We knew something was up when military and state dependents were ordered to leave the Near and Mid East. Next Tulci Gabard (Wed night on FOX) warned that a nuclear war might be close. Apparently Israeli intelligence discovered that Iran had enriched enough uranium for 9 bombs, so time to destroy Iran’s nuclear sites . After earlier denials, it was divulged that Israel does have bunker bombs and that Israel has cultivated large numbers of Iranians to provide humint. Last I saw was a statement from Sec. Rubio that the US was not involved. Stay tuned and pray.
Why did it take so long – great satisfaction seeing Hezbollahs puppet masters finally getting what they deserve because of what they have done to my parents homeland…
Scary thought to think what Iran will do in retaliation…Israel is confident they won’t do anything or they are prepared for the sacrifice that is to come. Prayers
I don’t think this is a good thing. I understand why israel made a preemptive strike against Iran, but Iran will respond against both Israel the attacker and the US her supporter without discrimination, and with the United States teetering on the precipice of civil war because of the godless Democrats, nothing good will come from the testosterone-crazed, demon-god worshipping mad Mullahs.
PS, all of us sailors who have served on nuclear subs fervently prayed and hoped that our weapons would never be used. Tulsi Gabbard’s trepidation is not without merit. God have mercy on us all.
From Aljazerra;
June 12th….***A key issue cited is Iran’s failure to provide the IAEA with credible explanations of how uranium traces detected at undeclared sites in Iran came to be there, despite the agency having investigated the issue for years.
A text of the resolution seen by the Reuters news agency said that “Iran’s many failures to uphold its obligations since 2019” to provide the IAEA “with full and timely cooperation regarding undeclared nuclear material and activities at multiple undeclared locations constitute non-compliance with its obligations” under its agreement with the UN agency.
In response, Iran‘s Foreign Ministry and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) announced in a joint statement that the country will build a new uranium enrichment facility “in a secure location”, adding that “other measures … will be announced later”.
In a separate statement posted on X, the AEOI also announced that it will replace the first-generation centrifuges at the Fordow nuclear site with “advanced sixth-generation” centrifuges, signalling that it will continue its nuclear enrichment.
Iran’s Press TV also quoted the foreign ministry as saying that the board resolution “has no technical and legal basis.”***
Iran, out of compliance?
Not any longer. Lesson #1. If you can’t play by the rules than you can expect a penalty.

The Shah was a kindergarten teacher compared to the mullahs. Even the Sunni Arab states despise the Iranian government.
Khameni and the mullahs were stupid enough to think they could get away with it.
There’s a lot of sane people in Iran who want the theocracy to end … I hope they realize that they’re not going to get a better opportunity to rise up. Hopefully we’ve got assets in place prepared to assist.
Many of the Iranian leaders have been killed but not The Mullah. Top leaders of the Iranian air command killed. All strikes have been aimed at Iranian military sites. Israel and Jordan intercepted most of the incoming so far.
CAG, one of the Israeli commentators in the US intimated that they hoped to relieve the Iranian people from the mullahs rule. “So that the two great ancient peoples can live in peace” or words to that effect. The Israelis do have plenty of assets in Iran. SEC Rubio continues to say that the US will not join the fray but will protect our forces in the US. A battle group and more troops will be deployed in the Med and Europe to stand by.
