This is a war most US allies in the region don't support.

The UK has banned the US using the air bases Diego Garcia and RAF Fairford for attacks on Iran.

Saudia Arabia told the US its air space as well military bases are off limits, as did UAE, Qatar and Oman.

Iran has created and trained asymmetrical tactics of destroying American super carriers since decades by now. Probably we might see now some of them in action.

Great, another war for Netanyahu. He has gotten everything his black heart desires from Trump.

U.S. President Donald Trump has appealed to the Iranian people to “take over your government.”

We'd like to do the same.

I just learned the Pentagon is calling this "Operation Epic Fury." Israel is using "Operation Lion’s Roar."

Iran reports 108 children dead after US-Israeli strike hits girls’ school - Türkiye Today

The attack came as Israel and the United States carried out joint strikes

www.turkiyetoday.com

Iran’s official news agency IRNA said a primary school was targeted in a U.S.-Israeli strike in the city of Minab. Early assessments initially put the death toll at five schoolgirls.

Iran state television later reported that at least 40 schoolgirls were killed in the attack on Shajarat al-Tayyiba Girls Primary School in Minab.

Kill them before they're old enough to build a nuclear weapon. Great strategy...

It was an award designed specifically for Trump. Who else could they give it to...

OK, so what idiot didn't read the implicit "FAFO" sign that hangs over all nuclear powers?

I bet they'll never give out another one again except maybe to Trump again if he's still in office next year. It was such a silly, but effective bribe.

The Guardian reports

The US president has been speaking to US media, in which he appears to back up Israeli reports that Iran’s supreme leader was killed in airstrikes today.

Donald Trump addressed reports that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed, telling NBC News: “We feel that that is a correct story.”

I thought facts don't care about your feelings, but anyway...

 

[Bartholomew Gallacher]

BTW the congress was never asked as required by the consitution again, right?

 

[Bartholomew Gallacher]

Iran officially confirmed the death of its leader Khamenei. So this has now the potential of Iran going fully unhinged and maximum escalation.

Iran is now blocking the passage of the street of Hormus, where normally about 20% of the global oil is being exported by tankers.

So we can expect a rise in fuel prices.

World’s Largest US Aircraft Carrier USS Gerald R. Ford Battles Massive Toilet Failure Amid Iran Tensions

Marine Insight - The maritime industry guide.

www.marineinsight.com

The US Navy’s largest and most expensive aircraft carrier, USS Gerald R. Ford, is facing persistent sewage system failures as it heads toward the Middle East amid rising US-Iran tensions.

The $13 billion nuclear-powered warship has been at sea since June 2025 and is now in its eighth month of deployment, longer than the typical six-month rotation.

While Washington builds one of its largest naval forces in the region in decades, more than 4,500 sailors onboard are dealing with a far more immediate problem: hundreds of non-functioning toilets.

Apologies for the shitpost.
