[QUOTE=Canada;3063572]If you can't acknowledge that Iran is a terrorist country and a danger to the world then you must be a terrorist supporter yourself. There are hundreds of posts by past presidents and congress both republican and democrat who publicly called out this terrorist country. If you aren't t smart enough to google it then you have bigger problems in life. Any person that supports terrorism over Trump administration has serious problems in life. I feel sorry for you.[/QUOTE]First, the AI Overview with substantiation links for how Trump lied to start his illegal Iran War with the only logical and supportable purpose being to Pay Back Netanyahu for squeezing out a fraction of a single percentage point swing among the Muslim Community of voters from their usual Dem candidate vote to the Repub candidate across the only three Swing States that mattered, PA, MI and WI, by stoking their antagonism for the Biden Administration by strategically delaying the May 2024 Biden-negotiated ceasefire until after the election. Had Netanyahu honored that ceasefire agreement before the 2024 election there is zero evidence that so much as one "winning" Electoral College vote for Trump would have come from any other demographic in any other states on any other issue. Trump owed Netanyahu a huge Pay Back favor.
Trump also owed major Pay Back favors to predominantly Muslim countries that, like Netanyahu, had pined for decades for a USA president stupid enough to plunge America into a War in Iran; Qatar for that sweet bribe of a $400 Million airliner, the UAE for that sweet bribe in the Billions of $ to bail out the Trump Crime Family's failing crypto venture, Saudi Arabia for that sweet bribe in the Billions to $ to Trump's son-in-law Jared and daughter Ivanka in an ongoing personal real estate deal clumsily disguised as some kind of "foreign policy" negotiations for the USA and others.
[QUOTE][b]How Trump lied to start his Iran War[/b]

Critics and political opponents have accused President Trump of using a "litany of lies" and shifting justifications to initiate and sustain the 2026 Iran War, a conflict that reportedly began with unilateral U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2025.
PBS

[B]According to various fact-checks and congressional testimonies, the primary alleged falsehoods include:[/b]
Imminent Nuclear Threat: Trump claimed the war was necessary because an Iranian nuclear weapon was an "imminent threat". However, U.S. intelligence assessments and experts consistently stated that Iran was years away from producing a deliverable nuclear weapon, even after amassing enriched uranium following the U.S. withdrawal from the JCPOA.
Missile Capabilities: Trump justified military action by claiming Iran was close to developing intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of reaching the American homeland. Government assessments contradicted this, stating Iran was years away from such technology.
Blaming Iran for U.S. Errors: On the first day of the conflict, a U.S. Tomahawk missile mistakenly hit a girls' school in Minab, killing approximately 175 children. Trump publicly claimed the attack "was done by Iran," a statement later undermined by a preliminary U.S. military investigation confirming it was an American missile.
Claims of Success and Progress:
Nuclear Program Status: Trump repeatedly claimed U.S. strikes "obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities, yet his administration later used the ongoing nuclear threat as a reason to continue the war.
Regime Change: Trump claimed "regime change has occurred" because several top Iranian leaders were killed; however, the Islamic regime remains in power under a new, hardline Supreme Leader.
Economic Impact: Trump falsely stated the U.S. is "totally independent" of Middle Eastern oil and that the war has not impacted inflation, despite rising gas prices and a 0.3% month-over-month CPI increase in February 2026.
Fabricated Endorsements: Trump claimed all four living former presidents privately told him they wished they had attacked Iran as he did; aides for all four former presidents denied these conversations ever took place.

Democrats on the House Armed Services Committee have characterized the war as a "strategic blunder" and accused the administration of misleading the public about the conflict's costsnow estimated at $25 billion and its true objectives.

Of course, this is con man Trump's pattern
[QUOTE=Sirioja;3063639]As CIA told, no danger for USA from Iran. With his war criminal Netanyahou, Trump wanted to kill mollahs, but he is so ignorant: You kill one, then becoming famous martyr and making babies who want to become same and ready to die for Allah, when US marines are afraid to die. Total failure, still mollahs and Iran blocking now since 1 month economics of the world in Ormuz pass, with inflation because of Trump who worked with Netanyahou who makes business with war, to avoid justice of his country. Americans and others now pay more expensive because of Trump who is not able to free Ormuz, but at least he killed 150 young girls in a school, but Iran is exactly same with same islamist chiit mollahs still leading there. Big problem is lack of knowledge of USA over their borders. I don t think our world, except Netanyahou, thank Trump and USA under him, when USA lost many wars since Vietnam, then Afghanistan. Many and even in his family think Trump fell under dementia megalomania and is not anymore able to think with his neurons, just a danger for our world, putting messe every day.[/QUOTE]Absolutely true.
The credible intel said Iran did not pose a threat or plan a first strike.

[B]Pentagon tells Congress no intelligence showed Iran was preparing to strike before US attack.
Closed-door briefings acknowledge no evidence that Tehran intended to hit US forces first, as Democrats accuse Trump of launching a war of choice.

[QUOTE]Trump has argued, without presenting evidence, that Iran was on track to soon secure the ability to strike the United States with a ballistic missile.
His missile claim was not backed by US intelligence reports, and appeared to be exaggerated, sources familiar with the reports have told Reuters.[/QUOTE]Trump and his Repubs being the darlings of Mainstream Media, note how even in these damning reports MSM cannot help but softpeddle the Trump / Repub con here; Trump didn't merely start an unprovoked, counterproductive War of Choice against Iran "without presenting evidence" that it was necessary. Nope. He did it CONTRARY to the evidence that it was necessary. From his own Administration.
Trump knew from the very beginning that Iran was in compliance with the nuclear deal. He and his own Administration confirmed Iran was in compliance with the nuclear deal. Twice. Right before he tore up the deal anyway and immediately defunded and removed the inspectors who also confirmed Iran was in compliance with the deal.
[B]Trump Says Iran Complying With Nuclear Deal But Remains Dangerous Threat.
This is the second time Trump certified Iranian compliance with the agreement since he took office in January, despite once calling it "the worst deal ever."
July 18, 2017[/B]
[URL]https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/trump-says-iran-complying-nuclear-deal-remains-dangerous-threat-n783946[/URL]
Trump defunded and removed the inspectors and thereby created the conditions that ushered in a global catastrophe. Sound familiar? It should.
He did the exact same thing in his 1st disastrous term when he defunded and removed the highly effective Pandemic Prevention and Response teams leadership from those Chinese labs in 2019, thereby ushering in Trump's Pandemic with the millions of deaths, worldwide economic and supply-chain collapse, the global hyper-inflation, business, school and travel venue closures that followed, only to eventually admit in a March 2020 recorded interview with Bob Woodward that "we could have avoided all the trouble and stopped it easily" if only a responsible party had been there to tell us about those early Covid cases "two months sooner. " The only reason responsible parties were not there to tell us about them is because Trump "defunded and removed" their leadership several months sooner.
And he did that for the same underlying reason he tore up the original Iran Nuclear Deal; it was a successful and highly effective program that had Clinton and Obama's signature all over it.
Now he is begging Iran to agree to a deal that will likely never be as good as the one he tore up.
Realistically, the only way for Trump to have anything whatsoever to do with a "new" and remotely successful Iran Nuclear Deal is for him to beg and recruit Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Kerry to please return to service and do again all the hard work they put into it the first time. And more.
Because it is clear nobody in the Trump Administration, nobody else he knows, no Repub in the House or in the Senate has the slightest clue what to do or how to do it. Least of all Trump himself.

Hey, speaking of Trump and crime
[QUOTE=Sirioja;3063724]Because of inflation he is making with his war with no reason and taxes, Trump is falling with Americans. I wish they will fire such crazy senile in November and same for Israel with their war criminal Netanyahou. After killing 150 young girls, Trump should be ranked as a war criminal, after already sexual criminal.[/QUOTE]For too long one of only two issues the demonstrably Winger-leaning RealClearPolitics poll of polls found Trump not to have greater than 50% Disapproval on was on the issue of "crime. " But just today RCP's poll of polls shows Trump with a greater than 50% Disapproval on that issue too! That is along with his much, much greater than 50% Disapproval on almost every other issue RCP feels is worth asking about; overall Job Approval, the Economy, Inflation, Immigration, Foreign Policy and Iran.
Now the lone exception issue the demonstrably Winger-leaning RCP feels is worth asking about in their poll of polls for which Trump doesn't have a greater than 50% Disapproval on is Israel / Hamas. Which, not coincidentally, was the one issue for the one demographic in the only three Swing states that mattered that swung just enough votes his way to squeak out a razor-thin Electoral College win for him. And that was thanks solely to Netanyahu strategically delaying honoring the May 2024 Biden-negotiated ceasefire until after the November 2024 election.
But Trump has only a squeaker of a razor-thin margin under 50% Disapproval on that issue too! Yes, at 49.5% Disapproval he has a clear plurality Disapproval on that issue. But he just misses out on earning a greater than 50% Disapproval on it by less than about 0. 6 of a percentage point. So that one remaining issue can flip any minute now and earn Trump an across-the-board greater than 50% Disapproval on every issue the demonstrably Winger-leaning RCP can think of to ask about for him.

See screenshots below.
Oh! I also included a screenshot of the very high gas prices those nice folks in the only three Swing states that mattered for the presidential election outcome in 2024, PA, MI and WI, because it is encouraging to see them learning the painful FAFO lesson to be learned by not coming out to vote for Harris in a few thousand more numbers to override what that relatively tiny handful of angry Muslims in their states foolishly did to their states, the rest of the country and to themselves. Just because their personal financial situation was satisfying enough in 2024 not to feel compelled to bother voting or just because some typically pro Repub "bothsider / neithersiders" had tried to bamboozle them into believing the horsesh*t that it doesn't really matter all that much which Party is in the White House did not give them or anyone else an excuse not to think well enough of their friends, family America to vote for the Dem candidate no matter who he, she or they are.
