Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have launched a sweeping strike on Iran following months of attempted, and seemingly failed, nuclear negotiations between the Trump administration and Tehran, but according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the U.S. was not involved in the strikes.
"Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran," Rubio said in a statement Thursday night. "We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region.
"Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defense," he added.

Likely will be similar to last time. Iran doesn’t have the cards. Especially with Trump around.
Heh, I wonder now if Trump’s *negotiations* were anything more than a distraction.
I expect that this is going to lead to a wider war.
No doubt there will be strikes on Israel within a few hours, and then general war in the Persian Gulf as terminals and refineries burn.
There will be more than one attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz.
Terrorist cells will be activated.
The price of oil will soar.
It’s going to be a big friggin’ mess.
Will Bibi microwave a Mullah or two. Dont want to see innocent Persians get Radiation.
Appears sanctity of boarders is situational.
Nah
Well not unless you think Trump is lying about not being involved in these attacks.
Israel wiped out Iran’s entire military wing and made a direct hit on a nuke facility
I hope with AI we can replace Baldwin with Nicolas Cage and then the movie will be watchable again.
“Israel wiped out Iran’s entire military wing”
Highly unlikely.
And that is the end of Israel donating Patriot missiles to Ukraine.
Yup. But sometimes it’s a worse mess if we put it off to later.
I wonder that too. I also wonder if Netenyahu planned this to time with the 250th Military parade in DC with 18 miles of unscalable fencing around DC that could help protect against Sleeper cell attacks.
Or maybe Trump wanted Bibi to wait until he’d seen Les Miserable at the Kennnedy Center last night. Kidding.
Like Mike said in Breaking Bad, “no more half measures.”
I think it more likely that Israel’s Deep State just double crossed us.
Maybe hand in glove with Iran...
