United States joins Israel's war against Iran on grifter Donald Trump's unconstitutional orders

“When I’m back in the White House, we will expel the warmongers, the profiteers … and we will restore world peace,” https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/18/politics/trump-peacemaker-iran-israel-conflict-analysisgrifter Donald Trump bragged in an appearance last August at the National Guard Association’s annual national conference.

Less than a year later, Trump has become the third consecutive Republican president to embroil the United States in a war in the Middle East, after George H.W. Bush and his son George W. Bush, both of whom were egged on by a host of neoconservative advisers. On Trump’s orders — which we believe are unconstitutional since Congress did not authorize a strike against Iran — American bombers just dropped a considerable number of ordinances on three Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.

“A U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential intelligence said that multiple 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs were dropped on Fordo, and that initial damage assessments indicated that the facility had been ‘taken off the table.’ The attack was the first time the U.S. military had used the weapon in combat,” The New York Times reported. Six B‑2 bombers were reportedly used to drop the bombs.

Iranian state media claimed that each facility had already been evacuated prior to the attacks and also suggested the operation was not the total success that Trump claimed it was in an online posting revealing that the operation had taken place.

Trump and his team lie about everything so why not this? Plus, it’s too early to know how effective the bombs were. What’s certain is that now Iran and the rest of the world’s militaries know just how effective these bombs are. Sometimes is better to have your adversaries guessing about the effectiveness of a weapon than to have its specs confirmed. Trump could not possibly grasp that concept.
