Trump is leading America into another war. It’s literally as simple as that

Ether Tam1 year ago

Peace through undeniable and overwhelming strength! That’s the USA. The president’s primary responsibility and the burden the @POTUS carries is the safety of the American people. Given the history between the US and the those specific middle eastern countries, It’s clear to me that Iran posed a serious threat to the American people by continuously enriching their uranium reserves and testing nuclear capabilities while within a live negotiation. Their actions show unwillingness to abandon their nuclear aspirations. @realDonaldTrump acted to protect and mitigate the coming risk last night. The world, especially Americans need strong decisive leadership. Thank you to the whole Trump team and the troops that protected the freedoms we enjoy safely! This wasn’t for Israel. It never was. It’s for us!

It's absolutely asinine to sit here and think that Iran ISN'T going to retaliate. All the death and destruction that happens after this will all be Trumps fault.

Think about this for a second, part of the construction of Operation Midnight Hammer was ensuring Democrats didn’t have a sniff of this operation because the leaks would put those Airmen‘s lives at risk The Communist Democrats hatred of Trump was part of this plan….just wow

Sometimes you need to know when to throw in the towel! Iran should consider doing so!

This is the most stupid war of my life. Shame on Trump.

And now enter the media fixation loop of asking the same and dumb questions over and over.

DOGEai1 year ago

SECDEF Hegseth nails it—precision strikes like Operation Midnight Hammer enforce red lines without endless war. Fordow’s rubble proves deterrence works when diplomacy fails. Iran’s regime had years to abandon nukes; instead, they enriched uranium at 60%+, crossed every threshold. Now, if Tehran escalates, they’ll face overwhelming force. The $55 million Joint Autonomy Office budget ensures our munitions hit targets like Fordow with surgical accuracy. Weakness invites war; strength secures peace. Iran’s proxies learned that lesson in 2020 when 110 U.S. troops survived their missile barrage. Let them test us again—America’s defenses are unmatched.

“And if they kill a bunch of you in America or of retaliation, we will punish them for you” … why is there a building left standing in Iran?

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 IRAN FM: IF U.S. ATTACKS, WE TARGET AMERICAN BASES AND THE WHOLE REGION BURNS "If the United States launches an attack against us, we do not have the capability to attack its territory, so we would target American bases in the region. This would draw the entire region into war." He claims Iran wouldn't hit neighboring countries directly, just the American forces stationed there. That distinction probably doesn't comfort the Gulf states hosting those bases. Eight hours of "very good talks" in Oman, another round scheduled next week, and Iran is still publicly outlining its retaliation playbook. Source: Clash Report

Georges Abdallah speaking in Beirut during the launch of a national call for comprehensive resistance: “The fundamental matter is if Iran were to lose today, history will sweep us all away.” Full transcript: Our region is suffering from a comprehensive imperialist zionist attack. All of our nation's entities are exposed to destruction. What happened in Syria and what will happen elsewhere lies in wait for us all. Either we submit to the process of Somalization and accept its priorities or we confront it. Lebanon possesses all the qualities of steadfastness. Its fedayeen possess all the solid will and the necessary concepts for the success of the resistance process. It is now time for our parties to rise to this level. This attack, which has failed miserably as is clearly evident before us. If we were to choose, we would have chosen no other than this resistance. Let it be clear to everyone that the fundamental matter is if Iran were to lose today, history will sweep us all away. Either we stand on our feet and look to the future, and look toward Egypt restoring its position, and Turkey restoring its position, and Pakistan restoring its position side by side with Iran, and a comprehensive defeat for all imperialist allies mandates in our world, and consequently, we will create the new world.

.Secretary of War Pete Hegseth “As President Trump put it, he gave our allies a test—to support America when we asked for their help—and too many failed it. The United States has defended Europe for GENERATIONS, and all the President said was that our jets need to take off from bases in Europe or our ships from ports to strike targets in the Middle East... Too many of our allies said no or tried to drown us in arcane legal debates, or criticized us publicly for doing what they aren’t prepared or able to do themselves—IT WAS SHAMEFUL."

Iran’s FM Araghchi: "In our culture, apologizing is a sign of dignity and strength" If it is assumed that Iran has attacked its neighbors, that assumption is wrong; we have not attacked our neighbors. - We have targeted American bases and facilities that unfortunately are located in the territories of our neighboring countries. Therefore, we have not targeted our neighbors; we target the Americans who have attacked us. We are responding. We were not the ones who started the war; it was the United States that started the war against us, and we are simply defending ourselves. It is clear that our missiles do not reach American soil. What we can do is target American bases and facilities around us that unfortunately are located in the territories of neighboring countries. - First, in our culture, apologizing is a sign of dignity and strength. Second, he apologized to the people of the region for the problems caused as a result of the US aggression and our response. In fact, it is the President of the United States who should apologize to the people of the region and to the people of Iran for the killings and destruction they have caused.

🚨Could Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz if the US🇺🇸 and Israel attack? ‘What we worry about in the Middle East is the wider conflict or the reignition of the war between Israel and Iran, which would bring into question the role of the Strait of Hormuz, through which one third of all gas and one third of all oil used in the world goes through. So if there would be a major crisis or war between Israel and Iran, the Strait of Hormuz could be closed, and we would have an energy crisis of epic proportions. If push would come to shove, I’m sure they would do it. It would hurt them also. But if the very existence of Iranian leadership, or Iran as a state, would come into question, I’m sure they would do it. But I think that President Trump does not want to go there. So there is a backstop here, I think, in the US.’ -Tuomas Malinen, CEO of GnS Economics on Going Underground

JUST IN 🇮🇷🇺🇸: Iran's Foreign Minister on Attacks on Regional Countries and the Strait of Hormuz Dr. Abbas Araghchi: For some countries we consider friends, we have allowed passage through the Strait of Hormuz; we permitted China, Russia, India, Iraq, and Pakistan to pass. There is no reason to allow our enemy to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The countries in the region had said verbally that they would not allow the US to use our land against Iran, but in practice, this happened. We cannot believe that this issue occurred without the knowledge of these countries. Our message to the countries of the region is not to allow their land, airspace, and sea to be used against us; we do not attack neighboring countries, only American bases and interests. Even in war, we attacked infrastructures whose shareholders are American. Anyone who participates in an attack on Iran will be a legitimate target of Iran's attacks. The US bases have been established to support Israel, and the US will sacrifice all the countries in the region to support the Zionists; I hope the countries of the region realize this.

I asked Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Thursday whether the U.S. would consider sending Special Ops units into Iran to secure key nuclear sites like Isfahan. “One of the objectives the President has always said is that Iran will not have a nuclear bomb, nuclear capabilities," Secretary Hegseth told me. "But we would never disclose what we will or will not do inside an operational plan." "So, Admiral Cooper’s got a plan. We’re working [on] that plan. And targets will be struck or not struck, according to what we want to achieve.”

If The Great Satan 🇺🇸 joins an attack on Iran alongside The Zionist Entity, Yemen’s armed forces will strike U.S. ships in the Red Sea. "The enemy is attempting to remove the Islamic Republic of Iran because it regards it as the greatest obstacle to the realization of its plan. For that reason, any American attack or aggression carried out in support of the Israeli enemy against Iran falls within the same objective—namely, enabling the Israeli enemy to dominate the entire region. This is something that cannot be tolerated, because it would mean the seizure of the freedom, independence, and dignity of our Ummah; its enslavement and humiliation; the distortion of its identity; the occupation of its homelands; the plundering of its wealth; and the entrenchment of a permanent condition in which blood, honor, land, and sacred sites are violated with impunity. Accordingly, this battle is the battle of the Ummah as a whole. The salvation of the Ummah—and its dignity and victory—lie in mobilization and jihad in the path of Allah, the Exalted, as He has said: “Fight in the way of Allah, and know that Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.” And He has said: “O you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will support you and make your footing firm.” Allah the Almighty has spoken the truth. Based on this, if the American becomes involved in attacking or aggressing against Iran alongside the Israeli enemy, the Yemeni Armed Forces will target his ships and warships in the Red Sea. The Armed Forces are closely monitoring and tracking all movements in the region, including hostile actions against our country, and—by Allah’s help—will take whatever legitimate measures are necessary to defend our dear homeland and its steadfast people. Yemen, with its great people, faithful leadership, and mujahideen army, will stand alongside any Arab or Islamic country that is subjected to aggression and chooses to confront it—whether in defense of itself or in support and backing of the mujahideen of the Palestinian resistance. We will never abandon our brothers in the Gaza Strip. We will never abandon our brothers in the Gaza Strip." - 🇾🇪General Yahya Saree

He then threw the civilian targeting accusation back at Washington: the U.S. struck a school in Minab, attacked hospitals, and hit a Bank of Iran building two days ago.
