“Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire.”

The strikes come just hours after Trump said negotiations with Iran were “proceeding nicely.”

    This war is only making it more difficult to consolidate power, and they all know it too. Israel forced them into it. Because the president is Israel’s bitch.

      I agree Israel fooled MAGA into it. I don’t know about force, just manipulated.

      I don’t see how it’s making it more difficult to consolidate power though. From what I can see, the Epstein files were heating up big time, just before the war. If they lost control of the narrative and Epstein stayed front and center Trump could have been impeached by now easily.

      I’m not sure how many flip flops it’s going to take for people to figure it out. It’s also why the Cuba situation is deteriorating right as the Iran situation is appearing more positive. With mediators and many other stakeholders sucked in, MAGA can’t control the Iran narrative as tightly anymore. They have to try to pretend to be interested in an end to the war.

      All IMO obviously

        Epstein was an Israeli honeypot, they have video of footage of these guys banging kids and are using it to keep that critical mass of lawmakers in line with everything else they do.

        So I am saying the president is being blackmailed into it.

          I reaalllly want to believe that but I haven’t seen anything in the way of evidence. I mean it’s not out of the question though.
