US and Iran conflict thread. ( merged threads)

Yes, in a protest action, a protester scaled the Iranian embassy in Copenhagen and replaced the Islamic Republic's flag with the pre-1979
Lion and Sun flag, a move aimed against the Iranian regime.

THE DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL COUNTERTERRORISM CENTER JUST RESIGNED OVER THE IRAN WAR:

Joe Kent just posted his resignation letter to Trump on X.

He said Iran “posed no imminent threat to our nation.”

Said the US started this war “due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”

Called it “the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war.”

This is not some random critic…

Combat veteran, 11 deployments, Gold Star husband, Trump appointee running one of the most sensitive national security roles in government.

He told Trump directly: “You can reverse course and chart a new path, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos.”

First major resignation from inside the administration over this war.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

Gotta question any resignation letter from any guy, who posts it on twitter, that recently swapped from Democrat to Republican affiliations, was slated to be terminated as a security leak since last year, and was taken out of the loop months ago.

Facts stated

 

[tirwin1]

Iran is the size of western europe with 92 million people. The idea that the US can somehow target any groups of people meeting isn't even fathomable.

Been paying much attention the past two weeks? It would seem we targeted quite a few people successfully.

How is their government even functioning? Why in earth do they keep meeting in groups? As soon as a cluster of them get together they get bombed. They should assume practically all signals intelligence is compromised.

It's a symbiotic relationship.

They all want to die as martyrs, and we keep obliging them.

"You mean I can die a suicide bomber, and the Americans will supply the bombs ? Score !!!"

Some people are fathomimg it just fine.

You really need to examine why things you claim are impossible keep happening.

Maybe Trump's not the one that doesn't understand this stuff.

Sorry! Gotta Question the relativity of the famous "Weapons of Mass Destruction " line again. Getting old dont ya think? I could post video's of Trump stating how wars in the middle east have been senseless if you like..
It’s like Trump had a stroke and became a never-Trump neocon. I’ve never seen anything like it before. Every day of this administration has been Opposite Day.

Put any faith in the Kent letter (resignation letter issued and delivered on twitter by the way) at your own peril. Looks fairly certain he has of late been a flip flopper, a leaker and a liar. His letter actually contradict thoughts he previously plastered on social media.

He knew he was caught leaking, was on his way out and his clearances had already long been pulled for leaking military info.

How many regimes has the USA changed through bombing campaigns?

As if that's all that's going on...

You know who couldn't "fathom" it? The Iranians that we blew up lol.


This isn't just an impressive military display. It's also a first rate intelligence operation. The Israelis seem to know what is going to happen before the Iranians do.

Whether it will ultimately achieve the goal of regime change is another question. But damn. Every member of that government has to be shitting their pants wondering when their turn is coming.

It looks like the Iranian people are actively helping the Israeli military target the govt forces. This may be much different than previous American actions in the middle east. Remember, the protesters wanted this. The majority of Iranians are against their govt.
