True Conservative patriots like Harry Sisson are bravely speaking up against this move. It's obvious that Trump, a great man suffering from dementia at the end of his life, is being manipulated by shadowy Zionists of the Deep State.

I remain hopeful for the people of Iran but the apathy of so many supposedly freedom loving Americans, particularly left leaning, is jolting.

Sweetie what are you blabbering about exactly. It’s being reported in the New York Times, BbC, CNN, MSNBC, Reuters, The Atlantic, Al Jazeera, WSJ, NPR, and other outlets. Maybe you should broaden your horizons when following the news.

Nope. Barely any coverage. Looking at WaPo and NYT now and doesn’t even make the scroll of headlines / major articles. Lots of coverage of the Swiss tragedy and Mamdani, though. CNN, WSJ are same. So no, it’s not getting the coverage warranted.

And to the poster who mentions “Zios”, we’re talking about Iran, not Israel. Different country and one that has been severely oppressed by an Islamist theocracy that has ravaged civil rights, brutally oppressed women, gays, and anyone seen as counter to the dictatorship for decades. Please don’t let your Israel Derangement Syndrome interfere with your understanding of what’s taking place in Iran, how significant it is, and how it’s so telling that the same people who are all about “freedom from colonizers” in the Middle East are strangely quiet.

I looked at Al Jazeera yesterday, and nothing. Was not until this morning that a single story appeared.

He posted on Truth social "We are locked and loaded and ready to go"

Ali Larijani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council replied in a tweet that “The people of the US should know that Trump began the adventurism. They should take care of their own soldiers.”

Here’s the tweet. He is threatening military action if the regime shoots and kills protestors. Say what? So now we’re the policeman of the world? Because government forces shot and killed protestors in the following countries, besides Iran, in the past year. Is he going to attack them too?

- Kenya (June 2025: Police shot and killed at least 16 protesters during anti-government demonstrations).
- Nepal (September 2025: Security forces used live ammunition, killing at least 19–76 protesters in youth-led "Gen Z" protests).
- Cameroon (October–November 2025: Security forces shot and killed at least 48 civilians during post-election protests).
- Tanzania (October–November 2025: Police used live ammunition in election-related protests, killing hundreds according to reports).
- Morocco (October 2025: Police shot and killed at least 3 protesters during youth-led anti-government demonstrations).
