For 30 years, Democrats and some Republicans lied about stopping Iran. Trump did it.. “Iran’s appetite for acquiring and developing nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them has only grown larger,” Bill Clinton claimed in 1995. “We have tried to stop its quest to acquire weapons of mass destruction, which would make it a threat not only to its neighbors but to the entire region and the world.” “For the sake of peace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon,” George W. Bush declared. “America is determined to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon,...

President Donald Trump thanked Iran for giving the United States advance notice of the coming missile strike on a U.S. base in Qatar. The notice, he wrote on social media, “made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured.”

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran said its missile attack on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar matched the number of bombs dropped by the United States on Iranian nuclear sites this weekend, signaling Iran’s likely desire to deescalate. Iran made the announcement Monday night in a statement from its Supreme National Security Council after the attack, which Qatar said caused no injuries. Iran also said it targeted the base because it was outside of populated areas. DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran launched missile attacks Monday on a U.S. military bases in Qatar and Iraq, retaliating for...

AGAIN - IRAN JUST FIRED ON AMERICAN TARGETS IN QATAR AND IRAQ’! Stupid is as stupid does - Forrest Gump

ran launched a missile attack Monday on a U.S. military base in Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites. The announcement was made on state television as martial music played. A caption on screen called it “a mighty and successful response by the armed forces of Iran to America’s aggression.” The attack came shortly after Qatar closed its airspace as a precaution amid threats from Iran.

Iran’s parliament voted to approve the closure of the Strait of Hormuz in response to last night’s attacks on the country’s nuclear facilities by U.S. forces.The Strait is used as a route for roughly 20% of the world’s oil shipping, which is expected to impact oil prices if the move is approved by Iran’s Supreme Council.India, which reportedly imports about 80% of its oil through the Stair of Hormuz, is expected to be hit hard.President Trump addressed the nation last night, hours after the attack, which he called a “spectacular military success.” He further threatened Iran that “there are many...

Following U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday, the Iranian Parliament has voted in support of closing the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical oil transit chokepoints, according to media reports. Any final decision on retaliation, however, will rest with the country's Supreme National Security Council and leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The parliament vote merely advises him of the option to pursue. Newsweek has reached out to the White House by email on Sunday morning for comment. Why It Matters The U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites—dubbed "Operation Midnight Hammer"—in Isfahan, Fordow and Natanz marks...

Iranian parliament has approved the closure of the Strait of Hormuz in a move which could see the world thrown into disaster. The decision to close the Strait, through which around 20 per cent of global oil and gas demand flows, is not yet final. Iran's Supreme National Security Council must still make the final call on the matter, Iran's Press TV said today. But lawmaker and Revolutionary Guards Commander Esmail Kosari told the Young Journalist Club that doing so is on the agenda and 'will be done whenever necessary'. Last weekend, Kowsari told local media that closing the Strait...

The Biden administration and the Saudis are reportedly cooking up a deal.Under the terms of the agreement, the Saudis will get nuclear capability, defense guarantees and a terrorist state inside Israel. And what will the United States get? Temporarily lower prices.The Saudis are not offering to boost oil production to bring down prices as a favor to America, but to Biden. And it’s an election quid-pro-quo that may cost millions of Americans their lives.After draining the strategic petroleum reserve ahead of the midterms, Biden has been unable to refill it because his environmentalist allies and the Saudis have kept prices...

Mohammad Saeed Izadi, the commander of the Palestine Corps within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force and the key coordinator between Iran and Hamas, was killed on Saturday, both the military and Defense Minister Israel Katz announced. Izadi, according to reports, helped finance and arm Hamas in the lead-up to the October 7 massacre. He was reportedly behind the "plan to destroy Israel" by coordinating assaults on Israel from multiple fronts. Izadi was killed in an apartment in the city of Qom, south of Tehran, by an attack by Israel Air Force fighter jets following an intelligence-gathering effort, the...

Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer In 2012, @TuckerCarlson said, “I do think, I'm sure I'm the lone voice in saying this, that Iran deserves to be annihilated. I think they're lunatics. I think they're evil.” When you go to Qatar, it poisons your brain. 9:48 PM · Jun 18, 2025

1. Saudi Arabia seeks regime change in Iran. 2. US/Israel, EU, Arab neighbors seek (not always admmitedly in public) disarmed nuclear-Iran, especially Israel which has been threatened with annihilation by Islamic fascist Republic. 3. Phony-anti-war pro-war Tucker Carlson prefers nuclear Iran, emboldening head of terror snake. 4. All of the above does not mean there is a need (now) for '[boots] on the ground,' in today's drone age. 5. The vast contrast of Islamic Republic (just like Arab "Palestinian" regimes) targeting civilians VS Israeli warning for civilians to evacuate while operating against hostile targets, is as clear as ever. 6....

@Antunes1 Ted Cruz tries to use the Bible to justify his support for Israel’s bombing of Iran. Tucker Carlson destroys him 💀 REPLIES: @GabeGwoolley Christians are “Israel”. The Bible is not referring to a government or physical nation. Romans 9:6–8 “Not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children… it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise…” Just so we’re clear. @GabeGwoolley So Who Are the “Children of Promise”? According to Paul: •They are spiritual children of...

Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer Here’s the screenshot from the FARA documents filled out this year that prove Qatar paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for an interview between TuckerCarlson and the Prime Minister of Qatar (the same Qatar which funds HAMAS) regarding the “war with Iran”. This was a paid propaganda piece in which over $200,000 was paid by the Embassy of the State of Qatar for Tucker to interview a Qatari official all while knowing HAMAS is an Iranian proxy and funded by Qatar. Qatar funds Islamic terror all around the world and they think they can just pay everyone...

*** Rival factions of the MAGA movement are now openly feuding in an increasingly nasty civil war, and questioning whether the president will make what they regard as the right move in the Middle East. Trump himself stunningly split with one of his own close advisers on Tuesday, dismissing Congressional testimony from Director of National Security Tulsi Gabbard. In March, Gabbard stated that the intelligence community had assessed Iran was not building a nuclear weapon. 'The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon, and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that...

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that,” IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!”

President Trump on Monday took a swipe at former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who has in recent days been critical of Trump’s handling of the burgeoning conflict between Israel and Iran. “I don’t know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen,” Trump told reporters when asked about Carlson’s comments during a meeting with the British prime minister at the Group of Seven summit.

Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon warn that without a singular focus from the president to stop it right now, the U.S. will be dragged into war with Iran and repeat all the mistakes of the war on terror on an even larger scale. "I don't want my country to be further weakened and destroyed by another one of these wars," Tucker said. "And if you can't connect the dots after 25 years of this sh*t, you're either too dumb to participate in the conversation, or, like Mark Levin, you're just a liar who doesn't care." "This is a perfect way...
