🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 SENATE TO TRUMP: YOU CAN’T STRIKE IRAN WITHOUT OUR APPROVAL

🇺🇸🇮🇷 U.S. ROLE IN ISRAEL–IRAN WAR: DEFENSIVE, NOT OFFENSIVE

Yes, Trump was briefed.

Yes, U.S. assets were moved: carriers, refueling jets, missile defense.

But no, there’s no verified evidence that Israel’s attack was coordinated to “open the door” for American military entry.

Trump: “Defensive posture only.”
Iran: Any U.S. entry = retaliation.
So far: No direct U.S. involvement. No attacks on U.S. forces.

The U.S. is backing Israel’s defense, not leading its offense.

Talks? Canceled.
Tempers? High.
World? Watching.

🇮🇷🇦🇲 BREAKING: IRANIANS EVACUATE AND FLOOD INTO ARMENIA

Hundreds of Iranians are crossing into Armenia at the Meghri checkpoint, heading toward Yerevan, the capital.

Taxi drivers are now charging $300 per person for the trip.

A ride that usually costs $25.

Some Iranians say the journey from Tehran to Yerevan has become nearly unaffordable, with fuel shortages adding pressure inside Iran.

It looks like a quiet exodus… and a sign of deeper strain inside the country.

The US President threatens us. With his absurd rhetoric, he demands that the Iranian people surrender to him.
They should make threats against those who are afraid of being threatened. The Iranian nation isn’t frightened by such threats.

JUST IN: Iran uses the Khorramshahr-4 missile against Israel for the first time.

Hajizadeh, before his assassination:

“When we launch one Khorramshahr missile, it hits 80 targets upon arrival. If we launch 100 missiles, we will have 8,000 missiles on enemy territory.”

Bernie Sanders
@BernieSanders
Netanyahu is not the President of the United States.

He should not be determining U.S. foreign and military policy.

If the people of Israel support his decision to start a war with Iran, that is their business and their war.

The United States must not be a part of it.

Iran followed the nuclear deal’s rules. The US, under Trump, pulled out in 2018, but Europe still expected Iran to stick to the deal, this is unfair—why should Iran comply when the US broke the agreement first?

No Iranian official has ever asked to grovel at the gates of the White House. The only thing more despicable than his lies is his cowardly threat to “take out” Iran’s Supreme Leader.

Iran does NOT negotiate under duress, shall NOT accept peace under duress, and certainly NOT with a has-been warmonger clinging to relevance.

Iran shall respond to any threat with a counter-threat, and to any action with reciprocal measures.

Iran likely fired Khorramshahr-4, also called Kheibar, medium-range ballistic missile to Israel tonight.

It appears only 1 missile was fired.

It can strike targets up to 2,000 km away and carry a 1,500 kg warhead.

The missile uses hypergolic liquid fuel, allowing fast launch prep (~12 minutes). It reaches Mach 16 outside the atmosphere and Mach 8 inside.

The U.S. has evacuated a group of embassy staff and family members from Israel aboard a military aircraft.

Others have exited by land through Jordan.

The departures follow Washington’s voluntary authorized departure order issued over the weekend as the war intensifies.

The U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv is now closed through the end of the week.

Ambassador Mike Huckabee says evacuation flights and even cruise ship departures are being arranged for Americans still in the country.

The State Department has activated a 24/7 task force to handle the crisis.

It’s not a full pullout. But the wheels are moving.

Quiet exits. Growing urgency.
