Israel attacked Iran’s capital early Friday. Explosions are booming across Tehran. Israel says it’s targeting nuclear and military sites. They also say they killed the entire Iranian general staff and nuclear scientists.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the attack, dubbed Rising Lion, in a statement Thursday evening.
It has been confirmed by Secretary Hegseth. Sec. Rubio said the US is not involved.
Statement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio on tonight’s Israeli attacks on Tehran:
“Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region. Israel advised us that they…

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed Jerusalem had launched what it called a “pre-emptive” strike, ABC News reported.
“We target Iran’s leading nuclear scientists working on the Iranian bomb,” Katz said. “We also struck the hear of Iran’s ballistic missile program; we target Iran’s main enrichment facility in Natanz.”
He concluded: “Our fight is not with the people of Iran, our fight is with Iran’s dictatorship.”
Israel launched a strike on Iranian territory on Thursday, just hours after President Donald Trump warned that such a move would likely derail diplomatic talks with Tehran on denuclearization.
The president has convened an emergency Cabinet meeting in response to the developments, according to CNN. Two U.S. officials told Reuters that the United States provided no assistance to Israel in the attack and was completely uninvolved.

Iran is the enemy but this is not our fight
They chant “death to America” all the time but two things can be true at once. This is not our fight
If you’re screaming for Trump to send our troops to die in an Israel-Iran war, grab a gun and go fight it yourself!

Warmonger Lindsey Graham praised this attack.
JUST IN: Senator Lindsey Graham praises Israel’s airstrikes on Iran, says “Game on, Pray for Israel.”

Israel did what they had to do after years of attacks by Iran. Hmas and Hezzbollah are simply Iranian frien, alies, and fellow soldiers te4sting world reactions as they increase the viciousness of thier attacks. It was time to opunch the bully in the nose. If their intelligence assessment is correct, sounds like ty cut off most of the snake’s head.
Please understand that Iran would already be attacking the USA diectly if we were physically closer to them. They really mean “Death to America.” The number of th eir agents already working among us must give Tulsi Kristi,, and Kash, not to mention Trumps constat nightmares.
Fellow Americans, pull your heads out of the sand and look at the real world. It is frightening!
We may have the beginning of WWIII and we are talking about a stupid judge’s ruling?
Leftists have opened their own WWIII front on the streets of Los Angeles and are actively spreading it to every city in America. Many of their ‘soldiers’ are foreigners and hate America just as much as the leaders of Iran or China. Democrats brought them here to make war on the American people.
3) This is really bad. There is no way this Clinton judge wrote his 36 page opinion this quickly. Meaning THIS WAS ALL A SHAM court case. The majority of it was written before oral argument today.
But it doesn’t do much of anything because Trump already sent the marines to LA which the judge didn’t say anything about. Trump will appeal and he can just send in more military.
What are the chances Newsom would get former Justice Breyer’s brother?
2) Also the Clinton judge defined rebellion in a way that would mean that Trump definitely wasn’t guilty of insurrection on January 6, 2021.
1) Clinton judge ruling against DJT federalizing NG is very intesting. Firstly, the Clinton judge defied Supreme Court precedent on whether or not a judge could decide if there is a rebellion in America, and claimed that Trump didn’t quite follow the technical procedure for federalizing the national guard.
