Fox News reports that Donald Trump may consider using nuclear weapons to eliminate Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility
The U.S. military has reservations regarding the success of using a bunker-buster bomb, a non nuclear weapon, to eliminate Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility, buried deep in a mountain. Two defense officials were reportedly briefed that only a tactical nuclear weapon could reach the facility.

“We want to stop nuclear proliferation by starting a nuclear war.” - these fucking geniuses, apparently
Hey, you can’t deny the world will have a lot fewer nuclear weapons in it afterwards!
WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones.
Same guy that kept ripping on Zelensky for “instigating” nuclear war
So we’ll have a war of aggression with Iran for? We don’t like them? Israel has committed more violations of national borders and laws. The KoSA and Egypt’s citizens were involved in 9-11 and they are “allies”.
If any other country did the things Israel has done, we’d be sanctioning them at a minimum. We invaded Iraq both times for less.
Hell we made up lies about Iraq
This time we are past the need for that. It will all be everchanging bullshit from here on out with the us.
Maybe they’ve got Saddam’s missing WMDs. . .
All that freshly baked yellow cake
Yeah but israel is our colonial outpost in the middle east, they can do whatever they want
9/11 killed a lot of Americans, ice kills Americans, do you see the pattern here, Jimmy?
Something tells me he has already given the order multiple times but the people around him have to carefully explain to him why that’s a very bad idea until he backs down.
Or they’re just running clips of Oppenheimer for him
“Art of the Deal”. Always start “negotiations” with a threat to go nuclear, then brag and posture and bully. Deal
You forgot the part where you Chicken out and go back on everything so you lose on both sides… No one ever sees it coming
Now it’s crystal clear how this absolute idiot bankrupt a casino
At this point I’m alright with a nuclear apocalypse, we had it coming. I just hope I’m close enough to a blast sight to not have to deal with the aftermath.
The fact that experts concluded that a tactical nuke would do the job doesn’t imply that they are considering using it. I don’t like the US administration, but this is wildly overblowing statements and pure fearmongering.
Then I hope the rest of the world does something about it.
They will write a strong-worded protest statement.

“Considers”. Fake news. They want the price of oil and gas to go up to please Putin.
Ya know, I can’t hate this take.
He is going to back pedal because Iran is his boss’s (Putin ) ally. He is once again talking shit he has no intention of backing up. I could see him ordering a nin-nuke strike on something that wouldn’t get him in trouble with his handler though as a fake tough man move.
He floats the craziest idea so that whatever happens he can say “at least I didn’t do that one thing” and his base will praise him for it–even though the thing he actually did was still moronic. This is the “permanent 300% tariff”, “Canada will be the 51st state”, or the “Golden Trump Gaza” video. It’s the only way this imbecile knows how to negotiate.
The Golden Trump Gaza, what a fucking joke. I could be totally wrong but I’m going to take a guess and say that the Gaza strip is one of the most bombed out places in the world. If true it’ll be littered with unexploded ordinance forever or at least practically forever. He wants to make a giant Mar’a Lago? Sure okay, I’m sure your guests would enjoy the risk of losing a limb or being killed cause a forgotten bomb goes off 10 years later.
It’s nothing compared to, say, what the US did to Laos, but yes there are thousands of tons of unexploded ordinance in there and will take at least a decade to clean up.

He’s gonna backpadel because he is a wimp, a paper tiger, he doesn’t dare to send people to war as he’s chickened out of Viet Nam.
TACO
What is a country? A miserable pile of war crimes.
Turning a habitable area full of innocent people into a pile of radioactive rubble and dying people why? Because fucking the Israeli government wants to genocide palestinians without resistance? Damn we fucking suck as a country
I’m sure Jesus Christ would definitely 100% want this.
Jesus was a Palestinian Jew, if Trump met Him today he would send Him to CECOT.
Talked about sharing and didn’t like rich folks. This admin ordnance a huge fan of brown socialists.
Nah, would be massively out of character for JC… his old man on the other side… well, HE got a nasty temper from time to time
What the actual hell.
The headline is a reading into it a bit. They said nothing is off the table, but they are confident that a conventional strike would accomplish the goal.
Not that a strike would happen anyway, but they rarely say that any option is completely off the table. A nuclear first strike should be one of those options off the table, but it’s the Trump administration we’re talking about.
MADness.
Hopefully someone drops him beforehand.
