US State Department Affirms US Attacked Iran "At the Request" of Israel

[David__77]

…

Epic Fury is only the latest round of an ongoing international armed conflict with Iran. As the United States has explained in multiple letters to the U.N. Security Council, including most recently on March 10, the United States is engaged in this conflict at the request of and in the collective self-defense of its Israeli ally, as well as in the exercise of the United States’ own inherent right of self-defense.

1. DURec

2. and "OUR" self defense. Pedopresident trying to make a friend. That is all that is.

[Justice matters.]

3. Or... being blackmailed somehow (MOSSAD agents could have Kompromat...) n/t

10. I'm pretty sure...

Moussad has everything about his association with Epstein and then some.

[ChicagoTeamster]

4. Self defense from what attack or threat of attack?

Their reasoning on Iran could also be used to attack Russia, China, Cuba....

[yardwork]

5. Obama mentioned that Netanyahu was always urging him to attack Iran.

It sounds like it's been an ever-present request from Netanyahu, easily ignored until Trump wanted to do it.

[Exp]

7. Or was compelled due to Kompromat. oem

[yardwork]

12. Maybe, but in that case why not in Trump's first term?

I think the kompromit is out in the open now and Trump needed a distraction from the Epstein documents. Also Hegseth and others in the cabinet are Christian Nationalists who think attacking Iran will bring about Armageddon and their Rapture.

[Exp]

6. "Shit Is Fucked Up And Bullshit" eom

[Ray Bruns]

8. Duh!

[mahina]

9. Well that ought to do it.

If all the other crimes werenʻt enough, this sure ought to be.

Our brothers and sisters, siblings and kids are not a private conscript militia for the profit of (i)djt and benefit of Benjamin. Who should be in prison himself, lest we forget.

How do we support our people in uniform?

[democrank]

11. Netanyahu and Trump....two of the world's most despicable heads of nations

They both constantly and brazenly display their disregard for human life.

[mahina]

13. Epic Fuckup is bound to be the public moniker, since it already was. And I try hard not to cuss. Well, I do try anyway.

I said out loud "I do try not to cuss." My dog shot me such a look. I swear he understands English.

[Initech]

14. Netanyahu is a fucking psychopath.
