US attacks under-construction Iran nuclear plant, Iran says

Iran said the United States struck a nuclear power plant under construction, while Kuwait reported that a power generation and water desalination facility had been hit for the second time in two days.

Iranian officials did not provide additional details in the account referenced on Monday, beyond saying the facility under construction was hit by the US. The claim added to mounting tensions in the region, as both Iran and the United States traded allegations over actions and attacks.

Kuwait meanwhile said its affected facility, which produces electricity and provides desalinated water, had been struck again. The statement cited that the location was targeted for the second time in as many days, without specifying the nature of the strike or the extent of any damage.

CENTCOM reports US death in Iraq

US Central Command (CENTCOM) said one US service member was killed in Iraq on Saturday. The announcement came a day after CENTCOM reported that two US soldiers were killed, one was reported missing, and others were wounded in Jordan during an attack on a military facility.

CENTCOM’s account linked the incidents in Jordan to an Iranian attack, and described the sequence of events over the two-day period as the latest in a wider cycle of hostilities.

The reports underscored how quickly developments moved across multiple countries, with US military fatalities and injuries being described alongside separate claims by Iran and Kuwait about strikes involving critical infrastructure.

Iranian commander warns of response

A top Iranian commander warned the United States that any aggression would be met with a decisive and damaging response from Iran’s armed forces, according to the message attributed to him.

The warning was issued as the competing claims about strikes continued. Iran’s statement about the under-construction nuclear plant and Kuwait’s account of the second attack on a combined power and desalination site were presented as separate developments, but together they reflected heightened concern over the targeting of facilities tied to energy and water supplies.

No additional information was provided in the accounts about specific targets beyond the types of sites cited by the respective sides, or about operational details related to the strikes.

Claims and counterclaims continue

With Iran describing a US attack on its nuclear project and Kuwait saying its facility was targeted again, the situation remained characterised by assertions from multiple governments rather than verified shared details. The US military-related reports from CENTCOM, meanwhile, focused on casualties involving US forces in Iraq and on the earlier incident in Jordan.

The developments were framed by Iran through its commander’s warning, and by the United States through CENTCOM’s casualty statements, as all sides continued to describe actions in the context of ongoing confrontation.

Both are active terror states thinking that the most horrific war crimes are just a normal part of warfare.

Both of those terror states need to be de-weaponized, cut into economic viable smaller statelets and put under UN administration until their populace is able to exist peacefully in a democratic system.

As the citizens of one of the two states actually think, that their system is already democratic, while at the same time having the lowest literacy rates of any "developed" country (and Iran being at least in youth literacy on par or above), I guess re-education of democratic values will be a difficult process and take an inordinate amount of time more.

FAKE NEWS!!!1!1!

Trump said he OBLITERATED Iran's nuclear facilities in 2025.

You can't bomb something that doesn't exist.

AI Overview

Yes, President Donald Trump repeatedly declared in 2025 and early 2026 that the U.S. "obliterated" Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities, particularly at sites like Fordow and Natanz.

Going through your post point by point, Trump’s administration is indeed targeting people because of their race, as ICE is profiling people based on whether they look like they might speak Spanish. A substantial part of Trump’s administration (not to mention his supporters) are white supremacists -- fearing, and trying to forestall, the day in the near future when the population of the US that identifies as white will fall under 50%.

 

As for “terrorist regimes,” since the end of WWII, in too many foreign adventures to count, how many hundreds of thousands of civilians in foreign countries have Americans killed, whether by aerial bombing or as collateral in direct combat? The most recent atrocity being the murder of 150 Iranian schoolgirls. The US in fact is the only country to have used nuclear weapons, and Trump in his last administration actively questioned why the US couldn’t use them again. Who’s the terrorist here? You tell me.

 

America will never be a dictatorship? I’m an American, was born and raised there, and, in the end, the United States is just another country. We are not exceptional; we are not indispensable. Often, we are just plain stupid. You say that “Americans can get rid of someone that’s gone over the edge.” Well, let’s see about that. Trump, right now, is in the process of going over the edge, in his warmongering and in his very real threats of election interference to ensure his continuing majority in Congress. Let’s wait until the midterms to see if Americans indeed can get rid of someone who’s gone over the edge.

Innocents die in every war. Civilians are bombed as the enemy lives next to their homes and businesses. Iran itself has killed thousands of it's own citizens. American have done that before in the Civil War, but intentional killings isn't part of their plans. Since you want to bring up the past, which most countries have learned from, this also happened during World War 2, where the German and Japanese killed and tortured thousands of innocents, from many countries. Their own citizens paid for this at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which was horrendous b0ut saved countless lives.

This war needs to end with things improving for everyone, and Iran's regime needs to stop what they've been doing the last 47 years. it might not happen, but America has put a severe dent in their military and any normal leaders who are actually thinking of their citizen's futures would negotiate and stop shooting at it's neighbors, as they haven't a chance in hell of winning this by attrition.

Those schoolgirls weren't killed intentionally. They were collateral damage, as Iran chose to have a base next to their schools, which shows how little they care about their citizens even more. I don't deny the stupid things America has done in wars. I've lived there 62 years and will soon be moving back. Being an American you should know what's gone on and why.

I never said Trump was normal thinking. Billionaires that become politicians are acting like God, and him being a narcissist doesn't help matters. He shouldn't have been elected but many Americans had nothing else they could count on, so we'll never know what might have been. Only that we hope we have better choices in the future.

It doesn't matter what percentage of America is white, as America has always been all countries in one place, and if they can get along, that's all that matters.
