Asked if US will strike Iran, Trump says, ‘I may do it, I may not do it’

The US president has been speaking to reporters on the lawn of the White House.

Asked if the US was moving closer to striking Iranian nuclear facilities, Trump replied: “I can’t say that … You don’t seriously think I’m going to answer that question.”

“You don’t know that I’m going to even do it. You don’t know. I may do it, I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do,” he said.

“I can tell you this – Iran’s got a lot of trouble, and they want to negotiate. And I said, ‘Why didn’t you negotiate with me before – all this death and destruction.’ Why didn’t you negotiate? I said to the people, ‘Why didn’t you negotiate with me two weeks ago? You could have done fine. You would have had a country.'”

Good. Meta/Facebook is a DARPA project and an official DOD contractor. Whatsapp is 100% a honeypot.

According to the WSJ, the Missiles that the Iron Dome, davids sling and other Air Defence systsms uses are in short suply, and the US does not have a sufficent backlog to give to Israel

They didn't have near enough AD for the Ukrainazis, Israel must have been stockpiling for a long time. Fortunately our Iranian comrades were even busier 🚀 🚀 🚀

Real shit

Though expecting Turkey to side with anti-imperialism is highly naïve

Not expecting much from a NAFO country.

—❗️🇮🇷/🇮🇱 Washington Post: 'Israel will only be able to maintain shooting down Iranian ballistic missiles for 10 or 12 more days, then they will need to start rationing munitions'

This could explain why Iran is opting to launch small but consecutive waves. Iran is likely using up some of their older / less sophisticated missiles to deplete Israeli defenses, to make way for the 'real' stuff later on. This is attritional warfare.

In most cases, a small wave of 3-5 Iranian ballistic missiles is enough to prompt the launch of about 10-15 Israeli interceptor missiles, with each one costing at least $12 million dollars (in the case of THAAD).

In contrast, even Iran's most modern missile, the Fattah-1, only costs about $200,000 to produce, according to the IRGC. If we assume 12 interceptors for one Fattah-1 missile (as seen in a video today), that means Israel is spending $144 million dollars to 'intercept' (not always successfully) a single Iranian hypersonic missile.

This is simply not sustainable. Within about two weeks, if Iran keeps up the current pace of fire, Israeli airspace will be at the mercy of Iran's far larger and more destructive solid fuel bsllistic missiles. Unless, of course, the U.S. intervenes directly.

The US has shown recently it cannot even really hold its own in wars of attrition, so I think even with US suport, short of a nuke Iran has the edge, my worry is if the US either uses a nuke or is some how able to blitz
