TEL AVIV, Israel — President Donald Trump on Monday posted on his social media site an ominous message calling for the immediate evacuation of the Iranian capital of Tehran while he’s in Canada attending the G7 summit.
Trump had said more than once during the day that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. He emphasized that again in his social media post, writing “IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.” He said Iran should have signed the ‘deal’ he told them to sign to prevent what he said was “a shame, and waste of human life,” referring to Israel’s attack last week.

What's happening to Iran should have happened 45 years ago. They have been begging for a beat down since the Carter administration.

Don't forget Obama gave Iran a billion dollars while he was president and the Muslim Brotherhood five hundred million. Then Hillary sold uranium from this country to foreign countries. Like it was her own personal material. I don't like sending anyone's son into war but whatever is going on, I have to trust President Trump will do the right thing.

Come on over, folks. We'll trade our Blue City Democrats head-for-head.
Iranians are more pro-America anyway.

People are complaining about America being involved in the Israeli-Iran war, but America has kept Israel from beating the snot out of Iran for decades. If we fall for the give peace a chance rope-a-dope again and undercut Israel's efforts, then here we go, and the cycle continues. The Iranian people won't be free; another dictator nut will start all over again. And, we'll fund their return. So tired of this.

Y'all didn't listen last time when he said "60 days deadline ".
Maybe you will listen this time.
Maybe not.

if there's a righteous war to be in, its destroying the 8th beast of the Bible, islam. I hope Trump is helping Israel to destroy iran;s nukes. And I believe that is exactly what is happening. Thank you, God.

It could mean one thing. Israel will blow to smithereens Iran's remaining nuclear facilities and possibly hit residential areas. The time has come. The Big Payback.

I agree with # 9. It's what I've thought since hearing Trump's advice to those in Tehran.

Maybe IDF's latest intel revealed that Khamenei ordered his nuke team to transfer the enriched material into the center of Tehran thus using the general public as a human shield.

I've seen the pictures of traffic gridlock there. It is not like they have a government helping with contraflow.
I will never forget when Houston tried to evacuate for a hurricane. Some of my family turned around and went back home. Some had to urinate on the side of the road.
I can tell you from experience, Iranians do not cope well in a crisis. They are prone to panic. (and those are the ones who were brave enough to get out of Iran)
But bottom line on Iran, Israel only needs the US to stay out of their way. As an ally we would be a nightmare. Our generals thinking they know best and leaking their secret plans....

to the Iranian people, I say: seek safety in the Persian Gulf. Walk out until your rag floats.

Trump should lay off Truth Social, does he even know how many people live in Teheran? Isn't Dresden and Hiroshima not enough we want another massacre of civilians on our hands? Tucker was right, don't get sucked into fighting Israel wars, his Presidency will be finished. Why the hell is he listening to Lady Lindsey, he just wants us involved in wars around the world. What next are we going to threaten China next.

We have to get involved. If Iran's nuclear operation s aren't destroyed now, sooner or later a nuke would end up on a container ship sent here. That is the raw reality. The only guarantee is using our bunker busters.

Iran never bargained in good faith...they always broke their promises....now the only way to stop them...is to finish the las nuclear site with bunker busting bombs....and Netanyahu knows it....President Trump has tried over and over again to negotiate with Iran...but Iran has played a cat and mouse game...it would be called a Tom and Jerry show....BarackHUSSEINObama and ole Joe biden were easy to fool...but in comes President Trump and suddenly truth... justice...and the America first way....

#16 Are you under the impression that Iranians are Arabs? They are not.
They are Persian and actually tend to have a bit of prejudice against Arabs.
The people for the most part are NOT followers of islam, but the mullahs got into power and mandate adherence.

We don't really have much choice. As deep as the enrichment facilities are underground, ONLY the Massive Ordinance Penetrator weapons will reach them. If the IDF has to go it alone, with the equipment they have, your CHILDREN and THEIR children will be having this same conversation one day.
If we/they are lucky. (And the Pakistanis are already involved).

Is Congress declaring war? If not, then initiating war exceeds the powers granted the President under our Constitution.
When this happened in the past (Korea and Vietnam), a direct attack on U.S. forces was used to justify a military response from the Commander in Chief. That was true in Korea and a lie in Vietnam doesn't change the fact that the President was perceived to be responding to attacks, not unilaterally starting a war. Likewise, both Presidents Bush sought Congressional support for their respective limited wars.
I support the destruction of the Iranian regime. They are dangerous and evil. However, President Trump should secure a Congressional declaration before U.S. forces are committed to war.

They pay more attention to our leader than their own. Tehran looks so beautiful being so empty this morning.
