Tommy Vietor

Please subscribe on wherever you get podcasts or on YouTube because we're going to be covering this story really, really closely.

And we're not going to like mindlessly regurgitate fucking neocon talking points the way a lot of other news outlets are this morning.

It's just like it's very hard to watch.

Um, no one seems to remember the Iraq war or be learning the lessons.

So please subscribe to pod, save the world.

Then I also noticed that, that, that Reuters had a story that the CIA assessed before the strikes, that even if Iran's Supreme leader were killed in the operation, he would likely just be replaced by hardline figures in the IRGC.

So like, again, like the end goal is not clear.

And I noticed this morning, again, like Trump has been lying about Iran's nuclear program and ballistic missile programs.

Gideon Saar, Israel's foreign minister, said that this military action was urgently needed because, quote, delay would have allowed the Iranian regime to reach a level of immunity for its nuclear program, as well as to engage in the mass production of long range ballistic missiles.

But that's just it's false.

That is absolutely a lie.

Like no expert, no one I've seen has suggested that Iran was on the cusp of like revamping its nuclear program.
