I pray they can do that as soon as possible, without bloodshed. Believe me, I know the ruling regime is a criminal outfit by its own terrorists tactics abroad. For example.

Unfortunately, not much has changed. Iran will remain defiant, attacks on Israel will continue, and now there will be attacks on US assets in the Persian Gulf region and perhaps terror attacks on US soil.

No, I don't support Trump terrorist attack.

I don’t support a lot of things we’re doing nor do I believe it will end well. In my experience, everything catches up with us eventually and it’s usually worse.

Remember, it’s Zelensky who is playing with WWIII.

A world war by definition means more than one leader or nation being involved. WWII had Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito.

How will Iran respond?published at 06:28 (BST)

Frank Gardner
Security correspondent

Iran must now choose between three strategic courses of action in response to the US attack overnight.

Do nothing. This could spare it from further US attacks. It could even choose the diplomatic route and rejoin negotiations with the US. But doing nothing makes the Iranian regime look weak, especially after all its warnings of dire repercussions if the US did attack. It may decide the risk of weakening its grip on its population outweighs the cost of further US attacks.
Retaliate hard and fast. Iran still has a substantial arsenal of ballistic missiles after manufacturing and hiding these away for years. It has a target list of around 20 US bases to choose from in the broader Middle East. It could also launch ‘swarm attacks’ on US Navy warships using drones and fast torpedo boats.
Retaliate later at a time of its own choosing. This would mean waiting until the current tension has subsided and launching a surprise attack when US bases were no longer on maximum alert.

President Donald Trump said Saturday that the US military struck three sites in Iran, directly joining Israel ’s effort to destroy the country’s nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran’s threat of reprisals that could spark a wider regional conflict.

The decision to directly involve the US comes after more than a week of strikes by Israel on Iran that have moved to systematically eradicate the country’s air defences and offensive missile capabilities, while damaging its nuclear enrichment facilities. But US and Israeli officials have said that American stealth bombers and a 30,000-lb. bunker buster bomb they alone can carry offered the best chance of destroying heavily-fortified sites connected to the Iranian nuclear program buried deep underground.

The strikes are a perilous decision for the US as Iran has pledged to retaliate if it joined the Israeli assault, and for Trump personally, having won the White House on the promise of keeping America out of costly foreign conflicts and scoffed at the value of American interventionism.

This strike was driven by the momentum generated by Israel's successes in dismantling Iran's proxy and freeing Syria from the grip of Hezbollah. The logical next step was the dismantling of the Iranian threat potential and assassinating the Iranian elite. Khamenei himself issued a fatwah against nukes. So it either seems that the Americans and Israelis are reading efforts within his regime to build nukes despite his prohibition or there is no actual program and the agenda is simply to reduce Iran in the region after years of terrorist outrages. Khamenei's control would be consolidated by these attacks but Iran's military capability is significantly reduced.

The main regional beneficiaries after Israel are the Saudis who are sworn enemies of Iran. In the Sunni - Shia conflict Trump has chosen a side.

He said he would not do anything for two weeks and then he acted within the two-week window. He acted without congressional support. So this is a president who thinks he can act outside of his word and law. Against Iran that is less of a problem than in other relationships where allies for instance need to trust he is a man of his word and will keep to international law.

By the time Israel and the USA have finished degrading Iranian military capabilities their most likely choice will be option three. Unfortunately for them, asymmetric warfare has proven completely ineffective against a determined opponent like Israel which is immune to global public opinion. So option one is the best choice but that is not the nature of Shia fundamentalists who rule oppressively by might not right.

Their will come a time, according to Ezekiel 38, when USA will no longer be on Israel's site, and Russia will aid Iran.

Russia, Turkey, Iran and others will join in attack against Israel, but God will be with Israel, and He will destroy all Israel's enemies.

Time to wake up, the Lord is coming!

Not much has changed then. The radical Islamists had already decided the US and west was in the same basket as Isreal. They have been commiting terror against the west for decades now. They were just slowed by Covid and put all their attention to their own neighbourhood in wipiing out the Jewish infidels.

So really its just business as normal and they will now have to put their attention again on the western infidels as well. But believe me if we did not act to stop these radicals then they would come looking for us in the end as they put us just a little below the Jews. Even on par.

This has been brewing for decades and no one has confronted this growing radicalism. What we see now is not the fault of the Isrealis or US or west. This could have all ended or not happened in the first place if these radicals did not breach the simple principle of allowing their fellow humans to live and exist with a different belief than themselves.

Iran is now isolated. They no longer have the carrot of a nuke. Their proxies in the area have been disseminated. They have no Air Force left. They are running out of missiles and drones. Their ability to continue to fund and spread terror in the Middle East has been highly reduced. I think quite a bit has changed.

Don't you remember 9/11? All they needed was a few guys to do immense damage.
And then President Bush declares "victory" after invading Iraq, is if we can fix everything with our big bomb

I do remember 911. Even more reason to destroy Iran’s nuke capabilities. If they have a nuke then they no longer need planes to fly into buildings. They can then just obliterate a city or a country and kill millions.

Our own intelligence director testified that Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon. So who was Trump listening to when he dismissed his own intelligence. Of course it was Israel and that liar Netanyahu who has been saying that for decades.

Let’s test that. You only need 3-4% enrichment for power plants and energy. Iran was at 60% enrichment and were building a third enrichment plant. They need 90% enrichment to build a bomb. The intelligent director is right in the sense that Iran was not building a nuke but that is because they have not achieved the enrichment needed yet. Iran would have built a nuke. Do you think we (and the world) would have been safe with a rabid terrorist state that proclaimed death to the US having a fully operational nuclear weapon? Should we have waited to find out?

Magog is Russia. There is no country that aids Israel in Ezekiel 38, therefor Usa will bo longer aiding Israel.
