So, the strikes were successful but some Americans are upset that it was…what, too successful? Nancy Pelosi & AOC said this was bad. Did they not hear the “supreme leader” call for the death of America? It’s almost like they want the U.S to fail.

If they attack the US mainland that means total war. We hit the regime with B52s and kill all the revolutionary guards. Depending on severity have nuclear forces on alert. Zero tolerance for another 9/11. Hit them 500 times harder.

Former Homeland Security official Samantha Vinograd says “the Iranian regime has demonstrated an incredible capacity to be flexible and adaptive” in the way they carry out attacks. “They played a long game here. They have invested in propaganda and tools in this country, as well as hiring people to do their dirty work for them, to such an extent that I am concerned that they have the intent and capability to, if not direct attacks here in the homeland, to inspire them,” she tells Margaret Brennan.

Trump: We Will Obliterate Iran Missile Industry, Annihilate their Navy, They Will Never Have a Nuclear Weapon Iran is the world's number one state sponsor of terror. It has always been the policy of the United States, and in particular, my administration, to ensure Iran does not have a nuclear weapon. They have rejected every effort to renounce their nuclear ambitions, and we can't take it anymore. They attempted to rebuild their long-range missiles, which can now threaten our friends and allies in Europe and soon reach our American homeland. For this reason, the United States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this wicked, radical dictatorship from threatening our core national security interests. Donald Trump, President of the United States

2026 will see the United States host several mass gatherings, including the World Cup and the nation’s 250th anniversary. CBS News national security contributor Sam Vinograd says, “there are structural issues that I fear make us more vulnerable to a successful attack.” “That includes the fact that the United States, probably for the first time in our history, is no longer viewed globally as the leader and poster child for rules-based international order,” Vinograd said. “Other actors feel like they don't have to follow the rules if we're not going to, that could introduce new threats.”

Chinese academic and foreign policy expert Victor Gao: “The war launched by Israel and the United States against Iran is a war of aggression and a war of injustice. Iran is being attacked, and I would say Iran has the full right to exercise self-defense. “Iran, in my view, has the full right to strike at any military bases, facilities, installations, or military personnel of the United States in other regions in that part of the world—including, for example, in Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain, and so on. “Otherwise, it would be completely odd for Iran to be attacked in such an aggressive manner by the United States and Israel, and yet be expected to sit like a sitting duck under such military attacks—attempts to overthrow its government, probably also to destroy its civilization—while being bound by the futility of not striking at the military facilities and installations in its neighborhood, which most likely have been used one way or another in launching this ongoing attack against Iran.”

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has authorized a FULL military response if Iran attacks again. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spoke with President Trump, who offered full support for their response. CNN: “I want to go back to that breaking news just in to CNN about Saudi Arabia. It says that it is prepared to respond if Iran continues its retaliatory attack.” “CNN international diplomatic editor Nic Robertson joins us now. What have you learned Nic?” NIC ROBERTSON: “Yeah, this is a really new and big step by the crown prince here to authorize the possibility of Saudi response if Iran attacks Saudi Arabia again.” “He called their attacks yesterday, and in the early hours of today, cowardly, he said that these attacks by Iran were cowardly because Iran knew that Saudi airspace was not being used to attack Iran. And this has incensed him.” “There have been attacks around the capital here that have been intercepted. There was an attack near a military airfield in the north of the country. There have been attacks further east much closer to the Persian Gulf, much closer to Iran.” “They’ve been repelled so far. But the crown prince has said that because of Iran’s actions, he is putting the country, Saudi Arabia’s security first. The safety of its territory, the safety of its citizens, the safety of its residents, he’s putting those things first.” “And for that reason, he says, he is authorizing the right and the military here to respond if they are attacked by Iran.” “And also, we heard from the foreign ministry here on their Twitter feed last night that the crown prince had a telephone conversation with President Trump.” “And in that conversation, the crown prince had full support from President Trump…for how they should respond.”

I love how CBS has very rarely brought up the fact that their "CBS News national security contributor" Samantha Vinograd is both an Obama and Biden official. In other words, a deep-blue partisan. Instead, she's held up as objective, non-partisan security expert to bash anything and everything Donald Trump does.

Murphy: But if you accept even part of the Iranian statement, Donald Trump has agreed to give Iran control of the strait of hormuz. That is extraordinary. If you go deeper into the statement from the Iranian national security council, they claim that trump has also agreed to Iran's right to enrichment, to suspend all sanctions against Iran and to allow Iran to keep their missile program, their drone program and their nuclear program.

🚨🇮🇱 EXCLUSIVE ON THE GROUND COVERAGE: "IRAN IS THE SOURCE OF GLOBAL MISERY" Erin Molan: "For those who may not understand fully what is going on here, or may think to themselves, well, of course, Iran is going to retaliate, because Israel hit them first; Iran, the Islamic regime who runs it - they are evil, and they are responsible for so much of the torture, pain, death, and destruction that occurs in so many places around the world. What Israel did over the past 24 hours is to very specifically target their nuclear facilities, their ability to enrich uranium, military infrastructure and leaders - leaders who make the call to kill innocent people. What Israel is doing is trying to take out the head of this snake that causes so much misery around the world. On behalf of us all, by the way, not just on behalf of their country, they have a duty to take out regimes that want to destroy and eliminate and eradicate their people, of course, but this is on behalf of all of us."

BREAKING: President Trump officially announces that the United States is at war with Iran and calls for regime change. "A short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran. Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people." "They've rejected every opportunity to renounce their nuclear ambitions. And we can't take it anymore. Instead, they attempted to rebuild their nuclear program and to continue developing long-range missiles that can now threaten our very good friends and allies in Europe." "For these reasons, the United States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this very wicked radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests. We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally again obliterated. We are going to annihilate their navy. We are going to ensure that the region's terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region or the world and attack our forces and no longer use their IEDs or roadside bombs, as they are sometimes called, to so gravely wound and kill thousands and thousands of people, including many Americans."

#WATCH | Tehran, Iran: On US-Israel joint attack on Iran, Foad Izadi, Associate Professor at the University of Tehran, says, "We have lost over 2,000 civilians, including 165 little girls, when their school was hit by American Tomahawk missiles on the first day of the illegal attacks. A diplomatic solution was available... This was an unnecessary war. Iran was not a threat to the United States. You don't have to take an Iranian professor's analysis; you can just read Joe Kent's resignation letter... He was very high-ranking Trump administration official who is saying that this is due to Israeli pressure... Israel, in order to dominate this part of the world, has been successful in using American soldiers to fight a war with Iran... it's causing a lot of difficulties for Iran, and for people in India... They're on a rampage, engaging in an illegal war, trying to take over Iranian oil. They did this once in 1953 through a coup; they want to do it again this year." On Iran's retaliatory attacks on US military bases in Gulf countries, he says, "Initially, Iran just hit US military bases, which are legitimate military targets. The US is using these bases to attack Iran... Iran avoided hitting oil facilities until the other side started hitting Iranian oil facilities... Oil refineries are not normally legitimate military targets, but when they hit our side, then Iran has no other option but to do the same to the other side."

🚨 BREAKING: Karoline Leavitt confirms the conflict in Iran will end as soon as President Trump believes Iran no longer poses a threat to America and American assets in the region "What President Trump means when he says 'unconditional surrender' is when he, as commander in chief of the United States military and the leader of the free world, determines that Iran can no longer pose a threat to the United States of America and to our troops and our personnel in the Middle East." "That is, again, the ultimate goal of Operation Epic Fury, to annihilate their navy, to take out their ballistic missile threat, which we have largely done in the course of just 6 days." "And then, of course, to ensure they can never obtain a nuclear weapon, to significantly weaken their proxies in the region that have killed and maimed hundreds of Americans throughout the years." "We've seen the Houthis and Hezbollah have hardly put up a fight over the past six days." "So we're already well on our way to achieving the objectives of Operation Epic Fury." "And when the president determines that Iran no longer poses that threat, that's when that unconditional surrender will take place." "As for the next leader of Iran, the president has said, of course, it's in the best interest of the United States to have a leader that is no longer chanting death to America, that is no longer conspiring behind our backs and lying to the American people and to our government about proliferating a nuclear weapon!"

The Trump administration's "rapid elimination approach" to the federal workforce is concerning because it "creates a wildly uneven playing field with our adversaries," says CBS News homeland security contributor Sam Vinograd. "The KGB is not shedding agents, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not losing diplomats," Vinograd adds. "Coming back from the talent cuts that we're seeing could have a generational impact."

In an interview with #AlMayadeen, Mohammad Marandi, Professor of English Literature and Orientalism at the University of #Tehran, emphasized that #Iran has never suspended indirect negotiations with the United States and has continued message exchanges as it did under the previous Biden and Trump administrations. Reiterating Iranian officials' statements, he clarified that Iran remains open to diplomacy but not at the cost of its rights. “Iran will not relinquish its rights to a peaceful nuclear program and Iran will not give up its defense capabilities or its allies. That is off the table. That is not up for negotiations,” Marandi affirmed. He further warned that any military confrontation with Iran would be disastrous for the global economy, especially given Iran’s vast network of underground missile and drone bases near key #US military installations in the Gulf. Such a war "would be catastrophic for the oil and gas market in the world," leading to economic collapse worldwide, including the US, he explained. Marandi criticized the Zionist lobby's push for escalation and urged Washington to act more responsibly, recognizing the shifting balance of power. “This is not the United States of the 1990s. Iran is much stronger... The United States has to learn its place in the world," Marandi stated. Elsewhere in the interview, he affirmed that "Iran has no intention of having a nuclear weapon, but if #Trump attacks, Iran will have a nuclear weapon." Seyed Mohammad Marandi
