re: Possible theory on why Trump decided to bomb Iran

That’s not why he did it.

He did it because it needed to be done. It takes away all of the power from the regime. They have nothing to bargain with. They have nothing to deter further attacks. Regime change is extremely likely

Trump like every other President is Israel’s stooge. That is why

We used bunker busters. Those are not nukes.

No shite man. That’s the whole point of the post

Trump decided to do it now because if it was going to be done it had to be done now.

He did to to stop Iran from getting a nuke. Just like he's been saying since 2011. This isn't 4d chess, this is an American President keeping the world safe.

What a load of crap

Lol that's some good copium brother.


It's muh 4-D chess!

The Iranian ballistic missile program needs to be destroyed. The Iranian drone program needs to be destroyed. The Iranian navy needs to be destroyed.

its not 4D anything, if the Iran nuclear program is a unifying factor behind Bbi, then that took a big hit tonight. this is good read

Netanyahu’s political woes take back seat as critics unite behind him over Iran

PM also sees surge in polls, with ruling Likud the largest party after strikes in Iran, although coalition would fail by far to get a majority if elections were held today

Israel’s military assault on Iran has united much of the nation after a period of bitter divisions over the government’s judicial overhaul and the war against Hamas in Gaza, transforming the political landscape overnight as even Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s foes close ranks behind him.

Most Israelis support using force to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, polling shows, despite retaliatory Iranian missile strikes that have killed 24 civilians and put normal life on hold.

“Netanyahu made a really difficult decision. On the topic of Iran, right now he is doing the right thing,” Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman, a hawkish former defense minister who fell out with Netanyahu and quit his government in 2018, told Reuters.

Netanyahu would ultimately be judged on whether Israel succeeded in removing Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities, but for now, things were going well, he said.

At a different point of the political spectrum, centrist National Unity party chairman Benny Gantz, who walked out of Netanyahu’s war cabinet a year ago over disagreements about Gaza, was similarly supportive.

The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 55,000 people in the Strip have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting so far, though the toll cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters.

Israel says it has killed some 20,000 combatants in battle as of January and another 1,600 terrorists inside Israel during the October 7 onslaught. Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques.

Israel’s toll in the ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza and in military operations along the border with the Strip stands at 433. The toll includes two police officers and three Defense Ministry civilian contractors.

Netanyahu has been unpopular throughout the war, but a poll released by the Channel 13 news network Wednesday night found his ruling Likud party gaining strength, although his coalition still fell far short of a majority in the Knesset.

According to the survey, which asked respondents which party they would vote for if elections were held today, Netanyahu’s Likud party climbed to 27 seats, from 24 in a poll conducted by the network last week, before the war.

Netanyahu’s coalition bloc received 50 seats in the poll, far short of a majority in the 120-seat Knesset. Opposition parties received 60 seats, and the Arab-led parties 10. Arab majority parties have traditionally shunned coalitions, though the Islamist Ra’am broke that trend when it joined a Bennett-led coalition in 2021-2022.

Former prime minister Naftali Bennett’s newly formed faction, temporarily named Bennett 2026, dropped from 27 seats to 24, losing the top spot.
