Iran says US ‘must receive a response’ after Trump’s strikes on nuclear sites

Iran has warned the US to brace for retaliation after Donald Trump’s administration joined Israel in its war against Tehran, tearing up his isolationist foreign policy and launching the most consequential intervention in a conflict in a generation.

Almost a day after US strikes targeting three key Iranian nuclear sites, Iran’s president, Masoud Pezeshkian, told France’s Emmanuel Macron: “The Americans must receive a response to their aggression,” signalling a potential Iranian reprisal that could drag the US into a new, protracted conflict in the Middle East.

Trump insisted the airstrikes were a limited intervention, urged Tehran to negotiate an end to its attempts to build a nuclear weapon and warned that striking US troops would lead to a brutal US military campaign.

Meanwhile the US build up in the region continues aggressively.

Tonnage.

And more tonnage.

The people have risen before. Will they do it now under better circumstances? When a country gets attacked they tend to follow their own. The prospect of a civil war could scare those that want change. We may need the dissension to marinate for awhile as they rethink their options. An effective boycott could disturb the excrement.

How about “We unconditionally surrender” ?

This response is like a Monty Python skit, “What are you going to do? Bleed on me?”

A lot of Iranians applaud what we did. Iran leadership is a bit like Iraq’s. Remember Baghdad Bob? 🤣

They talk big...

To them dying is better than living and killing others better than any kindness.

These people are incapable of compromise and anything short of overwhelming strength is viewed by them as opportunity for mischief

I’m really hoping the military planned 10 steps ahead for every conceivable Iranian response and how we respond to that and how they respond to our response and so on, so on.

They did rise up when Obama was in office and he just gave Iran money to help suppress the rebellion. So I don’t think they want to get burned again by the USA.

“..They think god is on their side...”

Their god, Satan, is on their side...they’re not wrong, just diabolically evil.

All I can say to that is Trump is not Obama.
Also, Basij facilities have been thumped during the IDF strikes.

For some reason every time I read Iran and bomb, I think of The Clash and Rock the Casbah!

“ “The Americans must receive a response to their aggression,”

I think we would be more than happy to receive the heads of the mullahs and the IRG commanders.

The correct response would be unconditional surrender, Masoud.

You’re really not very bright of you haven’t figured that out.
