Iran just told the world: “Nuclear dust? We’re keeping it all.”
Very well then. “We’ll take it.”
While the regime plays games in talks, they’re clinging to their enriched uranium stockpiles and underground facilities like it’s their lifeline. No full dismantlement. No giving up enrichment.
Deal breaker.
Same old terror-sponsoring mullahs enriching toward a bomb while funding proxies and threatening the Strait.
Trump’s team is right to hold the line.
No more JCPOA 2.0 sweetheart deals.
America doesn’t negotiate with nuclear blackmail.
Time to make them feel maximum pressure — or face maximum consequences.
The regime’s days of playing coy with the apocalypse are done. Over. Get to work, boys!

No Signs of Peace in the Gulf

‘Scary and silencing’: Troops, families receive threats from foreign bad actors
The threats began after the U.S. strikes against Iran and have included identifying details about troops, their spouses and children.

Not this again. It's harder to take critics seriously when they trot out the same old DNCMSLSDSnopes LIE.
Trump didn't file for bankrupty. Licensees of his name, filed for bankruptcy.
Trump's development company was not Trump Las Vegas Casino, Trump Manhattan Hotels, Trump Wines or Trump Steaks.
His business, that he ran, was real-estate development.
Businesses often license each other's names, or the names of prominent people. Roy Rogers was an actor and singer.
NOT a restauranteur or a cook.
But there was a Roy Rogers Chicken chain out there, for a few decades. The name was licensed.
It went bankrupt.
NOT because Roy Rogers was a lousy cook...for other reasons, that had nothing to do with Roy Rogers.
Apparently, both sides are launching "Self Defense" strikes...funny how that works.
Or them...don't forget they have have factions too.
They keep shooting back though...

Can I interpret that to mean that you are NOT concerned about Iran possessing a nuclear weapon?
I’m more concerned that USA has such weapons and has shown willingness to use them plus Israel has them but denies it and allows no nuclear weapons inspection and seems to be unconcerned about committing the genocide of its neighbours .
North Korea has shown the world what happens when you have such a thing . How many countries got wasted by USA after agreeing not to develop nuclear weapons .
How about the whole world agrees we don’t need them because any use likely triggers all of em and the human project ends….

Well WW2 doesn't count because we were fighting deranged fascist/Military regimes that didn't think twice of wiping out entire races, countrys, and peoples. If they had the bomb first they would have wiped all of us out and humanity would have entered a dark age. America did what it had to do to save 500,000 American lives from suicidal Japs with pitchforks and Kamikaze boats and airplanes by the hundreds of thousands.
Since then we haven't made any "Death To """""" " ,and fill in the " """"" " with whom you like, our mantra. We did however face down a monstrosity called the Soviet Union and communism keeping the flame of liberty alive. And one of the sad realities of generations of western kids never having to serve in the military is they never come to appreciate what the sacrifices of their for-fathers bequeathed them. And I'm talking freedom here.
Instead of seeing firsthand what the pile of shit the rest of the world is they instead got to spend their formative years listening to their professors, who they themselves did the same, teach them was a terrible country is the one they live in and how they should hate it. Thats why we have ass wipes like Timmy Waltz doing the George Floyd Felony shuffle on the day when he supposed to be honoring those that fell giving him the right to make an ass of himself like that.
I was in the US Air Force. I guarded, secured, and convoyed those terrible weapons for four long years and it never once occurred to me I was ever doing wrong doing so. I was keeping my country free. I did my part to keep the free world "free". And I would do it again without a 2nd thought.

Agree with this. It's not Iran and it's not North Korea, babbling about "tactical nuclear strikes" and about surviving a nuclear exchange. Nope, that's our Western avatars of responsible nuclear "defense" weapons.
Some essayist, might have been Michael Snyder, quoted former West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, in saying that too many leaders have never experienced the horrors of total warfare, that they don't have a healthy fear of it. That's exactly our problem in the USSA today - war, to these "leaders," means opportunities for insider trading involving the MIC. It means promotions in rank. It means moar ribbons for their fruit-salad racks. It means moar power and wealth.
Because all these wonderful Endless Wars have NOT been fought on any land or city that they have any connection to! Not their homes; not even lands they'd learned to love or appreciate. Just killing fields, a place to do their Malthusian duty.
I think our turn is coming. IMHO they're pushing the envelope, both as regards Russia, and what they're doing to Americans in America.
Correct. I don't think believe that Iran was close to having one and even if they did get one, I don't think they would be any more of a threat to use it than Pakistan, North Korea or other non-USA aligned nations.
No, shoot the Tiny Hat guys....

- President Donald Trump told CNBC’s Eamon Javers, “I don’t care” if peace negotiations with Iran are over.
- Trump told CNBC he was “going to ask” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “what’s going on with Lebanon.”
- Trump said he wasn’t worried about oil prices, which spiked following a report that Iran will “completely block” the Strait of Hormuz in addition to halting negotiations with the U.S.
Trump tells CNBC: 'I don't care' if Iran negotiations are over
President Trump spoke with CNBC's Eamon Javers about the latest with the Iran war in an interview Monday.

Not only do I disagree with you, yes I think these Loons would use them, but you are forgetting the cascading effect Iran getting nukes would have on the region. In short order Turkey, Saudi, other Gulf Nations, maybe some in the Caucuses, all would want their own because THEY sure as hell think Iran would use them. And its not like this stuff is ground breaking technology being 80+ years old.
And were talking flight times and alarms that would take minutes or even seconds. Flocks of migrating geese would be mistaken for attacks due to these short flight times and inexperienced operators, giving them seconds to decide whether to use them or lose them. Pakistan and India chose sanity instead of mutual destruction and they both housed their weapons taking them off the line. They can't roll them out without the other detecting it. Theres no guarantee Iran would do the same. In fact its highly doubtful.
Lastly Iran is oil rich and their nuclear production Industry is 100% with their borders. They have huge deposits of uranium to mine, plutonium from their energy program, centrifuges for uranium enrichment, and delivery systems with advanced seeker technology. Ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, Jabo's, all ready to go, in house. And this is the bunch of fanatics who sent barefoot children thru Iraqi minefields to clear them for the infantry.
And when such people make "Death to America" the "Great Satan" their mantra history tells us to listen. At the very least they would get a death grip on the region and the oil that flows thru it.
