BREAKING: 15 Countries Tell Citizens to Get Out of Iran Now – Explosions Reported Outside Tehran

15 Countries have told their citizens to get out of Iran now. At the same time, a massive explosion was reported near Tehran.

Mario Nawfal reports on X:

🚨🇮🇷 GLOBAL EVACUATION WAVE: 15+ COUNTRIES TELL CITIZENS TO GET OUT OF IRAN NOW

Tensions are spiking, and governments worldwide are hitting the panic button, urging their people to leave Iran:

🇦🇺 Australia – Leave as soon as possible
🇧🇷 Brazil – Get out, following Lebanon alerts
🇨🇦 Canada – Leave immediately due to risk of hostilities
🇨🇳 China – Evacuate via commercial means right away
🇨🇾 Cyprus – Avoid all travel, leave now (mid-Jan 2026)
🇫🇮 Finland – Avoid Iran, consider leaving Israel/Lebanon too
🇩🇪 Germany – No travel, leave promptly
🇮🇳 India – All citizens (students, pilgrims) exit by any transport
🇵🇱 Poland – Leave immediately
🇷🇸 Serbia – Get out due to deteriorating security
🇸🇬 Singapore – Avoid travel, leave Iran
🇰🇷 South Korea – Do not travel to Iran
🇸🇪 Sweden – Avoid all travel, leave immediately (mid-Jan 2026)
🇬🇧 UK – Heightened risks, staff already pulled out
🇺🇸 U.S. – “Leave Iran now,” land routes via Armenia/Turkey if needed

Plus: The UK officially withdrew embassy staff over the security mess.

This isn’t routine travel advice, it’s a coordinated rush to clear civilians before war potentially blows up.

Also, a huge explosion was just reported outside of Tehran.  Some believe air defense systems may have been targeted.

“Just now, a massive explosion was heard. Not even 5 seconds ago. For now, only smoke is visible. The sound of another explosion followed shortly after.”

Locals are speculating that air defense systems may be being targeted, as they are positioned near the sites of these explosions, including around Parchin, an Iranian military complex near Tehran.

The US aircraft carriers in the area have more firepower than many countries.  They are absolutely lethal.

“ENDGAME FOR IRAN”

In a recent interview with Israel Hayom, retired U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Herman Shelanski, a former aircraft carrier commander, addressed the possibility of direct military confrontation between the United States and Iran.

Shelanski stated that, in the event of a full-scale conflict, Iranian forces would be rendered “powerless” within a week.

He described U.S. carrier forces as Tehran’s “biggest nightmare,” noting their ability to launch precision strikes from international waters while remaining largely out of reach of Iran’s conventional defenses.

Shelanski underscored that even a lone carrier strike group wields greater airpower than many countries possess in total, making it virtually impossible for Iran’s navy and air force to overcome.

This is getting real.

      After 3 tours in the Persian Gulf, you may want to research this further.

      Iran is not like the "Small" countries over 93 million, a very large number of Christians.

      They've got Serious Military numbers in a "layered" control structure.

      They've also got an unknown number of Sleeper Cells "here" in America.

      What is the "Exit" or "Win" requirements…?

      Are YOU ready to go…?
      .

  1. I grew up noticing the first people to run over and watch a fight were the ones that were never in any contest. Yelled the loudest. Mocked the loser. Very very few of the bloodthirsty war mongers have ever been in harms way, nor their children.
    everytime we go to war / military conflict 10% of white house personnel and legislators chosen at random should be located on the Frontlines HQ. Wars would be far between.

  2. Let me know when the Shaws grandson is sworn in. MSM has been predicting their imminent fall for months, but nada.

  3. If this goes to war, this will result in millions of new Persian refugees in the USA.
    flag that for future reference.

  4. Well, I'm shocked……..
    Just shocked that transtifa did not join Hasen Been Sobar and the mullahs to fight off the US millitary………

    Frozen water bottles, shields made from plastic barrels, bicycle helmets and menacing goggles.

  5. Announce on the airwaves — Trump says "Americans can't go to Iran."
    The TDS groupies will flock there

  6. I hope this is clean & quick, but I'm betting Iran & all their lunatic muslin friends are going to see they kill as many whites, europeans & Israelis as they can, ANY way they can.

  7. Why is this war so urgent Trump can't bother to get permission from Congress?
    Oh, and make a case directly to The American People.

  8. neocons and Israel first guys in Trump admin and uniparty are pushing war with Iran and ww3. Trump has been pushed around to fulfill the neocons wishes!

  9. THIS is why it is important to keep our military strong, capable and well equipped. Also why we need to keep our manufacturing and any other things we might need to conduct a war (oil and oil reserves) if we are ever attacked. Don't want to have to go begging like Ukraine, because they couldn't defend themselves.

  10. Please, President Trump, don't get America into a war. The USA has nothing to gain except keeping China out of Iran. Find a way to take out Khamenei and return the country to the Iranian people, but no war.

    • It won't be a "war" not a boots on the ground sort, at least. Trump just needs Space Force to help the Navy pinpoint where the majority of the Satanic Islamofascist pedophile Mullahs are hiding and where the Grand Ayatollah is busy molesting little boys, and boom. Take them out. Take out key military posts and let the people of Iran take over.

      • Nuttyyahoo is going to try everything that he can to make it a US boots on the ground war. And that especially includes false flag attacks. Get ready for an upcoming Gulf of Tonkin style event, to be blamed on Iran, but likely Nuttyyahoo initiated.

    • Dear Muslim Durden,

      Yes, this war started way back in 1948, try to keep up with current events.

      And for all you patriots out there, buy ammo, firearms, long term food, ham radios, water filtration and unfriend the likes of Muslim Durdens.

  11. .
    *** WARNING ***

    Unforced Mistake in Progress, please President Trump, do not follow Israels Orders…

    Plenty of Experts are saying not to.

    Who replaces Mullahs …? Likely Worse.
    .

    • Maybe? But we've been letting this Cancer grow for far too long. Cancer needs to be removed!

      (I know… I had Stomach Cancer!)

      • .
        As far as a “Direct” threat, that’s Israel’s problem, we can help after an attack.

        We’re an ally but nobody’s been attacked by Iran.
        .

        • American’s have been slaughtered by Sunni Muzlems from Iran almost since 1979! Cancer spreads! There are tons of them here now! Keep your head on a swivel when this goes hot.

          • .
            I agree, that’s what Congress is for.

            He “Must” get a declaration of War, this is not a “response” or an “emergency”.

            No President can start Wars at a Whim.
            Or for Israel…
            .

    • People like Eastern Europe, Cuba and now Venezuela, who have had the boot of totalitarian Communism on their throats are now firmly pro freedom and pro American. The same will happen in Iran when the Ayatollahs are gone.

          • .
            Shove your “Fake” Jewish Love

            Israel is pulling the Strings unless your a complete idiot.

            How did Iran Provoke America…?

            Oh yeah, by Threatening Israel.
            .

          • .
            America can fight our Wars, since you’ve no real idea about what’s going on, Israel can go fight theirs.

            I’ve never blamed Israel for any of my problems.

            They are a Problem for America.
            .

    • Who would be worse?

      Let's remove the Mullahs, ensure their nukes are destroyed, allow the protesters
      to take control then come home. There is no need for American troops on the
      ground. Iran's army is of literally no match for the U.S. We should allow the
      Israelis to join in if they want.

      Since we stuck our nose in this summer and attacked their Fordow plant
      with bunker busters we are in this for the long haul. The U.S. is now a
      retaliatory target for any nukes Iran builds. The U.S. absolutely can't allow the
      Iranians to build a nuke arsenal.

      • .
        Stop being faked out by the Government Stories…

        They’re not able to Strike America from Iran…

        I guess you want another 25 years of “they’re 2 week away” from crazy Netanyahu…?
        .

        • And you can stop your Pro Nazi 214/7 Jew hate mongering racism. Not everything is about Israel. I swear you morons blame Cuba and Fidel Castro on Israel too.

          • .
            Another anti-American, Isarel first Scumbag…?

            Shove it you know nothing and feel free to go to hell.

            Your statems mean NOTHING…

            Like you.
            .

  12. Another war because of rumers of WMDs from Israel. How does this benefit us? I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

    • Oh really? You think Saddam didn't have WMDs? I worked for NSA at that time, they did, although you may believe it was Santa Claus that dropped poison gas (WMDs) on the Kurds and Shiites but not Iraq.

      • We removed over 2 million lbs of yellow cake very publically. The press was invited in March or May 2006 to witness it. Flown to Diego Garcia and loaded on ships bound for Northern Canada (although I don't think the WH said that).

  13. 11:37 PM there. Sounds about right to light it up with stealth. This had better be succinct and over quick. We still don't know if the US is even involved. It may be all Israel.

  14. I hope Iran missile strikes the real great Satan, Isreal, into the sea. Bunch of warmongering morons trying to drag us into their crap! I’m sick of it! And up yours Hoft!

  15. Can we send over ballistics missile with Lady Lindsey Graham, Sean shammity, mark Levin, John Thune , and mitch mcconeel tipped warheads. ?

  16. So Iran is still 2 weeks away from nukes they have been 2 weeks away from for longer than I have been alive. They are pretty slow with their time it seems.

          • There were pics that hit the airwaves then quickly disappeared from the news showing bunches of trucks at the suspected storage facility for yellow cake. They were gone by the time U.S. soldier got there.

            People also forget that chemical weapons are considered weapons of mass destruction. They spent a long time disposing all the mustard gas, etc. they DID find in Iraq. So even without the yellow cake, Iraq undoubtedly had weapons of mass destruction.

          • They also found the Yellow Cake, but for some reason Cheney did not want Bush to say anything about it. So two Republicans sued the Bush Admin to get them to admit that yes, they did find previously unknown quantities of Yellow Cake and components for other unrelated WMN programs including mobile chemical labs.

            They had to sue Bush to get that to come out. I think one Congressman was Tom Tancredo from CO? And possibly John Cunningham from CA. Someone like that, at any rate. Deep State also got even with those guys after their success suing Bush and Cheney.

        • Since the revolution for sure. Which happened right after we sold them F-14s (early A-models which had teething pains, largely around the original P&W TF30 engines). Which they still have but unknown if they are airworthy.

          That's one reason the Pentagon ordered the US Navy to destroy all spare parts for the Tomcat after retirement. Those on a stick or on ground display had their titanium wing boxes cut to keep from ever being flyable again.

          • Which is also what Iran-Contra was about too. Stealing parts from the US Navy inventory and giving them to Iran in order to help the Contras.

            Thing is the US Navy was not the only Country to run the F-14.

            I joined the Navy in '88 and had to do some TAD time assigned to the base supply chain, delivering F-14 parts to the various squadrons. And the theft of parts was still a sort point of contention, when I went to work there. Everyone suspicious of everyone else and the Filipino Mafia accusing every white boy of being an undercover NCIS asset. So threats were oft made about loose lips and what happens to rats.

            All of that was long after Reagan and Col. Oliver North. But the theft was still on going and there had been a big Filipino theft ring bused, shortly before I hit the fleet or while I was in Boot Camp? The supply chiefs (Filipino) told me that the thieves had made off with Phenix and Sidewinder missiles, but the Iranians even wanted tires and wheel assemblies, too.

          • Which really makes me wonder how Iran can still keep those things flying. I read the other day they had a crash of an old F-4 during a training mission. The pilot died but the backseater survived. Likely because the backseater goes out first as you I'm sure know.

          • Well, that is also the prime reason that the US Air Force (they make the procurement decisions for aircraft for all branches, back then) decided to ditch the F-14 instead of continuing the program with the F-14D and beyond. Backwards compatibility of parts.
            They got all those spar parts from Iran-Contra and other theft programs, other nations that were also flying the F-14. And I am certain that they stole or bought tech like Laser Deposition printing and the like, and started to make their own parts where they could.

          • IIRC the original TFX program was won by General Dynamic's F-111 and the US Navy actually had a version and they carrier tested it. The landing gear was just not up to snuff and pilots complained about visibility on approach. It had a shorter nose. That's how Grumman got the F-14 idea.

          • Yeah the last time I saw one fly was at Pensacola NAS in 2004 at the Blues November homecoming show. I never knew it would be the last time I'd see one fly. I at least have it on VHS video! That D-model Tomcat with the more powerful engines was just epic. Videos on YT of some of the last demos.

          • They still fly our F-4s too we sold them during the Shah's reign. One crashed the other day as a matter of fact.

    • Where's that estimate coming from? We bombe all their Nuke production facilities lie 6 going on 8 months ago.

      • I don’t know where the estimate comes from, but all the warmongers are spouting it. “Iran is 2 weeks from gaining nukes, we have to stop them”. The lie is older than I am.

  17. If Republicans are in office, and down in the polls, -Attack Iran
    If the Demoscum are in office, and down in the polls-Attack White People.

  18. Gas prices so far are still low and stabilized. If this goes hot, get ready for the DemonRATs to take full advantage of that going into the midterms. We don't need this. Just my opinion.

    • We do not get oil from Iran.

      While other countries do, they may acquire from other places driving prices up, but not like during the gulf war.

      Venezuela oil will stable our market some. And if we flip their leadership, then the price drops a lot. (We produce a lot more than they do, though)

      • No we do not of course, but anything that goes hot in the ME has the speculators panicking. It's an internationally traded commodity. I've been watching this crazy fluctuation spazzout since Gulf War I in 1991.

        • Actually we produce about twice as much as Venezuela, and ours is generally lighter. The speculators always panic, especially when about 14% of the world's production passes through the Straits of Hormuz, but it will be a temporary thing.
          Fill your gas tank today.

        • The biggest fear in the market is a shutdown of the Suez canal. If Iran gets a lucky missile on it, a LOT of global trade will be affected. But there IS some of that already built in because the Houthis remain a potential threat so the red sea is bieng avoided by much shipping.

          • Oh we saw that already a few years ago in global commerce disruption when that Evergreen container ship beached itself. That was right when we were recovering from the Covidiot lockdowns too post-2020.

          • Get a map out and look up the Strait of Hormuz, and where it's located. Most of the world's "spice" flows through there, and NOT just from Iran.

    • Meh. Trump is initiating more Drill Baby Drill in Texas & Gulf of America today, and we now have access to buy literal boat loads of Venezuelan oil on the cheap, too.

      • Doesn't matter. Oil is a global traded commodity. If a Mullah sneezes in Iran, gas speculators spike the futures. This is not a new thing.

        • OPEC, the price fixing consortium, will try to increase the price…
          But I think the US and Ven Production can counter that at least reasonably…
          Until the fixers sales drop.
          Most always, Russia refuses to lessen production…they don't want the hassel of shutting down the fields that will freeze.

  19. I'm sick and tiredof footing the bill for Israel. Baited into another wr for no reason. Iran offers zero threat to the United States. Zero .same as Russia, Yet we go to war with them both. But we have out of control gangs and illegals in this county and nothing is done.

      • Probably was cheering when Iran had a hit team on US soil trying to assassinate President Trump.
        The nanosecond they start mindlessly blabbering about Isreal, I know the DNCcp imbeciles have arrived.

      • WIth that attitude we should go attack every country in the world. Every single country in the world is a threat to the United States. Every single one of them send in illegals aliens that drain out tax dollars. And steal our tax dollars. They haven’t been a threat for 40 years. I can wait

        • With that attitude we would never lift a finger until an enemy literally has the power to destroy America.

          None of those other countries vow to destroy America. You wait all you want and let someone else do the dirty work.

          • We allowed every country in the world to have nuclear weapons. Each and every one of them is a threat. Iran has been weeks away from a nuclear weapon for 35 years. They are no loser today then they were 35 years ago. It’s all Isreal propaganda to get us into a war. How does the ayatollah hold power. By saying death to Israel and United States. It all empty threats. So for 35 years they have the same talking points and do nothing. We dropped bombs on them a few months back. What did they do? NADA. They are no threat to this country but hey are a threat to Israel.

    • I thought President Trump is deporting illegals that the Democrats invited in and tough on gang members.

      • Not nearly enough or fast enough. We went 1000 agents to Minneapolis and deported like 500 people over 3 months. In a city that has about 100k somalis. At this rate they will all be deported by the year 4090

          • Too many liberals. They should have been arrested for domestic terrorism and shipped to Gitmo. That how you end the protest. Round up 500 and show them that you mean business. Then it ends. Now they feel empowered because they won. Now they will never be deporte or charged with crimes.

          • You’re right. Laws were made to be enforced but Democrats have done away with the law of the land and break laws themselves…then they get on camera and say no one is above the law.

          • With a show of force they would have been defeated. Instead they did nothing and they grew stronger after defeating ICE and border patrol. The blueprint will be followed in every city. And conservatives will say how did we lose the midterms. Being weak in Minneapolis will be the cause of of it

  20. I grew up noticing the first people to run over and watch a fight were the ones that were never in any contest. Yelled the loudest. Mocked the loser. Very very few of the bloodthirsty war mongers have ever been in harms way, nor their children.
    everytime we go to war / military conflict 10% of white house personnel and legislators chosen at random should be located on the Frontlines HQ. Wars would be far between.

        • No! I've worked in NATO and seen the "veterans" of the conscription type militaries.
          HARD PASS! You ONLY, EVER, perform a draft when it is a DIRE STRAIT situation. Because then the conscripts have an incentive to risk their lives valiantly.

          I don't think future wars are going to be like the first battle of the CW where people pulled up for a picnic and thought the South would roll over!

          Even if they did, they won't appreciate what happens when weapons fired from 1000 miles away drop hell on their cushy areas.

          If Iran is not equipped correctly by its allies in the BRIC nations, and they get wiped quick, China and Russia are going to look weaker than they already do.

          • I don't think you will! You're not talking a draft, you are talking "conscription!"

            Totally different animal. Nations with conscripts entertain low-class military training with low class expectations, that their conscripts are all too glad to shirk for 12 months while they sleep all day and do nothing.

            A total volunteer force that is well trained, stocked, fed, AND PAID is the way to go!

            Professional forces who trickle out to reserve/militia duty in their native locations they know well, is the superior system.

            Where you have the option of a draft in case the worst should happen.
            Because only then, I suspect, will the draft "conscripts" care!

            Because they know their families back home can be threatened.

      • Nope. Good and patriotic Americans will always answer the call when attacked . I have grandpa’s on both sides that were drafted and decorated for putting kraut and ja p pelts on the wall. Neither supported Vietnam, Iraq, or reckless policing.

    • Disagree. At least 75% of White House and Congressional families as well as staffers of military age should be deployed to the front lines, first. And I mean absolutely always.

    • Hoft is a giant coward that would soil himself at the sight of tracers or a SAM coming at his aircraft flying over a target.

    • What do you want do bet that the Hoftmeister is swimming in cash when there’s war in the Middle East?

    • Future prices are always a knee jerk overreaction.

      Funny what 6 month futures vs 6 months into the future looks like.

      Gas spikes last week back to $3, now back to 2.58. There was nothing that happened in the world that changed the price and of oil that much.

  21. What if Iran already has a nuclear weapon?
    They have the money and connections to buy one or two, they don't have to make their own.

  22. Antisemite is a very loosely thrown around term. It means nothing now. Much like racist, election denier, vaccine denier, etc.

      • There are two extremes and neither one of them is particularly tolerant of anyone not committed to either side. There's the Israel and Jews are always evil, wrong, bad etc… and the Israel cannot be even criticized or questioned camp. People taking a middle of the road approach are liable to get run over.

      • No, Israel is a country and not everyone in Israel is Jewish anyway. Every country works in their own interest, I don’t have to like everything they do.

        • I’ve done my research.
          Evidently you haven’t done any.
          Let me help you out.
          “USS Liberty”
          “Dancing Israelis”
          Those are two good subjects to begin your research.
          Now get busy you lazy imbecile!

      • No, it makes you sensible. Most practicing Jews hate the contrived modern Zionist colony. They are still waiting for their Messiah as they do not recognize Jesus Christ as Lord. It was created by socialist/Marxist athiest Europeans who are not Semites. Semite is an ethnicity not a religion. There were a few Semitic Jews in the area that was a province of the Ottomans for centuries and other Empires.
        Most Semites are Muslim and Christian, with a few Jews.
        Modern Israel is ruled by the Epstein class. Pedophiles flee there to be protected from paying for their depravity.

    • I won't be voting for any MAGA/Trump Admin candidate in 2028 because they're controlled by Israel. Trump has blown it due to lack of balllls.

      • He has shown more courage than most other presidents in US history.

        They persecuted him and his family, tried to kill him twice, and he didn't surrender, but rather fought and won.

        That is what leaders are made of.

          • Standing up to anybody does not indicate courage. Courage is defined by standing for what is right at the expense of your well being.

            If you are a christian and stand against Israel, you are standing against God. Don’t confuse the Jews for Israel. Israel is the apple of God’s eye, and the reason he reconstituted the country after twenty five hundred years. Only time that has happened in world history, where a group of people reclaim their original homeland.

            You may not like the Jews, but don’t do it at the expense of Israel, because God will turn against you.

          • Exactly my point. If Trump had any courage he would put himself at personal risk of harm and death and stand up to Israel. I have Jewish friends. My focus is on Israel and those who want to use the US as a tool for Israel, even though Israel does nothing for us but cash our checks and control our Congress. I assume you’ll be triggered again by my comment, and for that I am sorry.

          • I don’t think we are on the same page. Trump has shown more courage than almost any other president in US history. Just because you don’t like the Jews, doesn’t mean he has to.

            His strategy is much broader than just one country. Take into perspective how he weakens are adversaries by taking out Iran.

          • You do understand that Israel is a nation-state — don’t you? And that I am not criticizing the actions of an ethnic group? I mean, my US Jewish friends have nothing to do with Israeli policy. I……..I’m soft of floored that I have to explain that to you.

          • I do understand that Israel is nation state, and if they can leverage us for their survival will do so.

            This is no different than Europe, who is part of NATO but outside of the UK and Poland, the other members contributes close to nothing to the alliance, and rely on the US to do the heavy lifting.

      • Iran has murdered thousands of Americans and have been at war with us for at least half a century. It's time to take them out because an Iran with modern tech is too dangerous for the free world. Thank God Trump and Netanyahu have the balls to get it done.

      • We have tens of millions of illegal immigrants we can gift them for free labor. These people are a tremendous asset to any country.

      • Actually, if you are truly paying attention you would understand this, this is exactly the best time for the regime to be overtaken.

    • Remember how Star Trek's "Prime Directive" was batted around like gospel during the Vietnam War era, then dumped during Star Trek Next Generation.
      Trekies forgot Star Trek is Science Fiction.

        • If not for the US actions of the past, making us the greatest and strongest Nation today, we would have terror and war at every coast and corner of our Nation…IN the homeland.
          You and your family would most likely be history by now…
          Because you know…not your problem until it was all Nations against the US.

          • I pay LOADS of taxes. Have since I was 16. It is my checkbook. They are asking my grandkids and unborn great grandkids to pay for this. That's the problem.

          • We all have. What makes you so special?

            I can name a hundred things our government wastes massive amounts of our taxes on. I don't see you posting on those stories.

          • We all have. What makes you so special?

            I can name a hundred things our government wastes massive amounts of our taxes on. I don't see you posting on those stories.

          • I complain about all waste. This is just supremely foolish like smoking a cigar while doing a Nascar pitstop with leaking fuel canister.

          • Not even close to a good analogy…
            Not even close.
            Instead of complaining…
            Maybe try working in the system to actually make changes.

          • You think we are under NEOCONS and war mongers. Trump don't play games and has a proven track record of getting in and out getting the job done quickly so, there will be no great price of blood on his watch like with past admins!

        • Iran made themselves our problem for over 40 years and have killed hundreds of Americans! And you can ignore their shutting down trade routes stifling the US and other countries if you chose, but that does not make it not there and not a problem!

          • Under NEOCONS who wanted a 100 year war! Not under Trump. Apparently you do not pay attention. Name a war Trump started that was longer than a few bombings? Oh you can't? Nope. Trump takes care of business like taking out ISIS in two weeks Berry the b*tt boy could not do in YEARS!

          • Your avoidance of the question is telling and proves, you have no legitimate complaint. Besides, our forces are out of reach so Iran can't do sh*t to hurt our forces doing the attacks currently!

          • Not even close to the same thing. Are you really that ignorant? First of all, Iran and Afghanistan are two separate and very different countries. The Persians in Iran (the majority of the ethnic people of Iran) are more closely aligned with the US than Afghanistan.

          • That’s funny. That’s like telling me your dog is more likely to impregnate the cat than a raccoon. Neither is compatible with western “democracy” as much as that word is abused. “Closely aligned” is fall down funny.

          • Not as good as if we had gone in hot…
            That is for sure…
            And then came the 'autopen admin'…
            Lessons learned…

        • It is your problem. Iran wants to destroy the US. They have already been doing so successfully for quite some time now, despite their clear inferiority on the military front. They are smart and they have found other ways. Iran is not just the Middle East’s problem.

      • I long have said we were the last generation to get a quality public education in the 1970s-1980. We learned about government in civics, real history, and even had trade class training called shop class. The girls had Home-Economics.

        The DemonRATs in the 1990s under Slick really started destroying our public school institutions. And of course the NEA and teacher's unions were all in.

          • They do, at least in GA and FL. I drive by those high schools occasionally and see the cones set up in the parking lots. You can always tell too because some local dealership will lend new cars for the driver’s ED class in the hopes they get some sales out of them.

  23. Obama gave them lots of money to further their nuclear workshop and told them they could monitor themselves.

  24. My friends neighbor is hitting her husband with a tennis racquet for sleeping with the pool boy. My neighbor wants me to take my bulldozer over and level the house. She warns me that pool boy fever will spread to my town if I don't plow this house. Seems legit.

    • LOL. That happens too. When I was in high school I had a spring and summer time job taking care of neighborhood pools. It paid way better per hour than the minimum wage ($3.35/hr in the 1980s) and I got the occasional eye candy. It sure beat managing the fry station at BK. There was more than one bored housewife who would intentionally sun herself by the pool when I was there. I knew what they were doing but never took the bait.

  25. Funny how leftards and Trump haters say that Iran will blow up our Aircraft Carriers and that the US would be in trouble because China and Russia have some powerful weapons they gave Iran and will help also. Truth is, China and Russia do not have a joint military agreement with Iran. This is more the truth: "even a lone carrier strike group wields greater airpower than many countries possess in total, making it virtually impossible for Iran’s navy and air force to overcome."

    That's right! The USA military under Trump has more power and ability in our Pinky than Iran has! Trump will hit hard and Iran's Mullahs will be gone and that will be the end of the story! No protracted long war!

  26. Many people actually agree with you on this. Too bad you can't keep from alienating others with your insults. I agree with you, but you suck.

  27. Cripple the followers, eradicate the leaders. The average Iranian citizen will be blessed with freedom, soon. They pray for it. Just like anywhere else, citizens are not the problem, radicals are.

  28. Are Iranian sleeper cells already in the USA? Who knows who or what came in through the southern border.

    The most likely are here….possibly living on American soil owned by them or China…. Waiting for the signal to do us harm.

    • Multiple CIA former analysts ( Sara adams and a few others) say the number of KNOWN people on the terror watch list inside the lower 48 exceeds 20,000 hate filled souls.

  29. If they make the mistake of trying to retaliate on Israel if they can't get to us, that mistake will be decisive, disproportionate destruction. Not my guess. This is literally Biblical at this point.

  30. We removed missiles and bombs with sarin, ricin and chlorine gas.
    We removed 2,112,000 lbs of yellow cake uranium.
    I don't remember the biological weapons if any.
    Just because we didn't find a "smoking gun" nuclear warhead doesn't mean shit. So Damn Insane was working on it. If W didn't go in and Saddam got one device in a container on a ship in NY harbor then everyone would agree he failed to protect the country. Bottom line is he had to go in. How the war and it's aftermath was prosecuted is open for debate but whether he, W, had a reasonable choice about going in to take away Saddam's ability to strike the US is really not debatable. He had to go in, and that part of the war was successful.

  31. More importantly, the enemies plan to destroy the economy, and inflict as much damage to individuals 401k, and IRAs as possible, before November. A 50% haircut in the S&P 500 would delight them.

  32. The grand poo-bah is hiding in his bunker somewhere in the middle of nowhere while all the dolts who worship sa tan get to be the martyrs. The poo-bah can't tell them there are no 'ins' where they are going.

  33. St up id runs deep with you. Only 55 votes? Just joined the jr. trolls? Your mom must be proud.

    BTW….the next time you go to the dentist REFUSE NOVOCAIN. It was invented by a J.

  34. Iran is going to have a nuclear weapon in 6 weeks!! Hold on..sorry. I was just reading a story from 2002..2011, 2015, 2019, 2021, 2025. Seems to be a pattern.

    • The Mullah's build a crude but effective Nuke, put it on a ship and float it into NY harbor, America will have very very big problem.

      • Why would we be on their hit list if we stopped interfering in the Middle East? They wouldn't give two hoots about us if we F'd off.

        • we are the great satan to them. They wake up in the morning chanting "Death to America". I guess you don't see a problem with that?

          • Did you not read what I wrote? We are the "Great Satan" precisely because we keep firing off missiles into ME countries, k!lling people there, sanctioning them and (in this case) collapsing their currency. All we need to do is stop interfering and we would immediately become a very tiny issue there.

          • Iran hasn't started a war of aggression since before the United States was a nation. No they don't care about us "being Christian." The problem is us bombing them, sanctioning them, killing their generals, etc. All of this is fairly obvious.

          • ^^^^^^Part of the problem.

            They finance terror organizations across the globe. They kill Christians in their own country. The mullahs' goal of sustaining and spreading their revolution is stopped or at least at this time slowed by America.

            You keep right on believing what you want.

          • I disagree. Granted, some of our politicians pay fealty to a foreign entity (mainly China), but not all and there are a large number of patriots among the Republicans (the old guard is compromised) and at least one Democrat. The swamp needs to be drained and the House cleaned!

          • Why does nearly every Congressman take money from AIPAC, which is basically a foreign lobby? Why do so many dual citizens hold high-level positions in our government? It's fairly clear that we are not operating for our own advantage.

      • Some just don't understand the danger Iran is to us and a large portion of the world by various means.

  35. Keep in mind there are terrorist cells here in the States. obama let them in and obiden let their support troops in also.

  36. We have no interest in invading and taking them over. Just make sure they absolutely will not be able to develop a Nuke, ever, and set their military capability back so far they will be riding camels again.

  37. LOLOL! How old is that guy? The Ford had to stop at Greece so its crew could use the restrooms while the poop deck and crappers on board were repaired. The Ford after being repaired will head to Israel and help protect it from being destroyed.

    It won't be used to attack Iran.

    • ✓ Wasting taxpayer money and risking soldiers' lives
      ✓ Serving another nation instead of our own
      ✓ Making the US a target of revenge
      Yeah, those sound pretty cool. I shouldn't do any "boohooing."

    • Once the action starts I will be for our servicemen of course, but this operation has lots of risk and our country is at stake. Remember what the Iraq war did to GW Bushes presidency and what came after that. This scenario could very well play out again and if they get in power again our country will be toast, is it worth that ? You have to ask yourself that

      • You worry about the Democrats taking power back? Stop worrying and get off your backside and get R voters to the polls and make them understand why it's so important! Don't whine and complain, DO!

  38. I really hope our military has weapons that we've never heard of , otherwise this is a really bad move by Trump.

  39. Funny thing. Take a look at other news outlets. Nobody is reporting this. Hoft is having another obsessive moment it seems. Go ahead, look. Rubio plans to go to Iran to meet again next week. How does this make sense?

    • Come into reality and realize this in not just for Israel, it is or the entire Planet's good.
      Let's shut down iran, the ones who are funding and creating 85% of the worlds terror and terrorist, how abut it?

    • How many wars or attacks should we allow Israel to lose? It seems they did OK for themselves in 1948 and 1967 but then other bad actors that want to populate Israel started banding together.

        • Very True. This action is in AMERICA’S, and probably the world’s, best interest. IF Iran gains ground, gains control of the region, or God forbid; obtains nuclear capabilities, many more people will regret not taking action.

  40. I think a lot of our problems are going to end when these Terrorist's money supply is eliminated. An Islamic man came to my door this morning with a delivery from Amazon prime in his personal car. He was on the phone speaking Arabic very loud and upset. I could understand a little bit of what he was saying until he got closer to my front door. He was very angry about having to leave and angry towards me as I was standing in front of him. I know his Visa got pulled from his phone conversation, and he was very very hostile as he spoke to me calling me an infidel. My first reaction from my training was to blow him away but i hesitated , lucky for him. I think he realized that I could understand him and saw my sidearm so he gave me a vulgar salute and took off. So you all keep your head on a swivel because things are always closer than they seem. Be Safe, because alot of these people are crazy. Peace.

    • Obama and Biden let in thousands of Islamic terrorists through their "refugee" programs, student visas, work visas, botched Afghanistan withdrawal, and open borders.

      So yes, we need to be awake and aware.

      And expertly use our 2A (if needed) that our Founding Fathers wisely gave us.

    • I went to Costco to fill my car with gas one afternoon. There was an arab appearing guy in front of me with his door open and his "call to prayer" blasting on audio. I had to start singing Amazing Grace to counter it. Luckily my car takes a long time to fill.

  41. Given the goat peoples propensity of burning down churches and destroying the religious monuments of other people everywhere they go, how about, while we're over there, we drop a MOAB on that rock they walk to all the time.

  42. If you're not out of Iran by now you have no one to blame but yourself. Unlike Traitor Joe's traitorous surrender of Afghanistan, you've been warned.

  43. I hope the people of Iran overthrow their fascist oppressors, but I do not believe the US should start a war with Iran.
    The American people are sick and tired of us being the world's policeman.

  44. There is ZERO US interest in going to war or dropping bombs on Iran, but call that out and you'll get downvoted. I am America First on every issue, but those who downvote me aren't.

  45. Van Hollen want to have one last margarita with the heads of Iran state before they are sent off to the awaiting virgins?

  46. I have considered this for the past couple of weeks.
    While we would have an interest in kiboshing an Iranian nuclear program,
    I believe the former, such as it was, was set back years by the June bombings.

    So what is this about?
    My instinct is its about conventional weapons, specifically, Iran's advancing ballistic missile program,
    which does not threaten the USA proper, but does threaten Israel.

    So why doesn't Israel take care of this themselves?
    The answer is simple.
    Over the last 16 years, instead of investing in a more comprehensive missile defense program
    and aerial offensive capabilities,
    Netanyahu siphoned billion$ in welfare to his Haredi coalition allies.
    Now we have the spectacle of Netanyahu darkening The Oval Office every 2 months,
    pestering Trump for money and weapons.
    Netanyahu's domestic political ambitions, negligence, and incompetence
    have led us to American GIs putting their lives on the line for Israel.

  47. It''s approximately 3 hours before sunrise in Tehran and as it is the start of the weekend I'm wondering if the pre-dawn attack will begin shortly.
    President Trump is a man of action so if he's going to do it then I don't think he'll be waiting long to give the "go" word

  48. I have total faith in Trump and our military power, but I worry Iran already has nuclear weapons, they could have easily obtained some from Russia or China.

  49. "Another Saturday night and Tehran is exploding.
    I got a shelter cause I just got paid.
    How I wish I could open the tin cans.
    I'm in an awful state."

    Yes, I know it's Friday. Poetic license.

  50. I didn't vote for a war with Iran, sorry, Trump is the best president we've had in our lifetimes but none of us voted for a war with Iran.
    I want my electric bill and my food costs to go down.
    I want my country back.
    I want lower taxes for everyone.
    I want an accounting for the money that's gone missing.
    I want the illegal aliens out now.
    I'd love for the people of Iran to overthrow the mullahs and Reza Palavi to become the Shah…but I don't want us to bomb Iran. I don't want another middle eastern war.

    • Iran has been at war with the US for 47 Years !! The War has been going on that long. So sad you deny the obvious.

      God Bless Trump !!

  51. There are consequences when diplomacy fails. The price is always paid by civilians and the young we send to fight our wars. Iran has been fighting a largely asymmetrical war – funding terrorist proxies and killing their enemies directly when the opportunity arises. Their 7th century religious Oligarchs have imposed their nihilism on all of their citizens and throughout the world with little consequence- until now. Our goal should be to support the citizens of Iran. We should not look to put boots on the ground. With enough assistance, Irans people will isolate and expel the Mullahs.

  52. BOMB, BOMB,BOMB……Bomb, Bomb … IRAN !!! … :- )))))))

    Bombs away …. Yeah !

    God Bless Trump, God Bless Israel….. God Speed to the US Military and the IDF !!!!
