President Donald Trump issued another warning to Tehran on Friday, saying “Iran should make a deal.” At a news conference, he described the situation as very sad and said the Iranian people are better than their leaders, adding that 32,000 protesters were killed in a short period of time.
Amid the threats, The New York Times reported that Washington is preparing for a range of scenarios, including a broader confrontation than last year’s. Pentagon officials said hundreds of troops have been evacuated from Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, and personnel have also been moved from a cluster of US bases in Bahrain, home to the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet.
Days after last year’s US strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, all sides agreed to a ceasefire. But this time could be different, experts told The Times. In June, the United States joined a campaign launched by Israel, with Trump giving the military a defined objective: bomb nuclear facilities and delay Iran’s ability to produce a nuclear weapon.

Seriously why? We blew up reactors as Israel wanted and they promised to back off but didn’t. No you have people saying we need to blow them up more because nukes than Netnayahu’s has been screaming about since the early 90’s.
Israel blew them up with ombs and pagers. They’ve decimated their Hizbollah, crushed their oil in Venezuela and forced China and Russia also.
Is it only Israel why we’re going to blow them up again?
What is the reason for this? Oil? Terrorism other countries?
If so why not have the Sunni’s the EU or ANY OTHER country be the lead?
We can’t even dump all the illegals in our own nation and we’re going to blow up Iran after crushing them six months ago. Who pays us back?
Only a very small number of Americans want a prolonged war with Iran.
It take a fool, full of leftist/woke propaganda to believe Israel has anything to do with this.
The US has legitimate and essential reasons to take out the regime in Iran.
- They have sworn our destruction
- They have demonstrated their blood animus by killing and maiming, both directly and indirectly, thousands of US troops.
- They refuse to give up the means to bring about our destruction.
This would be happening whether Israel existed or not.
But it does serve to expose Jew hate.
This is not what I voted for.
Iran is not a MAGA problem. Lower my goddamned taxes.
Judging by the weaponry Iran has demonstrated, this won’t be a prolonged conflict.
The Phantom is their most advanced planes, which seemingly can be crashed without firing any missiles. All they really have at this point are guns. They can’t wage a war against the US and target the Iranian at the same time.
You do sound distressed, but the way that I am looking at this is that, in his first term, Trump wanted to end the US involvement Afghanistan. It is then, that he found out who the Swamp really is and how deep it is. Biden killed more than a dozen Americans and gave the Taliban over 80 billion dollars in US weapons, just to make it clear to Trump.
Fast-forward to now and the MIC is the Swamp and cannot be drained. Fine. At least it can work FOR America, and not against it. Venezuela is a start at restoring the Monroe Doctrine - even a hemisphere may not save us. Iran is an end to Muslims messing with the Bomb.
Trump thought he could shut down the MIC, but the truth is that state-of-the-art weapons are not free.
World’s state sponsor of terror on Earth that has been commiting acts of war against USA for 47 years…fool!
The House of Saud, protector of Mecca does not want Iranian shia ruling the region...that’s the cultural reality.
This article is one page of the distracting sheet music covering what will really take out the threat. Though it is too late for 33K plus murdered tortured secular Iranians erased by hired mercenary thugs acting like they were IRGC.
Covering/masking actions from the real actors in all this— ChiComs and Russians (who are realizing how Chicoms are not their ally). Our payback should be, and has been fairly teased out. Why Venezueala was first.
If we would spend the money on cleaning up those issues that we are going to spend on Iran, we would have a lot nicer and safer country.
President Trump: Don't be hoodwinked!
This conflict with Iran is NOT about Israel. It’s about the Petrodollar. Iran has been selling oil in currencies outside the USD. It’s why we went after Russia and Venezuela…
“We are ending the era of endless wars. It is not the job of American forces “to solve ancient conflicts in faraway lands that many people have not even heard of.” Donald J. Trump — June 12, 2020.
“Military Industrial Complex”
Data point: The money we pay in interest on the debt now exceeds the budget for the military.
““We are ending the era of endless wars. ...”
Islam has been at war with the west since about the year 800. Good luck.
Problem I see is we (including me) assume the type war.
When we assume, do take into account Iran's drone capabilities?
This needs to be done. It will be a boon to the entire world when this bloody, disruptive Islamic dictatorship is vanquished. It will be a great deal for us politically, financially and militarily. The world’s primary sponsor of terrorism will be finally extinguished. The mideast, for one, will be a much calmer region, resulting in cheaper oil and less military expenditure. Get it done!
The Powell Doctrine would seem to be relevant.
Yes. Their drones are of poor quality. They won’t be a problem, even if they had a billion of them which they don’t.
Unless Allah intervenes directly, they are primed to be gone.
