Trump says he bombed Iran

[FlyersFan]

Absolute tripe.

What he did was to try to shift the Epstein spotlight.

My post wasn't 'tripe'.
It was accurate.
Small skirmish now saves us from a nuclear war later.

And not everything has to do with Epstein.  
THAT is 'tripe'.

No, the air strike/assassination was accurate.

Nuclear war with whom?

Iran did not have nukes.

And your nation supposedly destroyed said production capability last June when you "totally annihilated" the bases/underground production facilities.

Remember? 

Or was that another Trump lie? 

As to those Epstein files, yeah, people still want those, and they always will until Trump is gone.

He sealed his own deal on that score, and then some...

You have to break a few eggs to make an omelette.
Small skirmish now as opposed to a nuclear world war later.
(a war promised to happen by Iran)
I get that you don't like Trump.
Neither do I.
But he did the right thing with this.

I'm honestly unsure. 
This could go either way as Iran could become even more fundamentalist and clamp down even harder on the less religious Iranians, as they have the majority of the power in Iran. Its over 40 years of a regime building it's base and controlling every aspect of it's peoples lives.

ETA..
I do agree that Iran was trying to build a nuclear warhead and could have started a conflict with Israel purely to wipe them out at some point in the future, but an attack on Iran without a exit plan could end up spreading conflict across the middle east.

Iran issues a Jihad...

Iran issues jihad call and claims Khamenei killing 'declaration of war against Muslims'
 
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's killing has been described as a "declaration of war against Muslims" by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. Speaking on state television, Pezeshkian appeared to be trying to broaden the conflict.
He said: "The assassination of the highest political authority of the Islamic Republic of Iran and a prominent leader of Shiism worldwide... is perceived as an open declaration of war against Muslims, and particularly against Shiites, everywhere in the world. The Islamic Republic of Iran considers it its legitimate duty and right to avenge the perpetrators and masterminds of this historic crime."

Iran, China, and Russia are probably wetting their defense pants over their much touted Radar, SAM interceptors , AND ALL THE OTHER JUNK they thought would actually work against the U.S. an Israeli weapons.

Exclusive - Prior to Iran attacks, CIA assessed Khamenei could be replaced by hardline IRGC elements if killed, sources say.

- In the run-up to the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Saturday, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency assessed that even if Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the operation, he could be replaced by hardline figures from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), two sources briefed on the intelligence said.

The agency's assessments, which were produced over the past two weeks, looked broadly at what could occur in Iran following a U.S. intervention and the extent to which a military operation could trigger regime change in the Islamic Republic -- now a pronounced objective for Washington.
 IRGC figures taking power was among the multiple different scenarios that emerged, a third source familiar with the matter said.
The IRGC is an elite military force whose purpose is to protect Shi'ite Muslim clerical rule in Iran.
The intelligence agency reports did not conclude any scenario with certainty, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters.

If this happens, it could cause more problems for Israel in the future.

Iran issues a Jihad...

It's a call to arms for any daft Muslims who like the word jihad or who wish to fight and/or cause carnage.

And with an estimated 2 billion or thereabouts on Earth.

I imagine plenty of them will come out of the woodwork over this sort of action.

The only way this would have worked is if the Iranian people executed the Ayatollah on their own.

The thing is, these attacks could help radicalize any of those muslims who live in western countries who feel they've now been marginalized by certain western leaders. This is what lead to things like 9/11 and the 7/7 attacks in the past.
It tends to be the recently radicalize that carry out these attacks on the orders of radical groups form elsewhere.

Aye, it's easy to poke the bear when you are behind a few inches of bulletproof glass and surrounded by Secret Service.

I don't think there is much doubt that killing their religious leaders will help radicalise the next generation.

I predict more Manchester Arena type bombings are incoming.

And the World Cup games could be interesting.

There is a reason we don't kill one anothers leaders mate. 

And when we do, what comes afterwards tends to bode poorly, power vacuums and all that jazz.

Nuclear war with Iran.
They are actively building them.
They are threatening the US, Israel and all the US allies with them.
That includes you.
The whole point of the strike is so that they do not accomplish finishing their nukes.
They refuse to stop.
You know all this.
