle? How long have you been asleep?
The historically warring Semite tribes (which includes both the Jews and the Arabs) will eventually find peace when the old tribal ways are forgotten. The IS occupying Iran is unfit to govern, much less arm for war. They will be taken down soon I think.
The Islamic State will not prevail.
I have to wonder that with all these people presumably worshiping the same God, how many actually pray for Divine Peace? Scriptures are made to be discussed and educate, not fought over. Where is the faith that will let God BE God?
Was Iran’s development of a nuclear bomb for it’s own protection or was it’s purpose was to destroy Tel Aviv and therefore end the Israeli regime? If we can answer that question it will tell us whether Israel was a belligerent in this attack or they were justified because Iran planned to destroy Israel.
Iran is defenseless and can’t even defend itself much less attack Israel effectively.
If Iran bombed Tel Aviv with even a small nuclear weapon it would be reduced to dust and its people annihilated within minutes. The aggression of Israel is obvious. Iran can’t even get a few small missiles through the “Iron Dome” that protects Israel.
This is bald faced aggression by Israel against its neighbor, hidden behind a false flag of fear ~ propaganda at best.
Iran is basically defenseless and can do nothing against our military which supports Israel’s genocidal tendencies.
Russia will not be coming to Iran’s rescue and neither will China. This has all the elements of a “Top Gun” script and taking Iran’s oil is the likely outcome.
Iran is the “New Gaza” as Israel has declared open ended targeting of Iranian government officials and people.
Genocide 101
Unsure about the effectiveness of nuclear weapons in rural mountains areas.
I hear if you say genocide 3 times, beetlejuice appears.
it is all theater for mo11rons who never open geo map and-or read history!
Iran territory is about 1.6 mil sq km. ppl is about 85 mil
====
Germany territory is about 400 000 sq km (4x times less ) ppl was about 80 mil in ww2
usa-gb bombed Germany since 1940. read somewhere they dropped each week equals to Japanese nuclear bombings, EACH WEEK!!
they did destroyed Hamburg and other city w/ big population. it took them whole weekend,and thousand sorties
dozen hits in Iran wont change anything!
test
Let’s look at Bibi (Worst Combover since Herod) Netanyahu’s motivations:
A better time to kick off against Amalek might not come for decades.
At this point Saudi, Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar have got to be thinking about nuking up.
Oil up 11% and still rising. Gold up $64 so far to a new record.
And then we have $Melania meme coin, which just took a 14% tumble in the last few hours and set a new record low of 24 cents.
poor melania. what a sad pathetic life.
Trump’s not interested in you. He won’t sleep with you.
and what does China think? https://www.al-monitor.com/newsletter/2025-06-12/how-does-china-view-potential-attack-iran#:~:text=%F0%9F%A4%94%20What's%20at%20stake%20for,and%20Tehran%2C%20signed%20in%202021.
I wonder what a “forceful slap” is. Guess we’ll be finding out.
Doesn’t appear that the cable news stations are too concerned with the Israel attack. MSNBC and CNN are still talking about Trump and immigration and FOX is taking commercial breaks.
Hearing a lot of positive Israel rah rah sis boom bah on FOX News!
But of course. Are you surprised?
The trade war + gulf war combo is not a good one for the lowering of interest rates. The deficits brought by Big Beautiful Bill combined with prolonged trade and middle easter wars will make Trump’s economy one to be remembered for a very long time.
one of the best time lines here

Major fail since a Bluesky sign-in is REQUIRED to see whatever you wanted to show.
bluesky…. lol!
I wonder if Israel is coordinating with Iran Regime rebellion forces inside Iran also?
Good times in the defense industry.
Two things for certain:
one other certainty: your knowledge of military planning and execution is equivalent to my knowledge of quantum wavefunctions.
