President Donald Trump said the US military struck three Iranian nuclear sites as the United States entered the conflict between Israel and Iran, raising fears of a wider war in the Middle East.

Israel and Iran traded new missile attacks early on June 22, in the hours after the US strikes, and Iran’s foreign minister said Tehran “reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest, and people” following what he described as an “outrageous” step by the United States.

Several world leaders called for a renewal of negotiations, with some in the West stressing that Iran must not acquire nuclear weapons, and the UN chief cautioned of a “growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control.”

Trump announced what he called a “spectacular military success” on June 21, saying US bombers hit nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan in a joint effort with Israel to destroy Iran’s nuclear program after diplomacy failed to get Tehran to return to the negotiating table.

    it was just a matter of when. Democrats are not your saviors. They are incentivized to leave things shitty to force voters’ hands and make the illusion that they’re doing the right thing and have a choice. Israel and Iran have been going at it off and on for decades. One 4 year presidential term wouldn’t have ended this.

      I agree that they’re not an amazing choice, but if you think democrats and Republicans are equal in their actions you’re delusional.

        they may not be equal but the absolute dogshit term of biden was likely the reason we got trump. he was cheering netanyahu when israel was murdering kids with our bombs or when inflation was out of control because of the megacorp greed. then we have likes of schumer and pelosi who control dnc. one acts like a mossad agent and other only has time for insider trading and lobbying for bigtech.

        they are equal in action, but unequal in performance and marketing. ie: dems still supported a genocide. reps do too. dems still ICE’d without due process but reps do it with expressed outward intent as if they were salesmen.

        Then why is the DNC not pushing back on Trump’s, by his own admission, war? Why are they saying exactly nothing about the genocide in Gaza? If they had any issue with these things, we’d have heard it. I mean hell, Barack “hope and change” Obama had the chance to end the war on terror and he just… didn’t. If you think imperialism is a partisan issue in American politics you should take a long hard look at the history of your country, because that shit is fucking ugly and it doesn’t get prettier with the blue oligarchs in charge.
