War with Iran

Anonymous
I ain’t reading your ChatGPT crap.

We know what Israel is.

Israel killed more than 150 young girls yesterday. Please don’t tell me you care about Iranian women or any non-Jewish people. The facts state something else.

It’s a shame they don’t involve you in their plans considering you are such an accomplished military mind and all. If you know anything about our military, they don’t take orders from any foreign power. This is a joint operation. It appears the US is targeting nuclear sites and striking missile launching sites while Israel is taking out Iran’s leadership. This is what a coordinated joint effort looks like.


Sadly that is no longer true. This entire fiasco in Iran is not in the national security interest of the United States.

Besides Trump obliterated Iran’s nuclear sites last summer, right?


Bullshit it isn’t in our interest. I can only assume with a statement like that you are young and naive.

A summary of a thread from X:

THREAD: For 47 years, the Iranian Regime has been regularly targeting and killing Americans.

Here is a timeline of 50 plus examples of Iran hurting America and terrorizing the world.

1979: The Iranian regime took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran resulting in a 444‑day hostage crisis.

1983: The Iranian regime provided material support to Hezbollah for the Beirut Marine barracks bombing that killed 241 U.S. service members.

1984: The Iranian regime’s proxy Hezbollah kidnapped CIA station chief William Buckley in Beirut. Buckley died in captivity.

1984: The Iranian regime’s proxy Hezbollah carried out the truck bomb attack on the U.S. Embassy annex in Beirut, killing 24.

1985: The Iranian regime’s proxy Hezbollah hijacked TWA Flight 847, during which a U.S. Navy diver was murdered.

1988: The Iranian regime carried out mass executions of prisoners, an atrocity still under international scrutiny.

1989: Supreme Leader Khomeini issued a regime fatwa calling for Salman Rushdie’s death, inciting murder abroad.

1992: Iranian regime operatives assassinated Kurdish dissidents in Berlin (the Mykonos murders), later tied by German authorities to senior Iranian decision‑makers.

994: Argentina’s top criminal court blamed Iran for directing Hezbollah to bomb the AMIA Jewish center in Buenos Aires (85 killed).

2007: Iran abduction of retired FBI Special Agent Robert A. “Bob” Levinson from Kish Island, Iran, on March 9, 2007.

2007: U.S. courts held Iran responsible for providing material support to Hezbollah for the 1983 Beirut attack, underscoring long‑standing regime sponsorship of terror.

2011- 2013: Iranian regime‑linked hackers conducted coordinated DDoS attacks on U.S. banks, costing tens of millions.

2013: The same Iranian regime cyber campaign included compromising a U.S. dam control system (Bowman Avenue Dam), per U.S. indictments.

2012: Iranian regime and Hezbollah operatives carried out bomb attacks targeting Israeli embassy staff in India and Georgia.

2012: Investigators linked the Bangkok blasts to the same wave of suspected Iranian regime operations targeting Israeli diplomats.

2012: Israeli officials explicitly blamed the regime’s IRGC‑Quds Force for masterminding that diplomat‑targeting attack wave.

2015: Iranian forces fired on and boarded the Maersk Tigris in the Gulf, seizing the vessel.

2016: IRGC forces detained 10 U.S. Navy sailors after their boats entered Iranian waters, using public humiliation as coercion.

2017: Reuters reported a sharp rise in IRGC detentions of dual nationals (hostage‑style leverage), a pattern the regime used repeatedly.

2018: Denmark said an Iranian intelligence service planned an assassination on Danish soil.

2018: A Belgian court case centered on an Iranian diplomat convicted for planning a bomb attack near Paris.

2019: The IRGC shot down a U.S. military drone.

2019: The Iranian regime exceeded the nuclear deal’s enriched‑uranium stockpile limit, accelerating proliferation risk.

2019: The regime further breached nuclear‑deal constraints.

2019: The IRGC seized the British‑flagged tanker Stena Impero in the Strait of Hormuz.

2019: The regime ordered a lethal crackdown on nationwide protests; Reuters reported about 1,500 killed.

2020: Iran launched ballistic missiles at bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq (Ain al‑Asad/Erbil), a direct regime strike.

2020: U.S. officials confirmed American troops were treated for concussions after that Iranian missile attack.

2021: A drone attack on the tanker Mercer Street killed two crew; the incident was attributed by U.S./UK/Israel officials to Iran.

2021: U.S. prosecutors charged Iranian intelligence officials with plotting to kidnap journalist Masih Alinejad from New York for rendition to Iran.

2021: The DOJ charged Iranian nationals for a cyber‑enabled campaign to intimidate U.S. voters and undermine confidence in the 2020 election.

2022: U.S. authorities charged an IRGC member with plotting to assassinate John Bolton inside the United States.

2022: Mahsa Amini died after detention by the regime’s morality police, triggering a nationwide uprising against state violence.

2022: Iran agreed to supply Russia more drones and missiles, enabling strikes that hit Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.

2023: Reuters detailed a U.S.–Iran detainee exchange that hinged on regime detention of Americans—an example of Iran’s state hostage leverage.

2023: October 7 Attack where Iran-backed Hamas terrorists murdered more than 1,200 innocent men, women, and children — including 46 Americans.

2023: Iran‑backed Hezbollah exchanged fire with Israel as regional violence expanded after Oct. 7.
2023 continued: Hezbollah launched rockets from Lebanon and Israel struck back, demonstrating Iran’s proxy pressure on Israel’s northern border.

U.S. forces in Iraq were targeted by drones, as Iran‑aligned groups resumed a sustained attack pattern.

U.S. officials said they expected more Iran‑backed attacks on U.S. troops, underscoring regime‑enabled proxy warfare.

The White House said Iran was in some cases “actively facilitating” rocket and drone attacks by proxies on U.S. bases.

Iran‑aligned Houthis escalated attacks on commercial shipping, triggering widespread rerouting and supply‑chain disruption.

2024:

Persistent Iranian-backed Houthi strikes on shipping.

A drone strike by an Iran‑backed militia killed three U.S. troops at Tower 22 in Jordan, a major escalation against U.S. forces.

Iran’s Quds Force commander visited Baghdad and helped modulate militia attacks, demonstrating regime command influence over proxies.

Iran provided Russia ballistic missiles, deepening Tehran’s role in a war affecting European security.

Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles directly at Israel, an unprecedented overt regime attack.

The IRGC seized the MSC Aries (“linked to Israel”), boarding it by helicopter and diverting it to Iran—state piracy-style coercion.

Iran’s overseas “murder‑for‑hire” style plots and proxy operations against Israel‑linked targets in the West exposed.

2024: Reuters reported EU action driven by Iran’s policy of detaining foreigners as leverage—reinforcing the regime’s wrongful‑detention pattern.

2025: Iran’s IRGC seized a foreign tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, continuing regime maritime coercion in a critical global chokepoint.

2026: Reuters reported the U.S. designated Iran a state sponsor of wrongful detention.



Blah blah blah.

Your timeline is truncated in terms of your start date.

And Trump obliterated the nuclear sites last summer, right? So no need to waste blood and treasure “obliterating” them a second time, right???

But I was born in the 1970s. I remember the shocking barbarism of the fatwa against Mr. Rushdie. I remember the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorism of the 1980s, the 1994 suicide attack on the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing. I remember Terry Anderson and Terry Waite. I remember that al Qaeda members, including Osama bin Laden’s son, were given sanctuary in Iran after 9/11.

Any American over 50 knows who started it. The claim that Iran is the world’s No. 1 state sponsor of terrorism is more than words. It strikes deep. The Islamic Republic has waged war on the West and Western values for half a century. The Foundation for Defense of Democracies keeps a handy tally of Tehran’s long and bloody résumé. Check it out sometime.”

Wow, I wonder who it was that put all
of that into motion. Oh yeah, it was decade after decade of the US destabilizing Iran. Here we are again, and this time with the dumbest and least capable US administration in 250 years.


Another ignorant statement. All you are doing is parroting words of the communists cheering for Iran.


Ok you are just stupid. I’m sorry that I tried to engage, I erroneously assumed that you had some basic background in world events.

If you can’t acknowledge history then you can’t be taken seriously. You should at least make it through a couple of basic wikis before you return.

When the bill comes to pay for the replenishment of interceptors and munitions the middle eastern countries that we have been protecting need to pay for it. We aren't cutting more Medicaid, food stamps for protecting these countries in a war of choice and not in our interest.

That would be nice, but those countries have already paid when they replenished Donald Trump's personal accounts.

What happens when Russia joins the war to support its Iranian ally?


They’re not going to do that.


I doubt that too. But I think it’s highly likely that china supplies Iran with lots of missiles and drones to keep this going for a while. They won’t get actively involved, but they’ll take the opportunity to bleed our munitions stocks dry so we won’t be able to stop them from taking Taiwan.

That's plausible.

China cant take over Taiwan without leveling the island. But they want the semiconductor plants.

China does not even need to prepare for a war with us over Taiwan. We are self destructing.

This is a good piece:

The Taiwanese will willingly join them. They have no alternative now. The Japanese are PISSED that the US didn’t give them the customary heads up. China is now eying Japan. Taiwan is small change.

This is incredibly stupid. Zero chance any of the above happens in the near term.

Serious question. Do old white boomers enjoy listening to other white boomers tell fairy tales? I'm curious about the MAGA crowd. Any insight would be welcomed.

Now do the same for Russia, North Korea, Afghanistan, Israel, etc. Do you remember the brutality of the Shah of Iran’s secret police? Do you remember when the US and UK had the elected democratic government of Iran killed off and replaced by the Shah?

Do you remember 45% of the population of Iran being kid off during WW2 by the allies?

Given all the evil in the world why Iran and why now? Because Bibi saw a weak old man.


You sound like a propagandist for the state of Israel. The WSJ has no credibility on this. Just like you. How much more should the US give in treasury and lives of Americans for Israel? This is just the invasion of Iraq all over again.

Israel has already started the drum beat to go after Turkey. Can’t wait to hear your garbage excuses and wish casting as you scream the real threat has always been Turkey.
