Iran was nowhere close to a nuclear bomb, experts say
Although President Trump has claimed Iran was weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon, much more work was needed for the country to do so

as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them
Oh c’mon…
With regard to the current discourse about the historicity of Jesus, some people need to watch Monty Python’s “Life of Brian,” lol.

DEAR GOD IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN PLEASE MAKE HIM STOP TALKING
Has JD Vance been sidelined or is he trying to distance himself from this disastrous and unpopular war? Or both?
The idiocy never stops.

⚠️ Spain has permanently withdrawn its ambassador to Israel, signalling a ongoing cooling of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Outdated targeting data may have resulted in a mistaken missile strike, according to the ongoing military investigation, which undercuts President Trump’s assertion that Iran could be to blame.

Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la X.com I have talked to some Israeli officials and read a good deal of Israeli media. Here is how the war in Iran is perceived there so far: 1) On a tactical level, they believe it has gone very well and Israel has destroyed more of the Iranian military capability than expected. 2) They are disappointed that the regime has not been weakened as much as expected and that they remain in firm control. In particular the lack of a "rise up" among the population is a cause of concern.
3) They are finding Trump to be unreliable. While Israel favors a prolonged campaign to ensure total dismantlement of threats, Trump has signaled a desire to end the war "soon," creating a potential rift in war aims. 4) Hezbollah is stronger than expected. It has hit Israel with drones and missiles and killed soldiers. They have recovered better than expected. 5) The inability of Ben-Gurion airport to withstand closing and chaos has shown fragility in Israeli social cohesion. 6) They are disappointed in the lack of support from Gulf States who want an end to the war rather than the escalation Israel wants. 7) Israel accepts that the regime in Tehran will survive and just hopes that this weakens them in preparation for the next round.
8) There is a growing fear among Israeli strategists that they are winning the war but losing the region. While military targets are being obliterated, the civilian infrastructure damage is causing a backlash. 9) The war is proving very expensive. The need to divert NIS 28 billion ($9 billion) to the military has forced the government to freeze social projects, leading to the first significant antigovernment protests since the war began, specifically from the middle class bearing the tax burden. 10) They are aware that the war is very unpopular in the US and that Israel is being blamed. They are concerned about the ramifications for the alliance. While Netanyahu is painting this as a huge success, it really doesn't look like one to Israeli strategic planners. The public knows it as well.
Worthwhile analysis about the view of the Iran War from the Israeli perspective (it differs from what the US public usually hears):
