What is your opinion on the American and Israeli strikes on Iran?


I agree with the final paragraph in this Wall Street Journal editorial.
Trump Enforces His Red Line on Iran
His war aims suggest a long campaign that could topple the regime.

...
Mr. Trump didn’t begin a war on Saturday. He is fighting back against an Iranian regime that has been waging war against the U. S., Israel and the West for decades. The threat is the regime itself, and let’s hope it falls.
=========
That said, I think that Trump should have asked for a declaration of war. Presidents are supposed to do that and they don't really do that anymore - not in my lifetime.
People will be pretty afraid to stand up to our government now won’t they? There will be no rednecks in the hills standing on their morals to come and save us or anyone now.
The government has proved it can and will do whatever the hell it wants. From Venezuela to Iran in the last 3 months. They have 10s of thousands of satellites, giant missile stock piles, sonic/focuses frequency modulation and peojection weapons, emp shielded-autonomous (no guidance required) drone swarms, sonic weapons, biological warfare (lab made deployment ready viruses for all sorts inflictions), and state of the art propaganda bolstered by AI equipped with quantum computation processors, combined with drugged food water and air, over prescribed psych meds, and things like the MAID program - legal medical assisted suicide, thats what we have going against us Benny the Rats here in Universe 25.
Just vote harder. Not even a bunch of well placed snipers doing a coordinated assault could set them back just a few days, nothing but a divine intervention from God can stop these psychopaths from getting what in the hell ever it is they want.
Iran changed strategy it seems and didn't make a huge barrage on Israel but punishes US allies in region for allowing US to attack Iran from their country. Of course US will promise money and compensation for damages Iran did and will do, but we all know US and Israel are liars. This will lead that next time those countries will think twice if they allow US use their bases to attack Iran.
I guess next step of escalation will be oil and gas installations close to coast. Those installation are exposed to drones and cruise missiles. However I think it's not in interest of China who is practically number one technology and weapons delivery for Iran. Since Russia has its own troubles an their S-300, S-400 Air defense system are a ineffective are deep strikes with Chinese hyper sonic missiles the most effective response for Iran.
Not to forget there is brand new high capacity Railway connection between China and Iran. If Israel or US bombs parts of this railway infrastructure on Iranian soil it's possible Iran will attack oil infrastructure of countries who allow US forces to operate from their soil.

Iran has been the world's leading sponsor of terrorism and probably also the greatest nuclear threat. Ignoring Iran would have been a fatal error.
Ignoring John Bolton’s Mustache on John McCain is fatal error
@wkhan_87 All old men with riches beyond your imagination who command entire militaries and send them to fight in their friend’s/mutual allies wars that are thousands upon thousands of miles away from the common folk’s homes in what is effectively their kingdoms are terrorists commanding nothing but slaves or mercenaries, but this is especially true when they kill women, non-combatants, and children out off pure spite, greed, and negligence - and then chalk it up as acceptable casualties of war. For most of the bronze age people fought with more honor and dignity than we do today. Granted, they would often take women and kids as slaves after victory there to be more honesty and fairness, especially when the kings would lead from the font.
There is no benevolent government
It is risky. But then so is letting Iran have nuclear weapons. So far so good. Iranian leadership appears to have sustained major losses but more confirmation is needed. Three Iranian meetings were underway during the attack. This explains the daytime attack along with the element of surprise since we tend to attack at night. And tonight, it will be a long night. For the next 2 weeks it seems Iran will be even further degraded.
All that said, the Iranians need to rise up and take their country. But a lot of them have been killed over the past month. If we don’t send troops, and I hope we don’t AND they don’t collapse or enter a Civil War, then we will have a choice to make. I think the best course of action at that point is to bomb their infrastructure such as water, electric, and any form of major trade. If we don’t have regime change at that point, then take out their bridges, fuel, anything that makes life modern.
I am glad Trump isn't trying to bring Democracy. That would be preferred but we primarily want them to stop pursuing nuclear weapons and funding terrorists. They will stop or they will be crippled and starved.
They haven't been pursing nuclear weapons. That's what Israel says lol. Before we bombed them last year and this year.
The strikes came shortly after Iran reportedly agreed during talks in Geneva to never stockpile enriched uranium, a move the Omani foreign minister called a “major breakthrough” but we bombed them anyway. Israel has nukes, a great army, and a lot of our money. They can fight this themselves. We're not getting anything out of this. This is just like Iraq. They didn't have nukes and neither does Iran.
@Friendlybro79 But they are developing nuclear weapons. Anyway, we get a more peaceful region. And bonus points if the government is changed to a friendly one, Russia and China lose another Allie. They already abandoned Venezuela.
@Jersey2 What the facts show:
✓ U. S. intelligence (2025) concluded Iran is NOT building a nuclear weapon
✓ Iran suspended its weapons program back in 2003
✓ Yes, Iran enriches uranium — but that's not the same as building a bomb
✓ The IAEA has inspected Iran's nuclear sites
✓ Iran was in active diplomatic talks as of Feb 26, 2026 — discussing its program
The timeline that matters:
2018: U. S. withdraws from the nuclear deal
Iran responds by enriching uranium beyond deal limits
Feb 2025 & Feb 2026: U. S./Israel bomb Iran anyway
Feb 26, 2026: Iran offers international inspections
Feb 28, 2026: U. S./Israel bomb Iran mid-negotiation
Bottom line: Our government's intelligence said Iran wasn't building a bomb. They bombed them anyway — while diplomacy was still happening.
That's the fact. Everything else is opinion.
@Friendlybro79 and yet they won’t stop their program. Wonder why? :D What will they do with all that weapons grade uranium? Not many uses for it, especially for a country with so much oil.
@Jersey2 Iran hasn't stopped enriching uranium but that doesn't mean they're building a bomb. Enriched uranium has civilian uses, like fueling nuclear power plants. Iran has a civilian nuclear program and it's been under IAEA inspection.
The main reason Iran continues enriching is not to build weapons, but to protect its sovereignty. After the U. S. withdrew from the 2015 deal and reimposed sanctions, Iran had no choice but to respond and enriching uranium is a way to maintain leverage in negotiations.
They could use that uranium for weapons but they'd have to reconfigure their entire program, which would be obvious to the world. The IAEA would detect it. And the U. S. and Israel would know which is why Iran has not done it.
So the real question isn't what will they do with the uranium it's why are we bombing a country that's already offered to be inspected?
If Iran wanted a bomb, they'd have one by now. The fact that they haven't and that they keep offering inspections suggests they're not trying to build one.
Peace isn't about who has the most weapons. It's about trust, diplomacy, and respecting international law.
@Friendlybro79 i am not going to beat my head against the wall arguing with you. An oil rich nation doesn’t need nuclear power plants.
@Jersey2 You don't have to beat your head against anything. I'm just giving you facts with timelines. You are speculating and haven't provided any evidence other than what you've been told their intentions are... You can't be like... It's obvious bro just trust me... Here's more facts. I'd like to start with something I agree with you on.
You’re right that an oil rich nation doesn’t need nuclear power plants for energy but that’s not why Iran built them
Iran’s nuclear program began in the 1950s long before sanctions and was originally supported by the U. S. under the Atoms for Peace program
After the 1979 revolution Iran continued the program partly to diversify its energy sources partly for prestige and partly to ensure energy security if oil exports were ever cut off
But more importantly nuclear power plants are not the same as nuclear weapons
Iran has civilian reactors like Bushehr which are under IAEA inspection
Building a bomb requires a completely different setup and Iran has not done that according to U. S. intelligence
So even if Iran didn’t need nuclear power it’s still not evidence of a weapons program
And bombing a country that’s offering inspections while claiming it’s building a bomb doesn’t make sense if your own intelligence says otherwise
Let’s focus on facts not assumptions
I’m cautiously optimistic about it. I believe that Iran will become a democracy because they know they now have an opportunity that they never believed they would see, and they will die to keep it. America once went cap in hand to the French to assist in throwing off the Tyranny of the British. The people of Iran did the same thing with us.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.——That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,——That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
I grew up in the middle east and lived my whole life under the looming threat of a proxy war between Iran and Israel.
I’m not a fan of either side.
But Iran have gone out of their way to sow corruption in my country and bring it to its knees for decades on end.
We used to pray for days like this.
So I’m overjoyed to watch that vile regime crumble into dust in my lifetime.
There were days when that felt like a pipe dream
I don’t live there anymore but my family does and I’m excited about the potential future they can expect now that the power has decisively shifted.
Israel is still a high risk danger but there’s still a chance they cool their jets now that the main threat has been dealt with
My opinion is that Democrats will cry while Iranians celebrate and America fucks up the leadership, the military, and nuclear program leaving the country free to the people whom are majority non-Muslim at this point. The Democrats will try to prop up an Islamic dictator and theocracy, while the Iranians fight for their freedom and the American military makes that possible. It will highlight how Democrats hate freedom, other cultures, and America and they support dictatorships and oppression.
Two sides of the same little saint james island
@MikeMcMansion You think the United States military and the Democrats are two sides of the same little Saint James Island? smh
they all need to be exterminated
@MikeMcMansion So you think you have what it takes to fight the most powerful military the world has ever seen... I'll let you in on a little secret. That's a fight you're going to lose.
No I already fought for them. No one can win this one.
Another senseless war that Trump said he wouldn't get us into because Israel said so. Get money out of politics and stop voting for people that take money from AIPAC. Israel the only one with a nuke in the middle east, an iron dome, a fantastic army, is always threatened by people that have no nukes, or militias at best, kill more civilians than anyone else in the middle east, and we freaking align with them as a country. We get nothing in return for this and I don't want my frigging tax dollars funding Israel's wars.
If this were part of an actual, long-planned regime change, then there would be something very good in it for the Iranian people. However, given the incompetence and shortsightedness of Trump, Kegstand, Noem... etc. I highly doubt there is really such planning behind it.
How do you know what is good for the Iranian people? The Persians have been fighting the hebrews for 3,667.67 years
How do you even know what is “good” and good for people in general? What philosophy to wish to impose by force upon everyone?
I understand Islam has a doctrine of conversion by force, but what alternative do you (or our government) wish to impose? Thats the question we should be asking.
Was this just a global chess/power move, and not much more? They couldn’t have done it without hoodwinking diehard Christian zionists for the last 100 years. I would point out what a completely anti-religious hedonist calculating functioning psychopath Trump has been for most of his life, and then point to Revelations 3:9
Jonestown massacre but on a global scale. These are people in position of power begging, bargaining and with this manufacturer the end times of the Christian Bible called rapture.
Wasn't there a rapture rally last year? September 23ed last year. Giving away there belongings and scripture to help people redeem themselves on this new hell on the earth. They didn't drink the kool-aid bad but waiting for the sky to grab them.
You watching Iceland? Tell the Danes to just hand it over. Canada... are you ready to become the new state "Gay Dakota?" Sorry Cuba... we need a giant golf course... or maybe it will be where we send our Liberals... can't wait to find out.

Iran will be freed... and those holding it hostage... we're gonna kill them... dead.
The truth is... I like it. We finally have a president that is doing the things that must be done. Liberal tears are going to be all over the place about it though and that's just annoying.
Trump was the first presidential candidate to run on legalizing gay marriage
@MikeMcMansion I got nothing against the gays doing their thing... what is the point of that information. Oboma refused gay marriage during his first term and then legalized it so I don't even know if you're running ong facts about Trump being the first.
He pandered for the gay vote is what I meant
@MikeMcMansion Chat GPT, who was president when gay marriage was legalized?
Same-sex marriage was legalized nationwide in the United States on June 26, 2015, when the U. S. Supreme Court decided Obergefell v. Hodges.
The president at that time was Barack Obama.
Important nuance:
It wasn’t legalized by a president signing a bill. It became legal nationwide because the Supreme Court ruled that bans on same-sex marriage violated the Constitution.
If you want, I can also explain how it moved from state-by-state legalization to a nationwide ruling.
@MikeMcMansion I'm sure you have a point... I'm just failing to see it. Is it bad that he did that? I can give you some right wing ammo for that argument... pandered to the Jews too. The far right rips on him for that all the time. But in comparison... give me a POTUS that hasn't pandered at all to rule him against. I can only see how crooked a stick really is by laying it next to the stright one.
I’m tired. You either believe in your theology with a deep spiritual conviction and understand it coherently or you don’t. We can’t rain in our senators and representatives anymore, the commoner to the wealthiest producers of their states and districts are just concerned about the local economy/their personal interests.
An obvious diversion from Trump's being in the Epstein Files. Of course, his groupies will buy them, as they buy everything he does.(This POS Netanyahu is trying to stay in office to avoid a corruption trial, so it's a diversion for him as well.)
Sometimes you libs dig up some stuff or notice some things that are very important, gun rights are still important in fact they are now more than ever, there is no benevolent government out there, there never will be.
It is hard for people like muslims with their believes to coexist with anyone other than muslims. They tend to be fanatical, they tend to be very touchy about their believes and that is a recipe for continuous fighting. There can be no peaceful future with such people in the world. The options are continuous war, or their extinction either through war or conversion to another religion such as Christianity.
The current conflict is an example of what I just said.
Iran should be smashed, Iran should not be allowed to have nukes that's for sure.

"Nobody's right if everybody's wrong."
Extremists in Iran (very many of them) keep shouting "Death to America!"
Well, here I am, right back at them. . .
"DEATH TO IRAN!"
Actually, the U. S. and Israel struck Iran first, not the other way around. Last year’s bombing (Feb 2025) and this year’s strike (Feb 2026) were both initiated by the U. S., even though Iran had just offered to allow international inspections to prove it wasn’t building nukes. Iran’s retaliatory strikes came after those U. S.-led attacks. Iran isn't “the aggressor” here and the fact that the U. S. withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal, which had been working to prevent exactly this kind of escalation is another issue to think of.
You don’t have to agree with Iran’s policies but if we keep bombing people first they're going to say Death to us. Remember when he said no more senseless wars? Well this is exactly that. We don't need to get involved. They don't have Nukes or weapons that can reach the US.
@Friendlybro79
Muslim extremists have been promoting and trying to fulfill "Death to America!" since the '80s.
I understand that and people don't have to like us. So let's say me and you don't like each other. And I say I hope you die (which I don't of course just for the sake of making my point) does that mean you can kill my entire family?
If we keep bombing them it's not going to make them be like oh we love you. They're still going to hate us and we can't bomb everyone into liking us. They don't have WMDs, have never had them, might have tried making them, because Israel has 90 nukes, but they can't defend themselves, and Israel can commit a genocide, and we support Israel.
We're doing this for oil and we take whatever we want when we want it and then expect people to love us. I believe America can and should be better.
How about we let Israel fight their own fight?
@Friendlybro79
I will stand with and for Isreal no matter what.
No matter how many innocent women and children they slaughter? It's sad because Jewish people around the world aren't all in agreement that what Israel is doing is a good thing. They call everyone antisemites who disagree with their government which isna conflating act to give them justification in committing a genocide. Never again meant to anyone. I feel bad for all the good Jewish people around the world who can't stand for this because Netenyahu is going to create more antisemitism when the mostly uneducated people actually conflate Netenyahu's government with Jewish people. It's not right. They don't deserve it. We gotta move past the killing and move more into loving
Sorry for the grammar the first part of my thought didn't come out correctly. I meant that the Israeli government calls everyone an anti Semite if you disagree at all with their government. It's not right to conflate anti semitism with disagreement of their government. Like if I disagree with the president if the US policies, that doesn't mean I'm an anti American
You’re being a female
Feels more about stroking Trumps ego than a long term solution to the middle east problem.
Fuck Israel.
Fuck Satanyahu.
Fuck Zionists and other cockroaches.
Fuck Trump and each of his cabinet members and every single MAGGOT.
Fuck MBS and all the puppet leaders who only care for their rule.
Fuck every Christian who believes what Huckabee believes.
There it is. That's my opinion.
Another failed regime change war, and this time an illegal regime change war. Iraq and Libya are good examples that nothing good ever comes from regime change. Time for us Americans, Republican and Democrat to pressure our members of congress to impeach this illegal war.
The leaders of the USA and Israel are evil, and shouldbe tried, convicted, and executed for their crimes against humanity.
A rogue state on it's way out, we just gave them a shove. Now people in Iran can get back to worrying about schools and road maintenance instead of if they were going to live to see next week.
Not a fan of Iran. But these bombings without Congressional approval has to stop It's unconstitutional
Another example of Israel's murderous nature and complete lack of humanity. And proof that Trump is an Israeli puppet.
Iran was apparently planning to pre-emptively attack and refused to end its nuclear program (even when offered to be supplied nuclear power).
As long as the USA's wars are strictly "defensive" in nature, and as long as the USA's wars are not influenced or dictated by Israel, then OK. As far as Iran is concerned, we should only be eliminating the nuclear threat being imposed on us by them.
business as usual...
so much so that, as expected... Germany, France and the UK already signed up for some of that too
I am always happy to see extremists be killed. It's really that simple. Whether or not it helps we'll see but I am happy. The rare trump W
Definitely Nobel Peace Prize behavior. The Mango Molester needs to be removed by Congress ASAP, along with his entire, war mongering administration full of psychopaths.
It seems like it was coming for a long time but I’m still surprised it escalated so suddenly.
Hopefully it ends quickly and a new government takes over in Iran.
It’s hard to tell.
There isn’t really a clear successor and Khamenei had been in power before most people in Iran were born so it’s hard for them to find someone to take his place.
All the protests should mean the average person is ready for a different government but of course average people don’t get a say there.
I actually have a friend in Iran but I haven’t been able to contact her.
They must have cut the internet again.
It had to be done. Iran will never deal in good faith. They are seeing the FO part of FAFO
I prefer negotiations and peace, but when negotiations fail, military operations are acceptable, to achieve the desired goal.
My opinion? More of the same from the USA military industrial complex.
I do think is a grate thing.
But i become suspicious on Russia, it stay to quiet and don't defend its friends.
Just hoping we didn't just open a hornets next which will end up costing many American lives.
Humans have failed. It's time to let another species dominate the Earth.
These crusades have been underway for a millennium or so. I don't think a dead Ayatollah here or there is going to make much difference.
Natural for America and Israel to make it dk iran can't fire missiles at Israel or US
It sounded like some progress was being made with the talks and diplomacy but Trump was going to do it any way no matter what.
FAFO boy, did they find out? Good old President delivered again. Hopefully, the people have the balls to pick up and start a new people friendly Government.
Illegal. The criminals who ordered it should be in prison.
This spells disaster, not peace. The retribution will be significant...
Completely unnecessary and totally illegal. Trump should be impeached for this.
It is a cowardly terrorism..
America and israhell will pay high for their evility..
It's not really a party till Russia and China join. Then we'll see some fireworks!😆
I support them! Make Iran secular again!
Honestly, no, but we'll at least the sending a message
That this is what happens when they support terror, kill protesters and have an Islamic theocracy
If that is the objective, you will probably end up disappointed. Bombing alone is not enough. Since the First World War, dozens of air campaigns have been carried out, none of which have succeeded in installing more cooperative leaders.
Secondly, you risk creating solidarity among a significant portion of the Iranian people towards the government, even those who do not support it at the grassroots level.
Thirdly, the reality is that if there is a change of regime, you are more likely to end up with a regime that is just as brutal, if not more so, or simply chaos in the country, rather than democracy or at least leaders who are more "aligned with the US".
Historically, YES. But the difference is that here the people actually a say. But yes, the minority always creates issues as they refuse to comprimise.
I know I probably will be disappointed. I usually am with the results of these things
What do YOU think should be done then?
The same justifications as in 2003, and just as fallacious. In 2025, the CIA declared that Iran was not engaged in building a nuclear weapon. Two months later, Trump announced that he had "obliterated" Iran's nuclear programme.
It is paradoxical to put pressure on the Iranians, who signed and implemented an agreement that was violated by... the United States.
OBAMA signed that agreement, not Trump. This is what annoys me about our political system. One president can sign a deal, the next can toss it
The Ayatollah is dead, but they're just gonna elect another one
The Iranians sure are thrilled about it!!!
@julie07 US and Israel are evil warlords.
Better late than never.
Fuck around and find out.
Im ok with it.
The dice has fallen.
The only good Arab...
Good.
I agree with you agape
What about Epstein Files?
destined to happern eventually
Cuba is next.
Absolutely stupid!
Way overdue.
