The United States and Israel have launched an attack on Iran, with explosions heard and seen across Tehran. Several missiles have struck University Street and the Jomhouri area in Tehran, Fars news agency reported. Smoke was seen rising in the city, according to an Al Jazeera correspondent on the ground. A United States official told Al Jazeera that the attacks were carried out as a joint military operation between Israel and the US, which has assembled a vast fleet of fighter jets and warships in the region to try to pressure Iran into a deal over its nuclear programme.

It's so unfair the decomposing orange chomo has never received the Nobel Peace Prize.

Only one in five Americans supported an attack on Iran.

But Trump did it anyways.

MAGA? Hello, MAGA?

Many of you voted for Trump because he said he wouldn't start any wars. You are a bunch of really gullible, dumb morons.

Now he's started a war after pulling out of a nuclear deal that was verified as working as agreed (with 24/7 cameras to monitor enrichment facilities, inspections, and all) and claimed to be "renegotiating" a replacement deal, seeking essentially the same deal he himself ended.

US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) vowed to continue sending billions of dollars of hardworking American taxpayer funds to Israel and to block any legislation that would be harmful to Israel.

Meanwhile, Israelis enjoy world class universal healthcare while we in the US are dealing with austerity measures in our for-profit healthcare system and the ramifications of the "Big Beautiful Bill" (the 'BBB').

USSECSTATE Marco Rubio, the very definition of an 'Empty Suit,' was vetted for his prestigious and powerful position by none other than mega-oligarch Larry Ellison, based on his fealty to Israel. The good-for-nothing Larry Ellison is close friends with the nefarious ICC-indicted war criminal Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

Charles Schumer More Loyal to Israel Than to the US

Who's in charge of America?

Marco Rubio Loyal to Israel

Dummkopf Trumpf, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Russia President Vladimir Putin are all three bloodthirsty warmongers. American candidates from either party that didn't oppose this act of war will not get the vote of the crucial antiwar bloc on the imminent primary election days or Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

How does attacking Iran lower food or pharmacy prices in the US?

How does this attack on Iran, without a Congressional Declaration of War, help a firefighter in California, a school teacher in Brooklyn, a musician in Austin Texas, a homeless person in Michigan, a farmer in Iowa, a biologist in Madison, a GSA police officer in Washington, a patient who can't afford his medical bill in Indiana, a truck driver in Georgia, a dance performer in Las Vegas, a mother of three in Atlanta working two jobs to put food on the table, an auto mechanic in Kansas, or a dentist in Oregon?

How?
