The United States together with the State of Israel have begun major military combat operations against Iran. Early reports indicate several top Iranian military leaders have been killed. President Trump made the announcement moments ago (video below):
According to the Associated Press (AP) “The U.S. strikes took place from both air and sea, according to a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing military operations.”
Associated Press – Live Reports:
The United States and Israel launched an attack Saturday on Iran, with the first apparent strike happening near the offices of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iranian media reported strikes nationwide, and smoke could be seen rising from the capital.
President Donald Trump said in a video posted on social media that the U.S. had begun “major combat operations in Iran.” He claimed Iran has continued to develop its nuclear program and plans to develop missiles to reach U.S. (Live Reports)
Israeli media claims Amir Hatami, Commander-in-chief of the Iranian Army, has been killed.

BREAKING FROM INSIDE ISRAEL: I’ve just been told by a very reliable source. The Judicial Head in Iran has been eliminated. So has the Minister of Defense. They are calling this a decapitation mission to allow the people of Iran to rise up.

They anti-Israel types are out on force this morning. What their position boils down to is that any action that helps Israel makes you a cuck, even if it benefits other nations, too. By that logic, the Saudis, who support this action, are also controlled by Israel.
There are people here who would rather see Netanyahu dead than the Ayatollah. Regardless if your personal opinions on Netanyahu (you don’t have to like him), it is quite telling.
Happy Saturday! Who are we bombing this morning?! lol
When you’re done making straw man arguments, you might reflect on the fact that the same people demanding regime change in Iran are demanding regime change in Russia.
And that everyone who demanded we bomb Iran last summer lied when they said the USA wasn’t going to launch a regime change war in Iran.
Now, nobody here was actually stupid enough to believe that. But lie to us anyway, they did.
Your second paragraph is strawman kettle meeting strawman pot.
Yeap that is a pretty obvious faux pas. Another strawman that is popular this morning is that anyone supporting the president and the troops is now a full bore RINO neo con.
“Da Jooos!”
What a tiresome bunch of clowns you are.
Yep, it does tend to go back to “da Jooos” among a part of the cohort here. Nevermind the Israelis being in this fight and risking their own soldiers and equipment together with us. But I’m sure it is just another war for Israel for those clowns.
If this war is done correctly, unlike the Bush regime change wars, this will change the world for the better. It will weaken our adversaries abroad, thereby making us stronger. It may even be a positive change with regards to Russia. It is rather sad that a large segment of conservatives have taken a position of no war except in very limited circumstances. It seems to be driven in large part by Tucker Carlson and his allies. Unfortunately of late, Tucker has become a grifter and a liar, and we should be better at marginalizing the bad within our midst.
Tucker is an idiot and a big disappointment.
The only people demanding regime change are the iranian people. And now they have the opportunity. Open your eyes (and ears).
And now Saudi Arabia joined the fight on the side of the US and Israel. When in the history of humanity on this planet has this ever happened? But leave it to people like you to spin a positive into something bad.
Thank You!
Agreed. Trump has done nothing about the corruption in the FBI, our intelligence agencies, and election systems. But he will make Greater Israel happen! This is what I voted for!
The corruption in the FBI and all things swampy have global tentacles.
Don’t forget the pallets of cash Obama sent to Iran.
Don’t forget that Chinese communists fund disruption in Manny languages.
Solving the Iran problem solves many domestic problems that we aren’t aware are connected.
The gordian knot is impossible to untangle unless you go after it with a sword!
I accept that weak attempt at an insult.
I know it’s important for you not to keep track of this, but: in the past 13 months:
– We are still at war in Ukraine
– We have military operations in East Africa
– We are in the early phases of a ground war in Mexico
– We bombed Iran earlier this year, and I correctly told EVERYONE on this page that we’d be back in 6-9 months for a regime change war
– The US military is still planning for war with China in 2027. They talk about it all the time, “2027 is coming”
– Venezuela / Caribbean military operations
– War with the Houthis
In 13 months.
And since people like me accurately predicted we’d be back in Iran in under a year, you might consider this:
Every one of these effing wars results in inviting 500,000+ “refugees” to live in the USA.
– Somalia
– Afghanistan/Iraq
– Ukraine
Etc
It is apparently cheaper to invite them to live here and destroy our culture or something.
The big target is still waiting for our bombs: Russia.
Hokkoda, your Never Trumper T-shirt is showing under your hoodie. You are mixing metaphors. BIDEN is the one who invited untold millions into our country. Illegally.
Don’t know about the Never Trumper T-shirt, but I 2nd the comment on Biden.
Hokkoda has a close relative on active duty, he responded this way last July during Operation Midnight Hammer.
You’d think being wrong once would have him reevaluate his position.
It seems that Hokkoda has the same mental acuity and love for America as Biden and his dismal band of O’Bidenites.

Iran was plotting to assassinate President Trump, IRGC-linked operatives caught red-handed trying to hire hitmen, even demo’d it with a vape pen on a napkin. Now bombs are dropping mid-Ramadan on their terror HQ. Ramadan Mubarak, jihadis! You tried to kill our President; he’s finishing what you started. Freedom > your ‘holy’ war. Masks off.

lol, I do so love the reverse justifications…
We just spent billions of dollars and launched yet another Middle East regime change war because Iran threatened to do something they’ve been threatening for 50 years?
lol. The Permanent War Party thanks you for your loyalty.
History informs me that war (small, medium, and large) has been a steady fixture on the world scene since the dawn of time.
In both WWI and WWII, if America had not gotten involved, the Germans would likely run Western Europe and possibly England.
How about the American Civil War, or the Revolutionary War….I could go on and on and on.
War in all of its shapes, sizes, forms, and durations is horrible, but it’s also part of the human experience.
Germans running Western Europe and England? Given the current state over there that would have been a better outcome don’t you think? Americans have been lied to regarding history but the truth has always been there.
Both sides were exhausted in WW1 and would have had an equitable settlement when the US interfered.
The US joined a war when the Germans were losing in WW2. The UShelped the British save Western Europe from the Soviets.
This has been a very long road to freedom for the Iranians. They were overjoyed by the toppling of the Shah, but before too long, the Shah was replaced by the mass murdering Shiite ayatollahs. This government was even more repressive than the prior one. The Iranians have been suffering for the last 47 years under the yoke of these ayatollahs. They, the people, are thrilled at the prospect of peace. Videos are available showing the people cheering for the demise of Ali Khamenei’s government.
There will always be a group to cheer on the death of any leadership they have.
This seems to be a well orchestrated attack by PDJT. Like everything else he’s done on the world, first he announces the peaceful way to coexist, and when that doesn’t work he lowers the hammer
Trump hammer
Iran nail
Nail head dead.
Hearing rumours that Marco Rubio is strongly against killing the Ayatollah.
Apparently Marco Rubio is tapped out. He doesn’t want to have a new job as the spiritual leader of the world’s Shia Muslim religion! /sarc
Yes, key word rumors

The Bible presents a complex view of war, often portraying it as a tool for justice or divine judgment while also setting limitations. It authorizes leaders (governing authorities) to “bear the sword” to punish evil, protect the innocent, and maintain order (Romans 13:1-4, 1 Pet. 2:13–14). While God directly commanded wars in the Old Testament, the Bible also emphasizes peace, restricting indiscriminate destruction (Deut. 20) and highlighting that some wars are necessary to prevent greater evil.

Divine Authority: The Bible asserts that governing authorities are established by God to restrain evil and protect the innocent, which justifies the use of force to defend citizens.
Just War Concepts: Biblical examples suggest that war is often considered “just” when declared by a government to protect against an aggressor, rather than for personal gain or tyranny.
Old Testament vs. New Testament: The Old Testament records God commanding Israel to wage war for punishment or territorial conquest (e.g., 1 Chronicles 14:10-11). The New Testament, while focusing on peace, does not condemn military participation and portrays Christ in Revelation as conducting a righteous, final war.
Restrictions on War: Even when authorized, war is not unlimited. Deuteronomy 20:10-12 prescribes offering terms of peace first, and 20:19-20 prohibits wanton destruction, such as destroying fruit trees.
Role of Leaders: Leaders are held accountable for how they use the “sword” and are expected to act against tyranny.

Ultimately, the Bible suggests that war is a terrible reality in a fallen world, sometimes permitted or directed to uphold justice, but never to be pursued with irrational aggression.
Deuteronomy 20:10-12 prescribes offering terms of peace first, and 20:19-20 prohibits wanton destruction, such as destroying fruit trees.
I have never heard this before. I had no idea. I always figured that if someone was doing wrong they would already know it and should expect any and all retribution that might come on them.
In fact, the Catholic church allows tyrannicide.
Wiki says the Vatican was neutral in WWII, but this is wrong. Pope Pius, at the beginning of the war spoke very publicly and critically of Hitler, the NAZIs and SS.
And every time he did, the SS would march several hundred Polish priests into the street and put a bullet in their brains.
The Bishops very quickly asked the Pontiff if he wouldn’t mind keeping his Holy Trap shut.
That began the attempt to justify and facilitate an assassination attempt against Hitler. It was a long, official process, allowing the assassination of a tyrant, but Hitler ticked all the boxes.
The only problem I have with the President’s speech is his promise of amnesty for IRGC/military/police who lay down their arms. The people of Iran may have other ideas.
The people will exact justice.
There’s nothing Trump can do to stop that.
How does one UNflag a comment? Stray finger on tiny phone keyboard made an error.
No worries. It takes more than one for Ad rem to take action.
It takes 10 to 15 flags to have the post actually flagged.
Does the USA really have to be so hegemonic? I didn’t feel an existential threat from Iran, did you?
Why yes. They are close to having nuclear tipped ballistic missiles, nuclear suitcases, etc., a state sponsor of terrorism, are ruled by an Shia Twelve-Pillar Islamic theocracy that advocates for the forcible subjugation of the entire world when deception fails, all while screaming “Death to America!” as publicly as they possibly can since February 11, 1979. Perhaps if you disappeared in a mushroom cloud the threat would become more real to you? Fortunately, that’s not going to happen now as saner and more attentive minds are ensuring that it doesn’t. And thank God for that!
