U.S. Attacks Iran as Trump Calls for Overthrow of Government​

The United States and Israel on Saturday launched a major attack on Iran, with President Trump vowing to devastate the country’s military, eliminate its nuclear program and bring about a change in its government.

Large explosions shook the Iranian capital, Tehran, where people reported seeing smoke rising from the district that includes the presidential palace. Witnesses described chaos in the streets as Iranians rushed to seek shelter, find loved ones or flee the city.

The American-led attack appeared to herald a much broader regional crisis. Iranian news media reported that Iran had targeted at least four U.S. military bases across the Persian Gulf — including in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, which said they had come under attack.

Iran also fired multiple waves of ballistic missiles at Israel, prompting booms in the skies as Israeli air defenses sought to repel them. Air-raid sirens sounded across the country, sending Israelis running to fortified shelters.

Mr. Trump vowed that the “massive and ongoing” campaign would target not just Iran’s nuclear program, which was the focus of a U.S. attack last June. Instead, Mr. Trump said the United States would “raze their missile industry to the ground” and “annihilate their navy,” arguing that Iran had refused to reach a deal with the United States that would have averted war.

As it turns out, trump really likes blowing things up. Trade deals, nuclear agreements, people, America's participation in the Paris Climate Accords. Anyone who didn't see the attack on Iran coming hasn't been paying attention to Don's increasingly militaristic track record. I think this makes 7 counties he has ordered bombings of during trump 2.0. Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Iraq, Nigeria, Yemen, and Somalia.

But heck, he sure did push the missing Epstein files off the front page for a few days. So in the words of Shrub............Mission Accomplished.

Trump is the leader who stops war

He`s recruiting terrorists and we have plenty of airliners that can be blown out of the sky...again. How did our search for WMDs work out?

 

[gipper]

Yet another war for Israel.

There may be a lot of cleaning up that is needed. Our politicians are polar opposites now. And tha tis with a leftward party moving further left and the other one where it is moderate at best.

In Trump’s Case for War, a Series of False or Unproven Claims​

As they made their public case this week for another American military campaign against Iran, President Trump and his aides asserted that Iran has restarted its nuclear program, has enough available nuclear material to build a bomb within days, and is developing long-range missiles that will soon be capable of hitting the United States.

All three of these claims are either false or unproven.

American and European government officials, international weapons monitoring groups and reports from American intelligence agencies give a far different picture of the urgency of the Iran threat than the one the White House has presented in recent days.

Iran has taken steps to dig out the nuclear facilities hit during strikes last June by Israel and the United States, and it has resumed work at some sites long known to American spy agencies. But the officials said that there isn’t evidence that Iran has made active efforts to resume enriching uranium or trying to build a mechanism to detonate a bomb.

The stockpiles of uranium that Iran has already enriched remain buried after last year’s strikes, making it nearly impossible for Iran to build a bomb “within days.”

The regime has been lying about the pretense for war. Just like Bush did before invading Iraq. A war Dotard heavily criticized after he was for it.

 

[pknopp]

I sadly once again have to point out we have been at constant war for the last quarter century. Off and on constantly before that.

So Trump climbs on board with Bush and Cheney, Obama and Hillary, Biden (or someone or another).

We will never learn and there will be a price to pay.

I know you lefties are so proud of Jimmy Carter’s legacy and major accomplishment: the Iranian Regime.

Well it’s over now, finally. This is why we should never elect Democrats, their messes can take decades to clean up.

I confess to growing a bit tired of your default position for everything. Namely, "No one and nothing can be legitimately criticized because they're all the same." The absurdity of that position being made more obvious with each passing day.

When you refuse to condemn your guy (and you do refuse) your complaints about the other guy fall on deaf ears because the supporters of the other guy know you supported the same thing when it was your guy.

We will never learn.

Wow, that deflection came out of nowhere. Is it also Carter's fault that trump withdrew the US from the JCPOA which agreed upon inspections proved was working?

Have you considered putting that pablum on your headstone? It appears to be your all encompassing philosophy to explain everything under the sun. Pardon me if I stop responding to it.

Let's hear how 8 years of war under Obama was the right thing to do.

Trump announces attack on Iran, says US will 'destroy' its missiles

The U.S. aims to wipe out Iran's ballistic missile program, prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon and help its people seize control, Trump said.

At least we don't have to endure the Kabuki theater of the epically unqualified US negotiators son-in-law Prince Jared and real estate developer Steve Witkoff pretend talks with Iran were anything but a setup for Dotard saying they wouldn't meet our demands so...................

We are now a rogue nation. Welcome to trumpworld.

Yeah. Suddenly the flock is back into nation-building and sticking our nose everywhere, and all the excuses are lined up and ready to go.

In 13 months, we've bombed countries, kidnapped people, threatened countries, punished countries, mocked, insulted and trolled countries, and it's not going to stop. I guess Cuba is next.

What a damn shame. I would have sworn we were better than this. There are many benefits to being in a Mafia family, but it comes at a cost.
