Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has barred all electronic communications and speaks to commanders through a “trusted aide” in fear of assassination. Fears over Israeli infiltration into Iran’s security echelon had “rattled the Iranian power structure, even Ayatollah Khamenei.”

A senior Russian official said today that Trump had started a new war by attacking Iran, which would only strengthen Tehran's leaders by consolidating society around Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The Kremlin repeatedly warned that U.S. strikes on Iran would plunge the entire region into the "abyss.”

Iran’s foreign minister today: “We were in the middle of negotiations … I think they have proved that they are not men of diplomacy and that they only understand the language of threat and force, and this is very unfortunate.”

The United States has launched strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. What might this mean for the world and for Ukraine? ◾️The main question now is how Iran will respond. ◾️The real situation in Iran is complicated. Not all who hate the Iranian regime applaud the strikes.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Anyone who’s upset that Trump put this 22-year-old kid in charge of terrorism prevention — despite the fact that he previously worked as a gardener and grocery store clerk, and has ZERO experience in counter-terrorism — is clearly just jealous they can’t do that eyebrow thing. 🤨

As major American cities brace for potential terrorist attacks in retaliation against the U.S. air strikes on Iran, it’s reassuring to know that Trump just appointed a 22-year-old former gardener and grocery store assistant to lead U.S. terror prevention. 🥺

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

An act of war weeks in planning but unauthorized by Congress against a country that Trump's own director of intelligence testified under oath was not close to getting a nuclear weapon.

If Iran is close to a nuclear weapon it is because Trump pulled out of the the deal we had with them. This is a crisis entirely made by Trump.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

We are now at war with Iran Put aside whether Trump conducting air strikes was legal or not Because only Congress can declare war-as if the Constitution matters any more This imprudent action against the world's foremost sponsor of terrorism will get Americans killed apple.news/ANU0-CBO2QA2...

Trump will soon speak to the nation about the unprovoked war crime of unilateral war that he just illegally ordered. Every word out of his mouth will be a lie. He will lie about history, about intel, about Israel, and about his own interests. He will lie to ALL our faces. 🤬

Just as Iraq had no WMD, Iran has no nuclear weapons. America has entered another unnecessary war in the Middle East

By disregarding his own intelligence advisors that Iran was not about to have nuclear weapons, Donald Trump has, without any justification whatsoever, provoked Iran to retaliate against American troops in the Middle East and American civilians at home. He is a irresponsible, simpleminded idiot.

Awful: Trump just threatened to send troops into other cities. The conundrum is this: Faced with a president whose bad faith/willingness to invent fake pretexts for abusing his powers is limitless, the system is crashing. Next stop: The abyss.
