I have the feeling *we* found out Iran has a suitcase nuke strapped to a hypersonic missile aimed at Tel Aviv and *we* can't stop it.

If that is the case, they'll use it. Period.

You're right. The Iranians are into Shia Islam which is a doomsday cult. They believe they can bring about the advent of their "Mahdi" by starting the Apocalypse. So if they had a nuke to throw at Israel they'd use it the day they were sure it would work. No hesitation.

If they pull that, we should turn Qom into glass, because that's where the 12th Imam is supposed to crawl out of a well.

Trump royally screwed the pooch on that one. He should have kept his big fat mouth shut if he wasn’t already prepared to back his words up with action.

Welcome to Jimmy Carter territory.

As I feared several days ago, as time goes on, the urgency and immediacy for helping the Iranian people lessens in the public mind and among the decision-makers.  Already, the media are losing interest.  This is very worrisome.

Armed militias fire heavy machine guns through Tehran streets in deadly night attacks
Video shows automatic weapons fire after dark as Hezbollah and Iraqi forces patrol Iranian capital
By Emma Bussey Fox News
Published January 20, 2026 9:06pm EST

Gunfire echoed through Tehran Tuesday as heavily armed militias were deployed across the Iranian capital, transforming some districts into fortified zones under intense security.

Video footage showed bursts of automatic weapons after dark as government buildings, state media sites and major intersections were reportedly placed under guard, with armored pickups and masked fighters patrolling the streets in Toyotas.

The trucks were mounted with heavy machine guns and were moving in convoys with weapons firing into the darkness as armed men shouted commands.

In the video, large-caliber guns can be heard rattling as vehicles maneuver through urban streets.

Since President Trump said this, some 20,000 Iranians have been slaughtered.

So, you believe that Netanyahu coming clean to POTUS finally admitting the IDF can't defend Israel against an Iranian attack --- and asking POTUS to hold off attacking -- shouldn't change anything.  You're quite a special kind of ally.   Thanks for your candor @DB

Are you asking why a US President would halt an attack at the request of an ally who couldn't defend his nation against certain armed retaliation?
