@WarMonitor3: Because Khamenei has been leader of Iran for 45 years, and just like Putin, Maduro, and all other dictators
They have never face any consequences in their lives, so they don’t expect to face any ever and believe they are safe in their country, wherever they are

RT @GLNoronha: Congress has already authorized war with Iran.
The 2001 AUMF expressly authorizes force against any nation, organization, or person that planned the 9/11 attacks "or harbored such organizations or persons".
In 2015, the Islamic Republic of Iran decided to allow al-Qaida to establish a new operational headquarters inside Iran, on the condition that al-Qaida operatives abide by the regime’s rules. Iran's MOIS and IRGC provided safe havens and logistical support to Al Qaeda, including passports and ID cards.
Tehran allowed al-Qaida to fundraise, to freely communicate with al-Qaida members around the world, and to perform many other functions that were previously directed from Afghanistan or Pakistan.
These ties - and much more - were revealed in January 2021 by Secretary of State @MikePompeo in a speech career diplomats and I helped develop and declassify.

That support continued even after public exposure and even the Taliban took over Afghanistan. It was validated repeatedly by the Biden administration, as recently as February 2024, and by the United Nations. The State Department told @IranIntl_En that Iran continues to allow al-Qaeda to facilitate its terrorist activities, a key communication channel to transfer funds and fighters to South Asia, Syria, and elsewhere.

Al-Qaeda's continued presence in Iran, and the Islamic Republic's support for Al Qaeda, provide full legal basis under the 2001 AUMF for "all necessary and appropriate force...in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons."
Critics may complain that few current members of Congress voted for the 2001 AUMF. That is just as irrelevant as if I said the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or the Clean Water Act of 1972 were invalid for similar purposes. Laws do not become invalid with age.
Moreover, the 2001 AUMF has survived repeated and recent attempts at repeal. In June 2019, the House voted 138-285 to reject its repeal. In March 2023, the Senate voted 9-86 to reject Rand Paul's attempt to repeal it. Many other attempts have been killed at the Committee level.
Multiple efforts to tie the President's hand against military action with Iran with funding prohibitions have likewise been proposed and failed. Congress repeatedly rejected these amendments in 2019 and 2020. In June 2025, the Senate rejected an effort to restrict military action with Iran.
Congress has had 25 years to limit the scope of the 2001 AUMF. Instead, they have consciously decided to preserve the President's rights under the law to pursue international terrorists to the end of the earth. And today, the Islamic Republic of Iran is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism and the headquarters of Al-Qaeda.
So when members of Congress from @AOC to @SenTimKaine say that the current strikes of Congress are illegal, please point them to this post.

RT @IAPonomarenko: It’s time to start fining journalists who casually throw around the term “hypersonic missile.”

@RomanObens: Putin deserves it, but Trump is not going to do it. He never goes against Russia directly. Only Ukraine or Europe, but unfortunately it’s highly unlikely
