Statement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio on tonight's Israeli attacks on Tehran:

"Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region. Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defense. President Trump and the Administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners. Let me be clear: Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel.”

As long as we don't get involved, I hope both sides lose.

When you have a capable terrorist country continually threatening you, you must act.

Hard to blame them for taking action.

I think it's pretty clear now why our embassies in the region have been put on alert and partially evacuated.

Good. If Israel is truly a sovereign nation they can decide who they wanna attack and they can deal with any blowback by themselves. No money or weapons or intel from us. We aren't their older brother.

If Israel thought their very existence was in jeopardy, they would attack with or without consent from America or anyone else.

We're all about to find out if Donald Trump has it the pants to keep this country out of another worthless Middle Eastern corporate war.

I don't necessarily see this one escalating but hot wars involving Russia, Iran, and Israel are always a bit concerning.
