'Symbolic Moment' For Iran, Supreme Leader Wants World To Know It Fought Back | All In | MSNBC

  1. This was just a show of force and if there’s no retaliation from the US, then this whole thing is over.
    If not, well, Game On! I suppose.

    1. @Beverly Glover – I’d be surprised if he did. They’ve been gunning to start a war with Iran since he entered office.

    2. You really think this might be over? Seriously? America will be paying the price for this piece of Presidential self-indulgence for years.

    1. This guy definitely at crayons and glue paste as as a teenager I feel like ive seen this guy right before Christmas at the mall wearing red with little minions wearing green outfits

  2. Eric and Don jnr have just signed up to get some of the Action ,but were turned down by Medical ,they have Bone Spurs …heart broken .

    1. Peace through strength will haunt your dreams…try winning an election if you want endless war neo-lib

    2. martin ruffley It seems “superior Trump genetics” have (only) one draw-back. You guessed it: bone-friggin’-spurs. Otherwise they would be in every line of fire…

    3. Just glad to hear they weren’t in Ukraine acting as money mules while their fathers sold their offices for cash. Biden. Kerry. Pelosi.

  3. The biggest threat to America is not Iran. The biggest threat to America is the very desperate, panicked, deranged, cornered, and currently impeached man-baby in the Oval Office.

    Only someone as criminally incompetent as Trump would believe that going back to having NO inspectors, cameras, check marks, and inspections, is better than the Iran deal. Pulling out of the Iran deal put us back to where we were before, which is exactly where we are today, which is totally blind to what’s going on in Iran and NK.

    President Obama was able to bring 5 countries together, and secure a deal with Iran. It was something we had never had before, and the deal was working.
    In July 2015, Iran had almost 20,000 centrifuges. Under the  Iran deal–JCPOA, it was limited to installing no more than 5,060 of the oldest and least efficient centrifuges at Natanz until 2026. Iran’s uranium stockpile was reduced by 98% to 300kg (660lbs), a figure that must not be exceeded until 2031. It must also keep the stockpile’s level of enrichment at 3.67%.

    Under the deal, the Atomic Energy Agency would have cameras installed to provide 24-hour monitoring at the Natanz facility, and inspectors will have daily access to the facility for 15 years. Within a year, there would be 130 to 150 inspectors in Iran.

    By January 2016, Iran had drastically reduced the number of centrifuges installed at Natanz and Fordo. Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the global nuclear watchdog, continuously monitored Iran’s declared nuclear sites and also verified that no fissile material is moved covertly to a secret location to build a bomb. Iran also agreed to implement the Additional Protocol to their IAEA Safeguards Agreement, which allowed inspectors to access any site anywhere in the country they deem suspicious.

    But the  best part about it was that President Obama didn’t have to praise the Ayatollahs or the Iranian leadership. He didn’t demean himself, or the office of the presidency, by meeting with them, which would have only given them the perception of being on the same footing as a US President. Trump on the other hand, disgraced himself, and the office of the presidency, by meeting with the most despotic and maniacal dictator on the planet….not once, but twice.

    He then proceeded to compliment him, and wax poetically about how he and Kim Jung Un fell in love after exchanging letters.  And what does Trump have to show for disgracing himself and the office of the presidency? NOTHING….other than love letters, a photo-op, and heightened tensions with Iran and NK. Trump is simply an agent of chaos, mind blowing ineptitude, and corruption. Trump doesn’t solve problems, he only creates them..

    1. @Taloquin and again the truth is out their look up anything I said, you may have to go to some scary places outside of CNN and buzzfeed but not my problem

  4. there were no casualties from U.S troops because it was planned between Iran and the U.S government before the attack.

    1. Any american who joins the U.S military is going to war at some point and they have to be dumb af to think that will not be in harms way eventually . They are basically signing up willing to die for their country regardless of the reason for the war and regardless of the president! The U.S has been at war my whole life!

    1. Revealing Serendipity – SPOT ON👍👍!! I couldn’t agree more, but I thought Russia and Iran were allies? How does assassinating their #2 benefit Putin? After I heard about his private phone call with Putin a few days before I assumed it was at Putin’s directive, but then I heard they (they being Russia and Iran) were in cahoots so now I’m confused 😕?!?

    2. @April Valleyvamp Trump has imposed more sanctions on Russia than Obama did. I don’t get how you guys say Trump is in their pocket when the US sold them the majority of our Uranium supply under Obama? Trump is already a BILLIONAIRE. This guy was a terrorist and that proof is indisputable. Christ even CNN admits that. You cant fight aggression by doing nothing.

    3. @Trumpet Music you know some people they’re really naive out there tho , asked them very simple question !!! Where is UN headquarters ?

    1. This one’s on trump. People in America don’t want another war – they’re sick of the ones they’re already in.

  5. *Pentagon should have never given Trump the Menu wtf they know better, old men politicians start wars and we the civilians pay the price id like to see politicians on the front lines protecting us*

  6. Congratulation “Mr Trump” the lives that the United States military will lose from this point on or probably lost already after the retaliation attack are on you , but you won’t care , no more than the wives and kids that will grow up without their parents, congratulations because now is no way to hide how incompetent you are as a human being, these death and the following fall square in your hands and you will not lose any sleep over it , I m glad I don’t serve in active duty anymore as I would be ashamed to fight and maybe die for someone that dodge his responsibility to his country when called ,In other words Im glad I don’t have to serve in uniform for this Draft dodger.

  7. I pray this will end now. As a citizen in America, I personally do not like all that is happening. People here are not as informed on what is truthfully going on unless we watch the news from other countries reporting it. Trump still has not revealed evidence of an “imminent” threat leading to his decision to order a strike. We all need to leave this in God’s hands now. I don’t think that everyone understands that not all people here agree with how Trump has handled the situation, nor do we believe that he has the proper knowledge to be in charge of making these decisions, he has caused so much drama here and now in other countries putting our own troops at risk with no explanation, while also not being clear. Praying for de-escalation from both sides.

  8. Isn’t it amazing how everything always just works out to perfection to lead us into a war? It’s almost like its planned.
