Inside Trump's Iran attack and why Tehran can still build a nuclear bomb

The United States has just pulled off one of the most audacious
bombing campaigns of the 21st century — attacking Iran’s nuclear
sites in a stunning show of military might. The Pentagon is
calling it a surgical strike. Donald Trump? He’s calling it a
“obliteration.” Either way, it’s one hell of a moment in global
history.


But this didn't come out of nowhere. This is part of a full-blown
war that started just ten days ago, when Israel launched a
surprise attack on Iran. Since then, it’s been chaos. Missiles
flying back and forth, and now — the world’s most powerful
military dropping bunker-busting bombs with chilling precision.
And while Israeli officials are tight-lipped about regime change,
Trump certainly isn’t. Last night on Truth Social he posted: “If
the current Iranian regime is unable to make Iran great again,
why wouldn’t there be regime change?” Then he added “MIGA” — yes,
Make Iran Great Again. Subtle, it is not.
