The US and Israel launched strikes on Iran Saturday morning after what the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said was months of "close and joint planning." The US military is also planning for several days of attacks, according to two sources. US President Donald Trump described the military campaign as "massive and ongoing," adding American lives may be lost as a result. Trump also advocated for regime change, calling on Iranians to "take over your government." He also accused Tehran of working to rebuild its nuclear program after massive US strikes last summer he previously claimed had obliterated the facilities. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it has fired the "first wave" of large-scale missile and drone attacks towards Israel. There are reports of multiple explosions in Dubai and also in Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, all of which have US bases.

The attack on Iran is just one more feature of Trump's aggression against the United States. He doesn't want to conquer Iran nearly as much as he wants to conquer us.

You MAGA based your movement on the twin pillars of Jeffrey Epstein and no foreign wars.

We expect to see you out in the streets with us now, and when Trump attempts to steal the election in nine months.

Expect Trump to lie about American casualties, just as Bush II did during his own war of choice.
