Did he do it because we ridiculed him about using the “two weeks” response as a cliche
The United States has entered Israel’s war against Iran.
American warplanes dropped bombs on three nuclear sites in Iran on Saturday, President Trump announced on Saturday night, bringing the U.S. military directly into the war after days of uncertainty about whether he would intervene.
The Fordo site was first revealed to the world in 2009, though European and American intelligence agencies had found it earlier. For the past 16 years, officials have worried it was too deep and too fortified to strike. The weapons believed to be dropped in the American raid were designed specifically with Fordo and similar sites in mind.
-----------
The attack on the sites is the first time since the Iranian revolution, in 1979, that the United States has sent its Air Force to strike major facilities inside the country, an act of war. But President Trump has now inserted the U.S. military directly into an open conflict with Iran, which a succession of American presidents, dating back to Jimmy Carter, tried to avoid. Mr. Trump made no effort in his Truth Social post to justify what administration officials said would be a pre-emptive attack, to keep Iran from a final race for the bomb.
