Iran Threatens to Attack US Bases in European Countries

“There is no justification for any country to fear Iran unless that country opens its territory to the United States for aggression against Iran,” Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Monday. “It is Iran’s right to target the source and origin of any aggressive action against the Islamic Republic.”

USA erwÀgen nuklearen Schlag gegen den Iran

Laut Wilkerson sitzt der eigentliche Treiber dieses Krieges sitzt nicht in Washington, sondern in Jerusalem. Benjamin Netanjahu, so Wilkerson, sei der Einzige, der den Krieg „richtig interpretiert“ habe – nĂ€mlich als seine letzte Chance, den Iran endgĂŒltig zu erledigen.

Trump, so die Analyse, sei in eine Falle getappt – „komplett fehlinterpretiert“ habe er den Konflikt. Und jetzt sei er gefangen: Netanjahu werde ihn nicht gehen lassen, egal wie sehr Trump einen RĂŒckzug brauche. Schon im MĂ€rz hatte Wilkerson gegenĂŒber Democracy Now gewarnt, Netanjahu sei bereit, eine Atomwaffe einzusetzen, „sollte es so schlimm werden, wie es gerade aussieht“.

Pentagon wants ‘expanding options’ for nuclear weapons, officials say

(August 7, 2026)

The start of the review was announced by Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby during a keynote speech Wednesday. In his comments, Colby repeatedly emphasized the term “options,” though he stressed that as of right now, he had “no announcement of any kind of change” regarding the Pentagon’s nuclear policy.

“There’s, you know, a review or sort of relook at the employment guidance, which is more about the commander of STRATCOM [Strategic Command] and his responsibilities and [the defense] secretary’s authorities, etcetera,” he said in Omaha, Neb., during the 2026 Deterrence Symposium. Colby also noted that the review will not be released to the general public.

Colby’s comments were not publicly broadcast, but a copy of the audio was shared with Breaking Defense.

They are discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings. Yes you read that correctly. It’s real. I’m not speculating, I know. And it’s pure evil.

The last time a nuclear weapon was used was August 6th and 9th of 1945 on two cities in Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, immediately killing 110,000 people, vaporizing people at ground zero, and total deaths reached 214,000 by the end of the year from severe burns and trauma.

But the extreme suffering continued for the Japanese people from radiation sickness, skyrocketing cancer rates, and generational birth defects.

Not to mention wiping out all means of their economy.

And the suffering was so great that all of humanity vowed, “never again.”

Trump and his admin were told by our own intelligence that Iran was no where near creating a nuclear weapon, then Israel said the same line it’s repeated for decades, “Iran is only weeks away.”

So we bombed anyways, killed their leaders and innocent little children in a school, and Iran has controlled the Strait of Hormuz ever since and punished the region for their part in it.

And now our government is the one actually discussing lowering the nuclear threshold in order to use nuclear weapons against Iran even though Trump claims he’s won the war like 40 times and says the U.S. controls the SoH.

Trump promised no more foreign wars, but may actually be the one who delivers a nuclear holocaust that would likely drag the entire world into major conflict, economic depression, and mass human suffering we’ve never seen in our lifetimes and maybe throughout history.

People need to speak out and boldly stop this insanity.

America is not untouchable.

If and when that happens, everyone, and I do mean everyone, will hold ALL of those in leadership right now fully responsible for the rest of human history.

Do not use nuclear weapons and stop this war NOW.

Vance says low oil prices are top US goal in Iran conflict

Vance‘s comments also underscored the growing reality that the war now centers on control of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has forced to the top of the negotiating agenda.

„I know that oil is down today and it‘s way down from the highs in the early days of the conflict,“ Vance said on Fox News. „That‘s goal number one — keep oil and gas cheap for Americans all over our country.“

„And then obviously goal number two is ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon,“ he added.

The vice president has been among the members of the administration most skeptical of the offensive launched against Iran in late February.

US to use military, economic, diplomatic tools to end Iran war: Vance

Asked about the setbacks in negotiations with Iran, Vance cited two factors: “Number one, the Iranians are extraordinarily difficult people. Number two, they have a fractured system.”

“There are people within their system that want the war to be over and there are also people in their system that are crazy radicals who want the war to continue,” he said.

“Our job is to navigate through that and get the best outcome for the American people and for the President of the United States as well.”

Mysterious Attacks on Ecuadorian Fishers Raise Fears of Expanded US Boat Bombings

According to the Times, it was registered to a private company whose address was a UPS store mailbox in Virginia, deepening the mystery over who was operating it—and for whom.

“It would be one thing if the US didn’t have an overt maritime strike campaign, but they do, and they’re posting snuff films of boats going up in flames regularly,” Brian Finucane, a former State Department lawyer who specializes in the laws of war, told the Times.

“And that’s what makes this even more squirrelly,” added Finucane, now a senior adviser in the US Program at the International Crisis Group. “Who are these people that are operating, and under what authority? And they are using a UPS store as their company address? Come on.”

Some American officials suspect the Israeli warning fit a pattern of Jerusalem using intelligence to shape US policy, particularly given its deep concerns about Iran and unease over closer US-Turkey ties. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was briefed on the threat and the ruse but reportedly stayed on the larger Air Force One. Speaking to the Post, Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen questioned whether the Israeli information was „independently verifiable,“ calling the episode „a little fantastical.“

How the Iran-Contra Scandal Impacts American Politics Today

(May 14, 2025)

The revelation of the intertwined scandals captivated Americans. Between the fall of 1986 and the fall of 1987, more than seven out of 10 Americans watched some of the televised congressional hearings about Iran-Contra. But once it became clear that Democrats would not impeach Reagan, public interest waned. Unlike Watergate, when a smoking gun tape implicated President Richard Nixon, to many, the 1980s scandal seemed a blur of byzantine Cold War diplomacy, opaque Swiss bank accounts, and a large cast of forgettable middlemen. The country boxed up the ugly affair and stored it in the attic of its memory.

It did so even as the scandal persisted and investigators indicted dozens of administration officials. In 1988, Reagan’s vice president, George H.W. Bush, won the presidency, and throughout his entire administration, those responsible for Iran-Contra dodged the political and legal consequences of their actions.

Ukraine steht ohne Luftabwehr da

Wie Simplicius76 bereits am 7. Juli 2026 detailliert ausfĂŒhrte, produziert Lockheed Martin derzeit rund 650 PAC-3-Abfangraketen pro Jahr — fĂŒr die gesamte Welt. Das sind lĂ€cherliche 54 StĂŒck pro Monat. Die Ukraine allein brĂ€uchte ein Vielfaches davon, denn doktrinĂ€r werden pro anfliegender Rakete mindestens zwei, oft vier oder gar sechs Interceptoren abgefeuert.

(…)

Die Lieferkette fĂŒr eine einzelne PAC-3 umfasst ĂŒber 400 Zulieferbetriebe. Die Endmontage allein dauert sechs Wochen. Die Gesamtvorlaufzeit liegt bei mehr als zwei Jahren. Das ist kein Produktionssystem — das ist ein bĂŒrokratisches Monster, das fĂŒr einen kurzen, intensiven Konflikt völlig ungeeignet ist.

VerschÀrfend kommt hinzu: Die USA haben im MÀrz 2026 ihren eigenen Krieg gegen den Iran begonnen und brauchen ihre Patriot-BestÀnde nun selbst.

Trump Threatens ‘Leakers’ With Jail Time Over Reports About Munitions Shortages

(August 6, 2026)

Media reports have also said that the US has used up nearly all of its ATACMS missiles and Precision-Strike Missiles, which were both used extensively in strikes on Iran.

Trump also responded to a report from The Washington Post that said he lashed out at US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over the munitions shortages, which one source told the outlet was part of the reason why Trump held off on his threats to dramatically escalate the war.

Sources told the Post that on the sidelines of a recent cabinet meeting at Camp David, Trump vented his frustration at Hegseth over the munitions shortages. The report said that Hegseth then blamed his deputy, Stephen Feinberg, for both the shortages and for failing to ensure Trump was informed about the issue.

Senate Confirms ‘Personal Servant to Donald Trump’ Blanche as AG in Late-Night Vote

Around 4:30 am ET, the US Senate voted 50-49 to confirm Blanche, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney and acting attorney general since April, as the nation’s chief law enforcement officer. It did so despite widespread concerns, including among some Republicans, that he would use the office primarily to carry out the president’s whims.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), one of two Republicans who voted against Blanche, outlined her concerns in a social media post Friday ahead of the vote, saying Trump had “accelerated” the “politicization—even weaponization” of the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and that Blanche had played a part.

Lebanon, Israel agree shortlist of countries that could send troops to verify Hezbollah disarmament

The list was produced during meetings between Lebanon and Israel at the US embassy in Rome this week, the latest round of talks on how to implement a previous deal on 26 June that linked Israel‘s progressive withdrawal of troops from Lebanon to the disarmament of ​Hezbollah, which would be „verified“ by a third party.

Hezbollah is not a party to the agreement and has refused to give up its arsenal.

„We have reached a short list of countries. We decided which parties were impossible for each and set the potential actors,“ the Lebanese official said.

„The Americans will now decide, and could pick more than one country.“

Tucker Responds to the Israel Lobby Defeating Thomas Massie (Transcript)

They’re mad at Massie. Why? One Republican out of 217 who hasn’t taken money from the Israeli lobby. Why are they so mad at him? Why was it so important for the Israeli lobby to spend tens of millions of dollars to crush this guy?

It wasn’t stopping really the status quo in any way. He did help get some of the Epstein files released, and God bless him for that. He tried his hardest. But one man against 216 other members of his party is not going to get very far by definition, so why don’t you just leave him alone? Why force the issue?
