Trump says he bombed Iran

[FlyersFan]

This move against Iran was either really smart or really dumb.
I haven't decided which.  Only time will decide that.

I do think America shouldn't be getting rid of the terrorist country alone.
The world will benefit from us spilling our blood and spending our money.

Appears that Trump missed the Iranian leadership on the first strike, hit some senior officials. Got no plan for a ground invasion and hoping that a disarmed population will revolt. Don't see this ending as quick when Trump put an end to their nuclear capabilities.

Going to suck for all involved if this turns into some kind of long term hostilities like Ukraine. As for what Russia, China and other major players do? Could it be the opening days of WW3 as things drag on and heat up?

The people of Iran are close to toppling the regime.
Massive unrest and the money has collapsed.
It might not take much for them to rise up and take over.
That would shorten this thing a lot.

Iran just fired missiles at five countries simultaneously.

Here is what actually happened to each of them.

Bahrain. Confirmed hit on the US Navy Fifth Fleet headquarters.
Bahrain’s own state news agency reported the strike.
casualty figures released yet.
This is the command center for every American naval operation in the Persian Gulf. It was struck.

UAE. Multiple missiles intercepted by Emirati air defenses. One civilian killed in Abu Dhabi from falling debris. The UAE defense ministry confirmed the intercepts.
The Emirates just absorbed an act of war on its sovereign territory from a country it shares a maritime border with.

Qatar. Missile intercepted. Zero damage. The Qatari Interior Ministry confirmed.
The same country Iran just attacked is the country that hosted Al Udeid for twenty years as a gesture of regional balance. That balance ended this morning.

Kuwait. KUNA state news agency confirmed missiles were “dealt with” in Kuwaiti airspace. No reported damage. Kuwait, which stayed neutral through every Gulf crisis since 1991, just had Iranian ballistic missiles flying over its cities.

Jordan. Two Iranian ballistic missiles shot down by Jordanian military. Confirmed by the Jordanian armed forces directly. Jordan intercepted Iranian missiles in June 2025 as well. That was in defense of Israel. This time Iran targeted Jordan itself.

Saudi Arabia. Fars News claims strikes. No confirmation from any Saudi source. No Tier 1 or Tier 2 verification.
Either it did not happen or Riyadh is not yet ready to say it did.

Both possibilities carry enormous implications.

Now understand what Iran just accomplished strategically.

In attempting to retaliate against Israel and America, the IRGC fired missiles at six sovereign nations in a single morning. Not one of those nations attacked Iran.

Bahrain did not bomb Tehran.
The UAE did not launch strikes on Isfahan.
Qatar hosted diplomatic back channels.
Kuwait maintained neutrality for three decades.
Jordon was mediating.

Iran just converted every neutral and semi-neutral state in the Gulf into a potential co-belligerent. Every nation whose airspace was violated, whose civilians were killed, whose sovereignty was breached now has legal and political justification to join whatever coalition forms next. And the damage tells the real story. One civilian dead from debris. Intercepts across four countries. No confirmed destruction of any US military asset. No reported American casualties among 40,000 troops in theater. Iran fired at the entire Gulf and the Gulf caught almost everything. Compare this to what Israel did to Tehran this morning. Precision strikes on the IRGC Intelligence Directorate. Explosions near the Supreme Leader’s office. Three detonations in central Tehran confirmed by Iranian state media itself. One side hit what it aimed at. The other side hit one civilian with debris. This is the asymmetry that will define the next 72 hours. Iran demonstrated intent to strike everywhere and capability to hit almost nothing. The Gulf states demonstrated they can defend themselves. And now those states must decide whether the country that just fired ballistic missiles across their borders gets to do it again. They will not let it happen again. Watch for the joint statement. Watch for airspace coordination between Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Manama, and Kuwait City. Watch for the coalition that Iran just built against itself with a single salvo. Iran did not retaliate against Israel this morning. Iran gave every country in the Middle East a reason to retaliate against Iran.

I just watched the 8 minute announcement from Trump about going to war.
They replayed it on TV news.
I was surprised at the optics.
He was at a podium somewhere  ... not the Resolute desk in the Oval Office.
He was wearing a baseball cap.
He was wearing a sports jacket with no tie.
Trump looked VERY relaxed.
Not the kind of thing you'd expect from the POTUS when announcing war.

That's not a complaint.  
It's just an observation.

SEN FETTERMAN backs Trumps attack on Iran.

HERE

As one of Israel's staunchest defenders from the left, Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., full-throatedly endorsed President Donald Trump's attacks on Iran as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle reacted Saturday morning.  "President Trump has been willing to do what's right and necessary to produce real peace in the region," Fetterman wrote on X. "God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel."
