The Iranian Regime just cant help themselves…poking the bear is going to prove very costly to them. Foolish mistake on Iran’s part.

Washington Election observer escorted out of the elections office because she refused to comply with the made up mask requirement.

Island County Elections decided they wanted to require masks in ONE ROOM of the office. The room where ballot processing is taking place. If she didn't put on a mask, she had to stay in the hallway where she can't see anything.

Election observers are allowed in WA, and there is no mask mandate in place. Not saying that would make it ok to require people to wear useless masks.

Requiring masks in one room and not the whole office makes 0 sense. Literal nonsense.... Unless you don't want observers to feel welcome.

Private Industry versus Government.

There is a large mumber of Hezbollah operatives in and around Chicago and has been for decades. This sounds like a small scale terrorist attack.

Political Prisoner Steve Bannon returns tomorrow.

Milley deserves to hang.

More on the Walz affair in China; Daily Mail reached out by the affair partner.

Per your request in yesterday's poll, time for a thread on the Israeli strike on Iran. You ready?
A Thread: ⬇️

Background information.
The Islamic Republic of Iran's Nuclear Weapons Program.
The best publicly available estimates out there for open source intelligence suggest that Iran is readying enough partly enriched Uranium to only need one more jump to achieve a stockpile of HEU (Uranium enriched to weapons grad, 90%). Iran is currently attempting to master the art of implosion detonations necessary to build higher yield fission devices based on HEU. They have a working, known tested design already- purchased from the AQ Kahn network in Pakistan. The head of the Pakistani nuclear weapons program sold iran and several other clients the design and engineering data of the design pakistan successfully test detonated.

"The monograph begins with an analysis of the current status of Iran’s nuclear program. It then lists specific nuclear weapons program advances that Iran might, unless deterred, undertake and complete in the coming weeks. Within the overall scope of its nuclear weapons program, Iran is evidently attempting to advance in two major categories. The first is enrichment activities other than enriching uranium to 90 percent U-235 (weapons-grade level). The second is nuclear weaponization activities (advancing toward construction of an explosive device capable of unleashing the destructive power of the weapons-grade uranium (WGU) inserted therein). The next section derives key principles for deterring Iran based on previous successful U.S. efforts to deter Iran. The monograph then recommends specific military and non-military steps that the administration should take."

A detailed list of Iran's nuclear weapons research and development sites can be sound here, as well as details of the activities conducted at each site:

More on Iran's near threshold capability- meaning Iran is days or weeks away from the 'breakout' stage of having all the resources needed to assemble its first bomb:

The next statement from that article is particularly relevant:
"Iran views its nuclear program as a deterrent against direct US strikes on or invasion of its territory, acting as an insurance policy of sorts against invasion following erroneous Western accusations over its nuclear program, ala Iraq in 2003. That’s to say, during an attempted invasion, Iran could quickly produce nuclear weapons."

Given today's statement to the Iranian Regime by the United States at the UN, it seems clear why the US used the B-2 Spirit with the Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs to neutralize a deep underground hardened shelter the Houthi's were keeping advanced Russian made missiles in; it was a clear signal to Iran that if they escalated a war in the middle east further, the United States may take an active part in ending not just the conflict, but Iran's nuclear weapons program.
