US/Israel and Iran- (3 Viewers)

[efil4]

Thought we should start thread here - over weekend, US carried out strikes against Houthi elements in Yemen in retaliation for their actions in Red Sea.



Houthi leader issued this statement- no US ships in Red Sea


Houthis then attempted to strike US Carrier group

This morning Trump took to Truth Social:



So any missile/shot fired from Houthi elements in Yemen will be considered coming from Iran. Obviously this is wrought with problems, but we know Houthis will respond and continue attacks.

So then what does this mean for Iran? Lots to unpack, but seems to me that the NO WAR POTUS is hell bent on getting into yet ANOTHER conflict in the ME. He is backing himself into a corner with statements and we could find ourselves embroiled in ME conflict again.

Unverified report that there is a ground assault operation underway at Fordow Nuclear facility in Iran

If true, I wonder how the Israeli's got their soldiers there. My guess would be paratroopers.

If Iran is smart then I would bet they had military personnel around the area.

One wonders if Bibi is going to run into the Peter Principle.

Nothing since then so probably just false report.

We've launched attacks.

We're in this shirt. fork.

 

[superchuck500]

Attack was on Fordo - which means we used the B2s and the MOP.

The thinking is the B2s to Guam was a diversion.

 

[superchuck500]

And of course he misspelled

He may well just suspend the Constitution and get this shirt over with since no one is going to hold this Government accountable to it.

I just hope this will be the extent of our involvement. I think Trump saw Israel operate over Iran with no issues with ADA, he figured to jump in to score some points at home with surgical strike. Of course they will be bigly successful, regardless of what bda suggests

We’re so cooked

Yeah I think there’s good reason to think that a single strike that includes effective destruction of Fordo was all that was on the table

I just hope this will be the extent of our involvement.

Aw man you changed it lol

 

[Eeyore]

Cue the terrorist attack that drags us further down

Doesn't really matter because this attack on Iran is a huge stretch of the 2001 AUMF that has become a routine use to circumvent Congressional authorization for military strikes since its inception.

Agreed. Especially with relatively no immediate national security issue.

This was Trump piggybacking off Israel.
