Pretty sure both parties are considering that. Trump’s Christian holy war forced out the more moderator brought in the more extreme leader, and they killed the extremist leaders entire family. All of that nuclear material is still out there and this guy is much more apt to want to use it I just hope it stays on that side of the ocean.


There is zero evidence that Iran has a nuclear weapon. It's all just fearmongering and lying.

Iran's nuclear material was never enriched to weapons grade concentrations.

Nuclear material enriched at the level that they had does not equal a bomb.

Yes, and my point was that despite what you are saying being true, trumps holy war has put someone in charge that is more hardline and now very angry. All of the nuclear material exists. They might now consider doing what was not on the table before Trump started all this.

Video of a missile hitting Tel Aviv. You can see at least two the interceptor missiles failing to hit it.

Looks like two Patriots missiles(?) meaning the THAAD already failed. Patriots detonate before hitting the missiles. THAAD is much higher altitude and is a kinetic kill.

It's already been reported that as many as 50% of the missiles are not being intercepted. Israel cannot win this war. And their cities are being decimated. They can't even stop Hezbollah. And the Houthis have not even stepped in yet. Perhaps they're waiting for IDF to move assets north when they invade Lebanon. If the Arab states were smart they'd coordinate an invasion of Israel, break relations with the US, and seek agreements with China, Russia, and Iran. This is their best (perhaps last) chance since 73.

NATO is not involved in this war. Only the UK is giving any real aid but nothing offensive but it is hugely unpopular and may bring down the government.

Oil sales are tracked and published. The oil goes to refineries and the refinery have pipelines. You really can’t hide where the oil goes.

Good for them. US power and influence will be a distant memory soon.

Trump is an unreliable partner who has continuously insulted and tariffed them over the past year. They need to look out for the next 34 months until this incompetent moron is forever out of office.

Interceptors useless against cluster munitions. Because they split into 20 different bombs before they can be intercepted. They are banned by over 100 countries but there are no rules of engagement anymore since Israel/America have preemptively committed so many war crimes. And of course the biggest war criminal Israel hasn't signed on to the ban.


Iran’s cluster missiles scatter bombs and destruction across Israel
https://www.timesofisrael.com/irans-cluster-missiles-scattering-bombs-and-destruction-across-israel/

Iran has launched multiple ballistic missiles at Israel carrying cluster bomb warheads during the ongoing conflict, indiscriminately spreading small bombs in wide areas of the country.

The warhead of such missiles opens up while descending and scatters between 24 and up to 80 smaller munitions with around 2.5 kilograms (5.5 pounds) of explosives, in a radius of around 8 kilometers (5 miles), according to the Israel Defense Forces.

The munitions do not have their own propulsion or guidance and simply fall to the ground, where they are designed to explode on impact.

Israeli military officials said such a missile poses a threat to a much wider area than Iran’s other ballistic missile warheads, but the explosion from each of the cluster bombs is far smaller.

Trump IS TRAPPED In Iran Escalation Nightmare


There are a whole bunch of experts saying the Iranians have not used their best missiles and drones. They are still using old and outdated missiles to deplete the air defenses. The next stage of the war will be a lot more destructive in Israel, the gulf states and the US.

Though they have been saying it on long time.

I am sure there's a few Christian, Jewish and Muslim end times theologians that think its a good thing.

Israel ought to know how indiscriminately deadly cluster munitions are since they regularly use them against unarmed and unfortified civilian populations. Apparently, though, through the eyes of the Israeli, what is good for the goose is not good for the gander.

So Pathetic. This is the best they can say? From the lush that banned photographers?

And he says the Iranians are "cowering" underground... where the fk are those puzzy Israelis? Is Netanyahu hiding in Palm Beach again?

If the new guy has a heartbeat and a semifunctional brain, who cares what the Ayatollah looks like? In fact, why give the guy any more reason to inflict maximum pain to Trump's America?


Hegseth claims Iran's new supreme leader is "wounded and likely disfigured"

"Iran's leadership is in no better shape. Desperate and hiding they have gone underground, cowering. That's what rats do. We know the new so-called not-so-supreme leader is wounded and likely disfigured," Hegseth told reporters at a briefing.

How real and current are these analyses? There is very little info available on what Iranian targets have been hit, but there are numerous sources citing that the numbers of ballistic missile and drone launches by Iran have shrunk dramatically, and that Iran's attacks are already less than 10% of what they were at the beginning of the war. That suggests a significant reduction in Iran's capabilities, whether many stockpiles and launch sites destroyed, command and control significantly degraded and so on. While "experts" are saying one thing about Iran's attack capabilities, the observed evidence seems to be the opposite.

We also don't know the full extent of what Israeli and other targets they did or didn't hit. Israel doesn't seem to be admitting much and if anything are expanding and broadening their strikes and attacks, whether targets in Lebanon or even hitting Basij street checkpoints in downtown Tehran

If you look at this from the Iranian prospective. The US and Israel are crazy war mongers who want to total destruction of Iran.

There is nothing the Iranians can do but defend themselves against the US and Israel. Enter in to negotiations, you get attacked regardless of how the negotiations are proceeding. Sign a treaty, you get attacked. What are the options for Iran?

Listen to the rhetoric used in the US and Israel. Iran has not attacked a single country in 47 years and was more than capable of making a nuclear bomb if they had the desire. Yet it is a constant drum beat to destroy Iran.

The US and even crazier Israelis are rogue nations.
