US Attacks Iran 2026

Meanwhile, some people enjoy a luxury cruise through the straits

“a cruise ship is zooming through” isn’t typical luxury cruise ship marketing jargon.

One does have to wonder whether the Iranians negotiating with the US actually have control over the armed forces of the country and can effectuate the deals they are ostensibly making.

Somebody said yesterday that Iran has taken its effort to win the war over to X, where its weapons are propaganda and memes.

That said, they still appear to have some pesky gunboats afloat.

The greatest power (terrorists) have is knowing the majority in the world, including POTUS, are unwilling to stoop to their level of wanton destruction, even when more than capable. They count on it.

God’s time will tell.

Do you think the families of the 160 girls killed when the US bombed that school would agree with you? Didn’t Trump just threaten to destroy Iranian civilization? Doesn’t Pete Hegseth publicly pray to Jesus to help kill America’s enemies?

God’s time will tell.

I prefer not to blame the almighty for things that are directly the fault of humans.

I still remember people attributing hurricane Katrina to God as a judgment. If that was the case, why was Bourbon Street left high and dry…
I think the clearest understanding is the verse that says the rain falls on the just and the unjust.
It is clear that God will move nations to attack other nations, but then He will cause consequences for the nation He moves to do destruction.
My impression is that if God desires Iran to be removed from a position of power and the US is its tool, then God later might judge the nation for the evil committed doing the removal.
Likewise if Iran is tasked to bring down the US, God might later judge their nation for the evil committed.

Regardless of God’s role in history, I don’t believe it removes human agency and accountability. Regardless of God’s plans and intentions, we are responsible for what we do.

As has been pointed out here repeatedly, that was a school embedded in a military base as part of Iran's long-lasting technique of using human shields (particularly children) as part of military operations.

Blame should be placed where blame belongs. The Iranian regime (including their militas like Hamas and Hezbollah) decided to engage in a high degree of bellicosity to its neighbours and uses terrorism, attacking civilian targets, and use of children as human shields, and they should hold the blame for the consequences of doing that.

No objection but it seems like there are two levels of judgment. Personal and national, I think it’s Jeremiah I’m referring to.

I drive to work and I go through a base consistently and I see a sign that tells me now entering (unnamed base) and then there’s a school immediately after.
As pointed out to you before, if it’s bad for the Iranians, it’s bad for the US.
You know what the US did when American bases were threatened by Iran? They moved the troops into hotels. Legally that makes a civilian building a war target.
That school was built years ago and the base built a wall separating it years ago as well.
You have 3 real options
1: US intelligence is stale. They’d still know it was a school
2: US intelligence claimed strategic target there
3: US missiles hit the wrong target.

Why was the clinic not hit? My assumption is that America had intelligence claiming that was a strategic target.
But this is just silly to keep bringing up that school as though it was their fault it got blown up.

Why is a "girls' school" located in a military complex in a former military building?

Apparently the perimeter of the military base was revised over the years to exclude the building recently used as a school, and they neglected to properly notify the US Department of War of the change.

Buildings on the adjacent base were destroyed as well, as shown in the CBC article. The "dud Iranian missile" theory fails to account for those, unless there were multiple duds that took the same trajectory, which seems very unlikely.
