Israel launched a defensive and preemptive strike against Iran’s nuclear operations. Here’s what we know so far. Israel targeted Iran’s nuclear sites, their ballistic missile programs, nuclear infrastructure, engineers, and nuclear scientists, and its top military commanders, including the Chief of Staff and the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, a US designated terrorist organization that arms and funds groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. These attacks unfolded in over five waves and at over 100 quality targets in operations that included aircrafts and additional on the ground intelligence activity. This is not a war between Israel and the Iranian people. This is a fight to stop a terrorist regime from acquiring the most dangerous weapon on earth. According to the IAEA, the UN nuclear watchdog, Iran is now capable of producing up to 15 nuclear bombs. In the last few months and while pretending to negotiate a deal with the US in good faith, Iran has accelerated its nuclear enrichment and weapons program. Iran is the head of the Middle Eastern snake. Their fingerprints can be found in every single bloody conflict in the region. Iran is the greatest sponsor of terrorism in the world and their regime oppresses their own people with their Islamist ideology. Israel cannot allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. The Middle East cannot allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Because a nuclear Iran doesn’t just threaten Israel, it threatens the entire world.

Here's the debate I hosted between Ben Shapiro and Destiny (Destiny | Steven Bonnell II), two of the most skilled political debaters in the world. They each arguably represent the right & left of American politics, respectively. The topics include Trump vs Biden, Jan 6, Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, wokeism & DEI, marriage/relationships, and more. This was intense, fascinating, and fun. It's here on X in full and is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else too. Links in comment.

🚨🚨🚨 IRAN'S FOREIGN MINISTER JUST SAID THE MOST TERRIFYING 15 WORDS OF THIS ENTIRE WAR. READ EVERY SINGLE ONE. 🚨🚨🚨 "They struck our nuclear facilities, but they could not destroy Iran's nuclear program." That's Iran's FM Abbas Araghchi — CONFIRMING the strikes hit nuclear sites. And telling the world it didn't work. Let that sink in. 💀 The US used its most powerful bunker-buster bombs on Natanz 💀 Iran is publicly CONFIRMING the nuclear sites were hit 💀 And in the SAME sentence saying the program SURVIVED 💀 Iran isn't denying, hiding, or deflecting — they're TAUNTING 💀 "You hit us with everything you had. We're STILL here." ⚠️ The US spent $2,000,000,000,000+ developing the most advanced bunker-buster arsenal on Earth — specifically for this moment. Iran says it wasn't enough. ⚠️ Israel destroyed Iraq's Osirak reactor in 1981 with ONE strike and ended Iraq's nuclear program forever. Iran just took the same hit and said "try again." The media is showing you "US strikes Iran's nuclear facilities" like it's mission accomplished. They're NOT showing you that Iran just told the ENTIRE world: our nuclear program is deeper, more dispersed, and more protected than your best weapons can reach. Here's what that means → and what comes NEXT: → Iran built Natanz underground. The US bombed it. Iran says it survived. → Iran built Fordow INSIDE A MOUNTAIN. If Natanz survived, Fordow is untouchable. → Iran has spent 20 years building redundancy — multiple sites, multiple depths, multiple locations → The US just used its BEST shot. If it didn't work, there is no Plan B short of a nuclear weapon. Now here's the part nobody is saying out loud: Iran's nuclear program just went from "peaceful enrichment" to "existential survival." Before today, Iran could negotiate. They had leverage. They could trade their program for sanctions relief. After today? Their nuclear facilities have been BOMBED. The diplomatic path is DEAD. If you're Iran and your "peaceful" nuclear sites were just attacked — what's the argument for NOT building a weapon anymore? The US didn't destroy Iran's nuclear program. They just gave Iran the justification to FINISH it. Every nuclear expert on Earth is thinking the same thing right now: the clock to an Iranian bomb just got shorter, not longer. What happens next: → Iran accelerates enrichment at sites the US CAN'T reach → Iran withdraws from the NPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty) → The IAEA loses ALL access to Iranian nuclear sites → Within 12-18 months, Iran has enough material for a weapon → And the world has ZERO visibility into what's happening underground The most dangerous sentence in geopolitics isn't a threat. It's "you hit us and we're still standing." Iran just said it. To the entire world. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨 They don't want you seeing this. Follow + RT to beat the algorithm. 🚨
