Israel's stunning and sprawling operation overnight targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, missile sites, scientists and generals followed eight months of intensive clandestine preparations.
Why it matters: The operation launched a new war in the Middle East that could draw in the U.S., demolished any hopes of a nuclear deal, and dealt arguably the biggest single blow to the Iranian regime since the 1979 revolution. And it is only just beginning. Driving the news: Israel is attempting to "eliminate" Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities in an operation expected to last at least several days, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced. Other Israeli officials said it could take weeks.

Iran and their proxies has been murdering thousands in just the recent year or so. Simply unacceptable. They are a kook nation, they shouldn't even be allowed guns imho much less nukes.
Agree!
“This treachery by the U.S. peace negotiators turns my stomach. Trump used the ‘41 Jap method.”
You evidently can’t read, besides being stupid. This strike was being planned long before Trump took office and was inevitable, no matter which president was in office. And the strike probably occurred yesterday because the Israelis feared Trump would indeed make a deal with Iran.
Well blow me down. I wonder if Iran has ever surprised another country with a surprise attack. Oh, that’s right I forgot. Proxies do Iran’s bidding.
I pray with open arms and on my knees the Israeli bombardment does not stop until the Ayatollah steps down and leaves the country of Iran!!
POTUS Trump did give Iran 60 days to negotiate a deal. Today is #61.
I know, Trump can set up a meeting with Putin and have Bibi or the Ukes who tried to decapitate Trump himself, take out Putin. Yeah, that’s ticket! Just set up another one of Trump’s BS “I just want to stop the killing” lying PR campaigns to lull the Russians into the trap, then boom, no more Putin.
I think Trump was talking about a meeting with Xi. Trump’s hot now. Go for the trifecta. What the hell, in Trump’s forever wars, forever might only be a couple of weeks.
Dumbass Iranians fell for the Jap ‘41 treachery.
What a strange statement. When Israel shoots back, it is a new war. They are trying to paint Israel as the aggressor.
Not only that, it's rather obvious that Iran has been at war with Israel for what, years, decades?
“Don’t let the propagandists lie to you.” - Tucker
Says the mullahs’ American mouthpiece
Oh no! Trump lied people died! Except he didn’t. Iran had 60 days. On the 60th day they had a good laugh and said they had opened a new hardened facility. The bombing started on the 61st day. Promises made and kept.
But even now Trump is willing to talk and negotiate. Of course the counter parties are a rapidly changing cast of characters.
It is laughable that you claim Russia and Iran believed Trump’s lies. Haven’t both of them repeatedly exclaimed they don’t trust the US? The fact is both of those countries are weak and cannot stop an attack. Iran couldn’t stop this one it has been widely predicted and telegraphed by Israel and the US.
If Iran and Russia want peace they can simply leave other countries alone.
Tucker is making the case for more war. News flash Tucker, if Iran was capable of doing any part of his overwrought post they would have already done it. They have already conducted bombings on bases and shipping. They have bombed our embassies. Or does Tucker think that somehow they can just up the tempo?
He said that in March. Guess what, Israel has just made it far less likely that Iran will do anything against us.
Tired of the pumping up of third world bullies into omnipotent powers. Rosevelt knew how to handle pirates. At one time we understood how to handle the troops of despotic kings, Rebs, Japs, and Nazis.
Trump’s onlY concern was the price of oil. Did anyone wonder about the approvals and permitting flurry of activity around oil and gas production? Think it is coincidental.
Tucker is a click baiting idiot.
Hopefully at least you know what you mean.
Um… Israel have been planning this operation for eight months, before Trump was even in office. You must be upset that the Israelis didn’t tell Biden.
“ Whether or not Iran was right to want to attack the Great Satan is another matter. I believe they were wrong to want to destroy the United States.”
FAFO Well, We ran found out.
Axios.
And a bunch of stuff claimed by unnamed “Israeli officials.”
Yes, this is solid, irrefutable stuff here. 🙄
paid russkie anti-Trump troll, hardspunned, and axios are totally butthurt that russkie ally iran had it’s nuclear capability blowed up ...
am totally LMAO at axios statement: “demolished any hopes of a nuclear deal” ... though indeed, demolishing iran’s nuclear capabilities demolishes any NEED for a nuclear “deal”, a deal that we all know that iran would NEVER, EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE ACTUALLY HONOR ...
we can all thank God and Israel for destroying iran’s nuclear capability: nukes in the hands of iran would be the ultimate world destabilizing force and would guarantee a nuclear WWIII within a few years ....
I hear ya, but I’m waiting on battle damage assessment.
I’m terribly worried the centrifuges are still spinning inside that mountain …
Trump was again, like always, brilliantly deceptive. It is your comment here that has made you the laughing stock. You’d make a lousy leader against enemies.
OH my allah
“I’m terribly worried the centrifuges are still spinning inside that mountain “
i think the bigger issue is the enriched uranium stockpile that supposedly is atomic-bomb ready ...
Eat it, warmonger!
