You think we should just ignore their promises to wipe out Israel as soon as they get one and then turn their target on the US, who they still consider the Great Satan?
Sure, let's just roll the dice with a few million American lives, right?
And this is NOT some endless war that Trump is embarking on. A B-2 bomber strike on Fordow will begin and end in a matter of hours, and we're done! But of course to Trump haters like yourself, you consider that to be a "war", don't you? So tell me, genius. WHO WILL BE ON THE SIDE OF A DECIMATED IRAN for that WW3 you so stupidly envision?
Russia, who can't even finish off a neighboring country with their antiquated and remaining military?
China, who is more concerned with their own coming unemployment levels and recession due to Trump's new tariffs?
The US is back in place as the undisputed most powerful country in the world now, and you dumb liberals hate that Trump has brought us there!

The problem with your dice-roll point, is that you could attack everyone based on that premise. The manipulation is old and worn out. Avoiding this paranoia is what we have intelligence agencies for
No one mentioned anything about an endless war.
Trump did! He ruled out the kind of regime change attempts that failed in Viet Nam, Iraq, and Afghanistan and clearly stated that all we're doing is aiding Israel in THEIR war against Iran, and once we wipe out their nuclear capabilities, we're done!JustinSane » 19 Jun 2025, 1:39 pm » wrote: ↑ Was it a credible fact, when over the past 40 years, Israel has made the same claims - that Iran was months/weeks from a nuclear bomb - and years later there was still no nuclear bomb?.. over and over again?

90% probability you never hat a MAGA hat. I haven't wanted one and yes I voted for him last 3 elections as the lesser of evils running for president.

It's a shame that, in the face of Israel rattling their same old tired drum, you couldn't carry on to live up to those admirable concepts.
Israel has been terrifying the world with the idea of Iran being months from a nuke for 40 years (yes, I'm old enough to remember). 3 months ago Tulsi Gabbard stated that the US intelligence agencies had no evidence of Iran nukes. Trump's reply to this important information seems to have amounted to 'IDGAF - sack the ****' - not a quote
I never gave any credence to Trump being compromised by Russia - and still don't. But Israel?.. well, that's looking increasingly likely, especially when Trump comes out with phrases like "'America First', has Israel at its heart". A paradoxical non-sequitur, it would seem. This is the verge of WW3, Trump is supporting it and is putting Americans in the firing line for a foreign county's issues. He said he wouldn't do that... It's a severe failure.
MAGA hat withdrawn until further notice.

The report comes at a sensitive time, as President Donald Trump seeks to reach a deal with Tehran to limit its nuclear program.
By The Associated Press 05/31/2025
Iran has further increased its stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels, a confidential report by the U.N. nuclear watchdog said Saturday. In a separate report, the agency called on Tehran to urgently change course and comply with its years-long probe.The report comes at a sensitive time, as the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump seeks to reach a deal with Tehran to limit its nuclear program. The two sides have held several rounds of talks, so far without agreement. The report by the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency — which was seen by The Associated Press — says that as of May 17, Iran has amassed 408.6 kilograms (900.8 pounds) of uranium enriched up to 60%.That’s an increase of 133.8 kilograms (294.9 pounds) — or almost 50% — since the IAEA’s last report in February. The 60% enriched material is a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%. A report in February put this stockpile level at 274.8 kilograms (605.8 pounds).
And those US intelligence agencies stated almost a year ago that Iran now has enough fissile material to make more than a dozen bombs.

There you have it.Iran secretly enriching enough uranium for nine nuclear weapons, IAEA report says"Despite countless warnings by the international community, Iran is totally determined to complete its nuclear weapons program," the PMO said
By REUTERS, MAY 31, 2025
Iran said that a report by the UN nuclear watchdog on Saturday is "politically motivated and repeats baseless accusations", state media reported.
Iran said it will "implement appropriate measures" in response to any effort to take action against Tehran at the IAEA governors' meeting.
It also spelled out that Iran's cooperation with IAEA continues to be "less than satisfactory" in "a number of respects." The IAEA is still seeking explanations for uranium traces found years ago at two of four sites it has been investigating. Three hosted secret experiments, it found.
The IAEA has concluded that "these three locations, and other possible related locations, were part of an undeclared structured nuclear program carried out by Iran until the early 2000s and that some activities used undeclared nuclear material," the report said.
"The Agency concludes that Iran did not declare nuclear material and nuclear-related activities at three undeclared locations in Iran, specifically, Lavisan-Shian, Varamin, and Turquzabad," the report said.
At Lavisan-Shian in Tehran, a disc made of uranium metal was "used in the production of explosively-driven neutron sources" at least twice in 2003, a process designed to initiate the explosion in a nuclear weapon, the report said, adding that it was part of "small-scale" tests.
More immediately, it is likely to lead to Iran again accelerating or expanding its rapidly advancing nuclear program, as it has done after previous rebukes at the board. It could also further complicate talks with the United States aimed at reining in that program.
Secret uranium stock enrichment continues
A separate IAEA report sent to member states on Saturday said Iran's stock of uranium enriched to up to 60% purity, close to the roughly 90% of weapons grade, had grown by roughly half to 408.6 kg. That is enough, if enriched further, for nine nuclear weapons, according to an IAEA yardstick.
Both IAEA reports said enrichment to such a high level was "of serious concern" since it is the only country to do so without producing nuclear weapons.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) called the IAEA report on Iran’s nuclear program grave and clear, saying it proves Iran is fully committed to developing nuclear weapons.
The PMO stressed that Iran is violating the Non-Proliferation Treaty and blocking IAEA inspections. It urged the international community to act now to stop Iran’s nuclear progress.
"The IAEA has reported a grave and unequivocal report on Iran’s nuclear program. The agency presents a stark picture that serves as a clear warning sign. Despite countless warnings by the international community, Iran is totally determined to complete its nuclear weapons program," the PMO began.
