Trump says he bombed Iran

[Kurokage]

So Iran placing mines in the straight, and gulf, back in 1988 was all imagined? The fact that one of our ships hit said mines, did not sink, and we then sank almost all of Irans navy was a dream?   


I think you have let your tds get a little too far ahead of you lately.

No, but it was a minor incident with 4 mines planted, damaging only one ship, the frigate Samuel B. Roberts. As always your hero worshipping leads to your posting of 'whataboutisms' and ill thought out comments about small incidents in the region. 

How's that 'gas' price now??  So, Trump's boasting he took out all of Iran's launch abilities have really aged well in a week  ​​​​​​​

I think maybe the T in tds needs replacing with a D for Democrat!!

[Kurokage]

No, but I'm tired of the WHINING.  The amount of Anti-American sentiment in this thread is sickening.  

This thread really belongs in the Mud Pit now.

I'm positive it's not anti-America, but it is ant-stupidity concerning the administrations recent decisions.

Trump told MAGA and the America people that America wasn't the 'world police' anymore, yet here he is making poor decisions at the drop of a hat that effect the entire world.

This is an interesting article about Japan's and South Korea's concerns/legality about sending their warships to the Strait.

Japan:

"Stephen Nagy, a professor at the International Christian University, Tokyo, told Al Jazeera it was not unexpected that the US – a treaty ally – would call on it for help, but Japan will need to consider what is expected.
 “The question is if they are going to be on the front line of the attack from Iran or if they are going to provide some kind of supporting role, such as anti-mining activities, refuelling missions, maritime domain awareness,” he said.
 
“It’s not so much of a problem going there and being involved in the challenges associated with the Hormuz Strait; what is more important is what exactly they are going to do in that role. I think the Japanese are going to find a way to legally add value to the Trump administration, but don’t expect warships there fighting Iranian proxies,” he continued."

South Korea:

"In-Bum Chun, a retired South Korean lieutenant general, told Al Jazeera that it is not immediately clear whether Seoul’s Mutual Defense Treaty with the US applies to the Strait of Hormuz.
 
Seoul must also weigh helping the US against maintaining a credible deterrence against North Korea. Recent media reports suggest that the US is considering moving some of its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missiles from South Korea to the Middle East. The missiles were installed to deter North Korea, and their removal, along with naval assets, could make voters nervous.
 
“Seoul must also consider the persistent threat from North Korea and the fact that a South Korean warship is already deployed to the Middle East,” Chun told Al Jazeera."

Again.  Why worry.  According to you it’s just industrial and medical uranium.

Actually, that would be according to them.

I offer mere opinion and speculation.

Same as yourself. 

So back on topic.

The implication being the enriched uranium could be anywhere in Iran.

Thats's apt to be a problem if indeed they did manage to spirit it off into the night...

And will certainly make the recovery, interesting to say the least.

Pentagon 'wants $200 billion for Iran war'

The Pentagon is seeking an extra $200 billion £149 billion) in funding for the war in Iran, according to a new report.
The Defence Department has proposed multiple potential funding requests over the last two weeks, the Washington Post reports, citing a senior Trump administration official.
Some of the administration's officials don't think the proposal will pass in Congress, the source said.
It would likely need at least 60 votes in the Senate to get past the filibuster.
 

 

Ras Laffan strike causes £15bn lossesThe CEO of QatarEnergy has confirmed that two of 14 liquefied natural gas (LNG) production units were damaged at Rass Laffan in the Iranian attack.

Like I said, Trump is covering up for and enriching himself, his family, his buddies, and his donors.

"Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., sons of President Donald Trump, are involved in multiple drone companies that have secured significant government contracts, raising concerns about conflicts of interest. 

• Powerus Corporation, a drone manufacturer partly owned by the Trump sons, is merging with Aureus Greenway Holdings, a golf course operator, to go public.  Powerus has already acquired smaller drone firms and is positioning itself to compete for Pentagon contracts, especially following the Trump administration’s December 2025 ban on foreign-made drones.
  
• Unusual Machines, a drone parts startup, received a $620 million loan from the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital—the largest in the program’s history—after Donald Trump Jr. joined its advisory board in November 2024 and holds a $4 million stake.  The U.S. Army also placed a major order for drone components from the company.
  
• Xtend, an Israeli drone maker backed by Eric Trump, secured a multi-million-dollar U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) contract in November 2025 to develop AI-enabled, low-cost one-way attack drones.  These drones were used in joint U.S.-Israeli operations against Iran, marking the first combat use of such drones by the Pentagon.
  
• 1789 Capital, Donald Trump Jr.’s investment firm, has a major stake in Anduril Industries, which received a $20 billion ten-year U.S. Army contract in March 2026. 
  

While the Trump administration denies any wrongdoing and claims the president’s assets are in a trust managed by his children, ethics experts like Kathleen Clark and Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette have called the situation “corruption” and a “profound conflict-of-interest,” noting that the sons’ financial gains are tied directly to policies and contracts they may influence.

Thank you for posting something relevant to the war.  Quick question, is this their version of the Samson option?  I don't trust that Trump and Benji are on the same page.

As for the other remark...just grow the f*ck up.

Economic collapse isn't war related?
I wouldn't say I'm whining 
More like laughing 

But I digress

Trump and Netanyahu are like the left hand that doesn't know what the right hand's doing

As for the other remark...just keep scrolling

Figures.  Grifters all.

[Thetruth]

If Iran is feeling froggy, maybe they should just jump. We will continue to hit their critical infrastructure until we are forced to quit. The only real option they have at this moment is unconditional surrender. The ball is in their court we'll get as crazy as they want to get.

No there other option is to dig in and force an occupation .

USA doesn't fair well in occupations....
