Oh, so you think they're kidding. 

I do not believe there are significant "...conflicting opinions within the Trump Administration was to whether Iran was actually developing nuclear weapons capability,"

 

"On May 31, 2025, IAEA reported that Iran had sharply increased its stockpile of uranium enriched to 60% purity, just below weapons-grade, reaching over 408 kilograms, a nearly 50% rise since February. The agency warned that this amount is enough for multiple nuclear weapons if further enriched."

 

"In June 2025, the NCRI said Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons through a new program called the "Kavir Plan". According to the NCRI, the new project involves six sites in Semnan province working on warheads and related technology, succeeding the previous AMAD Project"

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_program_of_Iran#:~:text=On May 31%2C 2025%2C IAEA,nuclear weapons if further enriched.

 

First of all let's not forget the world wouldn't be facing the current scenario if Trump had not unilaterally withdrawn from the P5+1 Agreement.

 

What do you suppose the purpose of Iran's nuclear program is?  I would assume as a defensive measure, negotiating tool, or maybe energy / R&D.

 

Iran cannot currently reach US with ICBM. In any case it's currently estimated it would take Iran 2/5 years to develop a suitable guidance system. IMO the  only real danger is if Iran puts in place a real zealot believer in  The End of Times; same could equally apply if Christiaan zealot came to power in the US.

 

I would be very wary of any claims by NCRI , they remind me of the Iraqi group who fooled the US into attacking Iraq.

I promise to read those after you apologize for posting that amnesty international garbage propaganda

To all those that were saying bunker busters were not confirmed as being used well there you go. Confirmed. 14 of them. Also being said by Hegsath the US acted in self defence to protect the US, US personnel and interests and Israel which is exactly what I have previously posted and got the old thumbs down from a couple of morons. They were surgical strikes and do not constitute going to war. I'll accept apologies from anyone who has the balls to say they were WRONG.

Waaa off topic but I feel compelled to respond….I believe you are mistaken you are ignoring the fact of Germany fighting a 2 front war. the brave resilient Russian people killed 80% of germanys soldiers ran them out of more territory than the rest of the allied forces.all stop 🛑 and yes all the allied forces contributed but keep in mind if Germany had been able to focus on defense without the Russian invasion and consequences it may have been different.I hope this war is over quickly with a successful conclusion.

So her testimony in march to Congress saying she believed iran was not developing nuclear weapons doesn't count?

yawn, head to the previous topic where that was discussed over and over with her transcript and latest statements about the fake news media

 

yawn, so why did Donald Trump need to tell the press LAST FRIDAY that she was wrong LAST MARCH?

 

Insert fake news media here: In March, Gabbard testified in front of Congress that the intelligence community [IC] “continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon, and Supreme Leader [Ali] Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003. The IC continues to monitor, closely, if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program."

The dishonest media is intentionally taking my testimony out of context and spreading fake news as a way to manufacture division. America has intelligence that Iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months, if they decide to finalize the assembly. President Trump has been clear that can’t happen, and I agree.

A disturbingly large number of Americans smugly repeat this insulting trope, diminishing French heroism and exaggerating their own singular role in liberation. I guess you are just another one. You can be forgiven if you think it's new, I guess ignorance can be a blessing.

 

But yes, that's EXACTLY how Leavitt shot her credibility in the foot when she smilingly trotted that old canard out at a White House press briefing like she had stumbled across something so new and gob smackingly shockingly unknown that it would silence the floor.

 

When you roll your eyes, it doesn't make a sound.

This is excellent news. Ten years ago our collective jaws dropped when Saint Barack signed that appalling deal with Iran, now Trump has made it clear - no deals with this devil. 

 

You'd need to have been touched in the head to not recognize how extraordinarily dangerous it would have been to the world if these nutters had managed to create a nuke. Utterly absurd that they were allowed to even get close to doing so. Absurd.

Trump Confirms Surprise US Airstrikes on Iran’s Nuclear Sites, Including Fordo

 

Not in the Pentagon brief.  The whole world including OSINT, watched six B-2 bombers take off from Missouri and lumber across the Pacific, past Hawaii, past Guam towards a rumored attack on Iran. Bombs so heavy they had to refuel right after takeoff. All fake.

I haven't read all 14 pages, but did the Pentagon ever release the flight details, like which countries the B2s flew over? Or did it take 36 hours because they didn't overfly any other countries before attacking?

President Trump could potentially be impeached for bombing Iran without congressional approval, as it may violate the U.S. Constitution, which grants Congress the sole power to declare war (Article I, Section 8). The War Powers Resolution of 1973 further requires presidential notification to Congress within 48 hours of military action and limits such actions to 60-90 days without congressional authorization.

I think Trump didn't declare war. Neither did Bush. 

It was a special security operation, as Putin would say.

I haven't seen a 14 page report. The eastward attack force flight path is shown on the poster in the link. The diversionary flight over the pacific would take ~36 hours because they circumvented the globe. There not many countries to fly over in the pacific.

Pentagon briefing just said Jordan Israel and Iraq fly overs. Not clear when/if all were notified in advance (or at all).

And according to some experts, Trump has made thing only worse with his bombing.

Indeed, there’s just a slim possibility that the US entering the war will convince Iran to increase IAEA cooperation, said Darya Dolzikova, a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, a London-based think tank.

“The more likely scenario is that they convince Iran that cooperation and transparency don’t work and that building deeper facilities and ones not declared openly is more sensible to avoid similar targeting in future,” she said.

IAEA inspectors haven’t been able to verify the location of the Persian Gulf country’s stockpile of near-bomb-grade uranium for more than a week. Iranian officials acknowledged breaking IAEA seals and moving it to an undisclosed location.
