Israel, US war-gamed airstrikes on Iran during Biden admin. - report

[Cassandro]

An act of war under international law includes armed attacks on a state’s territory or critical infrastructure. The U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites qualify as such

An "act of war" may be an excuse, but it is not a declaration of war. That is up to the countries involved.

P.S. This is not the Word Game forum.

 

[JoeB131]

So, Joe Biden ordered the US into a war with Yemen?

Sign of wingnut desperation, trying to change the subject.

Looks like you were disappointed on Christmas morning that the Iranians didn't immediately surrender.

[JoeB131]

The Zionists have been making noises about attacking Iran since March.

It's safe to say that anything portable that the Iranians could have moved, they have.

You’re making out the Word Game forum, saying that an act of war isn’t war.

The U.S. and allies invaded Iraq to overthrow Saddam Hussein’s regime, citing weapons of mass destruction. No formal declaration of war was issued by the U.S. or Iraq.

And the congressional declaration was not a declaration of war. Unless you can find a word there.

I guess you called it the “Iraq Squabble”.

The last formal U.S. war declaration was in World War II.

Looks like you were the one trying to make it a word game. And you failed.

• the last formal U.S. war declaration was in World War II

 

[MagicMike]

That is true but it's only half the story. The other half is that while they were distracting us, they were robbing the American People Blind.

How so?
Specifics please.

Much of their bumbling incompetence was designed to hide their thievery.

What theivery? You are just pulling stupid accusations out of your ass.

Destroy dimocrap FILTH the ability to steal and you destroy the dimocrap scum party.

Do you have any idea how much money Trump has grifted from the government already since taking office?

simple solution to a deadly and disgusting problem

Shut the **** up you idiot!

The exercise was unprecedented as it war-gamed offensive actions against Iranian nuclear capabilities for the first time, the source informed ABC.​

Israel and the US practiced conducting airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities during the Biden administration, an Israeli source with direct knowledge of the matter confirmed to ABC News on Sunday morning.

The exercise was unprecedented as it war-gamed offensive actions against Iranian nuclear capabilities for the first time, the source informed ABC.

While the practiced and war-gamed scenario was planned in cooperation with former president Joe Biden's administration, "we did not think a year ago that this would happen now," the source commented."

What's this? The Biden admin practiced for the Trump admin's Operation: Midnight Hammer?
If Biden bombed Iran into the Stone Age, the leftists here would clapping and cheering.

There it is.... Just like the military parade. The military parade was planned by the Biden administration and followed through with by Trump. It's no surprise to hear that operation midnight Hammer was devised during the Biden administration also. Lol....

 

[hadit]

Absolutely.

Listen to Vance try to backpeddle. "We are not at war with Iran". "We are not seeking regime change", "We did not target civilians".

That's called trying to manage expectations.

What did you think the expectations were? I mean, I don't recall seeing you in any of the planning meetings.

I guess you are trying to weasel your way out of your word salad. An act of war is not a declaration of war. Look them up to see the difference.

So, are you clapping or booing based on who the president is?

 

[JoeB131]

So, are you clapping or booing based on who the president is?

Um, no.

I'm booing because smart presidents don't do shit like this.

I mean, I think Dubya Bush was a complete f**king moron, but even he had the good sense not to invade Iran.

Nothing good comes of this.

But if you are a reality TV show huckster, "War with Iran" is just a distraction on Episode #22 to distract from the Epstein Files.

Smart presidents attack Serbia or Libya?
How were they a threat to the US?

 

[JoeB131]

Smart presidents attack Serbia or Libya?
How were they a threat to the US?

Actions in Serbia and Libya were done in conjunction with our NATO allies in support of forces that were in opposition to oppressive governments.

(That said, I was against both of those actions at the time as well.)

Mango Mussolini is just bombing shit hoping the Iranian people will rise up. (They won't)

Is Iran controlled by an oppressive government?

 

[JoeB131]

Is Iran controlled by an oppressive government?

Iran has elections.

Oppressive in that case is in the eye of the beholder. Most Iranians support their government, which is why this action will fail miserably.

Where is the opposition force we are supporting?

So, in your mind, Iran is not an oppressive government?

"Since the beginning of the 2025–2026 Iranian protests, there have been widespread massacres of Iranian civilians perpetrated by the Iranian government, which has deployed its own security forces and also imported foreign Shia militias (sourced from the "Axis of Resistance") to suppress widespread public dissent across the country. As of 25 January 2026, total death toll estimates ranged from 3,117 people (per the Iranian government)[5] to upwards of 36,500 people,[3][4][6] including 209 government-affiliated military and non-military personnel,[7] making these among the largest massacres in the modern history of Iran.[8]"

2026 Iran massacres - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"In 2019, the U.S. House of Representatives introduced H.R. 374 in support of the Iranian people's desire for a democratic, secular, and non-nuclear Iran while "condemning Iranian state-sponsored terrorism". It offers support for a 10-point plan proposed by leader of National Council of Resistance of Iran Maryam Rajavi, which includes universal suffrage, market economy and a non-nuclear Iran. The resolution also called for the prevention of "malign activities of the Iranian regime's diplomatic missions" and that the U.S. "stands with the people of Iran who are continuing to hold legitimate and peaceful protests" against the Iranian government. The bill was introduced by Rep. Tom McClintock and received bipartisan support from 221 House members.[122][123] According to McClintock, "There is a reason why a strong bipartisan majority in the United States House of Representatives has come together to co-sponsor this resolution condemning Iran's terrorist acts, it's because the world is watching the struggle for freedom in Iran, and it is cheering for your cause". He also mentioned that Iranian citizens have "taken to the streets and the airwaves" to protest against Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's regime, which he said has "lost any claim to legitimacy."[124]"
