Trump bombs Iran directly, after helping Israel start war of aggression

Donald Trump ordered direct US airstrikes on Iran, after helping Israel start a war of aggression. Tehran already said it would retaliate against US targets. There are more than 40,000 US troops in West Asia (the Middle East), and dozens of military bases, which could be hit. US intelligence agencies previously said Iran was not developing nuclear weapons, but this US war will now actually make them likely.

Donald Trump has carried out direct US air strikes on Iran, bombing what he said were three major nuclear sites.

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan”, Trump boasted, in a post on his website Truth Social on 21 June.

“A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow”, he wrote.

Trump posted a screenshot of a tweet from the account “Open Source Intel”, bragging, “Fordow is gone” — a reference to an Iranian uranium enrichment plant.

An hour after announcing that he had directly bombed Iran, Trump posted a jpeg of a US flag, with no other comment.

Iran vowed to retaliate — and has lots of potential US targets

Iran has vowed to retaliate by hitting US military targets in the region.

The US had at least 40,000 troops in West Asia (the so-called Middle East), and access to dozens of military bases, as of 13 June.

There are known US bases and other military facilities located in Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as nearby Djibouti, Greece, and Turkey, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.

The forward headquarters of US Central Command is in Qatar. The US Navy’s Fifth Fleet is based in Bahrain.

These direct attacks on Iran come after Trump helped Israel launch a war of aggression against Iran on 13 June.

Israeli officials said Trump gave Israel’s leader Benjamin Netanyahu a “green light” to carry out the initial surprise attack.

Three days before the start of the war, the US delivered to Israel 300 Hellfire missiles, which were used to kill Iranian officials.

Seymour Hersh was right: Trump waited for Wall Street to close to bomb Iran

Trump’s direct attack on Iran came exactly when was predicted by renowned journalist Seymour Hersh.

In a report citing US and Israeli sources, Hersh said the operation “will entail heavy American bombing”.

In the article, which was published on Friday, 20 June, Hersh wrote that the Iranian targets will “not be struck until the weekend”.

“The delay has come at Trump’s insistence because the president wants the shock of the bombing to be diminished as much as possible by the opening of Wall Street trading on Monday” (23 June), Hersh reported.

This is exactly what happened: Trump bombed Iran on the night of Saturday, 21 June, when the stock market was closed.

What this demonstrates is that serving the interests of Wall Street is one of Trump’s top priorities.

    MALICE IN BLUNDERLAND

    Consequent to the Nuremberg trials, the United Nations declared that wars of aggression are the most heinous of all international crimes against humanity. This is what Israel committed against Iran, this is what the USA also committed against Iran. War initiated by sneak terrorist attacks by Israel on Friday 13th, while Iran was in the middle of peace talks with the US.
    How duplicitous, deceitful, dishonest, despicable, depraved and disgusting can the ZioYankees get?
    Furthermore the US constitution was violated by Trump because Congressional approval is required before going to war.
    Only quisling cowardly psychopathic invertebrates will deny that the ZioYankees are by definition the most heinous war criminals in the world.
    Those who align with criminals are themselves criminals.
    Those of you who enjoy righteous Karma will find this clip heeelarious…

    Here is a MUST SEE amazing compilation of videoclips summarising missile exchanges by BOTH SIDES, days 1 to 6 after Israel’s sneak terrorist attack against Iran.
    Richard Medhurst is a top notch independent British journalist.

    To summarize the crazy events the past few days…
    Trump claimed to have bombed Iranian nuclear sites but in reality there was no real damage and no casualties. Iran then struck a US airbase in Qatar but in reality there was no real damage and no casualties. Trump then tweeted he had brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, without any independent confirmation by the Iranians, then as residual missiles hit Israel, the Israelis claimed that the Iranians had violated a ceasefire that had never been formally acknowledged.

    My view is that it would be insane for the Iranians to agree to any ceasefire unless the Israelis agree to stop their genocide against the Palestinians. If not, justice can only be served by turning all Zionist cities and settlements into a Gazan landscape.
    Is is just a matter of time before the devious Mossad dirt bags resume assassinations of Iranians again before launching another attack against Iran.

    Here are well reasoned summaries as to why Israel is screwed in any conventional conflict with Iran lasting more than 2 weeks* and why the US can do nothing about it. Bottom line: Israel’s missile defences were ineffective, their interceptors were being depleted** and cannot be adequately replenished***, Israeli defensive missiles are magnitudes more expensive than the ordnance Iran was hurling at them and Iran has hidden underground reserves of tens of thousands of missiles (which even SatanYahoo admitted), hence Iran can easily long outlast both Israel and the US in any conflict lasting more than a fortnight*.
    All the above considerations apply equally to US missile defences of their bases in Qatar, Iraq, Saudi Arabia etc etc.
    Iran outlasted Iraq in the 8 year 1980 to 88 war when Saddam was still a US proxy and Iran was isolated. Today Iran is backed by Russia, China and Pakistan.

    *which is why Israel needed a ceasefire by day 12, being on the verge of collapse.

    **need to fire 2 to 3 interceptors for an 80 to 90% chance of bringing down 1 incoming non-steerable subsonic missile or decoy. Initial ordnance Iran shot into Israel was either old generation cheap missiles or, as the payloads separated in terminal descent, worthless scrap metal decoys.
    More modern, more precise and much faster, steerable missiles for which Israel and US bases have zero defence against, are mostly held in reserve by Iran and were only starting to be deployed by day 12.
