Massive strikes at Iran

US and Israel Launch Massive Iran Strikes as Trump Signals Regime Showdown

Early Saturday morning, the world changed again as the United States and Israel launched coordinated US strikes on Iran, marking the most significant direct military action against the Iranian regime in years, and possibly decades, with President Donald Trump confirming that “major combat operations” are underway in what the Pentagon has named Operation Epic Fury, while Israel calls its campaign Operation Roaring Lion.

What Triggered the US Strikes on Iran:

President Trump announced that the US strikes on Iran are designed to eliminate “imminent threats” posed by the regime.
  • He cited decades of Iranian-backed terrorism including the 1979 hostage crisis
  • 1983 Beirut Marine barracks bombing that killed 241 American service members
  • proxy attacks in Iraq that maimed and killed US troops
  • Tehran’s financial and military support for Hamas, which carried out the October 7 massacre in Israel that left more than 1,000 dead, including dozens of Americans.
And the Ayatollah and 40 of his top officers were killed.

3 American Servicemen Dead! For What?

Lynn Anderson said...

You have no idea why we are helping to take down the number one terrorist country in the world? Really? We are committed to disrupting all Iranian intelligence and military operations that threaten American citizens or our nation's security and critical infrastructure and many of the Arab countries are with us.. They had plenty of time to end their development of their nuclear program. They were warned that Iran would not have a nuclear bomb to eventually blow your little brain out.

Democrats against this military action? Are they all nuts?

I don't really care Lynn. I care about the dead soldiers. Everything else is secondary. Let some other country help Israel. There are plenty of Russians in Israel, Let Russia help Israel.

@4:38...perhaps you should care about the 1,000+ of American soldiers that Iran has killed in Iraq, Beirut, Afghanistan, etc. The U.S. is preventing a future missile attack and nuclear catastrophe and keeping he world safe..

Have you looked at the recent Polls? We'll be lucky to get out of this alive!

@6:31...They were still developing nukes and refused to stop... They struck Iran's nuclear facilities that caused severe damage in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan last year.

Lynn Anderson said...

@6:42...the only moron is you. Look up Trump's educational background. I would say he read many books--Donald Trump was educated at the Kew-Forest School, the New York Military Academy (enrolled at age 13), and later attended Fordham University for two years. He transferred to the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, graduating in 1968 with a Bachelor of Science in Economics.
A 156 IQ is at the 99.9905490555 percentile. That means that Donald Trump is smarter than 99.99 percent of the people on planet Earth

Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated — and Suggestions Otherwise are Fake News

Well, I don't know what his IQ is, but his poll numbers are dropping like a rock.

Lynn Anderson said...

@9:06...because you Democrats would rather see Iran continue to shout "Death to America." You would rather see Iran continue to develop nukes and threaten the globe. Pathetic. Democrats are the problem. You are content in our enemies being the number one power as we stay pacifists and eventually get slaughtered in our beds. They have a missile that can almost reach the United States right now.

@6:58...It was set back by years but they are still building centrifuges-- Despite this, Iran has developed and deployed thousands of advanced centrifuges (IR-2m, IR-4, IR-6) for uranium enrichment at Natanz and Fordow, aiming for, but not limited to, 20% to 60% purity per reports.

@6:48..."we'll be lucky to get out alive," I guess you would like that win. No faith in this country...sad.

Some smart poster asked me why "your president didn't go to vietnam"--
Ask the exact same question of
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Bill Clinton
Barack Obama
Joe Biden Received student deferments and a medical deferment (asthma) during the Vietnam War

You voted for all those guys ! Lol

Lynn Anderson said...

I voted for Trump

Certainly a legitimate question concerning Clinton! Roosevelt was a cripple. Obama was too young for Viet Nam. GHW Bush was a war hero, also, Kennedy. I was never clear on W's service, but it is clear that Trump should have served. He could have probably been at least a 1st Lieutenant. I would think being a Commissioned Officer would have been very appealing to him.

Lynn Anderson said...

My point was not necessarily Vietnam but enlistment in general. Trump had a medical excuse as did Biden.

People who enlist in the Armed Forces, when there is no war, generally have an objective. Many of them have a family history of service to their Country. Others look at it as an opportunity to advance their station in life, and still others, can't get a job, and the Army is better than nothing.
