Trump to hold meeting with National Security Ccouncil as US sends additional forces to Middle East

Hegseth did not disclose the type or size of the US force that would be sent to the region. But the Reuters news agency reported the movement of a large number of US military refuelling aircraft and an aircraft carrier to the Middle East.

The aircraft carrier, the USS Nimitz, was reported to be leaving the Southeast Asia region after cancelling a scheduled visit to Vietnam and was tracked heading through the Malacca Strait towards the Indian Ocean, according to Marine Traffic, a ship-tracking site.

Four bombs struck the IRIB TV station headquarters and temporarily knocked the station offline

Ummm, my live feed for PressTV has been dead for a while now. Telecommunications have likely been targeted at minimum.

Question, given we know that the US is probably going to join in properly and not just using Iran as a proxy. Is there anyone in the region, who is not already engaged in a war with Israel, who is likely to aid Iran. The follow up to that is there ANY line that could be crossed by Israel or the United States where any of the puppets of the US might consider breaking away a little?

I am only asking because this conflict has now streched my understanding of the region, and regional politics to its limit.

Trump has called for an evacuation of Tehran !!??!?!?!?

Iranian Red Crescent Society said three of its rescuers were killed by an Israeli air strike in northwest Tehran.

“This incident is not only a crime against international humanitarian law but also a blatant attack on humanity and morality,” the organisation said in a statement, adding that the three workers were aiding the wounded in the capital’s Shahid Bagheri district.

Would anyone happen to know how long it takes for Iranian missiles to reach Israel

An opposer of Iran's government posted this on her social networks: she does not follow Netanyahu's instructions to attack her country and goes on to defend the Persian nation.

Translation:

Netanyahu told the people of Iran last night that those who want freedom of dress and independence should separate from Iran and join Israel, create chaos and unrest in the country, and take to the streets so that he can attack their military positions and change the regime for them. But fortunately, even I and my generation, who used to disagree with our government about freedom and demanded freedom of dress, have now changed our minds, and we will not make any moves against our dear country, and we will stand side by side, with or without the hijab, until our last breath for the sake of our dear Iran.
