Update: We are still awaiting the Ayatollah’s “surprise” and Donald Trump’s decision. We have last night’s battles on this link.
President Trump will deliver an announcement on Iran shortly. It is terrifying to think the US is racing into another war.
Iran just promised a surprise according to Iranian state TV: “There is a surprise tonight that the world will remember for centuries.”
Insider Paper:
BREAKING: Commanders put American troops on high alert at military bases throughout the region, including in the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The United States has more than 40,000 troops deployed in the Middle East – NYT
BREAKING Iran has prepared missiles and other military equipment for strikes on U.S. bases in the Middle East should the United States join Israel’s war against the country, according to American officials who have reviewed intelligence reports, per NYT.
We are financially safer if we stay out of war. If we move into war, the Trump momentum will be gone.
We will know soon.
President Trump will be the “singular guiding hand” in what happens from now on in the Middle East. I’m not all in on that, are you? That’s what got us into trouble in Ukraine.

If it is about Iran getting a nuclear weapon, we can’t have that – true.
The DNI Assessment
In March, Tulsi Gabbard said the intelligence Community assessed that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon. However, only part of what she said was broadcast.
From March 26 House Intelligence Committee, DNI Tulsi Gabbard: “The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme leader Khomeini has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003.”

DNI Gabbard said she and Trump are “on the same page” when it comes to Iran nuclear timeline.
“President Trump was saying the same thing that I said in my annual threat assessment back in March. Unfortunately, too many people in the media don’t care to actually read what I said.”

The additional context:
Reportedly, Tulsi Gabbard was not invited to the key meeting at Camp David a week ago to discuss this war. They were discussing “an impending Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear program and ballistic missile launchers.” It seems like an important enough topic to invite the Director of National Intelligence.
However, she said it was a scheduling issue.
From National Review:
Gabbard was not invited to the Camp David retreat. That meeting was on June 8; on June 10, Gabbard released on social media a video declaring, “We stand here today closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before.”
As Audrey Fahlberg reported earlier today, Trump told reporters he doesn’t “care” what Director of National Intelligence Gabbard has previously testified regarding Iran’s nuclear capabilities, telling reporters aboard Air Force One that Tehran was “very close” to getting a nuclear weapon.
However, it seems Iran is striking targets in broad daylight despite Israel, including a Mossad headquarters, while saying they own the airspace. All I can say is we don’t know what is really going on.
Earlier today, as part of his efforts to push Iran, he told the Supreme Leader he knows where he is hiding. He also suggested the US could enter the war, at least long enough to drop a MOAB on Fordo.
Rep. Massie has a resolution to stop the war.
I just introduced an Iran War Powers Resolution with @RepRoKhanna to prohibit U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran war.
This is not our war. Even if it were, Congress must decide such matters according to our Constitution. pic.twitter.com/LuIl59lt45

Leftist clown Rino media. Stop whining and leave, we the people have had enough of your lies hate and false narratives. Iran needs to be taught a very hard lesson and we all know their threats are weak but real and they would nuclear bomb the USA and Israel if we let them.
If you read between the lines, sounds like a threat to use an emp weapon.
Under the Constitution, only the congress has the ability, the authority to declare war. The problem is that congress long ago abdicated its responsibility in order to remain “blameless” in the eyes of the public. They allowed Truman to declare a “police action” in Korea, Johnson to surge troops into Vietnam, Bush to stop “weapons of mass destruction” and so on. I am all in for Trump but even more for the Constitution and our republic. Congress needs to pull up their big boy panties and start acting like adults and not government job seekers trying to stay employed.
I see no meaningful update here at all and I remain unsurprised.
Iran on a different time zone? It is the morning of June 18th – what happened to the surprise?
OK, so no “big surprise”, but what’s a “lid”?
A “lid” is what we used to buy in the 70s, usually 4 fingers of just so so weed in a baggy.
No one is buying your doom and gloom opinion on Trump and war with Iran. We trust Trump. If it’s war then it’s war. We will support Trump even if he decides to NUKE Iran.
Night has passed and the sun is rising on Iran, so where’s the Incredible Historic Event they promised? Don’t disappoint us, you blowhards.
sorry for you dowling, you are a full of crap democrat who hates everything of G-d.
Follow Tousi…TV
He has great coverage of what’s happening on the ground.
His father is in Tehran.
Trump is not getting us into the Israel/Iran war … He’s ending the war by finishing it.
Tired of hearing about it my whole long life. Can we just finally be done with Iranians? Let it rain.
Iran is going to announce Ilhan Omar as their new leader
LOL
And under whose authority do you claim the right to call for the death of millions of innocent people? You are far more dangerous that Iran will ever be, and a much bigger threat to Americans is people like you.
Iran’s most important nuclear weapon production effort was in North Korea. The world is one cargo flight from North Korea away from disaster.
According to the Bible, Israel will lose.
No, Israel does not lose “according to the Bible”.
The anti-christ will rise to power and make a peace agreement with Israel, and after a short period of time, he breaks that agreement. The Jewish people will indeed be on the run once he does that, but Jesus Christ will return to the earth before they are destroyed.
If it is about Iran getting a nuclear weapon, we can’t have that – true. And we’ve been being told this line of sh!t by Israel for 40 years now. This war has nothing to do with that and never has. We have been lied to since WWII.
You’ve been lied to for far longer than that. If you look, you will not even be able to find any supporting evidence that there ever was a “constitutional convention”, and you will definitely find it was ratified at gunpoint and the people were mostly against it. Or you can keep believing the lies.
Their ambitions are non negotiable, they’ve tried for decades and been thwarted by keeping them at bay every time they make a little progress. Your argument is immensely juvenile. You propose ignore all of their terrorism and pointed declaration to kill everyone. You want to let them have a free path to everything they want – until the unthinkable happens and you’ll take no responsibility or admit you were stupid. Not happening anymore.
The Panthers win the Stanley Cup?????
The mullahs have never been accused of having good judgement. Their veiled threat could mean anything or nothing… If they had 2 brain cells to rub together they would have dropped the nuke program and the “death to…” chants a long time ago.
Trump would never mislead us. Just think ‘safe and effective’… say no more.
What… tonight Iran will use real fireworks over Israel instead of bottle rockets?
The fireworks are Israels. They call it the iron dome… lolololololol
Well…I’m off the Trump Train if he gives the Deepstate their next war. I would think they’d concentrate on the war they started with Russia.
You were never on the “Trump Train”
“War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it.”
George Orwell
“There is a surprise tonight that the world will remember for centuries.” HHHMMM maybe Iran does have nuke???
They almost certainly do.
Well, if they do and they use it, They can kiss their a– goodbye. Yemen will fall with them because they will no longer exist. Dust thou art, to dust you will return. Israel ought to work on taking out old towel head. We could use instructions of how to do it concerning George Soros. World would be a much better place with these 2 gone.
You sound like a total fool.
Please leave the severely brainwashed alone. They can’t help that they can’t think.
It’s not impossible that Iran purchased a small-yield tactical nuke somewhere. They would want it to be fairly small so that a cloud of dirty radiation doesn’t affect Iran. They consider Jerusalem to be their “Holy City”, so a more likely target would be Israel’s capitol Tel Aviv. If Muslims begin moving out of Tel Aviv tonight, it could be a significant sign. Or maybe Muslims have already fled to escape Iran’s aerial attacks on Tel Aviv.
Nukes have signatures and the seller would know that selling one to Iran will get them nuked as well as Iran.
Maybe they will take a Bath.
Unlikely
🙂
No. It’s just Baghdad Bob’s brother talking.
Not get involved? They drop our bombs. They use our iron dome system to protect themselves. Oh we’re involved. Same in Ukraine. Those are our weapons shooting at the Russians. Our hands are not clean.
“War is a racket. It always has been… A few profit – and the many pay. But there is a way to stop it. You can’t end it by disarmament conferences. You can’t eliminate it by peace parleys at Geneva. Well-meaning but impractical groups can’t wipe it out by resolutions. It can be smashed effectively only by taking the profit out of war.”
Lt. Gen. Smedley Butler
Another way is for the people to stop fighting in them.
Minor detail – Israel developed the Iron Dome, with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries. We were looking at buying some Iron Dome Batteries ourselves to compliment our Patriot and other Surface to Air defense systems.
Sadly, it was proven on October 7th a couple of years back to be nothing but fireworks.
What does October 7th have to do with the Iron Dome?
No such thing happened. Don’t be a dope.
I stand for America First.
Nothing there threatens us in any way.
Not our problem. Israel struck first. Let them
fight their war that they started. Enough of
the USA fighting any war that isn’t an imminent
direct attack on our homeland..
Washington warned us centuries ago about “foreign entanglements.”
Israel ‘started’ this conflict with our approval and weapons. Don’t tell Iran that.
Hogwash. Israel is responding to the constant attacks on it from the Iranian proxies.
Every day the Iranian regime threatens the USA with destruction. Hundreds of Americans were killed an maimed by Iran.
US hands have NEVER been clean. It was started in a fraud that has only grown.
Sam Oconel is a fraud.
Name one country that is free. if you say America, you have been brainwashed beyond repair.
Did you freely type that? Or were you forced to type that hogwash statement?
