US/Israel and Iran- (5 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.

You mean it's not already five dollars where you are? It's been around five dollars here for six months.

I seem to recall a couple of times during his last term Trump sent a flock of tomahawk missiles for a flash whiz bang in the news.

I especially recall he sent fifty nine of them to Syria, and oh hell, he might have done a few hundred thousand dollars of damage.

Bad damage.

Not 6 months into his administration and further into the abyss we sink.

This completely undermines the EU's ongoing diplomacy efforts with Iran.

The answer is truly blowing in the wind…will enough realize where we are as a Country now?

Well, considering we are now in danger of being sanction by the UN for violating UN Charters, I guess we are now a Rogue Nation led by a lawless Government.

And you wonder where he gets his ideas from? Ignoring international laws and norms, isolationism masked as nationalism, everyone else is wrong, I'm right etc etc.

Putin.

I'm sure that the fake terrorist attack will be on a blue city. If you're not in one, you should be temporarily safe except for everything shutting down after.
