  The US has carried out a series of ‘defensive strikes’ on Iranian locations near Hormuz, with explosions heard on Qeshm Island. The strikes come despite US Vice President JD Vance describing progress in talks with Iran.

  This time it seems Iran shot missiles at US fighter planes flying over Hormuz (and missed them), which is what prompted the US to attack their missile launchers on Qeshm island in reaction (at least, according to American sources, which haven’t exactly been much more credible than Iranian sources in that war). On their side, the Iranians claim to…

  What did I say that was incorrect? Are you telling me the guy that wanted to nuke a hurricane and the guy that changed the dept of defense to dept of war and wants to start a holy war wouldn't consider using a nuclear weapon? I'm sure they removed high ranking military leaders because the Fox News host and a reality tv idiot know more than those…

  "One way or the other, we will do something, but there is no rush. We crippled them financially," he [POTUS] told news outlet Axios. "They have no money, no gasoline and their people are getting very tired of it." I am not sure if he's talking about Iran or the United States. 🙄 https://www. bbc.com/news/articles/cx240mrm 3g8vo # iran #…

  Sadly, there are morons like my dad (a lifelong Democrat) that is dazzled by these impotent displays of weakness. He sent out texts when Trump dropped a MOAB in the middle of nowhere in Afghanistan his first term. He even started including Trump in his prayers at dinner after the absurd invasion of Venezuela to kidnap that bus driver. I don't have…

  The U.S. has already launched initial strikes on Iran, targeting Iranian territory at the northern entrance to the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian troops fired on U.S. aircraft amid public U.S. threats to attack Iran. RE:

  To be fair, one of those Americans who doesn't know how elections work is Trump. It's entirely possible for him to be doing stuff as part of a plan to cancel the elections despite said plan having absolutely no legal basis whatsoever. Wouldn't be the first thing he's tried to do with no legal basis

  They've apparently been striking the last few weeks, but keeping it on the down low to not "raise temperatures" for negotiations as well. Really dumb, but it's what I read yesterday in regards to the latest strikes.

  The Ministry of Truth would like to point out that it has always been called a defensive strike. Just like how we’ve always been at peace with Iran since our Dear Leader took power. Move along, citizen.

  That was predictable. Expect worse if he loses the House and/or Senate. https://www. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx240m rm3g8vo

  Maybe this is Trump seeing the writing on the wall and is now embracing the possibility of being the last Republican president. Honestly I think he’d love that title at this point.

  Those drones are not around for friendly purposes so no wonder they get shot at. Iran has right to set terms in its waters, but not Oman's waters.

  I have friends in rural Alaska who haven't seen gas as low as $6/gal for years, but the current insanity has driven it to over $20/gal already.
