Maybe we want to prevent Iran to fire atomic missiles at "the west" in the near future. Remember: We are "infidels" that must be eradicated no matter what we do or not do.

Is that enough "reason" for you to stifle a regime that lives in the 8th century, equipped with intercontinental nuclear weapons ?

PS: Iran has an overabundance of oil reserves. Supplying their country with "home grown" energy for the next 500 years.

So, why do they need "nuclear power" in the first place ?

Top 5 Reasons Trump Is Bombing Iran:

here's a few more:

• Human Rights Abuses Against Citizens: Under Khamenei, the regime has systematically suppressed dissent, including arbitrary arrests, torture, enforced disappearances, and killings of protesters. For instance, Human Rights Watch documented widespread abuses during the 2022-2023 protests, including against children, with thousands detained and reports of rape and blinding of demonstrators. In the 2019 "Bloody November" protests, up to 1,500 people were killed by security forces. The regime has also denied basic freedoms to women and girls, enforcing strict hijab laws leading to deaths like that of Mahsa Amini in 2022, sparking nationwide uprisings brutally crushed.

• Executions and Judicial Abuses: Iran under Khamenei has one of the world's highest execution rates, often for political dissent, drug offenses, or apostasy, with Amnesty International reporting thousands executed since 1989, including public hangings and juvenile offenders. The judiciary, controlled by Khamenei, has been accused of sham trials and forced confessions obtained through torture.

• Persecution of Minorities and Dissidents: The regime has targeted religious minorities (e.g., Baha'is, Christians, Sunnis), ethnic groups (Kurds, Baluchis), and LGBTQ+ individuals with discrimination, imprisonment, and executions. Properties of dissidents and minorities have been systematically seized by entities like the Execution of Imam Khomeini's Order (EIKO), building a vast economic empire through confiscations.

• Support for International Terrorism: As the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, the regime under Khamenei funds, arms, and trains proxy groups like Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, Houthis in Yemen, and militias in Iraq and Syria, responsible for attacks on civilians, U.S. forces, and regional stability. This includes the 1994 AMIA bombing in Argentina (linked to Iranian agents) and ongoing rocket attacks on Israel.

• Regional Aggression and Proxy Wars: Khamenei has overseen Iran's involvement in conflicts via the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including backing Bashar al-Assad in Syria (contributing to war crimes like chemical attacks and civilian bombings), and supporting Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. Iranian drones and missiles have been supplied to Russia for use in Ukraine, exacerbating that war.

• Nuclear Program Violations: Despite the JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal), Khamenei's regime has enriched uranium to near-weapons-grade levels (up to 60-84% in recent years), violated IAEA safeguards, and obstructed inspections, raising global proliferation risks. This includes covert sites and ballistic missile development capable of delivering nuclear payloads.

• Assassinations and Extraterritorial Operations: The regime has orchestrated assassinations of dissidents abroad, including in Europe and the U.S., and supported plots like the attempted bombing of opposition rallies (e.g., 2018 in France). The IRGC has kidnapped dual nationals and held them as hostages for leverage.

• Cyber Attacks and Espionage: Under Khamenei, Iran has conducted major cyberattacks on U.S., Israeli, and Saudi infrastructure, including the 2012 Shamoon virus on Aramco and recent hacks on U.S. water systems, often in retaliation or to sow chaos.

• Corruption and Economic Mismanagement: Khamenei's control over vast economic entities like EIKO (valued at $95 billion+ in 2013) involves corruption, with funds diverted to proxies rather than public welfare, exacerbating poverty while elites enrich themselves.

• Environmental and Humanitarian Crimes: The regime's policies have led to severe environmental degradation (e.g., water mismanagement causing protests and deaths), and during the COVID-19 pandemic, it downplayed risks, leading to high death tolls while prioritizing military spending over health.

He's Still Figuring It Out.

Israel told him too. They wanted it done before but Biden and Obama were pussies.

From the horses mouth today.....Little Marco....

We knew Israel were going to launch an attack......and knew that Iran would retaliate, not only against Israel, but also the US.....so we decided it was best to join in the attack, so the impact of any retaliation against the US would be reduced.

So not nuclear weapon concerns (those facilities were obliterated remember), not regime change, as you just get a knew leader........but to reduce the impact of any retaliation.

Its always nice to throw history up in the faces of Authoritarian lovers such as the international & domestic left , Obama & Nancy had excused sending missiles & didn't need permission from Congress.

"The world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism is no more, its nuclear weapons ambitions buried under the rubble of its dead leaders, and only the Democrats are complaining".

"The last talking point is also a moot point, because when then-President Obama bombed Libya to help the rebels overthrow Gaddafi, Democrats didn’t bat an eye. It was Nancy Pelosi’s remarks that have been making the rounds since the start of Operation Epic Fury, as she said Obama didn’t need permission to conduct airstrikes".

Why Is Trump Illegally Bombing Iran?

Shades of Marlon Brando (Johnny) in The Wild One (1953)

Mildred: Hey Johnny, what are you rebelling against?

Johnny: Whadda you got?

Epstein was an Mossad installation and this is the end result we see today.

Any better theory?

Why Is Trump Illegally Bombing Iran?

It makes the Military Industrial Complex a s***-load of money as defense(sic) war stocks double triple quadrupedal quintuple in value, especially when congressional and administration swamp-critters have insider trading information to make a killing when the killing begins. $$$Cha-Ching$$$ Baby! Especially those who moved crypto into Polymarket and front-ran the invasion odds. $$$Cha-Ching$$$ $$$Cha-Ching$$$ $$$Cha-Ching$$$ Baby!

I think they have the notion that cutting off oil supplies from Venezula and Iran to China is going to give them leverage...amongst other things......I doubt the Chinese are panicking too much.

We get this kind of remark mostly from America. Iran has been financing and encouraging terrorism not only in the Middle East, but all over the world, including the USA, which they don't seem to be aware of. Negotiations about nuclear weapons and developing ballistic missiles have been going on for 10 years now.

Then there's the oil that they deliver to China, regulating that would possibly be a good thing?

Where did Epstein wealth come from

Why he kept on making files and profiles while meeting powerful people and people with wealth and influence?

That's the questions? Epstein was an installation. And maybe my idea and word installation is wrong, but is it important?

AI collected info from The Guardian, Wiki, Al Jazeera, Britanica, C-SPAN and 20 other sources

"Jeffrey Epstein was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, in the working-class neighborhood of Sea Gate in Coney Island.

Ethnicity and Religion

Epstein was of Jewish ethnicity and was raised in a Jewish family. His parents, Pauline and Seymour Epstein, were the children of Jewish immigrants. While he was described as more "culturally Jewish" than religious, he maintained ties to various Jewish charities and figures throughout his life.

Relationships and Family

Wife: Jeffrey Epstein was never married. His most prominent long-term partner and co-conspirator was Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of British media mogul Robert Maxwell.

Father-in-law: Because he never married, he did not have a father-in-law. However, he had a close business and personal relationship with Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine's father, until Maxwell's death in 1991.

Origins of Wealth

Epstein’s wealth, estimated at approximately $600 million at the time of his death, came from several key sources:

Billionaire Clients: He managed the finances of retail mogul Leslie Wexner (founder of L Brands/Victoria's Secret) and private equity billionaire Leon Black. Wexner alone reportedly paid him over $200 million and granted him full power of attorney, which Epstein allegedly used to misappropriate vast sums for himself.

Financial Schemes: He was linked to the Towers Financial Corporation Ponzi scheme in the late 1980s, which defrauded investors of $450 million.

Tax Incentives: By basing his companies in the U.S. Virgin Islands, he secured massive tax breaks that saved him an estimated $300 million over 20 years.

Investments: He made significant returns on early investments in companies like Valar Ventures, founded by Peter Thiel.

Profiles on Powerful People

Epstein's practice of keeping extensive files and recordings of his meetings with high-profile figures—including politicians, scientists, and royalty—has led to several widely discussed theories:

Leverage and Blackmail: Many investigators and victims suggest he used these "files" as leverage to ensure his own protection and influence. This theory is reinforced by the lenient plea deal he received in 2008, where he was reportedly described by some officials as "belonging to intelligence" and being "above [the prosecutor's] pay grade".

Image Curation: He cultivated an image as a "collector" of powerful people to maintain his elite status and attract more billionaire clients who sought access to his network.

While there is no confirmed official record of Jeffrey Epstein being a Mossad agent, several high-profile connections, newly released documents, and long-standing allegations have fueled intense speculation regarding his ties to Israeli intelligence.

1. Key Figures and Personal Connections

Ghislaine Maxwell & Robert Maxwell: Epstein’s long-term partner, Ghislaine, was the daughter of British media mogul Robert Maxwell, who was widely rumored to be a Mossad asset. Some investigators suggest Robert Maxwell introduced Epstein to Israeli intelligence circles in the 1980s.

Ehud Barak: Former Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister Ehud Barak had a decades-long relationship with Epstein, visiting his New York apartment and private island dozens of times. Emails released in 2025–2026 revealed they collaborated on international security deals and business ventures. Barak has expressed regret over the relationship but denies any knowledge of or involvement in Epstein's crimes.

2. Allegations in Government Documents

FBI Reporting: A 2020 FBI report, released in February 2026, cited a confidential source who was "convinced that Epstein was a co-opted Mossad agent" and had been "trained as a spy" under Ehud Barak’s supervision.

Acosta’s "Intelligence" Comment: Alexander Acosta, the prosecutor behind Epstein’s 2008 plea deal, allegedly told Trump transition officials that he was told to "back off" because Epstein "belonged to intelligence". While Acosta later denied saying this under oath, the rumor has persisted as a central piece of the "intelligence asset" theory.

3. Strategic and Financial Links

Brokering Deals: Leaked records suggest Epstein served as a "fixer" for Israeli interests, helping broker security agreements with countries like Mongolia, Côte d'Ivoire, and even attempting backchannel diplomacy with Russia during the Syrian civil war.

Philanthropy: FBI documents show Epstein funded organizations with ties to the Israeli military, such as Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF).

4. Denials and Counter-Claims

Official Denials: Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have strongly rejected these claims. Netanyahu suggested that Epstein’s relationship with Barak actually aimed to "undermine Israeli democracy" rather than serve the state.

"Asset" vs. "Spy": Some experts argue Epstein may have been an informal "asset"—someone who trades favors and information—rather than a trained, salaried "spy" for any one agency.

You ,do t need to shout, but seriously, do you believe Mossad would hire anyone outside?

This a theory, not proved science, and I want to believe, read believe. Based on available information this is or can be a scenario that is possible.

Of course religion, background and ethnicity matters, even he was born in USA.

Why you got so upset?
