Nipate

In 2025 Trump mentioned having elimenated Iran's capability to dvelop nukes forever. What changed again that he is now again talking of Iranian nukes?

Trump is a psychopath, an inveterate liar, a malignant narcissist.  Zero moral compass.  Zero good faith.  He gets off when he can hurt somebody with impunity.  That should explain it.

After last summer's skirmishes, I think the US and Israel established that Iran's air defenses(previously believed to be impenetrable) were actually pretty useless.  The US has not been involved in major combat since Biden pulled out of Afghanistan.  The military industrial complex does not love that.  They were always going to round back to Iran. 

Trump is weak, and US military would not allow such. Nuke countries like Pakistan, Turkey, Russia, vowed in the past to use nuclear weapons on anyone that uses first. Iran simply will drain US assets slowly and usher in the decline of US hegemony the way British empire started. Iran is simply superior in terms of military sophistication, strategy, and technology. US/ISRAEL is spending billions a day fighting, while Iran is spending under a million. Also, CIA and Israel for the most part is targeting Saudi, Bahrain, UAE, Qatar, Oman in and effort to compel them to start directing resources to attacking IRAN, but these countries are now realizing and holding back. On the other hand retired military analysts in the US are saying US infrastructure in Middle East is almost getting wiped out by Iran's precision targets. Iran has decentralized Army in under water and mountains and they have missiles in over 3000 locations all over Iran and outside Iran, that is why they cannot be degraded easily. Every day Trump comes out and says "We have obliterated IRAN" but hours later there are attacks on US assets and Israel everywhere! I think Israel will likely use nukes soon, but Iran, according to credible US military analysts believe Iran has been building weaponry that can survive nukes.
Don't believe US propaganda, US military is extremely weak, but on paper 'It is the most lethal military in the world'

Seems likely in a few hours

I wouldn't be surprised if US is also pummeling them while blaming Iran. CIA and Mousad divide and conquer plays a long game!

I don't support the war.  But having started it, they are not going to stop until Tehran looks like a Gaza twin.  Or Iran agrees to be a vassal state.  Ugly reality of the world Trumpism has ushered in.

America is weak militarily, but good of pr/misnformation and posture. NY times is reporting that US bases in Middle East have been significantly degraded and that is why why hitting IRAN is not going as it should. Fighter jet runaways and communication devices have been highly compromised.

There is so much disinformation these days it difficult to know what to believe.  I know Meidas, among many others, come from a good place, but they tend to overhype information, and sometimes just make wishful statements.  Lets compare notes after 4 weeks.

US/Israel media and to a larger extend western media is much worse with misinformation, so everything you read and hear is almost 90% misinformation. I prefer NY times because it has independent writers that tend to document evidence a long the way. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/world/middleeast/iran-strikes-us-military-facilities.html

It's credible that those bases have been hit.  But it also appears most of them had been evacuated or had a reduced presence.  It's not nothing.  But to say it is a serious degradation of the capabilities deployed against Iran is an exaggeration.
