B-2 Bombers Moved to the Pacific
The Wall Street Journal reports U.S. Begins Moving B-2 Bombers, as Trump Weighs Attack on Iran
The Pentagon is moving stealthy B-2 bombers over the Pacific from their Air Force base in Missouri, a sign the Trump administration is getting them in place if needed for a strike on Iran. The B-2s can carry the GBU-57 bunker buster, the 30,000-pound conventional weapon that defense analysts say has the best chance of damaging Iran’s Fordow uranium-enrichment facility.
President Trump continues to deliberate over whether to join Israel’s military campaign against Iran and has said he would decide “within two weeks.” Trump had earlier told senior aides that he had approved of attack plans for Iran, but was waiting to see if Tehran would abandon its nuclear program, people familiar with the deliberations said.
Israel’s military continued its strikes on Iran’s military leadership and nuclear infrastructure on Saturday. The military said it had killed three more senior Iranian military leaders and hit Iran’s Isfahan nuclear facility. Israel’s top general has warned that the war could be lengthy, calling it the most complex military campaign in the country’s history.
Iran, for its part, remains defiant, telling diplomats this week that it won’t end its enrichment of nuclear fuel and won’t enter talks with the U.S. unless Israel stops its attacks.
Houthis Threaten to Attack U.S. Ships if U.S. Joins Israeli Strikes
Meanwhile, in Yemen, Houthis Threaten to Attack U.S. Ships if U.S. Joins Israeli Strikes
Houthi militants in Yemen warned Saturday that they would target U.S. warships and commercial ships in the Red Sea if the Trump administration joins in bombing Iran or launches other attacks in support of Israel. The Houthis, allies of Iran, have remained on the sidelines of the war, sending a few missiles into Israel last Sunday but since holding fire.
The Trump administration in May halted a two months-long bombing campaign against the Houthis, saying the militia had agreed to stop targeting ships in the Red Sea.
Arab Gulf States Lobby U.S. to Stop Israel-Iran War
There is not much love between the Arab states and Iran, yet Arab Gulf States Lobby U.S. to Stop Israel-Iran War
Arab Gulf states are lobbying the U.S. to rein in the fighting and are growing concerned about the possibility that the U.S. could join the Israeli attacks, Arab officials said. Senior Gulf officials had backed President Trump’s earlier efforts to resolve the standoff over Iran’s nuclear program diplomatically and were caught off guard by the bellicose turn of events a week ago.
They worry the investment in their relationship with the U.S. isn’t paying off in actual influence and that they are just along for the ride as the fighting extends into a second week.
Why anyone believes there is anything but a one-sided relationship with Trump is a mystery.

Probably this is simply more perfidy, pretending to be diplomatic while already decided to embark on a new catastrophe.
I don’t get why those Persians still have illusions about the West and some kind of agreements. They should just take a hint of USrael, and pretend to agree, without any intention of carrying through. Don’t they remember the US sanctions relief they were promised in 2015 for the JCPOA, which was of course another Lucy Football. America never keeps any agreement: no honor.
Remember, Iran already signed an agreement …
The real war and the only one that matters has already taken place, all that’s left are skirmishes and squabbles. I’ll let you folks read the link and let the smart ones figure it out. Hint: This requires you think beyond the next 5 minutes and see the big picture long term.

Got exit strategy?
Based on TACO’s policy of capitulation on every decision, it is probably safe to say this most recent action is probably a “display of power and/or force.”
TACO gave Israel two weeks to come up with some goodies like a jumbo jet, hotel resorts or other graft. I’m not sure what Israel has that will satiate Trump’s appetite, he’s really fat, hungry and greedy.
70 years of failed foreign policies and endless wars and we just continue down the same path. What is the definition of insanity?
Letting Iran attain nuclear weapons would be literally insane.
Apparently, you vastly underestimate Iran’s propensity to use them, of they make it to the goal line.
sadam had them also good thing we found them in time.
If Iran had nukes, maybe the U.S. and Israel would leave them alone.
The object is not nuclear facilities. They have 10.000 nuclear physicists and hundreds of facilities. The only thing holding back a nuke is religion (WMD are haram, per Khomeini fatwah). The present course of events may well change their minds.
The real object is regime change, just like everybody is already talking about.
Just as the war against Russia — they had hoped Russians would get pissed off and depose Putin, and install an American slut instead.

Easy enough to surf and find 1976 60 Minutes (not a fan of their gotcha out of context clips) episode of the Shah interviewed by Mike Wallace. The most interesting part is when Wallace refers to himself as … something …other than an American.
Wouldn’t surprise me if the CIA overthrew the Shah in a color revolution and it didn’t break they way they planned.
I think that’s EXACTLY what happened. Israel prefers a muslim extremist theocracy rather than a competent, cunning muslim or secular state.
Remember, Israel had no qualms about supplying Iran with military hardware when our embassy was held hostage, during the Iran-Iraq war and during Iran-Contra. They are duplicitous bastards and I hate christian zionists as much as liberals.
With the rest of the region in disarray, we must bomb Iran and end all these shenanigans for the foreseeable future. If we don’t, everything since Oct 6 was for naught.
Why is the region in disarray? What threat is Iran to the US homeland exactly?
Iran is a threat to all the Sunni oil producing nations. Iran financed to Houthi’s in their war against Saudi Arabia. Iran finances opposition groups to the gulf monarchies. Iran is (now was) supplying military hardware to Russia. Iran’s entire oil output, presumably blocked from the market via sanctions, is sold and surreptitiously delivered to China. Oh yeah, and school children in Iran participate in daily chants for the destruction of Israel and the US.
Wasn’t it the Sunnis that attacked us on 9/11? Saudis in particular. At least according to the official conspiracy theory.
You mean Israel being the only democracy in the region did not inspire the region to follow their example so they could be prosperous and stable?
Like to see Lindsey Graham go out like Slim Pickins.

First of all the Houthis have already attacked our ships and many other ships we have severly damaged their ability to attack and they are a Iran sponsored terrorist group . Hamas has been decapitated and was part of Irans proxy groups as was Hezbola who has been broken they have constantly attacked Isreal over the last 30 years . Syria another friend of Iran has just went through regime change and is no help to Iran . I am pretty much against war but Iran getting nukes with their history is scary they have repeatedly called for the elimination of the Jewish state and have backed people who have terrorized them when given any opportunity so this is a tough call . Do I trust our intelligence groups ? Not really . Does Iran have a good reason to hate the US ? Yes . Shoul Isreal be concerned with Iran getting a nuke with their leadership and the size of Isreal . I would if I was them . Its a tough call if we can knock out their ability for them to get a nuke for 4-5 years whether or not to do it or not .
Maybe if we and the Brits had left Iran TF alone the last 70+ years, they wouldn’t want to get a nuke. But everything we have done has only shown them and others that if they don’t want to get slapped around like Iraq,Libya,etc., they should get a nuke like North Korea did.

The Islamic Republic is not seeking nukes for defense. They have not been funding terrorist groups like Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad for defenses. They are on a religious mission, specifically to bring about the return of the Madhi (a messiah like person). They believe this will happen upon their destruction of the West, which they view as infidels. The US and Israel are nos. 1 and 2 on their list. Up until now the Western world has been too weak and too timid to address this ideology. Weakness begats weakness, and Russia and China are also taking measure of the West so they can advance their agendas. When do you think we should fight back – after it is too late?
You have that backwards. After Israel booted the Palestinians, some muslim states have offered half-hearted defense to them. You deny the injustice inflicted on the Palis and the others in the region by Israel so are compelled to invent “islamism” or “religious ideology” as reasons for their hatreds. The answer is right in front of you but you refuse to condemn the aggressor.
Sorry, no booting of Palestinians. Palestinians comprise 2 million of Israel’s citizens The Pal’s vote in elections, serve in the Parliament, sit as judges, including on the Israeli Supreme Court, and comprise about 1/3 of all doctors. No one booted them. Other Arabs attacked Israel in 1948, 1967 and 1973, losing badly every time. Where are the Arab politicians, judges and doctors in Gaza? They decided to choose war over economic development, and after October 7, 2023, they are losing once again, badly.
The Arabs did NOT attack in 1967. And you left out Israel’s attack in 1956.
Get your facts straight dickhead!
Go abroad in search of monsters to destroy, and you’ll eventually find one. That you yourself created.
AAAAAAND, there we are THIS ^^^^^^
Trump has already lost all credibility with Russia, China, Iran and most of the nations of the world with his reckless, deceptive and manipulative statements prior to the drone attack on Putin, the drone attack on Russia’s nuclear defense triad and the Israeli attack on Iran. No one will ever trust anything he says again–including me. I have never seen anything like this in my entire life. He is bringing America down to a place in the world where we do not want to be. He is further endangering the long term survival of the Israeli State-something I might add is now near the very bottom of my list of concerns.
Ukraine attacked Russian Bombers inside Russia those Bombers were being used to bomb Ukrain from Russia using cruise missiles and guided bombs . Sounds like fair game to me .
“Ukraine attacked Russian Bombers inside Russia those Bombers were being used to bomb Ukrain from Russia using cruise missiles and guided bombs . Sounds like fair game to me .”
Corrected: “Ukraine (USA’s PROXY) attacked Russian Bombers inside Russia those Bombers were being used to bomb Ukrain from Russia using cruise missiles and guided bombs . Sounds like fair game to me .
So Russia using N korea troops and munitions and Iranian drones and other suppliers is ok has they press ahead to take more territory .
Yes
Trump has Art of the Dealt himself now. You cant ride 2 horses, you cant serve 2 masters, whatever metaphor you like. He’s tied to 2 tractors moving away from each other.
Idiotic but rich and powerful neocon/ Israel owned warhawks on 1 side, his own voters and most Americans on the other, and most of the globe.
Meanwhile the panicked cries from Israel grow louder. In 2 weeks there may not be much left of it. Will they get the Samson luggage out of the closet?
Joe Tzu :”Always assume your enemy is weak, ineffective and stupid, that your sudden suprise attack will wipe them out, and that total victory will be yours within days!”
Unlike most, I know that I don’t have all of the intel and likely never will. It is my hope that Trump is showing an Ace and leaving Iran to guess if he has another. I hope (and think) that Trump is working with both sides here. If he were to get Israel to chill … it could go a long way towards returning to a normal where everybody hates everybody, but they’re not currently killing each other.
Funny the Houthis have been a problem for quite a while and Trump silenced them and got no credit. I’m not MAGA (I definitely wish he would lose the whole name calling thing) … but it is so normal for Trump weirdness to accomplish something great and then the news reports nothing but the weirdness.
The B2 is the ONLY plane that can deliver the 30,000 lb bunker buster and Trump may be the only president who would actually use them in Iran. I truly hope he does not … but Iran is smart enough to know that he certainly might. My guess is that he is not bluffing … but hoping that the threat he just put face up on the table … improves his ability to broker peace. We shall see. My guess is that if he cannot broker peace … he will send the Bunker Busters. I really hope this doesn’t happen.
Tramp should do a photo op in cockpit like the garbage truck. when is mission accomplished parade happening? july 4th ?
ZEROHEDGE COMMENTER NAILS THE PERSIAN RECENT PAST 75 YEARS. PLUS WISDOM OF LOOKING IN THE MIRROR. “Imagine some other country overthrowing the US government, installing a puppet ‘ruler’ who murders and tortures Americans for decades.
Now imagine that country is ruling the US behind the scenes from their embassy.
Now imagine an arrogant c**t from that country whining about their embassy being invaded and hostages taken.
That c**t is you buddy. “
The radical Islamists overthrew the Shah. Same folks who invaded our embassy and kept hostages for over a year. Same folks who blew up 241 Marines in Lebanon, and whose proxies attacked American soldiers dozens of times. They should never get a nuclear bomb as that would be an actual threat to the US. Civilian use of uranium requires enrichment to 3%. Iran in enriching to at least 60% and probably higher. They have been lying about their program non-stop.
are you too stupid or unschooled or just a liar to not understand what happened in persia in 1953, with the cunt Ike and the UK? i’d love to hear your take on ww2 and us revolution and the Roman Empire. i’m sure i’d need drinks and you need to stop dropping acid or whatever it is you do.
In 1000 years, the Romans only undertook defensive actions to protect order & justice. Yes, really, that was their take.
There’s no reason any country shouldn’t develop nuclear weapons.
