More airstrikes by both US and Iran, with Iran now firing on Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait. US trying to take out bridges and roads that lead to an Iranian port.
Obviously the Ceasefire is long gone, and I don't think we'll see peace anytime soon. And price of oil and gas on the rise....again. What did "The Smartest President ever" say about this?
"In an address to the American public on Thursday evening, Trump insisted the war was going well. "We are likewise winning big in Iran, and you will see the fruits of that labor very, very shortly," he said."
 
I'm sorry, but I think I've seen this rerun too many times since February 28. Even with an MOU and a Ceasefire, Iran still fired at ships sailing through a Strait they now claim is 100% theirs to control.
I'm at the point where I feel Iran will never agree to give up controlling the Strait, or give up the ability to enrich uranium, no matter what they say it's used for.
It's time this TACO President to stop being nice, and get together with his War Department generals (leave Hegseth out, he's useless) and plan an invasion to take out the regime. Yes, boots on the ground will cost American lives. But make sure Benji of Israel helps out instead of bombing Gaza and Lebanon because he feels like it.

Netanyahu arrives in DC tomorrow for a meeting with Trump on Monday. STAY TUNED.

No surprise here, but Iran blaming the US is fruitless because Iran fired on ships trying navigate the Strait of Hormuz AFTER they agreed to allow passage without tolls.

Several dozen more US refueler planes are on their way to Israel where they will be based. They will join 30 or so other refuelers there. The US thinks that is a much safer place to be than our bases in Qatar etc. They will wait for Trumps expected orders on Monday or Tuesday.They will be parked at Ben Gurion Airport.Which is the main commercial airport in Israel.
Now here is the kicker. An Israeli election is going to be held in October. With the planes parking at Ben Gurion Airport which will become full. Charters coming from abroad to bring Israelis home to vote will have no where to park. Some commercial flights, from New York and Miami, will also not be able to land. Read between the lines.Does it sound familiar?

"Meanwhile, a senior Iranian official told Drop Site News that Iran had informed Vice President JD Vance that Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff were more interested in exploiting insider knowledge of the ceasefire negotiations to potentially profit than they were in reaching a deal. Iran provided Drop Site written documentation of evidence that Kushner and Witkoff were using diplomatic developments to manipulate financial markets. The White House flatly denied the allegations."

It seems no matter what news source you look at...the message is the same.
 
We're BACK at War with Iran. Don't let any WH or Republican propaganda try to tell us it's not a war.

My opinion alone, and no one else. And should Democrats encourage the President to finish the job he said he was going to do back in late February/Early March?

Netanyahu has postponed his trip to DC. The reason given was the postponement of Lindsey Grahams funeral. No one really believes that especially since a recent phone call wth Trump.

Spending trillions of dollars on a war that never should have happened. Asking for more money for future bombing, fighting, rebuilding, and replenishing supplies. But we never have the funding to help the middle class and lower income Americans. This is something that every voter in America needs to think about during future elections of politicians. There is a BETTER WAY!
