President Trump detailed the progress of the ongoing operation in Iran Monday, noting that initial estimates projected a four-week timeline to eliminate Iranian leadership, but it was accomplished in a single day due to precise intelligence.
“They met for breakfast, assumed it was good, didn’t think we knew, you NEVER attack in the morning. Winds, sun, a lot of things,” Trump revealed to Fox News’ Brett Baier.
“We thought it was going to take 4 weeks to get rid of Iranian leadership…49 leaders!” Trump continued, adding “49 leaders is DEEP, very deep.”

Why? Because Iranian leadership was all at breakfast together, intel agencies saw that, so we struck ??
“When…
“It was AMAZING that we knew everything we knew!” Trump further stated, adding “When they met, they met for breakfast. They didn’t think we knew. It was amazing that we knew everything we knew!” he added.
Trump indicated further more larger scale actions are imminent.
“We haven’t even started hitting them hard,” he reportedly told Jake Tapper, noting that “The big wave hasn’t even happened. The big one is coming soon.”

Trump also remarked that after taking out all of Iran’s senior leadership, “They’re studying people to be the leader who even THEY don’t know who they are. Can you believe that?”
Trump also announced that US forces have sunk nine Iranian naval ships and “largely DESTROYED” their Navy headquarters.
“We are going after the rest [of the ships] – They will soon be floating at the bottom of the sea, also!”he urged, quipping that “other than that, their Navy is doing very well!”

Iranian forces continue to respond with strikes on US assets in the region, leading to the first confirmed US casualties. The Pentagon confirmed additional forces are being deployed to the Middle East as the conflict continues to unfold.
In a related development, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte expressed full backing for the US actions.
“The Commander-in-Chief, the leader of the free world, President Donald J. Trump, I REALLY commend what is happening here! Taking out Khamenei, taking out the nuclear capability and ballistic missile program in Iran,” Rutte stated.

“This is crucial. I spoke with ALL the key European leaders…there’s WIDESPREAD support for the president’s doing,” Rutte added.
The only remaining sane Democrat, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized fellow senators for their reluctance to support decisive action against Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
“Empty sloganeering vs. commitment to global security — WHICH IS IT?” Fetterman emphasised, adding “EVERY member in the U.S. Senate agrees we cannot allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. I’m baffled why so many are unwilling to support the only action to achieve that.”

“I’m TIRED of people going on social media saying, ‘We can never let Iran to have a nuclear bomb!’ [Well] if you’re not willing to DO anything about it, MUST BE EMPTY WORDS! When President Trump was WILLING to do it!” Fetterman enthused.
The strikes have disrupted air travel in the region and caused hundreds of deaths in Iran, according to local reports. Trump has stated the campaign could extend for weeks, with no immediate plans for ground troops but not ruling them out.

Oh when I think back at all the propaganda Paul has published pushing this satanic, murdering pdf. I dont see your report Paul on all the school girls murdered yesterday?
Trump speaks in the manner of the lowly intelligent schoolyard bully fighting to think up words that sound really tough. He also sounds like a leader who is frustrated that his manufactured enemy is fighting back with a certain degree of success. The U.S. administration and its Israeli handlers wallow through their satanic evil.
