There’s posts from other threads that can go here, but it sure looks like Trump and Bibi are taking John McCain’s suggestion to heart.
Weird, considering how much Trump is on record as not liking McCain, but I guess when you’re a peace-loving individual like Trump and you’re the one person who can prevent World War III, you do what you have to do to eliminate the enemy along the way.
Trump is skipping out early from the G7 conference
…and he wants the National Security Council in the Situation Room upon arrival.

I’m sure we’re going to be greeted as liberators again.
Israeli news is reporting that the US military is now attacking in Iran.
Cyrus rolling around in his grave right now
Okay once Reza is back in power the first thing he’s gotta do is throw a giant party to invite all the heads of state to establish relations with them right

My brother in law has a friend who is originally from Iran, and whose father still lives there. He sent my BIL a screenshot of a text from his father. He said that the IRGC is trying to cut off people’s access to communications, but they’re using StarLink. In the outskirts of Tehran, there are uprisings against the government, but inside Tehran, the IRGC are trying to keep control, so the protests aren’t happening there.
I think it’s a matter of time until this regime falls.
Why go to Tehran when you can go to Teheran-Ro instead
brb gonna go tell Jimmy about this
Trump helping overthrow Iran’s government and putting Reza Pahlavi in control would be so on brand. Throw in a “take the oil” edict from Trump that he carries out with kickbacks to the new Shah, and we’re right back to the 1950s again.

Looks like the US is now at war with Iran. Enjoy spending trillions on suppressing another country.
UPDATE 12:30 p.m.: Minutes after publishing, Trump added in another post to social media: “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”
“You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept.”
Well, so much for America First I suppose.
Push it to DEFCON 4 and flush the bombers!
I think we are supposed to wait for the Signal chat for all the details, right?

Carlson: But you don’t really believe that Iran is trying to assassinate Trump, otherwise you would be calling for military strikes against them in retaliation.
Cruz: In fact we are carrying out military strikes against them today
Carlson: You said we
Cruz: We, as in Israel is leading them, but we are supporting them
Carlson: Well you are breaking news here, because [the US government and Trump denied that]… This is high stakes stuff, you’re a US Senator. If you’re saying that the US government is at war with Iran right now, people are listening!

Israeli hackers hacked into Nobitex, the Iranian exchange used for crypto currencies. Iran has used crypto to try and bypass international sanctions.
I’ve seen differing reports of just how much was taken from the exchange, with amounts ranging from $48 million to over a billion.
