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.

This treachery by the U.S. peace negotiators turns my stomach. Trump used the ‘41 Jap method.
“Two Israeli officials claimed to Axios that Trump and his aides were only pretending to oppose an Israeli attack in public — and didn't express opposition in private. "We had a clear U.S. green light," one claimed. The goal, they say, was to convince Iran that no attack was imminent and make sure Iranians on Israel's target list wouldn't move to new locations. Netanyahu's aides even briefed Israeli reporters that Trump had tried to put the brakes on an Israeli strike in a call on Monday, when in reality the call dealt with coordination ahead of the attack, Israeli officials now say.“
You do a fine job of making yourself a laughingstock.
If this is true (link below) and Israel’s war with Iran is back and forth and continues, if Trump keeps being dusttacted and backs off on deportations as he said (video on X) lettiing “migrants” keep the hotel and leisure jobs that reports have said Americans were run out of, lets in lots of Chinese students (280-50]k) aa he said he now has no problem with, etc, the 2026 elections are lost.
“The great negotiator only engaged in deception as he prepared an attack on Iran”

There is a time for talk, and there is a time to fight. Pick a side. I have.
hard-spun in American English
(ˈhɑːrdˈspʌn) adjective.
(of yarn) compactly twisted in spinning.
As others on FR have noted, you are the laughingstock. Do you receive some compensation for your NeverTrump/Hate Israel BS? Or is your life truly this pathetic?
President Trump and President Netanyahu both, repeatedly, told Iran in no uncertain terms their nuclear facilities would be eliminated peacefully or else.
No one can claim President Trump didn’t warn Iran and give them many second chances.
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.
Laughable.
This has been in the works since at least early 2023.
“demolished any hopes of a nuclear deal”
This was planned before Trump was elected. Trump (obviously we don’t know for sure, but it looks like he held Israel back) gave the Iranians 60 days to start negotiations.
The Iran did not negotiate.
The United States might be a powerful country but that doesn’t mean our abilities are unlimited...sometimes countries go to war and there’s not a lot we can do about it.
Your post was amusing.
You admit you were duped on one issue and then expect us to believe you are not duped anymore.
Lol.
There was no point in wasting resources taking out the head of Iranian intelligence.
The Iranians will take care of that.
Lol.
Agree, planning has been years, not months.
What would you have done? Dictate to Israel that they couldn’t attack Iran? Trump tried negotiating with Iran. They weren’t interested, and it would appear that any involvement they did have was to buy time while getting ready to assemble their first nukes.
We didn’t want Cuba to have nukes. So why should Israel be OK with Iran having nukes?
Trump didn’t lie, in the least. He’s been trying to fulfill all of his promises, but he also lives in the real world - one in which nations like Iran are run by crazy people who think God wants them to kill Israelis and Americans.
Do you defend Iran? If so, on what basis? Are you blind to the fact that one of the goals of their crazy mullahs is to destroy America?
I believe the Iran strikes are warranted, apparently Tucker does not, I guess we part ways on this one.
Iran should have been defanged a long, long time ago.
