Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If your claim is that the strike is justified because you believe that Iran has an illegal nuke program, then do you also agree that Israel should be bombed to oblivion because we know that they have an illegal nuke program?
Does the fact that the strike was made when all intel insisted that there was no justification for it matter at all in this, or does past evils justify all future evils?
In the past we very publicly killed Nazis. By your logic can we do the same today?
Also, btw, Obama was in power during a time of declared war.
Are you saying the world is supposed to be fair? If Iran launches a nuke at Tel Aviv and 2 million people die and Israel retaliates and nukes Tehran and 2 million people die, that would be fair. Even Stevens!
I'd rather live in an unfair world than live in your fair world because I'm not a psychopath that thinks 4 million people is a good outcome.
Read the IAEA report: https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/statements/iaea-director-generals-introductory-statement-to-the-board-of-governors-9-june-2025
I don't have the security clearances needed to see the intel and I strongly doubt you do (if you did you wouldn't be blabbing about it a web forum). But we do have publicly available information from the subject experts at the IAEA that Iran was enriching more Uranium and was hiding things from the UN.
SO YOU AGREE that Israel should've been bombed to oblivion for having an illegal nuke program.
Your first paragraph makes no sense, but the logical conclusion of your post is that Israel should be bombed for having nukes.
