Israel’s military sounded air raid sirens across the country ‘to prepare the public for the possibility of missiles being launched toward Israel’ in retaliation

Israel says it has launched a “preventative” strike on Iran and is preparing for retaliation.

On Friday, Donald Trump said he had not made a final decision on whether to launch US strikes on Iran – but added he was “not happy” with the situation, and that military force, including regime change, remained an option.

    In a video posted on Truth Social, Trump has told the Islamic Revolutionary Guard to lay down their arms, saying “You will be treated fairly with total immunity or you will face certain death.”

    Trump has accused Iran of developing long range missiles that threaten the US and others.

    He said the US will “raze their missile industry to the ground” and “annihilate their navy”.

      So uh isn’t the Islamic Republican Guard responsible for the extremely brutal response to the recent civillian protests?
      And even a few days ago would enter hospitals to further injure and abuse said protesters now in hospital, also prevent doctors from treating them?

      They get total immunity?

      That only makes sense if he’s planning on an occupation. That’s insane.

        That’s insane.

        If you expect anything else from this regime, you haven’t been paying attention.

          If you expect anything else from any US regime, you haven’t been paying attention. This is exactly what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan before puppet governments were installed.
