What in the world is Iran doing? I'm no strategic war expert but I have no idea why they bombed Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Cyprus, Lebanon, Iraq, Kuwait, and Jordan. The only one of those countries remotely involved is Kuwait because we have a large military base there, but other than that I don't know why they're just bombing every country around them.

Maybe they're trying to put pressure on those nations to negotiate with America to ease up.

Complete shutdown of power in Iraq currently

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Spain caved to pressure from u.s. it looks like.

Absolutely and completely out of his mind. Impeach this lunatic.

It's payback for the Spanish Inquisition.

Nope

What are you saying “Nope” to?

He didn’t say Iraqi Kurds. What you posted there does acknowledge Kurds with Iran.

No Kurdish forces are invading Iran and no offensive is under way.

I was just confused since what you posted says a Kurdish official said, “Iranian Kurds” were “carrying out the push.”

I knew they would. Trump's doing great IMO

That report was retracted by Fox and others who reported and denied by the Kurds themselves, which I posted

Majority of Americans disapprove of the war, and will likely increase as prices and casualties rise and the war drags on for no real purpose https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/us/politics/iran-us-war-military-polls.html

Great at what? Being an incompetent moron? He should never have started this needless war.

 

[RFD66]

At what exactly? Seriously.

Eradicating the nuclear threat to the United States.

 

[TornadoFan]

Eradicating the nuclear threat to the United States.

What nuclear threat? There was absolutely no evidence that Iran was getting close to building a nuclear weapon.
