Report: Israel Will Strike Iranian Nuclear
Sites 'Within Days'

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 5/24/2025 12:47:48 PM

According to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Iran is now capable of spinning up enough of its highly enriched uranium (HEU) from its current level of 60% to the 90% necessary to build a nuclear bomb, in “probably less than one week.” The timeline for Israel to act against Iran's nuclear program has now compressed considerably. Coupled with the glacial pace of U.S. talks with Iran on its nuclear program, and the state of readiness of Israeli strike forces, some analysts have concluded that Israel is prepared to strike Iranian nuclear facilities in a matter of days. The impasse in nuclear talks with Iran is "irreconcilable," according to the Israelis.

Mark Levin has repeatedly opined that their nuclear capability must go. No way that they intend it for peaceful domestic purposes. And talk will not work with them when their talk is already "Kill America"...

FTA: Mossad chief David Barnea and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer flew to Rome alongside Witkoff’s talks, tuned to receive immediate briefings on any progress. Their presence accentuated Jerusalem’s determination to understand every diplomatic nuance while military options remained active. Israel paying attention to the negotiations but not ignoring reality.

Rapid progress from 60% to 90% is a stretch. The closer you get to fully enriched, the longer it takes.

If Iran wanted to they could probably buy nukes from the Norks and, maybe, Russia. But anything that drives libs to drink is fine with me.

Re: #3 - Point taken; however, none of us can be certain that the DIA-reported estimate of 60% enrichment isn't actually 80+%. Why does the author appear to lay it on Israel to act against Iran, when the our country will be at extreme risk once Iran obtains nuclear weapons capability? Regarding the US0Iran negotiations, the author states, "The talks are continuing with minor progress on ancillary points in the dispute. The fundamental differences are broad and deep. The question now is, why continue the negotiations?" If the reporting is accurate, it begs the question of why the administration apparently continues to play footsie with Iran on this most important actual security threat to Israel and the US.

Israel would be taking a great risk. That's why they want us to do it for them. Was it last year they had to recall their planes from a bombing attack when they were lit up by Iran's ground defenses?

Israel desperately wants war with Iran and wants to pull the US back into the middle east. America has split to much of its blood and wasted to much of its treasure over more than 20 years there and it accomplished basically nothing. The US not the worlds police force and can ill afford to be. If the talks fail pull all troops and equipment out of the middle east and let Israel and Iran duke it out.

I must admit..I think striking their weapons machinery is the only solution to a big problem....Iran is in for a final meeting telling President Trump...to late WE already have the weapons and delivery time set...so Israel has no choice but to strike...if they have to do it alone...so be it....I wish I could understand President Trump's hesitancy....it doesn't make sense...but WE've learned with President Trump....he knows what he's doing....

Kill the mullahs first. If their successors aren't acolytes of Khomeini, the next leadership of Iran will welcome in the ones who will end Iran's nuclear bomb program. We can hope. Israel can't.

Donald Trump said Sunday that he had a “very nice call” with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and he has agreed to delay his threatened 50 percent tariff until July 9 at her request. The EU wants to negotiate, Trump said: That agreement came after a call Sunday with Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, who had told Trump that she "wants to get down to serious negotiations," according to the U.S. president's retelling. "I told anybody that would listen, they have to do that," Trump told reporters on Sunday in Morristown, New Jersey, as he prepared to return to Washington.

A small, tight-knit group in former President Joe Biden’s inner circle was running the White House like a “politburo,” and they were the “ultimate decision-makers” as Biden’s health and cognitive function continued to decline, according to the authors of a bombshell new book. This group, dubbed the “politburo,” included a coterie of seasoned political veterans, including Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti and Bruce Reed — but also family members such as first lady Jill Biden and the president’s son Hunter, the authors of “Original Sin” claim. “In terms of who was running the White House, it’s a small group of people that have been around,

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that there were “more than 1.4 million illegal aliens on Medicaid.” Johnson said, “We are not cutting Medicaid in this package. There‘s a lot of misinformation out there about this.” He continued, “The numbers of Americans who are affected are those that are entwined in our work to eliminate fraud, waste and abuse. And what do I mean by that? You got more than 1.4 million illegal aliens on Medicaid. Medicaid is not intended for non-U.S. citizens. It‘s intended for the most vulnerable populations of Americans, which is pregnant women and young single mothers, the disabled, the elderly.

Make no mistake about it: The Democratic Party is facing an existential crisis that even their media allies can't spin anymore. The New York Times, the crown jewel of the liberal media establishment, just published a devastating analysis showing how the Democrats' supposed stronghold on American politics has crumbled under the MAGA movement. While Democrats continue their tired routine of Trump-bashing and pretending to care about working Americans, the numbers tell a completely different story. The Times' analysis reveals a political earthquake that's reshaping the electoral landscape, and it's not in the Democrats' favor. “All told, Mr. Trump has increased the Republican Party's share of the presidential vote in each election

President Eisenhower reportedly once said, "Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you’re a thousand miles from the cornfield." My Dad, who farmed much of his life, would have agreed with that. A lot of things look easier from a distance. Democrats, today, seem to be maintaining a great distance between their party platform and, well, reality. Recent polling shows that the Democratic Party has the same approval ratings as head lice. Their leadership is so old that when they cough, they cough up dust. And what passes for their young up-and-comers, on the political scale, makes Che Guevara look like a flaming right-winger.

When Biden’s reelection campaign needed video of him taking off-the-cuff questions from voters, they turned to a staged town hall in Delaware in April 2024 that they planned to use for a campaign commercial — an episode that went so poorly, people in the campaign determined the town hall yielded unusable material, according to Tapper and Thompson.

The United States has disclosed the movements of its submarines—armed with nuclear missiles—for the second time this month, demonstrating its deterrent capability. The Submarine Group Ten, which oversees operations of the Atlantic ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) fleet, told Newsweek that it could not discuss submarine schedules or deployments because of operational security concerns. The unit is assigned with six SSBNs. Why It Matters The U.S. Navy operates a fleet of 14 nuclear-powered Ohio-class SSBNs, each capable of carrying up to 20 ballistic missiles. Eight of these submarines are based at Bangor, Washington, while the remaining six are homeported at Kings Bay, Georgia. The SSBN fleet forms part of the U.S.'s "nuclear triad,"

The longer Michael Mann maintains his shameful litigation over a blog post that appeared in NR over a decade ago, the more he loses. A judge has now ordered Mann to pay $477,350.80 in legal fees to the Competitive Enterprise Institute and Rand Simberg. This comes on top of $530,820.21 that Mann has been ordered to pay National Review. It boggles the mind that, 13 years after launching a lawsuit he hoped would “ruin” NR, Mann now owes us and our friends more than $1 million, but we warned him not to go down this route in the first place.

Democrat propaganda has missed the mark once again.

Axios reported the results of its latest Engagious/Sago focus group poll and confessed that Wisconsin swing voters who in the last election went from Democrat to voting Republican are still largely happy with their decision. This must be hard for Axios to admit, since it is a radical leftist rag. Some of the swing voters are not fully behind Trump’s tariffs, Axios claimed, but admitted “that's mostly outweighed by their faith that Trump's moves will

Far from helping to end the war in Ukraine, all the indications suggest that US President Donald Trump's mediation efforts are not only prolonging the conflict, but increasing the likelihood that Russia will ultimately emerge victorious. Indeed, far from showing any interest in ending Russia's military offensive in Ukraine, the Russian leader has given every intention that he intends to continue fighting until victory has been achieved. Nor does there appear to be any serious prospect that Trump will be willing to hit the Kremlin with further sanctions, let alone military encouragement, if it fails to show any serious interest in peace negotiations.

Most of us are old enough to remember Ann Coulter. Back in the early days of this here century, Coulter briefly cut a gigantic figure within the American Right. Many found her good-looking (no rarity among con women, it’s true) with traditional WASP features and a mane of blonde hair, though others found her a trifle horse-faced. For a time, it seemed possible that she’d attain a status second only to El Rushbo himself. She appeared on the covers of national magazines, became a go-to source for quotes, and was profiled and tracked in the gossip columns. For a year or two, Coulter appeared unstoppable.

Left-wing media very much wants President Donald Trump to have dementia. At first, they began peddling this narrative to distract from former President Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline. Now, they are likely using it for a similar reason. The Insider published a so-called “investigation” into Trump’s supposed cognitive issues during his second term. It enlisted several mental health professionals to support their narrative. Dr. Bandy Lee, formerly of Yale University, claimed the president is showing clear signs of early dementia. These signs include reduced vocabulary, incoherence, impulsivity, and “paraphasias,”

While President Trump says it’s too soon to back a successor for his party’s 2028 presidential nod, the jockeying and tea-leaf reading has begun in the search for the next GOP leader. The president himself suggested Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are possible contenders. Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., suggested this past week that he was keeping the door open to a possible run after his father leaves the White House, acknowledging “that calling is there.” Some swing state governors have also made moves that stoked speculation of presidential ambitions this cycle.

There was a time, not so long ago, when climate scientist Michael Mann could bully critics into silence with the mere threat of a lawsuit. He was the face behind the infamous "hockey stick" graph, a man lauded by progressives, featured in Al Gore's documentary, and embraced by a media eager to label skeptics as dangerous deniers. But the courtroom, as it turns out, is no place for manufactured myths or moral grandstanding. A Washington, D.C. court just handed Mann a bruising legal defeat. After more than a decade of litigation, he has been ordered to pay over $1 million in attorney's fees to the very people he accused of defamation:

As people wait for more answers on what caused the power cut that disrupted tens of millions of lives across Spain and Portugal, several have questioned Spain's heavy reliance on renewable energy sources as it plans to phase out nuclear reactors. Spain's socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has rejected such criticism, asking for patience while the government investigates the causes of the historic blackout.

In a previous column, I detailed Michael Mann’s unraveling legal crusade, focusing on his courtroom defeat and the staggering financial penalty levied against him.

The Mann saga deserved focus, and Steyn’s fight deserves its own chapter. This is that chapter. Author, broadcaster, and unflinching cultural critic Mark Steyn did not merely weather a defamation trial. He survived it physically, financially, and morally when most would have buckled under the strain. What began as a battle over words became a battle over the soul of free speech.
