Israeli officials have told the Trump administration they do not want to wait two weeks for Iran to reach a deal to dismantle key parts of its nuclear program and Israel could act alone before the deadline is up, two sources said, amid a continuing debate on Trump's team about whether the U.S. should get involved. The two sources familiar with the matter said Israel had communicated their concerns to Trump administration officials on Thursday in what they described as a tense phone call.

Do they have the means to penetrate AND destroy the facility? The existence of a visible target makes me wonder if it's a decoy, or at least an expendable redundancy. In a lot of ways, IDF and Mossad have demonstrated intelligence and abilities beyond ours. But the particular job of penetrating a deep and hardened site might require more power and in greater volume, than the tiny Israel can muster by themselves.

Why has Trump suddenly started to run so scared? He has lost his nerve or else he is in a pout that his magical negotiating skills have failed big time and this is no longer all about him. Either way he either needs to pull the trigger or stand aside.

#4 is correct. Play up the tension between Israel and the US then catch the murderous mullahs by surprise. This night was weeks in the planning just waiting for Iran to get close to a nuke then wipe out their facilities when they were lulled into thinking they had more time to negotiate another fake ceasefire to buy more time. Would Biden or the leftist cabal using the auto-pen and actually running the country have done this and saved the world from those crazy fanatics? Don't make me laugh.

Iran orders closure of Strait of Hormuz

Posted by Dreadnought 6/22/2025 4:56:47 PM Post Reply
Iran’s parliament has voted to close the Strait of Hormuz, the vital shipping channel through which around 20% of the world’s daily oil flows. The move, which could block $1 billion in oil shipments per day, is likely to send oil prices soaring. It will come into effect pending a final decision by Iran’s Supreme Council. The Supreme Council’s decision must be made by tonight, according to Iran’s state-run Press TV. Iran’s major escalation in response to US strikes on its nuclear facilities “will be done whenever necessary,” Email Kosari, Commander in the Revolutionary Guards, said on Sunday.

Israel just used America’s successful strike on Iranian nuclear facilities to put the woke UK government in its place. U.S. President Donald Trump proved himself the leader of the free world Saturday, Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister Gideon Sa’ar tweeted, urging Great Britain to follow America’s lead in opposing Iran’s mass murdering regime. Unfortunately, since the woke idiots destroying Britain are fully dedicated to importing antisemitic Muslims who hate Israel, and condemned Israel’s “escalation,” that probably won’t happen. Sa’ar explained Sunday, “Spoke with UK Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy and told him that the U.S. acted as the leader of the free world yesterday. Western civilisation must back the US now.”

Images are now emerging showing the before and after at Iran’s underground Fordow nuclear facility. The “before” being of course previous to Saturday night, the “after” being after the United States unleashed numerous bunker-busting bombs and reportedly absolutely demolished the site. Part of the mountain was simply vaporized: The first satellite images from Iran’s Fordow nuclear enrichment site show that part of the mountain protecting the facility was completely obliterated by US bunker buster bomb strikes Saturday. Possible bomb entry points and rubble was visible following President Trump’s surprise B-2 stealth bomber attack overnight, the images taken by Maxar Technologies show.

He praised the operation during an interview with CNN and admitted he was both “fascinated” and “impressed” with the strategic use of deception and timing that defined the mission — calling it “much like a Trump deal.” Speaking to Anderson Cooper on CNN, Kimmitt — former Assistant Secretary of State and retired brigadier general — offered rare praise on the network for Trump’s handling of the high-stakes operation.

The successful U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites conducted Saturday night are not a prelude to a broader regime-change campaign, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said during a Sunday morning press briefing. The strikes on nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan resulted in “severe damage and destruction,” but it’s “way too early” to determine whether Iran retains some nuclear capability, General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said. “This mission was not and is not about regime change,” Hegseth insisted

The US used six B-2 bombers to drop a dozen “bunker buster” bombs on the Fordow nuclear site in Iran, a US official told CNN. Navy submarines fired 30 TLAM cruise missiles at two other sites, Natanz and Isfahan, and a B2 dropped two bunker busters on Natanz, the official said. The specifics of the strikes were earlier reported by The New York Times. “Bunker buster”: The GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bomb, known as a “bunker buster,” is a 30,000-pound bomb with 6,000 pounds of explosives.

The U.S. has taken out the three nuclear facilities at Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan in Iran. The initial reports are that Fordow was taken out by six bunker-buster bombs by three B-2 stealth bombers, carrying two bombs each. Then, 30 Tomahawk missiles were fired from U.S. submarines to hit Natanz and Isfahan. It sounds from the reports like they didn't just get them — they got them and then some. But, according to Fox, we'll find out more on Sunday with more of a damage assessment to ensure they did all the damage they needed to do. On top of it, our planes got away safely,

President Trump has been quite clear for as long as he’s been in politics that under his watch, Iran would never be allowed to get a nuclear weapon. In the early months of his first term, he said that he hoped to be able to find a diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear threat but, if not, he was prepared to take military action. On Saturday night, he followed through. After a week of Israeli attacks that took out Iran’s air defense systems, crippled its military command, and dealt damage to its nuclear program, Trump delivered what was intended to be the death blow.

Six U.S. B-2 intercontinental manned strategic bombers took out Iran's deepest nuclear bomb development sites today, in what could well prove to be the most historic and important decision President Donald Trump will have made when he leaves office in 2029. The radical Muslim tyranny that has ruled Iran since Jimmy Carter was president in the late 1970s has been killing Americans for decades. Iran's murderous acts began with the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Lebanon and continued through a terrible toll of more than 600 Americans as of this day.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson unloaded on her Supreme Court colleagues Friday in a series of sharp dissents, castigating what she called a "pure textualism" approach to interpreting laws, which she said had become a pretext for securing their desired outcomes, and implying the conservative justices have strayed from their oath by showing favoritism to "moneyed interests." The attack on the court's conservative majority by the junior justice and member of the liberal wing is notably pointed and aggressive but stopped short of getting personal. It laid bare the stark divisions on the court and pent-up frustration in the minority over what Jackson described as inconsistent and unfair application of precedent

Hours later, Mr. Trump declared the mission a “spectacular military success,” saying during a national address from the White House that U.S. forces had “completely and totally obliterated,” Iran’s nuclear program. “There’s no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight, not even close,” he said, standing in front of Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

He gave no advance warning that he would disrupt her briefing. Instead, Padilla barged forward to the podium, shouting about the deportation of illegal aliens. Immediately, Padilla got his media moment wish -- once Secret Service agents, who had no idea who Padilla was, forcibly removed him. Sen.
