Trump has told everyone in Tehran to evacuate. And he has just left the G7 a day early and is convening the National Security Council in the Situation Room tonight. I'd say Iran has about 12 hours to decide to abandon its nuclear program. And if they don't, I suspect there might be a couple of B-2s in the air soon delivering a few $50 million 10,000 pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs to destroy Iran's underground nuclear facilities at Fordow. The ball is in Iran's court now.

President Trump just posted an ominous warning on his social media platform TruthSocial
Iran should have signed the “deal” I told them to sign.
What a shame, and waste of human life.
Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
I said it over and over again!
Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!

If the backwards rebel group in Yemen can disrupt U.S. air operations so easily, how can America conduct effective air operations against a more sophisticated adversary?
According to new reporting from the New York Times, a Houthi surface-to-air (SAM) missile barely missed an American F-35 fifth-generation fighter, the crown jewel of the U.S. fighter inventory. The F-35, participating in Operation Rough Rider against the Houthis, was forced to take evasive action to avoid the missile.
The incident raises questions about the survivability of one of America’s most advanced fighters, and raises concerns over how effective the relatively unsophisticated Houthi air defense system has been at hampering U.S. action.
“Several American F-16s and an F-35 fighter jet were nearly struck by Houthi air defenses, making real the possibility of American casualties,” military analyst Gregory Brew posted on X, adding that the Houthis were successful in shooting down “seven American MQ-9 drones (around $30 million each), hampering Central Command’s ability to track and strike the militant group.”

Almost does not count in combat. Like saying “I almost won the lottery”.
I almost hit my target is called a miss.
The F-35 is almost 25 years old now and approaching end of life. It will definitely serve for another 20 but there are newer platforms out there the US has.
Is there any actual evidence that any F-35s have been shot down / captured for study? I can't find any. The only stuff I've seen out there is either bad AI, or photoshop, or videos from video games.
There is zero evidence that a F-35 has been shot down over Iran. Much less three. It's just propaganda. But even for Iran, it's pretty pathetic propaganda.
Oh it is all over the web. Apparently the Chinese are already there. These kind is things that show Israel in a bad light take about 6 months to year to come out. US and Israel are sitting on the story.
Israel’s hiding how bad they were hit this weekend. They’re underreporting the casualty numbers as well
Perhaps, but likely irrelevant. Pretty clear that they’ve degraded Iran’s air defenses to the point where Israel can strike at will.
Unless Iran has the capability to inflict FAR more damage than it has so far, Israel is going to inflict a crushing defeat.
The government had to ban Israelis from fleeing the country. This is really bad.
