Israel launches attack on Iran | US bombs Iran nuke sites

Trump’s Iran Choice: Last-Chance Diplomacy or a Bunker-Busting Bomb​

Iranian officials have warned that U.S. participation in an attack on its facilities will imperil any chance of the nuclear disarmament deal the president insists he is still interested in pursuing.



“… “Fordo has always been the crux of this thing,” said Brett McGurk, who worked on Middle East issues for four successive American presidents, from George W. Bush to Joseph R. Biden Jr. “If this ends with Fordo still enriching, then it’s not a strategic gain.”

That has been true for a long time, and over the past two years the U.S. military has refined the operation, under close White House scrutiny. The exercises led to the conclusion that one bomb would not solve the problem; any attack on Fordo would have to come in waves, with B-2s releasing one bomb after another down the same hole. And the operation would have to be executed by an American pilot and crew. …”

But we are cool with North Korea?

I would prefer they didn't have one but, unlike Iran and other Islamist countries, Kim jong-un is not anxious to die as a martyr, nor has he repeatedly made it clear that he intends to wipe another country off the planet.

Do the North Koreans have a charter that calls for the destruction of Israel? Do they chant death to Israel? Do they teach their kids to hate Israel? Do they fund proxies all over the world that kill Jews?

As I've said, too many people (especially Democrats) ignore the religious aspect of this situation....

Funny, you ignore all of these things when Israelis say about their neighbors. Or is that just self defense?
 

Trump Will Not Sign G7 Statement on Iran and Israel, Official Says​

A White House official said President Trump had decided not to sign onto a statement drafted for Group of 7 allies that urges restraint from both Israel and Iran, which have been trading attacks for days.


“… President Trump has decided not to sign onto a statement calling for de-escalation between Iran and Israel that is being prepared by the Group of 7 industrialized nations, according to a White House official, the first evidence of an ongoing rift between Mr. Trump and his fellow leaders gathered for a summit in Alberta, Canada.

The official, who asked for anonymity to discuss the joint statement, which has not been released publicly, did not say why the president was opposed to signing. A copy of the draft statement, which was obtained by The New York Times, urges both Israel and Iran to halt attacks on one another that have killed dozens of people in both countries over the past several days.…”

Not that I'm aware of.

Even if he has spouted off, there's reason to believe that a theocratic lunatic is more likely to do something.

Kim Jong Un has repeatedly threatened to destroy South Korea and the US. Like on the regular. And there is no one in North Korea who could talk sense into him. And North Korea is a hell of a lot closer to the US.

Will a MOAB do it? I was under the impression that it was going to take a BB to get through the 50 meters of concrete.
