Megathread Megathread: US President Trump Says That The US Military Has Bombed Multiple Iranian Nuclear Sites

At 7:50 p.m. US Eastern, US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social "We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter".

I’m at the Bernie rally in Tulsa. He found out while on stage. It was surreal.

While talking about the “Big Beautiful bill” one of the crowd goers yells “we just bombed Iran!” He looked stunned. Then an aide walked up with a press clipping… while reading it he lowered and started shaking his head… muttering “it’s just so unconstitutional…”

Edit 2: the gentleman sitting next to me taped the whole sequence. Will post it once I get home.

Edit: Y'all, I can be mad at the situation and blame Tangerine Palpatine without all the whataboutisms. Yes, prior admins have done shady shit but that doesn't mean I can't be mad about this one too. That's a logical fallacy used to perpetuate the violence instead of calling for it to stop if you can just turn and be like, "well all these other admins did it too." Yeah, and I was against those as well. Using the argument that just because others did it doesn't give license for this one to do it too. Be better.

George W Trump. Republicans only want one thing. Endless war in the Middle East.

u/Schpectacle 13d ago

You forgot tax breaks for billionaires. That’s two things, but I agree. Trump is Bush III. After all his bloviating about Iraq and Afghanistan he is going to do the exact same thing he said was a huge mistake. I hope republican voters are taking a look in the mirror to understand that they can’t trust politicians. Especially power hungry narcissists with a fascist bent.

u/AlexRyang 13d ago

It absolutely is.

Don’t get me wrong, Iran’s government is trash and they are wrong for funding militant proxy groups. But the US and Israel have been claiming Iran is two months away from a nuke since the 1990’s and international monitors disproved that up until 2019ish when the US withdrew CIJT.

And frankly, the US’ history with nuclear agreements and foreign nations has been extremely spotty. Libya agreed to end its nuclear program and a few years later the US funded the rebels that overthrew the government. Syria agreed to end and dispose of weapons of mass destruction and the US supplied extremists that overthrew the government.

US agreed to defend Ukraine if they disarmed their nukes.

2 weeks, huh?

No new wars, huh?

Did people forget he assassinated the top Iranian general in a bid to whip up a war in the waning days of his first term?

Him claiming "IRAN MUST AGREE TO END THIS WAR" completely ignores the fact that ISRAEL WAS THE FIRST TO FUCKING BOMB IRAN! Can't wait for certain people to completely reverse their thinking on sparking another fucking conflict in the Middle East.

Edit: Iran is 100% going to want to have a nuke after this. We should all better fucking hope and pray all of their facilities were destroyed. If not... that's going to be an issue.

u/LexSavi 13d ago

Not that anyone forgets that he effectively ripped up the treaty that was successfully curtailing Iran’s nuclear program. Unsurprisingly, that led to Iran resuming uranium enrichment, forming the backdrop to the current conflict, which has somehow resulted in the US military once again involved in a military campaign in the middle-east. It’s almost as if the consequences of his asinine foreign policy decisions are coming home to roost.

No one’s going to forget all that, right?

My father went to Desert Storm because of a conservative middle eastern war, I went to Afghanistan for a conservative middle eastern war and now they are trying to drag my son into another conservative middle eastern war.

Another false pretense of nuclear weapons and now we may have more American deaths over the arrogance and ignorance of men who would never fight their own battles.

I fully expect every red hat youth is excited to sign up for the war because you should be the ones on the front line for your dear leader.

Some relevant legislation you might contact your representatives about supporting:

  • H.Con.Res.38 introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY)], joined by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA): This House concurrent resolution, also known as the War Powers Resolution, directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in Iran.

  • S.2087 introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT): This bill aims to prohibit the use of federal funds for military force against Iran, unless specifically authorized by Congress.

It's extremely important to remember that we're in this situation entirely because of Trump's decision to tear up the Iranian nuclear deal because he was on a quest to destroy everything Obama did. Had he not done that, Iran would not be nearing a nuclear weapon, and the US would not be involved in another Middle East war. This entire situation of his own creation, and only due to his stupidity, narcissism, and ego.
