The US airstrikes on Iran, a timeline of tonight, all times are in Tehran time-zone:

  • Pre 1am: Israeli drones activated air defenses in several Iranian regions.
  • 1:14am: Fighter jets were heard over Shiraz.
  • 1:22am: Several aircraft were heard over central Iran.
  • 2:04am: Two jets [bombers] and an explosion were heard near Qom. Qom's countryside is the site of Fordow.
  • 2:13am: An explosion was heard near Kashan, another city near Fordow.
  • 2:38am: An explosion was heard at Fordow, but it was assumed a drone was intercepted. Which has now proven wrong.
  • 2:41am: A loud explosion was heard at Isfahan's Atomic Energy Facility.
  • 2:46am: An explosion was heard at Natanz Nuclear Facility.
  • 2:55am: GPS jamming was observed across Iran.

Reminder this only happened because Trump tore up the original deal and Iran was pissed. He had no negotiating position to make a new one because why would Iran agree when you didn't follow the old one. The cope about it not being approved by congress doesn't make it illegal. Since when does maga care about that ? Trump has defied judges several times now.

Second wasn't a big thing Maga roared about was that Trump was anti war ?

So my guess is that the Republicans who signed on to the "bipartisan" bill preventing Trump from taking action against Iran are suddenly going to have a whole lot of nothing to say......

Israel asked Bush to strike Iran's nuclear program. Bush refused

They asked him again to strike Syria's program

He refused again.

God effing damnit! How tf will the ring get to Mordor now?!?

[-] wavebeam@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Are we fucking cooked? Is this going to start a series of retaliatory strikes that brings about the use of nukes? This shit fucking sucks.

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yes.

He's deliberately placed the Nimitz, an obsolete and comparatively low-tech vessel, in reach of Iranian attack submarines. That will be the new Gulf of Tonkin. There will be a draft, and the use of tactical nuclear weapons is inevitable.

Bro a single Nimitz has more ciws than most navies and you know a literal air force, they're old they are by no means obsolete countries would literally kill to take one whole.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
