President Trump gave Iran one final warning.
Iran didn’t listen.
And now, President Trump gave one kill order that is bad news for Iran
After months of negotiations, President Trump announced the United States was going to war with Iran.
The President told the American people the U.S. military launched a joint operation with the Israelis, targeting the Iranian military and political leadership structure as well as its missile program, Navy, and nuclear facilities.
Trump justified the strikes by arguing that Iran was a state sponsor of terror and that Iran could never have a nuclear weapon.
“Iran is the world’s number one state sponsor of terror, and just recently killed tens of thousands of its own citizens on the street as they protested. It has always been the policy of the United States, in particular my administration, that this terrorist regime can never have a nuclear weapon,” Trump stated.
“It’s been mass terror, and we’re not going to put up with it any longer,” Trump added.
Trump went on to warn the American people that service members may get killed or injured in this mission.
“The Iranian regime seeks to kill. The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties. That often happens in war,” Trump continued.
But Trump went on to say that America had no other choice

Initial reports revealed extensive strikes inside Iran.
“Western source tells Fox: Attacks on the Iranian Parliament, National Supreme Council, Ministry of Intelligence, Iranian Atomic Agency,” Fox News Channel’s Jennifer Griffin reported
“Cyber attacks on news agencies, such as IRNA,” Griffin continued.
This is no one-and-done mission like Operation: Midnight Hammer, which destroyed Iran’s nuclear facilities last June.
President Trump ordered an extended war that could stretch for weeks.
