Trump’s attack on Iran ‘won’t make Epstein files go away,’ GOP Rep. Massie says
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) joins MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss a resolution he co-sponsored with Republican Rep. Thomas Massie that would limit Donald Trump‘s ability to wage war in Iran without congressional approval. Rep. Khanna says of Trump who campaigned against forever wars: “Never in the modern history of this country has someone lied as blatantly in one office on such a false pretense.”
I Was a US Intelligence Analyst. Israel and the US Are Lying to You About Iran
What was true in June still is true now: There’s no evidence the Iranian government is on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon (despite Netanyahu’s claims to the contrary for the past 30 years), the Iranian military do not have weapons that can strike the US (despite Trump’s claim to the contrary) – a fact confirmed by my old employer, the Defense Intelligence Agency – and Iran’s leaders had no intention of preemptively attacking US forces in the Middle East.
The Trump administration’s pained justification that Iran planned to fire missiles “preemptively, but if not, if not simultaneous, against with any actions against them,” is beyond dubious given that the Iranian government watched US forces posturing to attack for weeks and did not, in fact, launch a preemptive strike against them (and “simultaneous” is an exceptionally creative way to say “firing missiles after we start attacking them”).
If Iran really represented an immediate threat to the American people, why has Trump been telegraphing this attack since mid-January?
Lawmakers: Israeli plan to attack Iran dictated Trump’s decision on strikes
Senior lawmakers in both parties said Monday that the Trump administration’s decision to launch bombing and missile strikes across Iran this weekend was largely dictated by Israel’s plan to attack Iran with or without U.S. support.
Trump admin warned lawmakers Israel was ‚determined to act with or without us‘ before massive Iran strikes
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., described the recent U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran as a defensive measure, saying, „Israel was determined to act with or without us“ following a classified briefing on Monday evening.
„They had to evaluate the threats to the U.S., to our troops, to our installations, to our assets in the region and beyond. And they determined, because of the intelligence that we had, that a coordinated response was necessary,“ Johnson said.
Terrifying Conclusion of Secret Senate War Briefing Revealed
Warner told reporters those officials had explained how, prior to those strikes, Israel had warned it was facing an imminent threat from Tehran. Israel’s plans to attack first, the officials apparently went on, had effectively forced the U.S. into a pre-emptive assault on Iranian targets, on the basis of protecting American military assets across the region from prospective retaliatory strikes by the Islamic regime.
Trump Says Wars Can Be Fought ‘Forever’ With ‘Virtually Unlimited’ Weapons Stockpiles
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “The United States Munitions Stockpiles have, at the medium and upper medium grade, never been higher or better.”
The president then claimed the U.S. has “a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons,” and added “Wars can be fought ‘forever,’ and very successfully, using just these supplies.”
Watch live: Trump, German chancellor give remarks amid Iran conflict
President Trump and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz are holding a bilateral meeting at the White House on Tuesday, just days after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran.
Merz is the first world leader to meet face-to-face with Trump since the attacks. While the meeting was planned in advance, the widening conflict in the Middle East is likely to be a key topic.
