The U.S. launched “Operation Midnight Hammer” when attacking Iran's nuclear sites; a name that sounds more like satire than strategy. Beneath the absurd branding, it’s war. Real lives at risk.

I’m pretty sure that was also the name of the operation at the Pelosi house a few years back.

The 12 Day War has ended. Donald Trump was right about everything! ☺️

Stop misusing the term war unless you understand how to stop nuclear war and proxy wars. 😉 If you like, I can explain this to you in depth so you can avoid these superficial virtue signals.

Trump is still bragging about 'Operation Midnight Hammer,' claiming the US destroyed Iran's nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. So, why then is the WSJ reporting that Witkoff and Kushner are begging Iran to destroy those same three sites, as part of a nuclear deal?

Marjorie Taylor Greene said that we were entering "World War III" and a "Nuclear War" after the US bombed Iran's nuclear facilities in Operation Midnight Hammer. She predicted "Flag-draped coffins." She never admitted she was wrong. No one did.

Q: "On Iran, you mentioned Operation Midnight Hammer…One of the things that the president said after that was that Iran's nuclear sites were completely obliterated. We heard from Steve Witkoff just a few days ago also saying that Iran was just a week away from getting access to raw nuclear material. How can you square those two statements?" Leavitt: "Operation Midnight Hammer was an overwhelmingly successful mission that did in fact obliterate Iran's nuclear facilities…That does not mean that Iran may never try again to establish a nuclear program."

Some government spending is so absurd that it sounds like satire. Unfortunately, it’s all too real. When there is no accountability, waste becomes the norm. The American taxpayers deserve better.

President Trump told Fox News that U.S. inspectors will join the IAEA in inspecting Iranian nuclear sites. The President said there is no rush in getting to the material since it's buried underground in the aftermath of Operation Midnight Hammer. "They've agreed to it, they've agreed to the inspectors," the President said. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, during a press conference earlier today, echoed the U.S. position that inspections will take place . "This is going to happen," Grossi said.

🇺🇸❌Full-scale war between the U.S. and Iran: According to recent reports, the U.S. military is getting ready for extended operations over the course of weeks against Iran if President Donald Trump decides to launch an attack. This planning marks a significant escalation from previous strategies, moving toward a "far more serious conflict" than seen in past years. Unlike the June 2025 "Midnight Hammer" operation, which was a limited strike on Iranian nuclear sites, current plans include hitting state and security facilities in addition to nuclear infrastructure. The Pentagon has also recently deployed the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier to join the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Middle East, doubling the available aircraft and munitions in the region. I believe a full-scale war will break out between the U.S. and Iran in the coming weeks.

JUST NOW: Pete Buttigieg lives rent-free in Trump’s head. Is it more absurd that sleepy Don can't hold a meeting in the Oval Office without childishly insulting others, or that everyone, including a U.S. Senator, feels forced to laugh at his jokes like it’s North Korea?

Iran spent decades and billions building nuclear sites so advanced they could survive almost any attack. The US hit them so hard that now Iran is asking America to come clean up the rubble. "They said, you'll have to take it out, because we don't have the capability of doing it." Read that again. The country that built the facilities cannot retrieve what's left of them. The sites weren't just destroyed — they were buried so deep that only 2 countries on Earth have the equipment to reach the material. The US is one of them. Operation Midnight Hammer didn't just end Iran's nuclear program. It turned Iran's most protected assets into a cleanup job that Iran has to beg its enemy to finish. That's not a military victory. That's a complete reversal of every assumption Iran built its deterrence strategy on. follow for more of whatever the hell this is becoming..
