X seems to be a sewer. Mountains of fake crap burying anything true.

Here are the facts.  There has never been a better time to act on Iran.  If we do nothing we will have to deal with this muzzie lead country for years.  If we strike them and we f@ck it up, we will be dealing with this muzzie country for years.   So, here is the question we have to ask ourselves.  What do we have to lose.

Report: Israel, Arab states urge Trump to delay major strikes on Iran
Israel National News, Jan 14, 2026

Israeli and Arab officials have privately cautioned the Trump administration in recent days that Iran’s regime may not yet be weakened enough for US military strikes to deliver a decisive blow, NBC News reported Tuesday.

The report cited a US official, a former US official briefed on the talks, a source familiar with Israeli leadership thinking, and two Arab officials.

These officials have advised President Donald Trump - who is weighing military action in response to Tehran’s deadly crackdown on protesters - to hold off on large‑scale strikes for now. Some prefer waiting until the regime is further strained, noting that Iran’s internal stability is shifting rapidly and could change dramatically in either direction.

The discussions, involving senior American political and military leaders, highlight the complex considerations Trump faces as he evaluates possible US responses. The President, who was expected to meet on Tuesday with his national security team, has warned that Iran will face US military action if the regime is killing protesters.

One Arab official said there is a “lack of enthusiasm from the neighborhood" for US strikes at this moment.  Another warned that “any attack or escalation by Israel or the US will unite Iranians," noting the rally‑around‑the‑flag effect after the American and Israeli attack in June.

Israeli officials have told the administration that while they fully support regime change in Iran, they fear outside military intervention now may not finish the job protesters have begun. They have suggested alternative US actions to further weaken the regime and bolster demonstrators before considering larger strikes.

Possible steps include improving communications access for Iranians to bypass the regime’s internet blackout, increasing economic sanctions, launching a cyberattack, or carrying out highly targeted military action against specific Iranian leaders, the sources said.

A spokesperson for the Israeli Embassy in Washington declined to comment.

A White House official said in a statement that “All options are at President Trump’s disposal to address the situation in Iran. The president listens to a host of opinions on any given issue, but ultimately makes the decision he feels is best."

It appears to be off for tonight.  Too bad, I was hoping the killing of unarmed civilians would stop tonight.

Yeah...they are running out of time....first light is only 2hrs away?

My guess is they are waiting for the New Moon phase. That is what they did during Gulf war I.
