🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 BREAKING: It is official. CENTCOM has confirmed U.S. forces are striking Iran right now, on Trump's direct order, as payback for the Apache shootdown.
The strikes began at 5 p.m. ET, and the command is framing them as self defense and a "proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression."
Proportional means calibrated, a capped answer to the helicopter rather than a return to full scale war, consistent with the explosions just confirmed along Iran's Hormuz coastline at Sirik and reported on Qeshm and Bandar Abbas.
So Trump's "must respond" lasted about a day from post to impact.
The question that decides everything now is whether Tehran absorbs this round quietly or answers it, with a deal supposedly days from done sitting in the middle.

@CBSNews Here was Donald Trump’s day so far:
- Begged Iran and Israel to stop bombing each other
- Posted some "election fraud" BS
- Got booed at MSG and Bryant Park
- Stuffed his face with fries
- Took a nap
- Left before the game ended and Knicks lost
🚨DONALD TRUMP SLEPT THROUGH THE GAME
His trip to Madison Square Garden for the NBA Finals was a MASSIVE inconvenience to NYC. It’s worse than you think:
Consider the COSTS of:
⚫️ Secret Service deployment
⚫️ Presidential motorcade
⚫️ Air support and aviation assets
⚫️ Federal communications/security equipment
⚫️ NYPD overtime
⚫️ Traffic agents and street closures
⚫️ Barricades, fencing, checkpoints
⚫️ Emergency response staging
Transit disruptions around Penn Station
⚫️ Lost economic activity from road closures
⚫️Cancellation of the Knicks watch party
⚫️Additional arena security staffing
⚫️Sanitation and cleanup
All so a brain dead demented grandpa can go to sleep.
What a tremendous waste.

@IsraelJustOrg@Coinvo Tell that to Palestine and the survivors of #epstein. Don’t hide behind antisemitism when you are committing atrocities for the world to see in plain sight.
