Iran Reportedly Warns Apple is Among Potential Targets

And just because Trump is being open about it, that means we give him a free pass?

Doesn't matter how cute and quirky Trump does it, war crime is still war crime.

Edit: I misread that reply, my apologies. But okay, how can you say he is faking it? He kidnapped the leader of Venezuela, killed the leader of Iran, and has already recklessly bombed and killed innocent Iranians as a consequence. This is not him faking it.

If you think he committed a war crime you can take whatever actions you deem necessary to protect the country.

But yeah, maybe trump will be able to settle down the region after all these years.

The simplest way to defuse the issue, is for Pakistan to give Trump some made up award. That’s the quickest way to get grandpa down off the roof and back into bed.

This conflict will not settle down unless the US gives up and a permanent ceasefire is made. I'm not at all defending the authoritarian regime in Iran, but what Trump is doing should NOT be the way of handling them. If you still think that Trump's unreasonably hawkish stance towards Iran is justified, then I don't know what to say at this point.

Funnily enough, neither was Israel until they convinced an alcoholic and an idiot to join forces and kill children.

That is false.
I don’t think the invasion was a good idea, but Iran has been sending weapons into Yemen, Gaza, Syria and Northern Lebanon. Weapons that have been killing random Israelis for years and years. 750,000 died in Yemen because of Iranian weapons.

Iran is definitely an evil nation that’s behind most of the instability in the Mideast.

It’s cancelled, Pakistan’s prime minister just gave him the out: Two weeks delay, due to “progressive diplomatic efforts”, which we of course will be told was only possible due to Trump’s magnificent leadership (which technically is true, because if not for Trump, we wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place).

I’m mostly waiting to see how the rightwing media is going to spin it as anything else than Trump retreating with his tail between the legs. As we already knew, a Trump deadline is never really a deadline. He does not deserve credit for not committing genocide.

As I have stated many times, trying to explain the Middle East conflict by proclaiming one side as good and the other as evil, is misguided at best. Both Iran and Israel (and both by proxy and literally, the US) has blood on their hands. I support neither.

That does not mean that I support blowing any of them to smithereens.

By the way, other than arguably Pearl Harbor, none of the threats to US has come out of the blue. There’s a reason Muslims hate the US, and it’s called Israel. And even if you feel threatened, it doesn’t give you the right to commit war crimes. It would by proxy legitimise any attacks by any country that feels threatened by the US, which is an increasing number.

Stop pretending US is acting in self defense. Trump has made it very clear in no uncertain terms that it’s all about the oil. In other words, more than 5000 people have already been killed, in an American effort to make money. Let that sink in.

Donald Trump is negotiating with Donald Trump through JD Vance.
But, the Straits of Hormuz will stay closed for the US and other unfriendly countries. 😉
 
I know libs love getting their TACO jokes off and don’t mean too much by it. But I’m going to gently restate that it’s unwise to keep framing de-escalating from blowing up 20% of the world’s oil supply as chickening out.

I don’t think he deserves any sort of credit for de-escalating a crisis entirely of his own making. But “haha TACO Trump is too much of a coward to nuke Iran” feels unproductive.

A summary:

March 21: Deadline is March 23
March 23: Deadline is March 28
March 26: Deadline is April 6
April 5: Deadline is April 8.

Seems like the April 8 deadline will be April 22. I’m guessing new threats around April 19-20, and a new deadline set to Star Wars day.

If only you had voted for the guy who promised to stop endless wars.

And I already made it clear to you that what people are laughing about is that he made the threats in the first place - and especially the ways he is doing it - not that he is stepping down.

Trump obviously can't read so its not like people typing on a forum is going to have an impact.

It's healthy to point and laugh at the incompetence.

Fair. 😂

I just see a lot of cynical folks who want war with Iran deploying the TACO stuff lately. Neocon Never Trumpers, Chuck Schumer, etc.

I’ll try not to be too much of a wet blanket. It is pretty funny the oaf bumbled his way into this mess.

It is not Iran vs Israel. That is false.
Iran is the villain throughout the Mideast. No question.

We probably have a difference of opinion as to whether Israel is defending itself against Iranian-funded terrorist groups who have been firing rockets at Israeli civilians for many years. But what we can agree on is that Israel is not threatening the Gulf states, nor Egypt, nor Iraq, nor Jordan and others.

Argue all you want, but facts are facts: Israel attacks those who attack Israel. Iran attacks with the intention of spreading their religious form of government throughout the Mideast and perhaps the rest of the world.
