I like that Trump does not make threats, he gives an ultimatum, and then acts accordingly. Trump's words in his Truth Social post say it all. And the former leader in exile, Reza Pahlavi, also is clear in his response. This is about returning the nation of Iran to its people, from whom it was stolen 47 years ago. And ending the islamic nuclear threat.

The people of Iran are celebrating their freedom today.

In 1979 I was an expatriate working for a US company in Asia. It was horrifying to see the US allow the hostage taking in Tehran. And as the mother of a former Marine, the 1983 bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut was another atrocity. The President cited the other many examples of Iranian aggression since the Islamic extremists started controlling the country. US action is long, long overdue- especially with the prospect of the Iranians providing a small nuclear weapon to terrorists who could load it on a boat and detonate it in NY Harbor, for example. The aggression was never going to stop and given the weak response from the US over the last decades the Iranians had every reason to believe they could escalate with impunity. And if anyone thinks ANY agreement with the Iranians would have been anything more than the Iranians buying time to prepare for more aggression, they are hopelessly naive. As far as I am concerned, every American should be standing up and cheering!!

I think you hit the nail on the head. They have acted badly unabated since taking the hostages. They talk out of both sides of their mouth, telling us and the world one thing and quietly doing the opposite! Good riddance!

Thanks for your take. Let's pray this ends well, for both the U.S. and the Iranian people.

Stay on task, Captain. I'm tired of seeing distractions block reform progress. Praying for you.

I'm seeing sources saying on Feb 27, the day before the strike, Iran had agreed to no nuclear weapons. (These sources need to be further vetted.) But it seems clear it wasn't about just nuclear weapons, it is about Iran's missiles. And now, on Tuesday we have a blood moon. Look it up. It can have apocalyptic significance to Muslims. And not just any Muslims. These are Persians who have a history as ancient as Israel. Too often we underestimate our enemies and misunderstand their cultural identity. Here we go!

The Mullahs were never going to agree to a deal, they have used delay tactics for many years. Their bluff has been called.

I guess we'll see how it works out this time, eh?

I believe the military buildup should have started immediately after the uprisings gathered steam.

I see only three options. Boots on the ground. The regime survives. Or the Persians rise up and seize power from the Mullahs.

I'm concerned that they won't have the courage to do so after tens of thousands of them have been murdered.

The third option is what will happen, no doubt.

Agee that we don't want a prolonged conflict anywhere in the world. But... we were not at war with Iran post 9/11 yet they found ways to kill and maim our guys in Iraq and Afghanistan. That always pissed me off and I was dumbfounded as to why we didn't retaliate.

This kinetic action is necessary and hopefully ends all the hairball, mouth breathers that have had their way unimpeded. Let's get in, decimate their ability to continue as was and get out.

Depending on how the IRGC responds (outward in vengeance or inward to retain the state) this may be an indication of prophecy fulfilled: https://foursignposts.com/

In either case, pray for the people involved, on our side and theirs, from the leaders to the cannon fodder, that they repent and seek to do God's will.

Agree with all your points, Seth. I trust Trump to do a surgical strike of some kind and keep our military off of Iranian ground. This is the fight of the Iranian people, help them, use the "Discombobulator" and get the hell out.

hope you are praying for protection and a place of refuge. I can see Dimitri Dudamon's prophecy waiting in the wings. He prophesied US cities attacked and burning cities...... A just God will return blood for blood. "In one day America will burn". Woe to you that cry for blood.

This 2ioni$t orchestrated war by a lying snake controlled by satanyahoo contrary to his campaign promises.
