Donald G.W.B. Trump officially attacks Iran

[Millennial_Messiah]

With joint operations with Pissrael

seriously, karmic poetic justice would be D.C. being on the receiving end of an atom bomb, to put Shitmerica in its place and teach it a lesson that its days and reign of being "numba one" over the world are numbered. Would be sweet and wonderful poetic justice and funny for the USA to be defeated in its pathetic 250th "Anniversary".

using negotiations as cover

fearing that peace might break out in the middle east, Bibi and Trump went on the attack


The foreign minister of Oman, who was brokering the indirect negotiations between the Trump administration and Tehran over Iran's nuclear program up until late this week, chided the U.S. on Saturday for going on the attack amid the diplomacy.


"I am dismayed," Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi (https://x.com/badralbusaidi) said in a social media post (https://x.com/badralbusaidi/status/2027716606223388847). "Active and serious negotiations have yet again been undermined. Neither the interests of the United States nor the cause of global peace are well served by this. And I pray for the innocents who will suffer. I urge the United States not to get sucked in further. This is not your war."


On Friday, just hours before the strikes, Albusaidi old CBS News (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-iran-deal-within-our-reach-oman-mediator-says/) that negotiators had made "substantial progress" toward a deal to curb Iran's nuclear program, telling "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan that a "peace deal is within our reach."


He said Iran had agreed that it will "never, ever have … nuclear material that will create a bomb," which he called a "big achievement."https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/israel-us-attack-iran-trump-says-major-combat-operations/

Insurers told ship owners on Saturday they would cancel policies and raise coverage prices for vessels travelling through the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz after the US and Israel attacked Iran.

War risk insurers on Saturday submitted cancellation notices for policies covering ships moving through the key oil chokepoint, brokers told the FT, with prices set to rise as much as 50 per cent in the coming days.

The unusual move to submit these notices before trading resumes on Monday underscores the pace of escalation after Iran launched retaliatory strikes against US bases across the Middle East.

Insurance prices for ships travelling through the Gulf had been about 0.25 per cent of the replacement cost of a vessel. They could now jump as much as 50 per cent, Dylan Mortimer, marine hull UK war leader at broker Marsh, told the FT.https://www.ft.com/content/2dc114d0-5bb3-4fae-b538-9a050954549a

There's no defending this. And voting blue in the midterms won't do anything, the orange man is governing like a medieval king. You'd need 67 senators to vote to expel him from office if he's impeached, and that number would never happen given that there are 24 red states, 19 blue states, and 7 swing states.

And no, assassinating Trump wouldn't help. Vance is arguably worse.

The only thing to do is wait til 2028 and vote for Newsom for President and hope SCOTUS doesn't completely nerf the 22nd Amendment in the process.

Anjali Dayal live thread of UN Security Council meeting


Antonio Guterres is up first at this Security Council meeting. He condemns this morning’s strikes by Israel and the US on Iran, and the return strikes by Iran on countries in the region. There is, he says, no alternative to the peaceful settlement of disputes

He is now summarizing the situation, saying he is not in the position to verify Khamenei’s death, but has heard the Israeli reports of it. One of the key things the UN can do in this moment is provide credible, neutral information, even as it itself doesn’t have an intelligence arm

Everything must be done, he says, to prevent escalation—he calls on all states to protect civilians per international humanitarian law, to uphold the UN Charter, and to adhere to terms of nuclear safety

https://bsky.app/profile/anjalikdayal.bsky.social/post/3mfx5d4dt7c2b

[Winehole23]

France is up next. Their ambassador says that they are ready to stand in support of counties struck by Iran. This is not, so far, the fiery French approach of 2003; he’s right now speaking of Iran’s nuclear program, its policy of regional destabilization, and its repression of Iranian protestors

[Winehole23]

Bahrain is up now, condemning the violation of their sovereignty, and invoking the specific articles of the UN Charter on aggressive actions, and holding Iran specifically responsible, maintaining the right to respond, and calling on the UNSC to act according. He’s now speaking on behalf of the GCC

[Winehole23]

Russia’s up. They reject that the meeting is being held under the agenda item “the situation in the Middle East,” not “threats to international peace & security,” as requested by China and Russia. They say this the British presidency’s effort to artificially downplay the seriousness of the situation

[Winehole23]

Iran, Russia says, was willing to engage in negotiations, and was stabbed in the back. The humanitarian and nuclear safety concerns are particularly grave, they say

[Winehole23]

Russia invokes the English-language phrase “victim-blaming” to characterize the UK, French, and US government’s statements today

Ch

[Winehole23]

Colombia’s speaking now. Latin American countries were strong defenders of the UN charter and international law in January, after US actions in Venezuela. Colombia is hitting those points again now. They condemn any military action that’s contrary to the charter, no matter where it comes from

[Winehole23]

Colombia points to Iran’s failure to to protect the human rights of Iranians, but also notes that these failures are not justifications for the exercise of force against Iran; charter obligations, they say, hang together. They propose convening a peace conference do the region under the UN umbrella

perma war hawk Max Boot is lukewarm


It’s easy to start a war. It’s very hard to end one successfully.



That is a lesson that President George W. Bush learned in Iraq and Afghanistan—and previous presidents before him, in places ranging from Vietnam to Somalia. It is a lesson that President Donald Trump is likely to learn anew in Iran.



In lieu of a prime-time address or a speech to Congress—which is what past presidents have done before starting a war—Trump posted an eight-minute video (https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116147082884192486) at 2:30 a.m. Eastern on Saturday laying out his war aims. His goals include:





“We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground.”
“We are going to annihilate their navy.”
“We are going to ensure that the region’s terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region or the world and attack our forces.”
“We will ensure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon.”
“The members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, the armed forces, and all of the police… lay down your arms…. To the great, proud people of Iran…. take over your government.”




These are very ambitious objectives, and most of them cannot be achieved by air power alone. It is certainly possible to destroy most of Iran’s missiles, most of its navy, and most of its nuclear program with bombs and missiles. But what is to prevent Iran from rebuilding those capabilities the second that U.S. and Israeli bombs stop falling? Recall that Trump said that Iran’s nuclear program was “totally obliterated” last June, yet eight months later he is claiming the regime remains enough of a threat to justify U.S. military action (even though there is no evidence of Iran restarting enrichment).



Trump’s third objective—ensuring that Iran will no longer support “terrorist proxies”—is even harder to achieve. As long as Iran has the capability to export oil (and it does, despite U.S. sanctions) it will generate revenues sufficient to support Hezbollah, the Houthis, and other proxy groups.



The only thing that would make Iran stop supporting those organizations would be if the current clerical regime falls and is replaced by a liberal democracy. With his final war aim, Trump is signaling that he is pursuing regime change, but his approach is halfhearted. Ensuring the downfall of Iran’s government would require a ground invasion, which Trump has not ordered. Instead, he is hoping that U.S. air strikes—particularly if they killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior leaders—will galvanize another uprising. Perhaps security forces will lay down their arms this time, rather than slaughtering protesters as they did in January. Perhaps not.



But hope isn’t a strategy, and it’s not clear that Trump actually has a plan to achieve regime change. Keep in mind that the U.S. intelligence community assessed prior to the start of hostilities that, even if Khamenei is killed, his likely successors (https://x.com/erinbanco/status/2027776938937397265?s=43&t=A880z3De0OLXkuCBEwjZUQ) will be hardline leaders from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps—the very people who oversee Iran’s terrorist networks along with its nuclear and missile programs.



So the odds of Trump achieving all, or even most, of his objectives are remote, while the risks of miscalculation—resulting in a lengthy, indecisive conflict—are high. There are good reasons why previous presidents were reluctant to become embroiled in a war with Iran. Trump has ignored all the caveats. Now he will have to deal with the fallout from the biggest gamble of his presidency.

On the eve of the strike on Iran, U.S. officials envisioned a four- to five-day operation that would return a weakened Tehran to the negotiating table. According to one source, an American official conveyed an even more immediate proposal. Through a mediator, apparently Italy, he suggested reaching a ceasefire agreement today or tomorrow. Iran rejected the idea outright.https://www.ynetnews.com/opinions-analysis/article/hylyslbfzx

Sounds like propaganda, but who knows.

[Winehole23]

Two senior Houthi officials, speaking anonymously to international media because there was no formal public communique at the time of reporting, said the group had decided to restart missile and drone operations against maritime traffic in response to the US–Israeli military action against Iran (https://gcaptain.com/us-and-israel-launch-attacks-on-iran/). The officials indicated that renewed attacks could begin imminently and would target shipping routes previously struck during the group’s 2024–2025 campaign in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden (https://gcaptain.com/tag/red-sea-crisis/).


The Houthis had effectively paused large-scale maritime attacks in mid-November 2025, following a regional de-escalation linked to a Gaza ceasefire. From approximately 11 November 2025 until late February 2026, there were no sustained, confirmed missile or drone attacks against merchant vessels attributable to the group. Saturday’s statements therefore mark the end of roughly three and a half months of relative calm in one of the world’s most critical trade corridors.
Industry bodies reacted quickly. The Baltic and International Maritime Council (BIMCO), the world’s largest international shipping association, warned that vessels with business links to US or Israeli interests are likely to face elevated risk if Houthi attacks resume. BIMCO security officials stated that previous Houthi targeting patterns extended beyond flag state to include ships perceived to have ownership, chartering, trading, or corporate affiliations connected to Israel or the United States.


However, BIMCO cautioned that risk is not confined solely to vessels with direct links. In past attack cycles, ships with no clear Israeli or American ties were struck, either deliberately or through misidentification. The organisation emphasised that merchant vessels operating in the Red Sea and adjacent waters could face exposure even if they consider themselves neutral.

Rachel Maddow played a leading role in wasting years of liberal time and energy on a conspiracy theory that Trump colluded with, and was financially compromised by, Russia. This entailed ignoring not only the actual evidence about Russiagate, but about Trump's collusion with, and financial ties to, Israeli interests.

With Russiagate fan fiction no longer tenable, Maddow now claims that Gulf states got him to bomb Iran. She gives only a passing mention to Israel, omitting that Israel lobbied for this bombing and directly participated it; and that Trump and his cabinet have deep ties to pro-Israel oligarchs. Trump has openly bragged that his Israel policies are shaped by Miriam and Sheldon Aldelson. That somehow has escaped the dogged eye of this leading member of Trump's media opposition:

no rally round the flag effect yet



Nearly 6 in 10 Americans disapprove of the US decision to take military action in Iran, as most say a long-term military conflict between the two nations is likely, according to a new CNN poll (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/27693899-rel3a-iran/) conducted by SSRS.


The poll, fielded shortly after US and Israeli attacks launched the war (https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/us-israel-iran-attack-03-01-26-intl) with Iran, finds majorities express doubts about President Donald Trump’s handling of the situation. Most say they lack trust in Trump to make the right decisions about US use of force in Iran, with 60% saying they do not think he has a clear plan for handling the situation and 62% saying he should get congressional approval for any further military action.


Just over a quarter (27%) feel that the US made enough of an effort at diplomacy with Iran before using military force, with 39% saying the US did not try hard enough at diplomacy first and 33% unsure.


The poll was conducted Saturday and Sunday, after news reports that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/28/middleeast/obituary-ayatollah-ali-khamenei-hnk-intl), Iran’s supreme leader, had died in the attacks and largely before reports emerged of the deaths of six US troops (https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/01/world/video/three-us-troops-killed-iran-operation-digvid).


Overall, 59% of Americans disapprove of the initial decision to strike Iran, with 41% approving. Strong disapproval (31%) roughly doubles strong approval (16%). A marginally higher share (44%) say they favor the US trying to overthrow the Iranian government, with 56% opposed to that.


Just 12%, though, would favor sending US ground troops into Iran, while 60% would oppose it and 28% are unsure.

Holy Shit. Markets are crashing. Just a freaking sea of red.

Yes, I agree. You should go further though and blame the entire system. Biden was literally arming Israel during the war with Gaza. So it doesn't matter who is in power. We get dragged in either way. This is of course much bigger but I don't really doubt Biden would be more than willing to do something similar had he still been in power.Did Biden launch a war against Iran only because Israel was going to do it?

No.

Your whataboutism doesn't work here.

Kash Patel Fired Entire Team of Iran Experts Right Before Trump’s War

Kash Patel baselessly fired an elite team of agents specializing in foreign threats from the Middle East just days before Donald Trump launched an illegal military campaign in Iran.

Patel terminated a dozen employees and staff after accusing them—without providing evidence—of improperly investigating Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence. The FBI director specifically gutted a group known as CI-12, a counterintelligence unit tasked with monitoring threats from Iran and its proxies. Days later, Trump toppled Iran’s regime and sparked a sprawling regional conflict in the Middle East.

The targeting of this global espionage team was first reported on by The New York Sun.

It’s not surprising that the members of CI-12 were involved in investigating Trump for holding onto classified documents after he left the White House in 2020. CI-12 is charged with media leaks and the mishandling of classified documents, and the documents found at Trump’s estate reportedly included U.S. military plans for Iran.

netted out, a logistics command got left somewhat unprotected against a UAV attack -- "a squirter, " like Hegseth says -- and six US troops died


Pentagon officials did not provide specifics on the circumstances that lead to the deaths, but during a press conference Monday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said a projectile had made it through air defenses and struck a fortified U.S. military position.Hegseth did not disclose the facility’s location, but reporting by the Washington Post indicated the casualties occurred in Kuwait.

“You have air defenses and lots coming in, and you hit most of it, and we absolutely do — we have incredible air defenders. Every once in a while, you might have one, unfortunately — we call it a ‘squirter’ — that makes its way through, and in that particular case, it hit a tactical operations center,” Hegseth said.

I guess Trump's out loud (not sure he's wise to volunteer it in public) courtship of Kurds partially answers the question of how he means to control facts on the ground in Iran

Air dominance has not resulted in regime change hitherto in recorded history, whether it will be accomplished with moar US troops in theater remains to be seen

it will be interesting to see how numerous Trump's insurgent Kurds really are and what they do when they get there, if they do get there

The widely mentioned "weeks, not months" duration of the operation does not necessarily suggest sustained support will continue to flow as in wartime to the insurgent forces

US air defenses may not be able to intercept many of Iran’s one-way drones

...
The drones, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine acknowledged, are posing a bigger problem than anticipated, two sources in the briefing told CNN. They are known to fly low and slow – a feature that makes them more able to evade air defenses than ballistic missiles. Another source familiar with the briefing said the officials made an attempt to downplay concerns about the drones and noted that Gulf state partners had been stockpiling interceptors.

The officials were on the Hill briefing lawmakers as the war with Iran escalates, threatening to spark a global energy crisis and destabilize the Middle East. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that most of Iran’s military installations have been “knocked out” and that new strikes have targeted Iranian leadership.

The officials, a source familiar with the briefing told CNN, were dismissive of questions about how the US would prevent Iran from becoming a failed state, and they said that regime change was an ancillary goal. In their presentation to lawmakers, they reiterated Trump’s recently laid out goals: to destroy Iran’s missile capabilities, its navy, end its nuclear weapon ambitions and stop the country from arming militant groups.
