Trump needs to be associated with strong men because he isn’t one. Right now the draw of Netanyahu is stronger than Putin. But Trump is driven by his need for narcissistic supply so don’t expect him to be loyal to Bibi when circumstances change. He’ll simply head off to wherever he can get his next ego-stroking fix.

It's easy to be strong when you're thousands of miles away from the sharp end

Looks like Iran daren't do anything to the USA, so have bombed Israel even more in defiance of the instruction by Trump to cease.

Trump is bound to react in some way...

Qatar said it has shut down airspace temporarily as part of measures taken amid developments in the region, a statement by the Qatari foreign ministry said on X.

It said the move comes to ensure safety of residents and visitors.

The shutdown of Qatari airspace comes as Iran repeated earlier threats to retaliate against the United States after strikes on its nuclear sites.

Handy hint - if you’re going to bomb Uranium Enrichment sites, don’t announce it in advance…

Where is the stockpile of already enriched uranium now?

We don’t know. IAEA director-general Rafael Mariano Grossi told CNN that “Iran has made no secret that they have protected this material”, and later he confirmed to The New York Times that this meant he believed the material – compact enough to fit in a fleet of cars – had been moved from the Esfahan site.

Satellite images taken last Thursday – two days before the US strike – also revealed there were 16 cargo trucks lined up along the access road leading to the Fordow complex, although what they were there to do is unknown.

Im no fan of yankland but Iran needs to stay in its lane on this one. Bombing a US base in Qatar is not going to end well for them.

Re: Israel v Iran conflict

The sites that we hit in Iran were totally destroyed, and everyone knows it. Only the Fake News would say anything different in order to try and demean, as much as possible — And even they say they were “pretty well destroyed!” Working especially hard on this falsehood is Allison Cooper of Fake News CNN, Dumb Brian L. Roberts, Chairman of “Con”cast, Jonny Karl of ABC Fake News, and always, the Losers of, again, Concast’s NBC Fake News. It never ends with the sleazebags in the Media, and that’s why their Ratings are at an ALL TIME LOW — ZERO CREDIBILITY!
