Bibi lights up Iran. Holy sheet!

My advice to Ayattollah Ali Khamenei (Supreme Leader of Iran).

• Think Putin is rough, Bibi is capable of worse. His countrymen feel the same way and his political opponents in Israel are similarly blood thirsty.

• Their overreach in Gaza is nothing compared to what they may do to you.

• You have no longer have friends in the region. Putin's gone fishing (pulling his money and military influence out as he occupied elsewhere), your Sunni Arab neighbors (ergo all Arab states) want you eliminated, Turkey the other major military power in the region hates you and Syria is no longer run by your friends. There's no one to save you.

• Trump is the first president in decades who's going to look the other way. He won't support Netanyahu's invasion, but he won't lift a finger to throttle the attack back.

• Your economy is entirely dependent on oil sales. Kharg Island is your only point to ship oil from (small island off your coast). Israel can level the place (like Gaza) in less than 10 minutes and you won't ship oil for 18+ months. Your economy will be destroyed in a blink of the eye.

Still don't want to negotiate? Still want to fund terrorism in the area?

BTW: Iran is swimming in oil and natural gas. The idea that they need a nuclear program to eventually produce electricity is absurd.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a seven-minute video in which he confirmed a military operation against Iran called “Rising Lion” had begun and could last “as many days as it takes.”

“We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear enrichment program. We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear weaponization program. We targeted Iran's main enrichment facility in Natanz. We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working on the Iranian bomb. We also struck at the heart of Iran's ballistic missile program,” he said.

Trump Urges Tehran to Make a Deal After Israel Attacks Iran

Head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard was killed in strikes.

Israel launched more attacks against Iran after wide-ranging strikes on the country’s nuclear program and military leadership, killing the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and striking dozens of targets in an operation that pushes the region into a new conflict with uncertain consequences.

Two hundred jet fighters wrapped up the first wave of the attack, Israel said. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Israel “should expect severe punishment” for the strikes. Israel said it had started shooting down drones launched by Iran in retaliation.

The assault comes days before U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff was to meet his Iranian counterparts for a sixth round of nuclear talks. President Trump urged Iran’s leadership to make a deal “before there is nothing left.”

Here’s what to know:

• IRGC commander Hossein Salami and two other generals were killed, punching a deep hole in Tehran’s military leadership.

• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military operation would last “as many days as it takes.” Israel planned 14 days of operations, a senior Israeli official said.

• Long before Israel’s attacks, agents smuggled explosive drones and other guided weapons into Iran, an official said.

• Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz decided Monday that the attack would begin Friday local time, an official said.

• Oil prices climbed after the attack was launched and stock futures tied to all three major U.S. indexes fell.

Trump slams Iran for ignoring ‘chance after chance’ to make a nuclear deal, warns things ‘will only get worse!’

Published June 13, 2025

President Trump on Friday blamed Iran for forcing Israel to hit its nuclear program with deadly airstrikes, while urging Tehran to finally make a deal “before there is nothing left.”

“I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal,” Trump wrote on Truth Social early Friday.

“I told them, in the strongest of words, to ‘just do it,’ but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn’t get it done.

“I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come – And they know how to use it.

“Certain Iranian hardliner’s spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen,” he said.

“They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse!”

“There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end.”

“Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE,” he added.

In a follow up post, Trump argued that Iran should have secured a deal months ago.

“Two months ago I gave Iran a 60 day ultimatum to ‘make a deal.’ They should have done it! Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn’t get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!” he wrote.

Trump lashed out soon after Israel attacked Iran’s capital early Friday, killing at least three top military officers and raising the potential for an all-out war between the two bitter Middle East adversaries.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Operation “Rising Lion” had targeted several sites across Tehran to dismantle the country’s nuclear infrastructure, ballistic missile factories and military – in a mission to “roll back” Iran’s threat to Israel’s “very survival.”

Gen. Hossein Salami, the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, and Mohammad Bagheri, the chief of the country’s military, were killed in the barrage. Gholam Ali Rashid, the head of Iran’s emergency command, as well as six nuclear scientists were also killed.

In response, Iran fired more than 100 drones at Israel – as Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned of “severe punishment.”

Israel said the drones were being intercepted outside its airspace. It wasn’t immediately clear whether any got through.

The Trump administration, which had cautioned Israel against an attack during continued negotiations over Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, said it had not been involved and warned against any retaliation targeting US interests or personnel.
