Over 5,000 Munitions Shot in the First 96 Hours of the Iran War

For three decades, American grand strategy has rested on what Barry Posen termed “Command of the Commons”: an unrivaled ability to project power across the globe. The opening 96 hours of Operation Epic Fury against Iran suggest this paradigm has shifted. The decisive factor in modern, high-end conflict has become more than just standoff strikes—it is about the industrial capacity to sustain those strikes and defend against adversarial attacks. The modern foundation of military power has become a...
 


🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just EVISCERATED our NATO “allies” as total FREELOADERS after refusing to help in Iran, says we don’t need them anyway — and “NEVER DID!”

“The United States has been informed by most of our NATO “Allies” that they don’t want to get involved with our Military Operation against the Terrorist Regime of Iran.”

“Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer “need,” or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID!”

“Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

BREAKING:

Notorious leaker @joekent16jan19 just resigned from his role as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center. Kent reports to Tulsi Gabbard @TulsiGabbard.

I have been warning you all about Joe Kent for a long time now.

I predict @TulsiGabbard will resign next.

As I said in my post yesterday, Kent is another @TuckerCarlson acolyte who undermines President Trump every chance he gets. His wife Heather Kaiser @HeatherKaiserWA works for Trump hater and rabid Jew hater @MaxBlumenthal who is married to a radical Muslim woman.

You’ll recall several months ago Kent suggested I was a Mossad spy with zero evidence at all.

He was caught leaking President Trump’s private meeting with @marklevinshow to Tucker Carlson a couple months ago and he was told by White House advisors that if he got caught leaking again, he would be fired. Kent even admitted to leaking to Tucker.

You’ll notice that Kent is resigning the same day it was announced that Dan Caldwell would be joining @ODNIgov after he was fired by @PeteHegseth for leaking. It’s also important to note that this is happening one day before Tulsi Gabbard is set to testify to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence tomorrow, and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on Thursday.

Both of the hearings will now focus on Kent’s resignation letter as Kent blamed Israel for the war in Iran and accused the Trump administration of being controlled by the Israel lobby. This is of course a Neo Nazi talking point. When Kent ran for Congress, you’ll recall he was exposed for associating with Neo Nazis, which cost him his election.

This is exactly what Tulsi Gabbard wanted because now she can use the entire hearing to attack President Trump, and she will never criticize Joe Kent who she always goes out of her way to protect.

Kent, Gabbard, Carlson, Blumenthal and Dan Caldwell @dandcaldwell all have the same mentality. This is why they pose such a threat to the Trump administration, because they are all consumed by an obsession with Israel and rabid, irrational Jew hate.

Everything with these people is viewed through the lens of Jews and Israel. The fact that they are responsible for sharing intelligence with the President and carrying out counter terrorism in the US should terrify every American since they operate from a bias that protects Muslims and strives to portray Jews an enemies to America.

No wonder why there have been 4 Islamic terror attacks in the United States over the last week…

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Tulsi Gabbard resign next. Maybe she will do it live during her hearing to make a scene. Last week, as I reported, @amconmag, which Tucker sits on the advisory board of, published an article calling on @DNIGabbard to resign from her post at DNI to preserve herself and her principles to save her political career.

This is all being planned with Tucker Carlson. It’s by design to attack the Trump-MAGA legacy.

Pay attention to who continues to protect Tucker.

Dan Caldwell should not be allowed to join ODNI. That whole office is swarming with Jew haters and Democrats who loathe Trump.

Once again, I’ve been proven right.

It’s exhausting being right so often.
 
It's us and our Israeli masters against Iran, but if we invade, it will be us alone cause Israeli army doesn't fight men...
 
The neocons and Israel played Trump perfectly. Probably told him this would be a simple bombing run but bigger than last time. They know he doesn't like to lose. So now he's stuck. Either he cuts and runs or it's all out war with boots on the ground for years.

If he pulls out now I would at least give him credit for being smart enough to not commit us further. Still a stupid move to go in in the 1st place.
There is almost 0 support for this war and about the same amount of love for Israel.
 


🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸 “The US and Israel are considering a risky special operation to seize Iranian uranium” – The Telegraph

According to experts, a significant portion of the uranium is stored in tunnel complexes in Isfahan, as well as partially in Fordow and Natanz, despite US and Israeli airstrikes in June 2025. Therefore, US President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu are discussing the possibility of a ground operation to seize or neutralise hundreds of kilograms of radioactive material needed to create nuclear weapons.

Military experts call this plan the “largest special forces operation in history”. It would require hundreds of operators, including Delta Force units and the British SAS, plus engineers, sappers, and air transport support. Delivering and extracting uranium from the destroyed tunnels could take days, and improper handling risks toxic contamination. An alternative is to destroy the reserves on site, but this creates the risk of radioactive pollution and difficulties with verifying the results.
 

Live updates: Trump insists US can break Iran’s grip on the Strait of Hormuz without allies’ help​

Major developments we’re following:

  • U.S. President Donald Trump fumed in a post Tuesday “WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE” to break Iran’s grip on the Strait of Hormuz. As the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran rages, analysts say it’s extremely dangerous for vessels to pass through the strait, where they’re vulnerable to attack from Iran’s anti-ship missiles, drones or mines. The effects are being felt in rising gas prices, as concerns of a global energy crisis grow.
  • The director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, has announced his resignation, saying he “cannot in good conscience” back the Trump administration’s war in Iran. Kent said on social media that Iran “posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.” A special forces combat veteran with ties to right-wing extremists, Kent was considered as much of a loyalist as Trump could have in the government’s top counterterror
