36500 is nationwide not 1 city

This alone should be enough for the world to come together to destroy any government that does this let alone one with a huge ballistic missile stockpile that's actively working towards nukes.

Russia gets its oil from Siberia mostly.

Top 3 trading partners are China, India and Turkey.

Iran means little to anyone.

Siberia is a part of Russia, fyi. Russia now can sell more oil for much higher prices even approved by Trump...

What? Trump said he obliterated any nukes related action in Iran just a few months ago...

TRUMP SAVES THE US EMPIRE, OR MAYBE NOT

There are a number of reasons for greater Israel is one but there are other important aspects

1/ BRICS to maintain dollar hegemony BRICS must be destroyed Venezuela and now Iran 2 important brics nations, what are Russia and China going to do if Iran falls likley not many other countries will be rusing to join.

2/ The most important part as the World power, the US must weaken rivals, the US must make IRAN fall, with Iran 'fallen' this makes Russias underbelly weak, think of the proxy Ukraine war now the US and west can use those Azabjaan etc etc countries to have in Ukraine type issues this in the long term will keep Russia busy in the cost to manpower and the cost of many mini wars, AND the more important one CHINA, it gets most of its oil from Iran and middle east if the US controls the supply well great also Iran is importanr to Chins for its belt and road initiative a seamless supply route from China to Europe disrupt this well!

So, what changed since Trump started his war?

Khamenei was replaced by Khamenei, wow, what a great achievement.

Accountability for the regime in Iran? Trump is not even interested in accountability...

There is some doubt emerging over that. Apparently he has not been seen in public since the father died and there is some speculation that he may have been injured or even killed in the same attack.

Time will tell, it usually does.

You read that? After all the supporting rallies so far.

I read that Netanyahu speculation that he may have been injured or even killed

Most likely we are both wrong.

the other nations did not have a problem selling oil, but Russia had. Trumps friend Putin only now earns the money to up his nuclear arsenal and continue financing his war in Ukraine.

So a year ago Trumps stopped supporting Ukraine, and now openly made sure that Russia earns so much more money to continue speeding up building up their military and running over Ukraine...

Bibi told him to.

So true. While Trump is portrayed at the forefront of this illegal action, it is above all yet another Israeli war in the region, which it continues to destabilise with its endless militarism and unbridled pursuit of hegemony. Not only does it fulfill Israeli strategic objectives more than that of the Americans, even Rubio has confirmed that the strikes were initiated by the Israelis. Not content with his genocidal onslaught in Gaza, and terrified that the west would forge a diplomatic deal with Iran, Bibi is now fulfilling his lifelong 'dream' of making war on Iran with US involvement, having suckered Trump yet again. And to hell with the region, rules based order, and the rest of the world's economy.

Yes. Schoolgirls got killed. Obviously bad. Do not forget though that Iran's proxy Hamas killed babies on Oct 7.

2 possibilities. Either you're foolish enough to believe trump cares about that, if true, or your post has nothing to do with my post you quoted.

I've been thinking about this too and it doesn't make sense that Trump is truly as reckless and ignorant as he appears to be.

There has to be an agenda of some sort Trump is not making these decisions he simply a puppet doing the bidding of a higher power such as the Deep State. There are countless possibilities, one is to completely destroy the world economy, thereby reducing the dollar to pennies, and creating an ability to pay off the US debt for a fraction of its current amount. Along that line of thinking it could have been the Deep State that started covid, hoping that would do the job, and it certainly could be the Deep State that is starting this level of economic destruction.

The other scenario is that this is just simply a bid for possession of Iran's oil, much the same as what appears to be the case in Venezuela, if the US were to control the oil of Iran and Venezuela that's about a third of the world supply.

Of course that will never work, but when you have guys as naive, ignorant and mindless as Trump, Miller, Hegseth, Graham and some of these other nitwits, what they believe really doesn't matter does it?

Any other guesses as to why they started this war? Democracy building and nuclear weapons simply don't count, they are both completely invalidated reasons.

No, while children were undoubtedly killed in the attack, they did not explicitly kill babies. That was exposed as atrocity propaganda.

The beheading of babies was a hoax but not killing babies. That's documented along with scores of children. Add to this murder, rape and kidnapping. All deliberate targeting of civilians. What happened with the girls school is tragic but they were not directly targeted. The target was the IRGC base.

What about the thousands of children murdered in Gaza? Is that tragic too?

Yep. Sure is tragic no doubt about it but I guess if Oct 7 never happened and Hamas didn't use schools to launch missiles from thousands of Gazan children would still be alive.

All these "well what abouts" make it sound like everything is the same -- just the numbers are different.

Terrorist acts against Americans scattered over several decades.

And more to come, probably. They are hostile to US.

Not sure you've seen the news, but Khomeini is dead. Banisadr is dead. Reagan is dead. Malcolm Kalb is dead. Bill Doherty is dead. Many of the "students" and many of the other hostages are dead. Tony Menendez is dead. Shah Pahlavi is dead. Trump did not attack Iran because of 1979.

Going back even farther, Kermit Roosevelt is dead. Mossadegh is dead. The former CEOs of British Petroleum and Esso in 1953 are dead.

You say Trump is hostile to Iran because of 1979? Iranians say the Iranians are hostile to the US because of 1953.

In a line from the movie Body of Lies: Ain't nobody innocent in this thing........but 180 elementary schoolgirls paid for someone's wrongdoing.

Using your "logic", if Mossadegh was not overthrown in 1953, Iran might be the sole true democracy in the Middle East and not funding groups called Hezbollah or Hamas.

Chicken and egg.

No they didnt. That was a legitimate exercise of self defense caused by Israeli aggression.

Get with the program dude: Accidental killing of civilians by Israelis is murder. Deliberate killing of a Jewish baby anywhere is victory.

Here is another theory for you.

How is Mojtaba Khomeini allowed to own a massive real estate fortune in London if they are enemies of the West?

Because they are greasing each other's pockets, maybe?

Lloyd's of London was insuring the Straits of Hormuz, and now Trump is challenging UK's shipping monopoly and moving in. This is being seriously downplayed in the media or not discussed at all. But that could be a very big part of what's going on.

Epstein is the only part of the Israeli plan that Trump understands.

Of course this nonsense is not discussed in the media.

Have we forgotten the Trump-Epstein files so quickly? If so, the war in Iran has been a success. If not, the war to eliminate evil must go on 🙄

Most likely we are both wrong.

Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has been injured but is “safe and sound,” the son of President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Wednesday, offering one of the few official explanations for his absence from public view since being appointed last week.
