Trump says he bombed Iran

[FlyersFan]

But what are the objectives? 

The stated objective is 'no nuclear program'.
But you know the secret objective is regime change too.
They won't state that because if it doesn't happen then
they will be stuck in an unending war.   So they just
say it's the nuclear program.   It gives them an exit ramp.

Well, they have to want peace, and right now they are pissed off.

They rejected a peace deal Flyers.

Seems to me it's Trump that requires an exit ramp as opposed to forever war, which the American people certainly don't want. 

He and Bibi are apparently hijacking their TV channels and trying to cause an uprising.

But the kicker is, they hate those two just as much, if not more than they hated the Ayatollah.

What a predicament.

Do Iranians hate Trump now
 
Thought for 29s
Based on recent events in early 2026, including U.S.-Israeli military strikes that killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and sparked ongoing conflict, Iranian opinions on Donald Trump are sharply divided rather than uniformly negative. While regime supporters and pro-government factions express strong hatred toward him, viewing the actions as unprovoked aggression and Western meddling , many ordinary Iranians—particularly those opposed to the Islamic Republic—have celebrated the strikes and expressed gratitude to Trump, seeing him as a catalyst for potential regime change . Reports indicate contrasting emotions across Iran, with some mourning Khamenei and others rejoicing, often tying positive sentiments directly to Trump's role .
Public discourse on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) highlights this split. Pro-opposition voices, many identifying as monarchists or reformists, have trended hashtags like #THANKYOU_TRUMP and #KingRezaPahlavi (referring to the exiled son of Iran's last shah), praising Trump for targeting the regime . In contrast, a smaller but vocal segment criticizes him, with trends like #SendBarron mocking his family's non-involvement in the conflict .
Iranian state media and officials have condemned Trump, accusing him of "big lies" about Iran's nuclear program and escalating tensions ahead of potential talks . However, Trump has claimed that Iran's new leadership is open to dialogue, suggesting a possible de-escalation path amid the chaos . Overall, hatred is prominent among hardliners, but widespread support exists among those hoping for a post-regime future, making a blanket "yes" or "no" inaccurate.

I was just reading that all the air crew ejected and are safe.

That's a plus point at least.

Three F-15E.

I would have thought they would have been harder to shoot down. 

Glad the crews are safe through. 

Must be quite a trip pulling that ejection handle...

British invention, but not always a totally safe outcome for the pilot. Sometimes the pressure impacts/compresses the spine and if so, they can't fly again..... but at least you are alive!

Pretty standard war procedure.
Knock out all communications, even civilian ones.
Have your own propaganda put in it's place.
