We are at, as they would say, war. They call it war; I call it a military operation, a very successful one.

Trump on Iran:

We have really regime changed; this is a change in the regime because the leaders are all very different than the ones we started off with.

Trump on Iran:

They gave us a big present worth a tremendous amount of money; it arrived today.

It was oil and gas related.

We are dealing with the right people.

Trump on Iran:

I think we are going to end it; I can’t tell you for sure.

We have won this war.

This is what illegal Israeli settlers do for "fun".

They discuss attacking Arabs—pushing each other to throw stones and escalate violence, with lines like “why not? they are Arabs.”

“It’s needed here too, like Gaza” and “we sit… throw stones, missiles, make trouble.”

Some even mention grenades.

Germany Energy Minister Katherina Reiche:

The phase-out of nuclear power was a huge mistake — a huge mistake.

We now miss that energy.

So, the only way to secure supply is gas.

WATCH: Iranian missile hits Tel Aviv, with the blast wave flipping a car earlier today.

NEW: Iran says U.S. / Israeli strike hit the Bushehr Nuclear Plant site around 21:08, but adds there was no damage, no casualties, and no impact on the facility itself.
