Middle East

Reporter: Iran accused the US of hitting desalination plants and they said that might open the door to other strikes on non-military infrastructure

Trump: It would allow us to also open the door to other strikes against them.

Reporter: Can you respond to that allegation? Did the US hit these—

Trump: They are among the most evil people ever on earth. They cut babies heads off. They chop women in half.

Q: "Did the U.S. bomb a girls' elementary school…and kill 175 people?"

Trump: "No. In my opinion, based on what I've seen, that was done by Iran."

Q: "Is that true, Mr. Hegseth? It was Iran that did that?"

Hegseth: "We're investigating it."

Trump: "It was done by Iran."

There is zero honesty from that man. And, if you have no personal ethics it is smart. Because a significant percentage of our population will now be absolutely convinced that Iran did it.

I really do not understand the end game. Do they really think people are going to rise up against the government while being bombed? Did they think we coudl bomb away all the scret police?

I also never knew Tehran had 17 million people. Significantly larger than the Dallas and Houston metros combined.



The U.S.-Israeli air war on Iran is leaving a trail of destruction across the capital of Tehran, spreading a sense of dread and paranoia across a 1,000-year-old city that has seen war before but never anything like this.

Residents described a tense, surreal atmosphere across the metropolis of 17 million people.
Missiles regularly streak across the sky. Explosions have become part of everyday life, rocking their homes.

Tehranis have taken to gathering on the rooftops of high-rise apartment buildings to watch airstrikes through the night, sharing food and drinks and filming explosions that light up the night sky.

“It’s like an absurd picnic,” one woman in Tehran said. “People sit, eat snacks and ask each other where the missile hit.”

There was a feeling of exhilaration when the bombing began as people who hated the Islamic regime began to believe it could finally be toppled. But those emotions are now mixed with a sense of anxiety and disbelief as the airstrikes continue without a foreseeable end.

The regime’s security forces are still out in force on the capital’s streets, often in plainclothes, masked, and blending in with civilians, residents said. The Basij has set up checkpoints where armed men search each vehicle’s trunk for satellite dishes, weapons and anything else suspicious, Tehran residents said.

This is the Iran strategy

One of two things will happen this week, possibly today:

1) Trump will 'declare victory' and say that the straights are open.
2) The Epstein files are so damning he'll go all in and announce a ground invasion around southern Iran to secure the straights.

Neither are likely to lower oil prices in the short term. Senators and Reps are going to be howling at him to get this fixed.

Remember people, WRITE. YOUR. REPRESENTATIVES. Don't even complain about Trump - complain about gas prices and that you don't see how attacking Iran is putting America first when it is hurting our business and our cost of living. Be specific.

With any luck they'll start impeachment if he goes route 2.
