The decision just released in the Casa case has said [universal injunctions] "likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has granted to federal courts."
This should put an end to 600 district court judges thinking they outrank the POTUS...
Good news. And they also need to refresh inventory. The 14 GBU-57s dropped were out of 30 believed to exist in US arsenal. Although the US also has nuclear bunker busters for a real war.
More than a delay it's a money issue. Obama and then Biden shoveled billions to Iran to let this program exists. Without that, and without sanctions relief, Iran will not be able to afford to replace their nuclear infrastructure.
I think Trump's "diplomacy" worked as intended. Iran launched ineffective missiles against a US base that had been completely evacuated, and Iran was kind enough to ring up Qatar and give them advance warning of the strike so nobody would get hurt.
If this is the off-ramp, then Trump is a genius.
This now forgotten 1978 book was a large influence on the views of Ronald Reagan regarding the USSR. In the book, Iran is a major ally of the US against the USSR in WW3. The 1979 revolution obviously changed all of that.
ETA: Before/after photos, pretty clear even to my untrained eyes that the mountaintop has collapsed.

That's not it. That was a Ukranian drone strike on a Russia ammo depot in 2024. See original source below.

Iron Dome efficacy has been put at 94% of incoming missiles that were headed for populated areas were intercepted. Only 26 Iranian missiles in total have evaded the counter-missile system to strike the ground. This does not include missiles headed for vacant areas, which are not intercepted...
Not rumors, it's confirmed as there are photos of the B2s leaving Missouri last night. Which leads me to believe they were intentionally taken by the .gov and posted on X for Iran to see. Maximum saber rattling.
I don't want to argue every point but let me pick up these two:
Knowing Iran/US history here would be helpful, because the Iranian theocracy's hatred of the US is independent of anything to do with Israel. The origin of that hatred is because in 1953 the CIA engineered a coup that put the...
I find it interesting that you view the events of 45 years ago as isolated events when the Iranian campaign directly against US interests has continued unabated. The current Ayatollah has been in charge of Iran for 36 of those years. In case you need to recognize him, he's one of the guys...
Karoline Leavitt just said Trump has given Iran two weeks to negotiate. So mark July 4th as MOP day, which will make for a hell of a fireworks show on independence day.
Noted your view, but Iran killing Americans isn't just historic -- it's happening today:
Isolationism doesn't work if the person sworn to your destruction builds nukes and delivers them here in the CONUS. How do I know that's what Iran would do? Because again they said they are committed to...
It seems that we will see a US-led aerial campaign by Monday morning local time. The UK may in fact join.
Reason I say that is the fallout from the hospital missile strike and the statement that Iran issued today repudiating any negotiations. I have a feeling that last bit personally...
You should brush up on your history. 241 Marines were killed in the 1983 attack (as well as about 70 French soldiers). And tens of thousands of US servicemen were killed or crippled by Iranian IEDs in Iraq and Iran.
I love this "dragged in" view. Iran has been killing Americans since 1979. Just a few off the top of my head: the hostages; the 1983 marine bombing; Khobar towers; all the servicemen killed in Iraq and Afghanistan by Iranian-produced IEDs and EFPs used by Iran-trained insurgents.
And when a...

Can someone explain how Iran building bombs is not a USA problem too? The country’s official policy has been “Death to America” since they took our hostages in 1979.
