Reuters Exclusive: US moving fighter jets to Middle East as Israel-Iran war rages

[BLMFem]

Seems like Trump is dragging the US into this war. It will be interesting to see how this affects him politically. There are loud MAGA voices against a possible escalation already.

 

US moving fighter jets to Middle East as Israel-Iran war rages

 

 

"The U.S. military is deploying more fighter aircraft to the Middle East and extending the deployment of other warplanes, bolstering U.S. military forces in the region as the war between Israel and Iran rages, three U.S. officials said.
One of the officials said the deployments include F-16, F-22 and F-35 fighter aircraft."

Trouble in paradise.

 

Fox News takes pro-war position as MAGA media feuds over Israel-Iran conflict

 

"The Israel-Iran conflict has exacerbated a deep rift in MAGA media over how the US conducts itself abroad, especially when it comes to Israel. Republican hawks are clashing with MAGA isolationists, and many of the arguments are happening on social media sites like X, as well as podcasts like Steve Bannon’s “War Room.” 

But Trump’s favorite network, Fox News, isn’t making as much room for debate. Guest after guest on Fox has played to Trump’s ego — simultaneously praising the president and pushing for US intervention through his television screen."

No agreement of any war from here, though how about never a weaponized nuclear state of Iran. Imagine what that region would look like if Iran implemented a nuclear strike. Hindsight 20/20 would state “only if it were extinguished before it got to this point”

Trump is so obvious! 

 

He'll wait for the Israeli to do the job.

 

If it succeeds, he will claim credit for it.

 

If it fails or creates too much chaos  he will just say that he wasn't consulted about it, and that it's Israel's sole responsibility!

It will be a tough one for the anti Trumpets, the media & democrats will be torn, they want war because they have shares in Raytheon etc and are paid by lobbyists for the MIC, but also will want to be against the war and use it to attack Trump.... what will they do.

So what do you want?

A war just so you can make a thread about Trump? Sad sad troll, get over to ukraine, see how you like war up close and personal.

I doubt Trump will start this with Iran but if Iran does hit something American first. then we'll be looking out for another TACO moment.

Trump weighs joining Israel on strikes of Iranian nuclear sites

June 18, 2025

 

"President Trump is considering joining Israel's multiday effort to strike Iranian nuclear facilities, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

 

One possible target is Fordo, a subterranean uranium enrichment site that's believed to be key to Iran's nuclear program, according to the sources, which include a senior intelligence official and a Department of Defense official.

 

 

Fordo is buried almost 300 feet beneath a mountain and protected by significant air defenses and is believed to be the most likely location for a hypothetical nuclear weapons "breakout" program. Nuclear non-proliferation experts say that it's at Fordo where Iran has aimed to enrich uranium for weapons purposes and expand its stockpile of enriched uranium. " There is not full agreement among Mr. Trump's closest advisers on how to proceed.

Damning IAEA report spells out past secret nuclear activities in Iran

May 31 (Reuters) - Iran carried out secret nuclear activities with material not declared to the U.N. nuclear watchdog at three locations that have long been under investigation, the watchdog said in a wide-ranging, confidential report to member states seen by Reuters.
The findings in the "comprehensive" International Atomic Energy Agency report requested by the agency's 35-nation Board of Governors in November pave the way for a push by the United States, Britain, France and Germany for the board to declare Iran in violation of its non-proliferation obligations.

UN report says uranium particles enriched up to 83.7 percent found in Iran

 Inspectors from the United Nations nuclear watchdog found uranium particles enriched up to 83.7 percent in Iran’s underground Fordo nuclear site, a report seen Tuesday by The Associated Press said.

The confidential quarterly report by the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency distributed to member states likely will renew tensions between Iran and the West over its program.

The global nuclear watchdog's board of governors has formally declared Iran in breach of its non-proliferation obligations for the first time in 20 years.

The USA are the only state ever to use that weapon. Countries who didn't have one, got invade by them.
