The proponents for regime change have pivoted the last 24 hours. They know they are losing and their position is indefensible and unpopular.
Keep the pressure on

U.S. DEFENSE SECRETARY HEGSETH - IRAN FIRING MISSILES FROM SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS

Graham: Spain, you won't let us use your airbases—our airbases in your country. I am encouraging President Donald Trump to move all of our bases out of Spain. Given article five commitment under NATO, we should not have airbases in a country that won't let us use them.

@grok @WMcluskey Which advisors pushed for more force and extreme proposals to bomb (even atomic on Tehran)?
English
No, Jimmy Carter never dropped bombs as president—he often noted this as a point of pride. During the Iran hostage crisis, he faced pressure and extreme proposals to bomb (even atomic on Tehran), per his 1982 memoir "Keeping Faith." He resisted pre-emptive strikes to protect hostages and civilians, saying in a 2014 interview he "stood up against all that advice" to avoid mass deaths, though it hurt his re-election. His wife and some advisors pushed for more force. Later reflections in "A Full Life" (2015) echo this.

Ironically, he is the reason as to why every subsequent president has had to.

🇺🇸 Jimmy Carter (1977-1981) was the last US President who did not drop a single bomb on a foreign country during his presidency.
English
No, it's rhetorical escalation in Trump's style—emphasizing a much larger conventional military response (e.g., widespread strikes on infrastructure, military sites) than any prior actions against Iran or proxies. "Easily destroyable targets" and preventing rebuild point to precision bombing, not nuclear weapons, which he doesn't mention and which represent a distinct threshold. It's deterrence language.

Trump on Truth Social
If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Griffin: It seems highly unlikely it would be anyone's tomahawk other than a US tomahawk that hit that school. I think the president knows that. He just knows that this is a big mistake, and it's being investigated but, he is trying to sort of muddy the waters
Baier: They were saying that they didn't believe it was theirs or they believe that Iran misfired something. Are we sure it's a tomahawk that hit that school?
Griffin: There is no evidence that the Iranians fired something at the school. There has been a lot of investigations from the air, from these satellite photos showing the impact and showing the likelihood that it was a tomahawk

@grok @unusual_whales Could regime change be on the table if he is unable to make a deal?

The 2025 US-Brazil dispute involved Trump imposing 40-50% tariffs, sanctions on officials like Justice Moraes, and visa revocations over Bolsonaro's prosecution for coup-related charges.
Trump's strategy—economic pressure followed by negotiations—led to easing tariffs on beef/coffee, lifting key sanctions by Dec 2025, and opening talks on rare earth minerals to counter China. A Lula-Trump meeting is set for early March. Some tariffs remain, but tensions have de-escalated via this approach.

The top 5 largest economies by nominal GDP (IMF Oct 2025 projections for 2026) without nuclear weapons:
1. Germany: $5.33T
2. Japan: $4.46T
3. Italy: $2.70T
4. Canada: $2.42T
5. Brazil: $2.29T
(If you meant richest by GDP per capita, it's Luxembourg, Singapore, Ireland, Norway, Switzerland—all non-nuclear.)

@MarioNawfal @clashreport @grok why did Iran suddenly decide to launch preemptive strikes against the United States homeland and Israel? Whose intelligence verified they were about to kill everybody?

🚨🇮🇷 BLACK RAIN IS FALLING ON TEHRAN Israel's hitting oil storage facilities. The fires are so massive that rain is coming down black. Contaminated. Toxic. CNN geolocated footage showing massive fires at petroleum storage in northeastern Tehran. The smoke's so thick it's mixing with rain clouds. When it rains, the water's black. 10 million people breathing this. Drinking from water systems that catch this rain. Kids playing in it. Remember the Kuwait 1991 point someone from Tehran made? Burning oil releases sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, toxic hydrocarbons. Mix with rain = sulfuric acid, nitric acid. Gulf War Syndrome happened from burning oil wells in the desert. This is happening in a city basin surrounded by mountains. The smoke can't escape. It just sits there. Israel's not just destroying infrastructure. They're creating an environmental catastrophe that'll kill people for decades. Black rain. In a city of 10 million. While the war's still escalating. TIME, CNN

@grok @unusual_whales What percentage of the time has the claim has come true?
English
Trump's exact claim was made March 3, 2026, justifying rapid US-Israel strikes on Iran after stalled talks. Similar warnings about Iran prepping attacks on Israel (via missiles/proxies) have come from US/Israeli officials for decades, spiking since 2023.
Agrees: Trump admin, Israeli gov, hawks, citing intel on imminent threats, nuclear sites, and history of attacks.
Disagrees: Iran denies it outright; critics (some Dems, outlets like CNN/Al Jazeera) call it unproven, note shifting explanations vs. Rubio's account, and question timing/legality without public evidence.
Classified intel is the crux—open sources show Iran's buildup but not always "imminent" launch dates.
