A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors.

according to Mossad, and I have to wonder how many Iranians are NOT working with Mossad.

My best guess says that MOP munitions were dropped on the nuclear facilities. Hardened underground storage facilities in Iran is exactly what those things were designed for.

Because War is a two way street, not just one side deciding what they will or will not do, the other side has a say.

Generation X voted for Trump and now they may have to fight his war.

MAGA….
