Important Israel - Iran Update

Jun 13, 2025

Updates via DD Geopolitics over the past hour. Some of these tweets are opinion, others factual. If the attacks are being carried out from Iraqi air space as reported then my non-expert opinion is that these are not the types of strikes that can get to Iran’s underground facilities. As I speculated earlier, the attacks may be as much targeted at Iran’s leadership as at actual facilities. This is about destroying another country, not about nuclear facilities.

Remarkable statement by the Trump admin explicitly acknowledging that Israel’s unilateral belligerent actions place US troops and citizens in danger - that Israel is a liability to US national security
The requisite “we stand with Israel” boilerplate is nowhere to be found here

“Israel” is unilaterally attacking Tehran days ahead of US-Iranian nuclear talks, with the obvious intention of blowing up negotiations
Israel knows it cannot eliminate Iran’s nuclear program alone, or even set it back for more than a few months, so it aims to ignite a regional war that draws the US into direct conflict.
Why is it doing this?
The long answer requires a detailed treatise on the destabilizing and fundamentally unsustainable logic of the Zionist project.
So here’s a shorter explanation for its actions: Israel is a cancerous tumor on the face of humanity.

Reminder: Trump openly campaigned on allowing Israel to bomb Iran, so no one can say they’ve been blindsided or betrayed. Promises made, promises kept
I really want a dose of whatever narcotic people are taking to claim with a straight face that Israel is bombing Iran without any coordination or facilitation by the United States
Right, the US just stood powerlessly by as the state that it arms, funds, engages in elaborate intelligence-sharing with, maintains a joint military base with, and mobilizes its regional assets to defend, launched one of the most consequential bombing campaigns in its history
I agree, the United States is "not involved" with Israel's military operations. By coincidence, today I also had a lobotomy
