Iran\u2019s fact-fumbling propagandists are now claiming \u201cthe capability and the will\u201d for copycat retaliation ahead of potential U.S.-Israeli strikes.<\/p>\n

Following the Islamist regime\u2019s refusal to uphold its end of the memorandum of understanding, U.S. strikes have continued against strategic targets. As the latest reports suggest, a joint operation with Israel is planned with aims of \u201cgoing big\u201d at Iran\u2019s energy infrastructure; the state sponsors of terrorism contend they will do the same with \u201cextensive response plans.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0regime-affiliated Tasnim News Agency reported that a senior security official described potential strikes against Iran as \u201ca kind of madness,\u201d and that the Middle Eastern nation was prepared with \u201cextensive response plans\u201d while contending\u00a0that Iran\u2019s military possesses \u201cthe capability and the will\u201d to attack the U.S. and Israel throughout the region.<\/p>\n

From the American side, President Donald Trump addressed reports of upcoming strikes while speaking with the press during a cabinet meeting held at Camp David. At one point, in response to a question on a military proposal to \u201cgo big,\u201d the commander-in-chief expressed, \u201cWe\u2019re going big. We\u2019ve already gone big.\u201d<\/p>\n

At another point, he made clear, \u201cWe just wanna win. We don\u2019t wanna have them \u2014 it\u2019s very simple: they cannot have a nuclear weapon. Iran will not have a nuclear weapon and they can\u2019t have a nuclear weapon,\u201d as he also affirmed on Friday, \u201cWe\u2019ll be hitting them very hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reiterating the president\u2019s statement, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, \u201cAs President Trump said at his cabinet meeting today, the United States will win, and Iran will not have a nuclear weapon under his watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Likewise, chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell stated, \u201cThe Department of War is locked and loaded, ready to execute the President\u2019s directives at a moment\u2019s notice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding the suggestion that Iran currently has the capability to retaliate, U.S. Central Command has continued monitoring Iranian state media, leading to routine fact checks on claims like Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) control of the Strait of Hormuz and that the Islamist military shot down a number of U.S. aircraft, including three F-35 stealth fighters.<\/p>\n

Over the past few hours, Iranian state media have continued to report false claims by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) \u2013 three in particular.<\/p>\n

During the cabinet meeting, Trump spoke to the fact that the regime continued to prove uncooperative and untrustworthy, expressing, \u201cWell, they always want to talk, but they break their words so often. All they do is make me angry.\u201d<\/p>\n

.@POTUS<\/a> on Iran: \u201cThey always want to talk but they break their word so often\u2026 We have great people talking\u2026 but, they\u2019ll make a deal\u2014as an example, we\u2019ll talk about nuclear, and we\u2019ll be in there talking about nuclear for seven hours\u2026 and they\u2019ll go out, and they\u2019ll say,\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/ITlbqBvXio<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, seeming to prove that progress was possible in the Middle East, the president announced a \u201cHISTORIC agreement\u201d in Gaza as the Board of Peace reportedly convinced Hamas to disarm completely.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a major milestone in the implementation of the Trump 20-Point Plan,\u201d a statement read in part. \u201cThe agreement will be carried out in carefully structured phases. As disarmament is completed, Israeli forces will withdraw, and the International Stabilization Force will work with a new Palestinian police force to take responsibility for Gaza being safe for its residents and its neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n
