Maybe to do with this, whatever it is?

“During an interview earlier today on Merit TV about the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, stated, “We’ve pulled off a number of surprises — when the dust settles — your going to see some surprises on Thursday night and Friday, that will make the “Beeper” operation almost seem simple.””

If NK says they're getting 'involved' I'm thinking the most likely way they would...would be to supply missiles. And those missiles could be dirty nuke, actual nuke, chemical or biological.

Question is, can they successfully delivery them into Iran (would Israel shoot down NK transports?) and will Iran have the necessary launch platform...unless NK delivered those too.

Message from VP Vance...

Look, I'm seeing this from the inside, and am admittedly biased towards our president (and my friend), but there's a lot of crazy stuff on social media, so I wanted to address some things directly on the Iran issue:

First, POTUS has been amazingly consistent, over 10 years, that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Over the last few months, he encouraged his foreign policy team to reach a deal with the Iranians to accomplish this goal. The president has made clear that Iran cannot have uranium enrichment. And he said repeatedly that this would happen one of two ways--the easy way or the "other" way.

Second, I've seen a lot of confusion over the issue of "civilian nuclear power" and "uranium enrichment." These are distinct issues. Iran could have civilian nuclear power without enrichment, but Iran rejected that. Meanwhile, they've enriched uranium far above the level necessary for any civilian purpose. They've been found in violation of their non-proliferation obligations by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which is hardly a rightwing organization.

It's one thing to want civilian nuclear energy. It's another thing to demand sophisticated enrichment capacity. And it's still another to cling to enrichment while simultaneously violating basic non-proliferation obligations and enriching right to the point of weapons-grade uranium.

I have yet to see a single good argument for why Iran needed to enrich uranium well above the threshold for civilian use. I've yet to see a single good argument for why Iran was justified in violating its non-proliferation obligations. I've yet to see a single good pushback against the IAEA's findings.

Meanwhile, the president has shown remarkable restraint in keeping our military's focus on protecting our troops and protecting our citizens.

He may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment. That decision ultimately belongs to the president. And of course, people are right to be worried about foreign entanglement after the last 25 years of idiotic foreign policy.

But I believe the president has earned some trust on this issue. And having seen this up close and personal, I can assure you that he is only interested in using the American military to accomplish the American people's goals. Whatever he does, that is his focus.— JD Vance (@JDVance) June 17, 2025

...

Then a post by a Gateway Pundant editor..

Are you saying Tulsi and the 18 US intelligence bodies backing the opposite findings less than 8 weeks ago are wrong or lying?https://t.co/xZ56625AGj— Cassandra MacDonald (@CassandraRules) June 17, 2025

...

Then Vance's response...

No, I'm not saying that. First off, Tulsi's testimony was in March, and a lot has changed since then. Second, if you look at what she said then, her point about uranium enrichment is consistent with what I wrote above.— JD Vance (@JDVance) June 17, 2025

Now, this is at Armageddon, at the end of the 7 years of Tribulation; the 7 years of ‘Peace and Security’

But the world is headed there. And nothing will stop it from coming. This is the burgeoning outcome building almost every single day of the week (some days, that is).


Zechariah 12:1-3
King James Version

1 The burden of the Word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the Earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a Cup of Trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a Burdensome Stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the Earth be gathered together against it.

Those religious cave dwelling throwbacks will never surrender. They're murderous religious zealots who don't fear death in a battle with the great satan (or the little satan).

While NK is clearly run by a power mad psychotic family, we don't see a lot of NK suicide bombers wanting to get their 72 virgins. They would likely only strike if they knew they could survive a counterattack (which of course is crazy).

Besides, if NK can make some much-needed money by transferring some nuclear missiles to Iran, they'd do it (if they haven't already).

THAT’s a pretty tiny tool. No wonder the Iranian mullahs are so grumpy. They have very teeny weeny warheads.
