The US and Israel are currently planning to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities, an attack that could happen in a “few weeks’ time,” Daily Mail columnist Dan Hodges reported on Wednesday.
Hodges wrote the report while in Tel Aviv and cited Israeli political, diplomatic, and military sources. He said the purpose of the strike would be to “eradicate the threat” posed by Iran’s “nuclear weapons program,” although there’s no evidence Tehran has a nuclear weapons program, a fact recently confirmed by US intelligence agencies.
A senior Israeli diplomatic source told Hodges that Trump’s presidency offers the best time to hit Iran. “From Israel’s perspective, with Trump in the White House, this represents the optimum moment to deal with Iran. There won’t be a better chance,” the official said.
Trump recently threatened to bomb Iran if a nuclear deal isn’t reached, and he has reportedly given Tehran a two-month deadline, which would end at the end of May. Iran responded to Trump by rejecting direct talks in the face of increasing US pressure, but Tehran has offered to hold indirect negotiations.
Axios reported on Wednesday that the White House is seriously considering Iran’s offer for indirect talks but is building up US forces in the Middle East to prepare for an attack on the Islamic Republic.
US officials told Axios that there is an internal debate in the White House between those who want to engage with the Iranians and those who would rather bomb Iran right away. The report reads: “If Trump decides the time is up, he will have a loaded gun at the ready.”
Recent US deployments to the Middle East have included an additional aircraft carrier, additional air assets, and sending more B-2 bombers to the US base on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. According to Haaretz, the buildup is the largest offensive US deployment in the region since October 7, 2023.
The US buildup also comes amid a heavy US bombing campaign in Yemen, which Trump launched on March 15. The president has tied the airstrikes to Iran, saying each Houthi attack will be blamed on the Islamic Republic, even though US officials have acknowledged the Houthis act independently and have their own domestically-produced weapons supply.
A full-blown US-Israeli attack on Iran would likely provoke major Iranian missile attacks on US bases in the region, and things could escalate rapidly from there. In the face of US threats, a senior IRGC commander warned that the US has “10 bases in the region, particularly around Iran, and 50,000 troops based in there” and said the US is “sitting in a glass house.”
RIP MAGA
When all else fails, drag the country into war to detract dissidence and distract from an economic desolation.
Gerald Celente, "When all else fails, they take you to war".
Argentina tried that a long time ago with the Falkland island war. Did not work out too well.
Trump is determined to drag America in a great shit again.
Didn't even try to drum up some bullshit excuse. Flat out admit they don't have a nuke program and that they don't control what the Houthis do but still insist they must be "eradicated". I'm still waiting for the Trump that wasn't going to have to be beholden to Israel in his 2nd term. Anyone seen him?
That is what Trump does- threatens and bullies to get people to "negotiate."
Negotiating by Trump means the countries better do what he proposes or else "all hell will break lose". Putin did not like the ultimatum so now Trump is pissed at him.
Putin out smarted him, Not hard to do.
A baby could outsmart Trump!!
Putin knows his people, he knows, Trump is a conman.
Trump is a groomed actor, a great deceiver who can trick even the elect.
The trouble with that tactic is that some times people call his bluff. Than he must decide between looking weak or following up his threat. He did back down the last time he went up against Iran, so who knows what he will do in this case?
If Iran hadn't retaliated for killing their general and attacked bases in in the region unprovoked, you might have a point. As is, you don't.
I do have a point. It does not matter why Iran attack the USA it only matter that they did bomb an US airbase and trump did nothing about it. That showed he was unprepared and did not anticipate Iran hitting back. Will he do the same thing in this case? Bomb Iran, than do nothing when Iran hits back?
Of course it matters why. Just like when Iran retaliated against Israel. If there hadn't been a legitimate reason the response towards Iran would have been much different. No matter how much Trump bragged about killing that general, he knows Iran had every right to retaliate. And I'm pretty sure everyone is anticipating a response from Iran if the US/Israel attacks this time. It's going to get ugly quickly. There will be zero chance Trump won't respond when Iran hits back. He'll be ass deep and won't have any choice.
Trump is a warmonger just like Biden, he wants to sell more weapons, he likes profits. He has a big mouth where Biden was more discreet.
"Trump…has a big mouth where Biden was more discreet."
Trump 'indiscreetly' endorses Israel policy of 'voluntary' ethnic cleansing…
…where Biden said, 'Israel does not officially endorse ethnic cleansing, but – official or not – the US unconditionally supports anything Israel does.'
"After US Rebuke, Top Israeli Ministers Double Down on Ethnic Cleansing Push," commondreams 1/4/24
Israel had the last shot at Iran in both of the Iran attacks. The US let Iran have the last shot in killing of the general. In fist case, Israel sent a message. In last case, Iran sent a message to the US. See the difference?
As for what trump will do with Iran, no one knows.
Yes, and Israel's response was limited as compared to what it would have been if Iran hadn't been retaliating for what Israel did. If not, Iran would have retaliated again. The US killed a high level Iranian general. Iran HAD to retaliate. There was no message sent other than Iran confirming their sovereignty. Again, if the US had retaliated, Iran would have done the same.
The Iranians were very careful, and rational and restricted with their response.
They wanted to avoid any conflict, it is easy for Americans to fight on the soil and bomb other nations using proxies for cannonfodder.
Firing missiles at a US air base with a nut job for President is hardly a rational move. The gamble won this time, next time may not go so well.
It's a rational move if your general was murdered. What would the US had done if Iran had offed one of their generals on a diplomatic mission in Iraq?
No, but I wasn't waiting or looking. All I see is shameless clowns who have no clothes.
Is their whole body covered in clown makeup, or just their faces, or … ?
Asking for a friend.
They are clowns inside and outside, but more importantly –EVIL. 😂
I don't recall trump ever not giving Israel full support. He say so many things so he may have said that in the past he would not support Israel. Trump is acting exactly like he said he would. With trump America is getting what they voted for.
America is getting exactly what they would have gotten with Harris minus the theatrics.
I'm sorry when did Harris propose kicking the Palestinians out of Gaza? When did Harris suggest the she would start a trade war with our major (now former) allies? Did Harris plan to deport anyone who she could if they oppose what Israel is doing in Gaza? Would Harris have cut funding to schools that allow free speech in support of Palestinians?
If trump could he would kick you out of the country for your Anti Israel stand.
I was referring to things related to Israel. So, I'll say what I've said before about Harris. She didn't do a damn thing to stop the slaughter. Nothing. We wouldn't be to this point without Biden/Harris laying the groundwork. There is no reason to believe things would be any different.
That is all true, she stood for nothing and with hindsight what would she have done? She lacked real substance and the Democrats did nothing, what kind of people would she have chosen for her cabinet and her advisers?
The oligarchs in charge of the government, funding the elections, replaced one demented men with another one, and blank sheet of a woman. Not one of them had the competence and leadership qualities needed for the job, not one of them was fit for the job. The democratic candidate for VP was the most qualified for the presidency, in my opinion.
Can anyone imagine Rubio as president?
Third party.
She has no backbone and leadership qualities, and no third party exists, even Ralph Nader could not have a third party able to fight .
Something like 46% of registered voters didn’t vote. That number is almost as high as those who voted Democrat or Republican combined. If a couple of people stopped being slaves to the uniparty and voted third party it would have sent a message.
Harris was not “qualified”, except as another chosen puppet of the Clinton wing.
They Named Her Kamala: Clinton Staff, Donors Anoint 2020 Candidate
The California senator made her second tour through the Hamptons to meet the ‘influential’
After propping her up as the Democratic Party’s Trump resistance hero, the Democratic establishment, including Clinton donors and staffers, are lining up behind the idea of Sen. Kamala Harris running for president in 2020. Earlier this month, Harris met with several top Clinton donors in the Hamptons and attended a luncheon hosted for her by Liz Robbins, one of Hillary Clinton’s top lobbyist bundlers. This weekend, Harris returned to the Hamptons for more meet-and-greets with top Clinton donors. This time she met with Harvey Weinstein, Citigroup banker Ray Mcguire and former U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice. The continued meetings and lavish galas signal that Democratic elites are rallying behind Harris as she positions herself to run for president in 2020.

wars r u.s: "America is getting exactly what they would have gotten with Harris minus the theatrics."
Tim Burns: "when did Harris propose kicking the Palestinians out of Gaza?"
1/ From start, Israel has declared 'voluntary' ethnic cleansing the 'end plan' of its genocidal siege.
2/ From start, Biden pledged unconditional support.
3/ And the one time the US addressed Israeli cabinet calls for ethnic cleansing? It covered Israel by denying the calls were 'official' policy – later adding, 'Of course, Israel has the sovereign right to do anything it wants.'
4/ Upshot?
a/ Trump's 'plan' – though declared – is, in practice, no different than Biden's unconditional support.
b/ Trump's plan does not affect what Israel declared, and did, just as openly & freely, under Biden.

He never said it, he did not accidentally spill the beans, because there were no beans to spill.
He doesn't even remmber half the things he might have said a week or two ago.
… or the "Peace President"? … but then, we know that Maid Miriam (or is it Lady McMiriam) is the balls in the room … (to match their verbal contortions) but closer to the "honest truth".
Where did you get the idea Trump hasn’t been submissive to Israel his whole life? Maybe you thinking that there are good Christians and bad Christians caused you to think he could be “one of the good ones.”
And where did you get the idea that I said otherwise? Trump's supporters here said Trump wouldn't have to kiss Israel's ass any longer in his second term. So, I pointed that out and sarcastically asked if anyone seen him.
Well, he's already bombed as president, so I guess it's logical for him to bomb somewhere else.
His downfall can't come soon enough. He is irrational, there is no logic thought in him, that is the real tragedy the world faces. And he is in charge of the red button. Who would stop him from pressing the button? Around him all the people are nuts too.
Unfortunately for your argument, it is obvious to those invested in the issue that Trump would like to be rid of nukes. He has said as much, that shows he has the knowledge of exactly how destructive they are. Both he and Putin know it and know it in their bones.
Neither one wants to go down in history as "the one who" torched the planet.
They have much more to gain working together again to try to bring about world disarmament.
If we could ever get them off their insane idea that wars actually solve anything, first.
Meanwhile people, just keep working from your own positions, to bring about reconcilations and goodwill toward others, no matter what their ideological taint.
Well, Trump has said a lot of things, he is an oxymoron and is a top of the line conman able to obfuscate, enough to confuse himself. He is a megalomaniac.
Torching the planet would tend to render superfluous any history in which to go down.
binber, shall we give it another try?
This is probably a bargaining tactic on the part of Trump to force Iran into negotiations. If in fact he is not bluffing, you will soon start to see the US withdraw some or all of their troops from the bases surrounding Iran, knowing that there will be retaliation on the part of Iran.
I think you give Trump & team too much credit. Look at the dialogue in the leaked Signal conversation and they all sound like 12-year olds. Trump's style is bluster, bluff, and low cunning. And his success in America has depended heavily on having lawyers who find loopholes for him in the legal system.
His idea of bargaining seems to be on the level of shouting and hitting his shoe against the tabletop. It's more bullying than bargaining.
None of that will work against Iran, any more than it does against Russia or China. Trump is also overconfident and does not know how to back down, and that may lead to his downfall. We may find out as his tariff madness unrolls across the world economy.
"This is probably a bargaining tactic on the part of Trump to force Iran into negotiations." And if the Iranians don't bite, then what?
Trump is obviously trying to provoke Iran into testing a nuke and attacking Israel first, before that deadline is reached.
Iran would need to build a large number of nukes first before testing one. If they just build one and then tested it, that would invite the USA/Israel to attack.
D. Trump has just launched an imperialist-type trade war against more than 200 countries. And now, he wants to attack and bomb Iran along side of Israel.
He is more than unhinged. He is a psychopath and a loose cannon who would not mind destroying the world.
People in Congress should move before Trump sets the world on fire.
I won't give you a graphic description of the actual nature of the movements executed by the esteemed members of our congressional delegations.
I agree. Not sure they wouldn't win most shameless or disgusting politicians when compared to Trump.
Absolutely right, things do seem to be building to a tragic (not the familiar melodramatic) climax, … and I'm getting scared.
"People in Congress should move before Trump sets the world on fire."
Yeah, don't worry, they'll move – to New Zealand, or to Argentina with Netanyahu's crew after his government ends.
Don't people in Congress want to set the world on fire?
Better phrased "Israel to Use US to Bomb Iran."
with the addition of; paid for by the unwilling american taxpayer who has no say within a [democracy]…
The Israelis are good students, they do as the teacher taught them, use the USA as a proxy to fight Iran
What teacher taught them that?
The USA is their teacher.

What is a war criminal? Was not war itself a crime against God and humanity, and, therefore, were not all those who sanctioned, engineered, and conducted wars, war criminals? War criminals are not confined to the Axis Powers alone. Roosevelt and Churchill are no less war criminals than Hitler and Mussolini. England, America and Russia have all of them got their hands dyed more or less red – not merely Germany and Japan.

Yes. That song tells you exactly how much the US is dedicated to war.
Yes, the democrats want the war in the Ukraine against Russia to go on and on and the Republicans want war with Iran and war against the Palestinians.
And we are supposed to be the "leaders of the world"?
The RetardiQAns which Trump claims and pretends to be part of, also want war in Ukraine to be continued…!

No mention of congress.

He signs EOs, what more do you want, he is Trump/Musk and in charge.
They're doing exactly the opposite of preventing Iran to build nuclear bombs…! Idiots…!
All this while Israel holds the world hostage with ITS nukes!
How do you figure?
They are being threatened by two nuclear powers they would be crazy if they did not react, they make sure if they go down they will take Israel and the USA down with them.
That is common sense logic.
For the US and Israel, there is nothing to win but radioactive rubble.
So "God" saved Trump's life in Butler PA on July 13, 2024? Is this how you repay God? By threatening the lives of MILLIONS of innocent people and letting a war criminal Nutty Yahoo get away with wanton slaughter in Gaza? Hmmm . . . next time maybe "God" won't make Trump turn his head?
I am not so sure about this "god saved Trump in Butler". Neither the Dems nor the GOP including Trump want to talk too much about this at all. And that is quite fishy.
The verdict is far from in on this.
The idiots in DC are out of control, they are dancing on the tables while the building is burning.
Unfortunately that is the sad state of affairs. The Democrats are still supporting and wanting more war with Russia via the Ukraine and the Republicans are ready to turn the entire Middle East into an ash heap thinking they can come out victorious.
The bloodlust has not only infected all of Israel but most of the USA as well.

"From Israel’s perspective, with Trump in the White House, this represents the optimum moment to deal with Iran…"
The ASI government fails to recognize that Trump will be President for the rest of his life, and his chosen successor will likely carry forward Emperor Don's fawning obedience to Tel Aviv. That's probably 15 years yet of "opportunity" to attack the IRI.
As a side note :
"Report: Trump Is Preparing To Bomb Iran With Israel"
If Israel's to be dropped on anyone, I'd rather it be Flyover State America, OR Point Nemo (approximately 48°52.6′S 123°23.6′W in the South Pacific Ocean).
DC would be better than Flyover.
The rest of his life could be short, he will be 79 years old. And the next time could be real. It happened before to a young and potential great president.
At least Flyover gets its tax dollars back.
That is true too.
What a dumb idea. If the USA wants to knock out Iran's nuclear ability it will take more than a few airstrikes to accomplish. It will take a war. A war that trump is not prepared and/or smart enough to conduct. Pissing off the EU with tariffs is not going to get any help from the EU countries which will be needed for a long campaign.
Again, it doesn't matter how prepared or smart Trump is or how much help he gets. It's a dumb idea PERIOD. You talk as if this is Iraq circa 1991 or 2003. It isn't.
As dumb as the idea is, it is possible that it will not take long and the global economy will blow up or bloody riots will end the Trump US insane asylum. It feels that below the surface the Western democracies are simmering and could boil over, no telling where the spark could come from to make it all blow up.
EU members are NATO members. Biden blew up the German/Russian LG pipeline destroying the German and EU economy, so much for an alliance with the devious Americans. It is more than dumb.
That was an act of war, in and of itself!
The US has been neoconned!…
zionized and neoconned.
The Insane Evil Clown is destroying the economy and wants to finish the job by nuking out the world.
That is all he and the Insane Evil Clowns in Tel Aviv and Washington know, bombing, and sanctions, and tariffs is all they know.
Who put all these deranged people in power? How deranged are the people who fund them? Musk is obviously as deranged as Trump and Netanyahu and his cabal.
One should not throw stones at glass houses….
They think their glass houses are two inch thick and holds… not knowing that they eventually crack and more stones would collapse them… Like stainless steel, put it under rain for 30 days and it rusts…!
An attack on US bases will be used as an excuse for a ground war. Their deaths are just (un)fortunate collateral for the warmongers who as usual could care less about the "grunts".
While Israel continues its genocide campaign in Gaza and the West Bank. This along with tRump deliberately starting a trade and tariff war to destabilize the world economy. In order to make it more difficult to go against US/Israeli interests. NUTS
… And that’s when BRICS+ come to play…!
Trump breaks and wrecks what he touches, he builds nothing.
He is a bully robbing and beating others smaller than he is and the biggest crybaby because the people he robbed and beat up kick him and punch him in the nose, poor guy, his nose is bleeding. What a POS he is.
"The US and Israel are currently planning to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities, an attack that could happen in a “few weeks’ time."
Hey, perfect – it can coincide with Passover. Only this time, instead of the Israelites' war god only killing the firstborn children, the modern IsrUSAeli war machine can kill way MORE than just one child or family member per family.

They wanted time to prepare the ground for regime change in Syria. They had to keep the Gaza war going to accomplish this. There is also solid evidence that the continuation of the war in Gaza for those eight months cost Kamala Harris the election. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d7c1b7377ac7bcda58e45d96601457801b5a271670c54c2ecd8b0da647203508.png

They also needed to keep Syria's staunch ally Russia preoccupied with a full scale war with Ukraine.
Russia was Assad’s ally. Whether it will ally itself with the new regime in Syria is a different matter.
Putin made it clear he wouldn’t go along with regime change in Syria. That was when Putin suddenly became “Hitler” and we started to drum up trouble for him in Ukraine.
Don't go by what Trump says, go by what he actually does. In his first term 2016-2020 he didn't get us involved in any foreign wars.
He got us re-involved in Somalia, and escalated all the wars he inherited.
And he’ll likely do at least that much this time.
The World was a much more peaceful place 2016-2020 than it was under Biden’s democrats 2021-2024. Facts are facts.
Maybe it was.
But if so Trump had nothing to do with it being that way.
When all else fails, it's back to comparing him to Biden.
Tell that to the families of all those killed in Syria by cruise missile attacks and to those in Afghanistan when Trump had the MOAB (mother of all bombs) dropped on them. Tell that to the hundreds of US servicemen and women who were badly injured at Al Assad airbase in Iraq, following the assasination of General Suleymani by Trump.
You mean like bombing Afghanistan more in 2018 than Obama did in any single year of his presidency? Or bombing Somalia more than Obama and Bush combined? Escalating in Syria? Vetoing a bill that would have ended our involvement in Yemen? Lessening the rules of engagement for our airstrikes and drones to make killing easier EVERYWHERE? Creating the Space Force? His undying loyalty to Israel which included the bullshit Abraham Accords? Do you want me to go on?
Trump is NOW fully involved, Bidens war is NOW his!!
Are they crazy? We can't even afford the lasttwo wars we fought.
Oh well, if we want money we can just print more, right?
Incroyable'
"Are they crazy?"
You need to ask that question after the last few decades of insanity?

Report: Trump Is Preparing To Bomb Iran FOR Israel.
USA taxpayer Fuxed again.
All to satisfy their ego, US and Israel…! Nothing would be eradicated…!
Trump recently threatened to bomb Iran if a nuclear deal isn’t reached, and he has reportedly given Tehran a two-month deadline, which would end at the end of May.
The US Federal Express Deal Making… like the one for Ukraine in 24 hours…? The last Iran deal took Two (2) years…!
The benefit to risk ratio of this joint operation would be catastrophically negative… And it would take at least a dozen air strikes not just one hit and run as there are more than one facility…!
Even then, the underground facilities would be up and running that could produce nukes after such strikes…!
