Trump says he bombed Iran

Canada, Greenland, some remote island only inhabited by penguins?

Israel and the U.S. are only interested in occupation, oil/gas, and rare mineral resources - never peace, that I ever saw. Follow the money.

Then why be interested in Gaza. What is there to occupy with what resources.  

You made a big deal about “deterrence”.  Isreal tried to extend the olive branch, gave up land for peace, tried to negotiate with the Palestinians.  Isreal runs the holy sites with reasonable openness.  Israel has nukes and overwhelming conventional weapons for deterrence.  Isreal has invested greatly in the iron dome and bomb shelters to protect its civilians. Isreal has human rights not even thought about by Hamas.  While Hamas has repeatedly lied about wanting peace.  While Hamas uses human shields to keep launching missiles and rockets to kill civilians in Isreal.  With disregard for human rights, while only concerned with advancing Islam and promoting martyrdom.  Why would Isreal tolerate Hamas.

Have these sites been "obliterated"?

Jury is out on that.

As is a full scale War in the ME.

I'm guessing that Trump's desire to get a Nobel Peace Prize is "on hold".

Not looking forward to what happens next.

Still no evidence presented for this.

Which is worrying.

We never even got evidence that they were close to a bomb. Our own intel community said three months ago that wasn't a concern.

They're not even trying to sell it like they used to. We just have to go along for the ride.

"In 1999, British Gas (BG) discovered the existence of natural gas in the Gaza Marine fields, 20 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza, at a depth of 610 meters below the surface. Further exploration by BG through two successful wells — Gaza Marine 1 and Gaza Marine 2 — determined the field could contain up to 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

That above, is Israel and the U.S.'s end games. Follow the money.

"A 2019 study by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) identified existing and potential Palestinian oil and natural gas reserves in the West Bank and Gaza that could be developed for the benefit of the Palestinian people. 
The report cited the Levant Basin Province, comprising 83,000 square kilometers of the eastern Mediterranean Sea, with 122 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, as one of the most important natural gas resources in the world. Despite the fact that this reserve lies under waters bordering occupied Palestine, Lebanon, and Egypt, Israel has claimed sole access and profits from this find. (tinyurl.com/2r2mh5ts)"

there are approximately 4.2–4.3 million exiled Iranians worldwide, including 150,000–200,000 asylees and 70,000–80,000 active asylum seekers. These estimates reflect the latest trends from UNHCR, national immigration data, and Iranian diaspora reports, adjusted for 2025 conditions. For precise figures, real-time government data would be needed, which is currently unavailable.

نگران فردای پس از سقوط جمهوری اسلامی نباشیم. ایران دچار جنگ داخلی و بی‌ثباتی نخواهد شد. ما برای آینده ایران و شکوفاییش برنامه داریم. ما برای صد روز نخست پس از سقوط، دوران گذار، و استقرار یک حکومت ملی و دموکراتیک، برای ملت ایران و به دست ملت ایران، آماده‌ایم.

Let us not worry about the day after the fall of the Islamic Republic. Iran will not descend into civil war or instability. We have plans for Iran's future and its prosperity. We are prepared for the first hundred days after the fall, the transition period, and the establishment of a national and democratic government, for the Iranian nation and by the hands of the Iranian nation.

What makes anyone think the Iranians have not prepared for such strikes from Israel/U.S.?

Israel hasn’t had a flight to Tehran in 45 years. Now the only flights out of Israel are only Tehran.

Then maybe Hamas should have invested in their civilian population instead of using them for human shields for a rocket / missile program with no real goal but to attack civilians.  Where something like 5 or ten percent of their rockets misfire killing their own civilians.


Remember the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion on 17 Oct 2023.  A misfired Hamas rocket hit the parking lot. Good study how Hamas uses civilians, has disregard for their safety, how Hamas lies, and the only concern is how Hamas can use civilians as shields and martyrs.  

“

When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons. Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.

Hamas should have advance the peace that was worked on to establish. Not thrown it away.  Not go stupid with dumping a good deal of their resources on terror tunnels and rocket attacks.  At least Hamas could have let their civilians use them for bomb shelters.

The only thing Iran was prepared to do was attack civilians with missile attacks?  Have the Iranians even tried to overwhelm Israeli Bases with missiles?  Or they more concerned with just killing Jews?
