Trump Declares 'Major Combat Operations' While Asking Iranians to 'Take Over Your Government'
KEY POINTS
- ā¢On February 3, the US and Israel launched joint airstrikes on Iran, declaring them preemptive to eliminate threats to Israel.
- ā¢Trump announced 'major combat operations' aiming to destroy Iran's missile and naval capabilities, warning of potential American casualties.
- ā¢Despite massive US military buildup including aircraft carriers and B-2 bombers, key allies like the UK and Jordan declined base access for strikes.
On February Saturday morning, Trump kicked off 'major combat operations' against Iran in a Truth Social video that doubled as a war briefing and inspiration speech, promising to destroy Iranās missile program and navyābecause nothing screams subtle like bombing around mid-morning. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz called the airstrikes 'preemptive' with the ominous promise of imminent missile and drone attacks on Israel, basically the geopolitical equivalent of poking a bear while shouting 'Please hit us back!'. Bonus points: Trump lamented potential American casualties but framed it as a noble mission, like a PTA bake sale with explosions. Meanwhile, the US had already crowded the region with more aircraft carriers, stealth bombers, and warships than an Avengers casting call. Oh, and allies like the UK and Jordan politely said 'no thanks' to base usage, proving you canāt even get the cool kids on board.

Nothing says democracy like bombing a country into regime change then telling them to seize power themselves. Itās like breaking into your neighborās house and leaving them the keys.
The US-Iran dance continues: two years after obliterating nukes, the sequel features F-35s, stealth bombers, and a side plot of allies ghosting their party invites.
