BREAKING: ISRAEL Strikes IRAN Israel has launched Operation Rising Lion, a broad and targeted military campaign aimed at dismantling Iran’s nuclear threat and eliminating high-ranking IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) personnel. The operation includes missile strikes, air defense suppression, and assassinations of Iranian leaders and scientists allegedly involved in a clandestine nuclear weapons program.

Key claims from Israeli officials include:

Iran is allegedly 15 days to a few months away from developing a nuclear bomb.

Iran has enough enriched uranium for up to nine atomic weapons.

Israel struck with force due to this “imminent” threat.

Major developments and assertions:

Heavy damage reported in Tehran, including the collapse of an entire apartment building where IRGC officials were believed to be located.

Israel is reportedly targeting not just military infrastructure but also civilian areas used by military and scientific personnel.

There has been no confirmation or public evidence of the intelligence behind the urgency, leading to skepticism about the credibility of the claims.

US Response and Political Fallout:

The United States was not involved, reportedly warned Iran in advance not to target US forces.

The White House and Trump administration (including Trump himself) have distanced themselves, with Trump allegedly rejecting Israeli efforts to gain US participation.

Concerns are raised that Israel may be trying to provoke a strong Iranian retaliation to pull the US into the war.

Commentator’s Warnings:

The speaker strongly urges that the US must stay out of the conflict, regardless of any future Iranian retaliation.

Emphasizes that Israel must face the consequences alone if it acts unilaterally.

Warns against American politicians and pundits (e.g., Lindsey Graham, Mark Levin) who may try to push the US into war on Israel’s behalf.

Notes inconsistencies in Israeli leadership’s claims about the immediacy of the nuclear threat (some say 15 days, others say months or a year), suggesting possible fabrication or exaggeration.

Bottom Line:

This was a preemptive and aggressive Israeli military strike based on the belief Iran is close to nuclear weapon capability. While some support the move as necessary, others see it as a deliberate provocation that risks wider war — with strong arguments made that the US must not be drawn in.
