Ben Meiselas: 我认为美国已经正式与伊朗开战,加入了以色列的行列。特朗普政府未经国会授权,对伊朗的核设施进行了军事打击,这不仅违反了法律程序,也可能导致中东地区局势的进一步恶化。我担心这场冲突不会很快结束,美国可能会孤军奋战,失去传统盟友的支持。此外,特朗普政府在行动后反而要求伊朗结束战争,这种做法令人费解,也可能适得其反。我认为,美国需要重新评估其在中东地区的战略,避免采取单边行动,而是应该通过对话和谈判解决争端。 Mark Montgomery III: 我认为美国军方对伊朗核设施的打击是必要的,因为这些设施对美国及其盟友构成了威胁。虽然摧毁福尔多核设施可能需要B-2隐形轰炸机,但这表明美国有能力应对伊朗的核威胁。我认为,美国需要继续加强在中东地区的军事存在,以确保该地区的稳定和安全。当然,我也认为,美国应该寻求与伊朗进行对话,以避免冲突的进一步升级。 Donald Trump: 我坚信我一直致力于维护和平,避免无休止的战争。我曾多次表示,美国不应该卷入中东的冲突。然而,面对伊朗的核威胁,我认为采取军事行动是必要的。我希望这次行动能够促使伊朗回到谈判桌前,达成一项能够确保地区和平的协议。我始终认为,美国应该优先考虑自身利益,避免被全球主义者拖入无休止的战争。

It is official. The United States is currently at war. The United States has entered Israel's war against Iran. Donald Trump has just posted that the United States military has hit three nuclear sites.

in Iran. Let me repeat, the United States is at war. Let me read for you what Donald Trump posted. We have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran airspace. A full payload of bombs was dropped on the primary site, Fordow.

All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American warriors. There is not another military in the world that could have done this. Now is the time for peace! Thank you for your attention to this matter. Let me repeat, the United States is currently at war.

war in Iran, the United States joining Israel, apparently with no other allies, US and Israel, Donald Trump, Netanyahu against Iran. Donald Trump just posts, I will be giving an address to the nation

at 10 p.m eastern 7 p.m pacific at the white house regarding our very successful military operation in iran this is an historic moment this is all in caps now for the united states of america israel and the world

Iran must now agree to end this war. Thank you! So after attacking Iran, Donald Trump is saying it was a successful operation and that Iran must now end the war after the United States just bombed Iran. It conjures images in my mind of when George W. Bush was

went on the ship and had the mission accomplished sign behind him, although that was not after the first few hours of an operation. Donald Trump also reposted open source Intel account that says Fordow is gone forever.

We're learning some additional information about the strike as well. Reports out of Iran right now of some of the most heavy wide spectrum jamming of the war. Radios, GPS and cell are all experiencing heavy degradation, most likely U.S. electronic warfare supporting the strikes.

We also believe that the B2s that were sent to Guam that we had been reporting about earlier in the day were a diversion. Other B2s likely took off towards Iran is what this account is saying and many others in the intelligence space are saying as well.

Trump announced that U.S. forces have struck Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan nuclear facilities in Iran and all aircraft are now out of Iranian airspace. An important thing to think about as well as this account notes is.

I would not want to be on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz right now. Very difficult hours ahead as the U.S. and other Gulf nations look to secure shipping. One of the things that Iran said it would do would be to shut down the Strait of Hormuz

And if that were to take place, that's where all of the oil leaves the Middle East from on its way to its destinations. That could have a massive shock on the supply chain of oil. Additionally, three senior Iranian officials have told the New York Times that they believe American forces had bombed Fordow and Natanz around 2:30 a.m. in Iran time. This is how

Mark Montgomery III, a retired general, here's how he had to say it or how he was discussing how U.S. military assets were critical to destroying the nuclear facility. Play this clip. Your thoughts on the targets and what about Fordo?

So exactly right. They've hit Natanz, Isfahan and other Iraq and other sites here and done significant damage. They've been around Fordow. But the reality is the president's right.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said they could take Fordow. I think a fair statement is they could do significant damage to Fordow. But the only way you're going to destroy Fordow, and it's not a guarantee, but the only possible way are B-2 stealth bombers delivering the GBU-57, that 30,000 pound weapon. Now, here was the prior report about the United States moving B-2 bombers to the Pacific island of Guam earlier. Play this clip.

The United States is moving B-2 bombers to the Pacific island of Guam as President Donald Trump weighs whether the U.S. should take part in Israel's strikes against Iran. The bomber deployment was relayed to Reuters on Saturday by two U.S. officials. It's unclear whether the move is tied to Middle East tensions.

The B-2 can be equipped to carry America's 30,000-pound GBU-57 massive ordnance penetrator designed to destroy targets deep underground. And then Donald Trump met with his National Security Council within the past few hours. He was previously in Bedminster, New Jersey, golfing, and he was talking to the new members at his club in Bedminster, New

then congratulated the new members, then went back to Washington, D.C. to meet with the National Security Council, where it's believed that all these operations were taking place. Israeli media is saying that Israel has known for several days

that Trump is quote on board and yet Israel and the US together created the feeling that there are disagreements in the American leadership in order to lull the enemy. There have been reports of tense conversations and of talks that are supposed to take place the next week. The goal was to create a diversion allegedly to prevent the Iranians

from rushing to take action but it should be noted as well that the united states was signaling to other countries remember two weeks that it would try to see if there was a path towards uh negotiation many people are saying that two carries worth of navy ea 18g growlers

were supporting this operation as well. Here's a clip right here of Donald Trump saying multiple times that he would never start a war in the Middle East and attacking others, neocons, et cetera, who have started wars in the Middle East before. Let's play this clip right here. These globalists want to squander all of America's strength, blood, and treasure.

chasing monsters and phantoms overseas. In addition, there must also be a complete commitment to dismantling the entire globalist neocon establishment that is perpetually dragging us into endless wars, pretending to fight for freedom and democracy abroad,

We should have never gone into the Middle East. We should have never gone into the Middle East. Under my leadership, we will turn the page forever on those foolish, stupid days of never-ending wars. We're rebuilding our military stronger than ever before, and we are not going to deplete it again on stupid, senseless, endless wars.

World War III has never been closer than it is right now. We need to clean house of all of the warmongers and America last globalist in the deep state.

I am the president who delivers peace. I was the first president in decades who didn't start a war. Trump in 2013 said, remember that I predicted a long time ago that Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly, not skilled exclamation point, uh, right there. Um, seeing if there's any other, uh, additional information, uh, to report, uh,

right now as well. We will keep you posted every step of the way as we get more data, but that's what we have for now. The United States is at war. Donald Trump did not go through the lawful process of getting an authorization by Congress, but Donald Trump has put the United States at war against Iran with Israel. Trump, Netanyahu,

going in alone, as far as we know, without any of America's traditional allies. It is my belief that this is not going to be ending anytime soon.
