US officials issue warning on heightened
threats from Iran
Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/22/2025 7:28:55 PM
Homeland Security officials are warning Americans of heightened threats in the United States after the attacks on Iran. The Department of Homeland Security issued an advisory on June 22 saying attacks from low-level cyber “hacktivists” are likely, and larger attacks could follow if Iranian leaders issue a religious ruling “calling for retaliatory violence against targets in the Homeland.” The agency said Iran has a longstanding commitment to strike American government officials following the killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani in 2020, but the attacks on Iran will likely amplify that commitment.

Up until now, President Donald Trump has stopped short of calling for regime change in Iran, but after he ordered the massive U.S. strikes on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear sites Saturday evening, he appears to have changed his tune. If the current despotic, extremist regime can’t make “Iran Great Again,” perhaps it’s time for someone else to do it, he suggested: Posting to Truth Social Sunday afternoon, he argued that it’s time for “MIGA”:
It’s not politically correct to use the term, “Regime Change,” but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!

The United States, the Middle East and world oil markets are bracing for Iran’s response after President Donald Trump launched punishing strikes on Iranian nuclear energy sites overnight, plunging the region into an unprecedented new phase of a decades-old conflict.
The U.S. struck Iranian nuclear facilities, including the key Fordo site, with 14 GBU-57s, 30,000-pound “bunker buster bombs,” according to the U.S. military. It was the first time the United States has directly bombed the Islamic Republic. The next 48 hours are of particular concern,

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.

There are some things I'd never do in life. I'd never challenge Usain Bolt to a race. I'd never have a conversation with Clarence Thomas and pretend to know more about the law than he does. I'd never volunteer to tackle Derrick Henry, and I'd never try to tell Peyton Manning how to throw a football. And I'd certainly never try to outsmart Secretary of State Marco Rubio on something like foreign intelligence.
But Margaret Brennan doesn't seem to know how to stay in her lane.
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.
President Donald Trump’s strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities “saved the potential loss of American lives,” according to retired General Mark Kimmitt. 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

Iran has launched its first salvo of ballistic missiles at Israel after the US military conducted airstrikes at three key Iranian nuclear facilities in the early hours of Sunday, marking a dramatic escalation in the West Asian conflict.
Iran’s state media said more than 30 ballistic missiles had been fired as sirens rang across parts of Israel, while explosions were heard in Jerusalem. The Israeli Army said it was working to intercept missiles from Iran. Israel had closed its airspace after the US strikes on Iran.
Following his address to the nation Saturday night and the destruction of Iran’s nuclear facilities, President Donald J. Trump issued a warning on Truth Social.
President Trump stated, “ANY RETALIATION BY IRAN AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL BE MET WITH FORCE FAR GREATER THAN WHAT WAS WITNESSED TONIGHT. THANK YOU! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES”
Earlier this evening, he announced that three nuclear sites in Iran—Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan—had been bombed.

Jasmine Crockett’s latest tone-deaf outrage proves once again that some Democrats care more about political posturing than national security. Instead of applauding President Donald Trump’s decisive strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, a move that will protect American lives and interests, Crockett is mad that Trump didn’t “holla” at her first to ask for permission.
Just hours after President Trump accomplished what no other leader dared—crippling Iran’s nuclear program—Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) took to social media in a tirade, fuming that the president didn’t ask for her “permission” to carry out the strike. She failed to acknowledge that the mission was deliberately kept under tight wraps, known only to a select group
We Have No Idea Where This War Will Go

After days of publicly mulling whether to join Israel in its military campaign against Iran, President Trump directed the U.S. military on Saturday to execute a complex attack on three of the nation’s nuclear sites with several American warplanes and submarines. 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.
President Trump caught the world off-guard Saturday by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites — after his apparently strategic deception indicating that such strikes weren’t imminent and trickery with the deployment of US Air Force B-2 bombers.
Trump said Thursday he would make a decision in the “next two weeks” to allow more time for negotiations, giving the sense of reprieve amid fevered speculation he might join Israel’s airstrikes.
“Based on the fact that there’s a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks,”
Democrats in Washington are again talking impeachment. Politicians and pundits are expressing outrage over President Donald Trump attacking Iran without a prior authorization of Congress. It is the Claude Rains School of Constitutional Law where politicians are "shocked, shocked" that Trump is using the authority that they accepted in Democratic predecessors. Fourteen years ago this week, I was in court litigating that very issue when President Barack Obama attacked Libya. Most Democrats supported or were silent on the action.

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 MOP was designed for “reaching and destroying our adversaries’ weapons of mass destruction located in well-protected

On Sunday morning Russia's former president and current deputy chairman of the country's Security Council Dmitry Medvedev issued his reaction to the major US overnight strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, giving what's essentially the view of where things stand from the Kremlin.
Medvedev in a ten-point list of reactions characterized the attacks as ultimately ineffective, and that it will blow back on America and Israel in a way opposite than intended, especially as Tehran will now only push harder for a nuke, and allied countries might now simply be willing to supply them to the Iranians, he described.

Think about this for a second, and I mean that: Is there anything good Democrats have added to your life? I’m not talking about “Democrats” ever – Thomas Jefferson having existed is obviously an easy net-plus for everyone’s life – but the current crop of Democrats who exist in Washington, DC, and pretty much anywhere else. The answer is no.
AOC has no legislative accomplishments, and neither do any of the other members of the goon squad sniffing around her throne. A Hakeem Jeffries speech would not pass as a proof of life video. Nancy Pelosi may be legally dead.

Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has claimed that a number of countries are now prepared to supply Iran with nuclear warheads following the recent American airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. In a series of posts on X, Medvedev said the US operation-targeting sites in Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow - had not only failed to achieve its objective but had, in fact, produced the opposite result. Meanwhile, Iran sought support from Russia, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stating that he would travel to Moscow to hold talks with President Vladimir Putin.
