Donald Trump on Thursday said the U.S. would hit Iran "VERY HARD TONIGHT," threatening in a social media post to "assume total control" of Iran's oil and gas industries, including the key Kharg Island, in the "not too distant future."

The post come after the U.S and Iran traded strikes for a second day, pushing the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full-scale war. The American attack, which lasted into Thursday morning in Iran, appeared more intense and wider than the day before.

Okay I know it would be mostly awful but Iran could do the funniest shit and drop their first test nuke on DC.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 6 points 2 days ago

Nobody is going to fuck with Iran if they actually have nukes, which is why they 100% should start making nukes.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 2 days ago

It's not going to take nukes. But everyone near any kind of military installation should be risking something to keep from facing a tenth of the destruction and chaos we're wreaking on the rest of the world, directly or by proxy.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago
