Today (Tuesday), the White House posted on X, quoting President Trump: “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!”
Trump’s rhetoric has oscillated between advocating for diplomacy and issuing threats of military action. For instance, he has pushed for a new nuclear deal since taking office in January 2025,
As Iran passed the 60 day limit Trump had given them to come to a deal regarding their nuclear weapons ambitions, Trump has changed his tune.
He sent the USS Nimitz and its accompanying strike group to the Middle East. They have crossed the Singapore Strait and are now en route to the Persian Gulf, according to military tracking sources. The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is expected to arrive in the region within the next two to three days.
After the White House article, Trump posted the following strange message from Mike Huckabee to his Truth Social account, in which Huckabee told him: “You don’t choose the moment, the moment chooses you. Listen to the voice of God and you’ll know what to do.”
Sending the Nimitz, plus White House article, plus the message, plus the U.S. deployment of F-22s and F-35s, plus reports that the US is now sending some 15 refueling aircraft to the Middle East, point more and more to the probability of nearing escalation, and of the US joining Israel's fight against Iran's nuclear weapons capabilities

Senator Tim Kaine, whose war powers resolution, introduced on June 16, invokes the 1973 War Powers Act to demand congressional authorization for any U.S. military action against Iran. “The American people have no appetite for another endless war,” Kaine declared, echoing sentiments from progressive Democrats like Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Sanders accused Israel of sabotaging U.S.-Iran talks, while Senator Chris Murphy labeled the strikes a “reckless escalation.”

I voted for no wars. Take care of home first.
Taking care of home means “taking care of” (permanently suppressing) those who have been crying “Death to America...death to the Great Satan” for the past 45 1/2 years.
A BEATIFUL way would be for several countries to help Iran’s sane population to form their own army and have an election to form their government.
Remember ‘444 Days’ America Held

Yes it’s Been An Endless War.
Blah blah blah.
“CLEAR signals of POSSIBLE imminent US involvement”
This person doesn’t know what clear means, or possible or imminent or even involvement.
It’s certain that maybe possibly there might be some sort of involvement right away!!!
Gosh, what an informative report.
This is a golden opportunity to insert US bases in Iran and have a positive foreign power as an ally before china invades.
It is going to be a bumpy ride.
The ride began on November 4, 1979, like a bronco coming out of the chute.
‘ Taking care of home means “taking care of” (permanently suppressing) those who have been crying “Death to America...death to the Great Satan” for the past 45 1/2 years.’
Words no longer have meaning. How Orwellian of you.
Speculation... Which is all these articles are.
I believe the hidden planet 9 is involved and will soon be sending an interdimensional craft capable of wiping out mulims and liberals. At least that’s my wish.
The warships are just a negotiation threat and to prevent any attack on American bases in the area. Iran is about to surrender. Their warfighters are defecting in droves and a massive amount of their missile launchers are being destroy. Iran will be completely defenseless soon.
Well, it looks like the only win Iran will achieve is getting Freepers at each others throats.
Tomorrow the Shah’s grandson should step up, declare Iran a free country and call for immediate elections. Thats why the Nimitz is going there. It’s to stop the Iranian Guards from killing their own people.
Did your kid make that n picture?
‘ Thats why the Nimitz is going there. It’s to stop the Iranian Guards from killing their own people.’
Lol
...and this could END IT.
Would we ever put boots on the ground there? A limited aerial bombardment is one thing but no troops.
Iran doesn’t want a Shah. If he goes back, it is likely he would get strung up with the Mullahs.
Let them figure it out for themselves. As long as they keep their nonsense in the country, no one should care. But they have to stop exporting jihad.
