Trump: We Shot Down All Eight Ballsitic Missiles Iran Shot at Our Base in Jordan, and Are Now Hitting Them Very Hard

The United States is, as we speak, striking Iranian Targets near the Strait of Hormuz. The strikes are large and powerful, and in retaliation for the Iranians' failed attempt at adding sea mines to the Strait, which currently has no mines (They have been completely removed or detonated!), and the Iranians shooting eight missiles, all successfully knocked down, at our Military Base in Jordan. If the failed Nation of Iran retaliates for this very justified attack, they will be hit again at a much harder and higher level, but it will not be the biggest attack of them all, that is waiting in the wings and, when it is over, there will be very little left of the Islamic Republic of Iran!
President DONALD J. TRUMP

Here is video of a failed ICBM launch in Khomein, Iran. I'm guessing we had nothing to do with bringing it down. Just more crap technology Iran bought from China or Russia.

Here's an alternate view of the failed launch or, possibly, a different failed launch. This one can be seen blowing up on the ground in Iran.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump announces the Islamic Republic of Iran will be hit back "AT A MUCH HARDER AND HIGHER LEVEL" if they retaliate for the current US strikes around Hormuz
ALL Iranian missiles launched at American assets were shot down 🇺🇸
47 then threatens to LEVEL the country:
"But it will not be the biggest attack of them all, that is waiting in the wings and, when it is over, there will be very little left of the Islamic Republic of Iran!"
"The United States is, as we speak, striking Iranian Targets near the Strait of Hormuz."
"The strikes are large and powerful, and in retaliation for the Iranians' failed attempt at adding sea mines to the Strait, which currently has no mines (They have been completely removed or detonated!), and the Iranians shooting eight missiles, all successfully knocked down, at our Military Base in Jordan."
"If the failed Nation of Iran retaliates for this very justified attack, they will be hit again at a much harder and higher level."

Trump is no longer calling for ceasefires and negotiations. He allows that negotiations are happening, but also says he doesn't take them seriously.

I guess he's in it to win it now. Though the new strategy is a long siege and strangulation.

Space Force is reportedly watching Iran's boats and missile launchers:

Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh
🚨 NOW: US SPACE FORCE WATCHED IRAN MOVE AROUND THE STRAIT. Now they've been STRUCK.
President Trump has been clear that Space Force is watching the mullahs' EVERY MOVEMENT before they can even begin to launch mines and disrupt the Strait of Hormuz
CENTCOM just confirmed strikes were carried out at noon. FAFO.
YINGST: "They've been watching using Space Force and also the U.S. Navy that is positioned there at that blockade line in the Gulf of Oman whenever any of the Iranian forces try to move air defense systems or radars."
"They are watching very closely and likely these are the targets that are being hit right now as we speak."
"These appear to be relatively widespread strikes, not just targeting that southern city of Bandar Abbas, but also initial reports of explosions on Qeshm Island and areas even further south of this area next to the Gulf of Oman."
"It's an indication that once again the United States is trying to send a message to the Iranian regime that threats against this international waterway will not be tolerated." @TreyYingst

I don't understand why Iran acts like this isn't always going to be the end result.
Time to bury the head of the snake.

Scott Bessent made an even more menacing threat. He says he knows the offshore (Virgin Islands) accounts where the mullahs have stored their stolen money, and he says the US might just seize it:

Well, this is in addition to all the frozen assets the administration already kept from the regime since like February.

Remember the brouhaha about the MOU? There was the $300 billion investment that Iran was going to get the second they signed (what happened to that, by the way? they get the money?), but there was also about $12 billion in frozen assets that they were supposed to get (instantly, remember).

But, then Iran kept bitching that they weren't getting the frozen funds through the MOU which they violated within hours by attacking neighbor states.

https://tinyurl.com/49xetn47
Posted by: AOSHQ Medical Advisory Panel, Sexual Health Division at September 01, 2026 03:00 PM (2Ez/1)

That article tries to downplay it, but it reveals there are almost zero studies done on what happens to fetal health for women pregnant and taking drugs like Ozempic. Nothing good, I imagine. But a woman losing weight is more fertile, and the drugs also make contraception less effiective. This has the potential to be really bad.
Posted by: LizLem at September 01, 2026 03:11 PM (Eng1Z)

I'm cautiously optimistic that it could be good for fetal health. It's stabilizing satiety signals and blood sugar, with enough knock-on health benefits to sometimes look like a wonder drug. The downsides generally have to do with things that wouldn't affect them, like digestive upset or loose skin.

Many people think that all of our tools are available from the beginning and Trump is just too dumb to do it or whatever.

Much of the time, you need to move sequentially, and I'm sure that is what is going on here. To smoke out where the money is, we needed to cut them off and continue to cut and then see where the money went. Money is fungible, so how do you know who's it is, especially when they are trying to hide ownership? You watch it move in response to your early moves.

This goes for targeting as well. This is going to shock people, but finding stuff is hard when people are trying to hide it.

He launched what they called a war of aggression and then imposed a unilateral cease-fire. Iran than restarted it, and now they are the de jure aggressors. War Powers Resolution is off the table.

Trump asked for negotiations, knew they would be in bad faith, let Iran "make a fool of him" and now we no longer have to offer terms.

I will say that he brings up making a deal because he's trying to split the factions, convicing the lying bastards to turn on its other. Treason has always been a powerful tool to win a siege.

185 Just more crap technology Iran bought from China or Russia.

There's a famous anecdote from the tea-sorting warehouses on the British docks:

"We sort through all the impots, and send the best tea leaves to London."

"What about the second-best tea?"

"We send that to the rest of Britain."

"Whart about the leftover tea?"

"We send that to Australia."

What about all the low-quality tea?"

"We send that to the rest of the colonies."

(Awkward silence.)

"And when we're done sorting we sweep up whatever has fallen on the dock, and send that to America."

I'm confident something similar happens with international gun-running. Whatever weapons and munition fail inspection in China and Russia, gets offloaded to Iran and other third-world totalitarian client states.

No, with firearms the goal is to make them safe and to a decent standard. You never want to make unreliable guns because they could come back to you.

Where you get into tiers is the age and condition. For example, when China first sent aid to the Vietnamese, it was all the junk they had on hand - captured Arisakas, ancient Commission rifles and that sort of thing. Same with Russia and the Spanish Civil War. They sold the Republic all the junk from WW I and the civil war.

246 🚨BREAKING: Scott Presler and his team at Early Vote Action just exposed something massive in Philadelphia.
They hand-transcribed thousands of names from the non-juror lists, people summoned for jury duty who were excused because they are not U.S. citizens.
When they cross-referenced those names against the actual Pennsylvania voter rolls, roughly one out of every four came back as active registered voters.
That’s not a small glitch.
We’re talking illegal alien voters on the rolls, including some who have committed serious crimes against women and children, murderers, and sex traffickers.
Scott turned the data over to the Department of Justice.
The DOJ is now threatening federal criminal prosecutions against Democrat state officials if they refuse to clean up the system.

It's non-binding. A starting point. I think the 51st state thing was just an epic troll to provoke Trudeau and it worked. Then they did a switcheroo and "elbows up."

Depending on how it goes, a statement that the US will respect the will of the Albertan people is what he will go with.
