lol the agreement Obama had with Iran was a bad deal that contained a lot of sunset clauses that would have led to to Iran having a nuclear weapon.

Israel wouldn't have launched an attack on Iran unless they thought there'd be no consequences from the US and they knew Trump is weak (as shown by how all other leaders treat Trump) - no one listens to Trump nor do they respect him.
lol what?

They’ve been pushing outward for the last year with their BS..

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdj9vj8glg2o.amp

Can you honestly say if Obamas toothless legislation was still in place Israel would be fine with the current state of Iran? lol please.

Iran is the only legitimate threat in the Middle East to Israel regardless of whether they have enriched nuclear materials or not. Do you think Israel gives a shit about prehistoric countries like Lebanon?

This whole wah wah wah Trump hard on that happens here gets in the way of the actual reality of the situation.

100 percent. Orange Turd really thinks that the US air force's B2 Bombers destroyed all of Iran's nuclear capability? Although six bombers dropped 12 bunker buster bombs on Fordow, and inflicted severe damage on two other facilities, what makes him think that the US can scare Iran into a ceasefire?

CNN reports that Iran's military moved their 400 kg stockpile of 60 percent enriched uranium to a covert location days before the B2 bombers dropped bombs on Fordow and the two other facilities. 90 percent enriched uranium is the threshold for making a nuke from what I read in the news.

Yahoo and the Iranian government can continue to fight each other to break the ceasefire. What is Trump gonna do? Order another aerial bombing??

CNN

The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by four people briefed on it.

The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command in the aftermath of the US strikes, one of the sources said.

U.S. airstrikes in Iran did not destroy key components of the country’s nuclear facilities as originally confirmed by President Donald Trump’s administration.

In an exclusive report from CNN, three sources briefed on intelligence of the operation claimed that the damage done to the Iran’s nuclear program “likely only set it back by months.”

The attack, named Operation Midnight Hammer, targeted multiple facilities in Iran in an effort to prevent the country from manufacturing nuclear weapons. Using B-2 bombers, American forces dropped more than a dozen GBU-57 bombs — known as “bunker busters” — to get to Iran’s underground facilities.

While Trump and other administration officials praised the operation as an overwhelming success that will render Iran incapable of continuing its nuclear program, early intelligence dictates that may not be the case.

The report continued:

Two of the people familiar with the assessment said Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was not destroyed. One of the people said the centrifuges are largely “intact.”

“So the (DIA) assessment is that the US set them back maybe a few months, tops,” this person added.

The White House acknowledged the existence of the assessment but said they disagreed with it.

In a statement obtained by CNN, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the report “flat-out wrong” and said the alleged leaker was an “anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community.”

Trump Signals Sanctions Relief for China to Buy Iran’s Oil

“President Donald Trump said China could purchase oil from Iran, in an apparent reversal of policy after his administration spent months imposing sanctions on Chinese refineries for buying Iranian crude,” the Financial Times reports.

Said Trump: “China can now continue to purchase oil from Iran. Hopefully, they will be purchasing plenty from the U.S., also. It was my Great Honor to make this happen!”

Republicans/Neocons have been wanting to go to war with Iran for damn near a half century now, they will use whatever excuse they can to leverage such a war. This whole nuclear bomb crap stinks of Iraq's WMD argument.

People have such a lack of understanding of the Iranians, as if they're some kind of suicidal society, built on some kind of a cult. It makes perfect sense Iran wants to acquire a nuclear weapon, it's purely for deterrent. Ukraine wouldn't be in the position they're in today if they didn't disarm. Why shouldn't they be allowed to do so?

If you think Iran would utilize a nuke to wipe Israel off the map to their own mutually assured destruction, you are crazy, and you're listening to bombastic propaganda.

This is a leadership issue, both Iran and Israel need regime changes entirely to allow peace in this bloody region, the people want it, their governments don't.

100 percent. You're right. The very difficult part is regime change in Iran.

Trump told reporters today that the U.S. would not be involved in regime change. No military action in terms of putting American troops in Iran to kill the Iranian leaders.

Trump is a dumbass but he's not dumb enough to risk his approval rating and presidency by getting the U.S. involved in a protracted war in the Middle East. Why risk the U.S. in getting fall out from terrorist attacks on its military or civilian targets by having the American military kill the Iranian leaders?

Although the Iranian people want the regime change, overthrowing the current leaders to put in new leaders in power is another matter. Good luck with that.

Israel vs Iran

This is the first that I have heard a U.S. President drop a F bomb to answer a reporter’s question.

TACO unloads a big bomb.

Trump does not hide his feelings, that’s for sure hahah.

Talk about the swearing in of a President haha.

It's telling we live in a time when Trump dropping an F-bomb gets as much coverage as him ordering actual bombs to be dropped.

Mark my words, he's loving every second of this.

So were the bombs a failure? We should start dropping bacon, cheaper too and they can't say we starved them.

"Israel killed at least 14 scientists in an unprecedented attack on Iran’s nuclear know-how"

I can't confirm or deny, but given the situation, I'm doubtful they have ALL of these amazing nuclear scientist all at the facility at the same time at 2 AM in the morning.
(Natanz and Fordow were hit about 2:30 a.m.)

Unless scientist - anyone in a lab coat on site who's a janitor.

Don't forget Israel has been bombing Iran like 7 days before US dropped da bomb. Possible that many of the scientists were taken out.

Let's all go out to Caza and have some skewers and hug it out.
