They are running out of headlines, fresh strikes?
@
Most of there stuff is very deep under ground and they have many hidden and hard to find locations.
@
Wait... I thought those missile and drone capabilities were already sent to the afterlife according to Mr. Trump. 😅 Guess they found the respawn button.
@
I'm not a betting man, but if I were, I'd bet Trump has already asked his military advisers about using nukes.
@
So what are we calling it this time? We already used obliterated, decimated & devastated.

If it doesn't work, do it again - and again - global disruption, courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.
@
Iranian missiles will be seen in Washington DC next
@
The ' Islamabad MOU ' is in garbage bin. What a joke. !!
@
Are we sure that Trump does not do this intentionally to support Putin by high oil prices ?
I personally still think that Trump is a Russian mafia guy.

When will Trump just accept that he has lead the USA into a catastrophic, humiliating defeat.

It's a normal tactic of warfare to try to 'starve them out' it doesn't work though. People become more resourceful and it seems to make people more determined to hold out. I suppose it is a question of pride. Iran and cohorts will keep aiming at the pocket too. So the question is. Who, internally will complain the most? Receive pressure ,. noisy or quiet. In my view America are in a region which is nothing to do with them.

"further degrade" , when will that start on the Iranian side because it started early this year for us in the US

The Tyrants have to be removed...it's as simple as that.

The distraction from the Epstein files is working ....just stack up multiple atrocities so nobody cares about the individual ones.

When you start a war without strategy or purpose other than lies this is what you get more radicalized and deeper in the hole. I blame Congress since you cannot really blame a psycho path for their behavior.
@
This can’t be right! President Trump said he obliterated Irans military!

Are they suggesting that the leader of the free world is lying?!

It's been 4 months. If the "greatest military in the history of the world" can't manage to fully degrade their capabilities within the space of 4 months, the world has changed.

This is a wild move. Feels like Trump just cranked the difficulty level to Insane mode for North American trade. Does Carney actually have a strategy here, or is he just trying to keep his streak alive while the economy takes a hit? Total chaos.

It’s a heavy thing to see young folks having to push this hard just for a fair shake at an education. My own grandkids are lucky to have books and teachers who care, but it reminds me that when the youth start speaking up like this, there's usually a deep truth that needs hearing. I hope they find a peaceful way forward.

Welcome everyone! It's heavy seeing those images of the missile and drone sites being targeted. This escalation feels incredibly tense right now. Do you think these strikes will actually lead to a resolution, or are we just seeing the start of something bigger?
