It’s pretty apparent that Iran isn’t going to give up its goal of nuclear grade uranium ; if this is the line in the sand for the US administration then it’s a foregone conclusion that an attack of sorts is inevitable .

Both parties now playing for time and strategic advantage

Trump boasted he had destroyed Irans nuke capability. All BS...they bombed a mountain and may have delayed the inevitable. Iran has no choice but to dash for nukes, or they are over. While Isreal have nukes Iran must have nukes. Mutually assured destruction is probably the only way to get 'peace' in the middle east.

The problem is we have fundamentalists in Iran and Isreal with their finger on the trigger (and a loose cannon in the states). Even a cold war might be fairly hot!

What are donny and pals going to do? Shock and awe? Look at a map and it's clear that this is going to be the biggest challenge the US has had in the middle east. Massive land mass, secured by vast mountain ranges. I just don't see how the US win this (Isreal could come out as winners, while destroying Trump and the GOP).

No one seems to be talking about the Iranian people who have suffered under the fanaticism of these supposed "holy men." These hypocrites call everyone an infidel yet the only ones that applies to is themselves. Well said the Savior: on the outside they have the appearance of whitened sepulchers but inwardly are full of dead men's bones.

Saudi Arabia needed to attack Iran if Saudi had sense of respect
Muslim loves Muslim brotherhood prevents them from saying bad stuff about each other or fighting one another.
If they are upset, they just roll their eyes. They look out for each other.. Sadam was a different animal tho

Let’s start the Iran war and watch closely on how many US air planes got shot down onto the open sea can’t wait to see this moment …….. wakakaka
It'll be around the same number that they shut down during the 12 day war.

Tbh, seems like Iran is placating Trump.
Trump didn't even say what he is going to do in his state of union speech. His saying that Iran hasn't pledged to making nukes and is making missiles to reach US was kinda lackluster. More like a guy complaining than an angry guy ready to pounce. No determination or war posture in his voice. It's like he has been worn down by his generals or something.

Anyone remembers the tone of Bush jr. Just before he attacked Iraq? Trump doesn't have that decided sound.

What is the deception this time?
Iran has the missiles, enriched uranium, one of their lawmakers said they have the missile to reach US and they have 900K of enriched Uranium. They have already said it is easy for them to build an A bomb.
So, detail the deception pls.

{quote} you're right maybe it wasn't begging but he did asked iran for cease fire (after arming israel a giving him green light) several times indirectly, i dont think he would've done that if things were going well for israel, he definitely didn't do it out of goodness of his heart!!!! anyway i really hope nothing happen because if this war broke out everyone will feel it from across the earth it will effect everything (directly or indirectly)
He asked both Iran and Israel to stop it and they did.
Unlike you I hope it happens. The only way to get rid of ISIS was to bomb the crap out of them. The only way to get rid of the Ayatollahs also is by bombing them. If he doesn't, he gets to live with a stronger, more weaponized fundamentalist that everyone will feel even more across the globe but will have to tolerate forever.

{quote} oh buddy...iran has always has been fighting ISIS in syria and iraq , i remember it like yesterday...trump himseeeelf said obama (US) created ISIS (go watch the video)...they've been saying al qaeda is responsible for 9/11 theu started invading Afghanistan for that , now the leader of them is president of syria and shakes hands with trump in the white house..... you're wroooong....
Iran bombed ISIS because they were even more of an Islamist terrorist gang than the Ayatollahs. ISIS didn't think the Ayatollahs were true followers of prophet Mohammed and wanted to show the world what he would have done if he was around. What would he have done? Demolish everything into tiny unrecognizable pieces, kill off anyone who didn't throw themselves at his feet and then build everything up in his liking from the money and resources of the country he had just conquerrd. True Muslims.

Trump talked with his arse when he said Obama created ISIS. Are you so naive to take him literally? He meant Obama allowed ISIS to become strong by not doing much about them.
Trump right now is in the same predicament. If he allows the mass murderer Ayatollahs to keep existing and becoming stronger, using his logic, he will have created the Ayatollahs. Let's see if Trump recreated the Mullas again by doing nothing.

During and between his terms as President of the United States, Donald Trump has made tens of thousands of false or misleading claims. Fact-checkers at The Washington Post documented 30,573 false or misleading claims during his first presidential term, an average of 21 per day. Commentators and fact-checkers have described Trump's lying as unprecedented in American politics, and the consistency of falsehoods as a distinctive part of his business and political identities. Scholarly analysis of Trump's tweets found significant evidence of an intent...
I think the statisticians have given up tracking his lies. Most of the tracking numbers are from his first term. It is assumed now that pretty much anything and all that he says is a lie.
