NBC News has learned that Iran sent a message to President Trump at the G7 summit that if he ordered strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, then Iran could activate sleeper cells in the U.S. to launch terror attacks, according to two U.S. officials.

  1. They spend Billions on wars, while millions are hungry, sick, and searching for shelters….this leaders are nasty, and they lack decent human feelings… they tricker war and run go hide in their bunkers, and we the innocent face the bitter side…..world leaders your judgement is no more far, just right at the corner when all your super powers can defend you….rotten leaders….

  2. BiI Clinton bombed Afghanistan and Sudan. George Bush bombed lraq. Barack Obama bombed Libya, Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Joe Biden bombed lraq and Syria.
    But when Donald Trump bombs Iran, the whole world is panicking. What's up with that?

  3. So Trump withdrew from the Iranian nuclear deal in 2018 causing reimposition of sanctions crippling the Iranian economy, and wondering why they are resuming nuclear capacities? I too would like for iran to not have nuclear weapons, but why force their hand? Am i missing something

  4. No worries my fellow citizens, we’ve got the CIA, FBI, DHS, and… wait… between DOGE and Trump’s loyalty cuts are they still able to handle this?🫤🤷🏽‍♂️

  5. No worries my fellow citizens, we’ve got the CIA, FBI, DHS, and… wait… between DOGE and Trump’s loyalty cuts are they still able to handle this?🫤🤷🏽‍♂️

  6. Russia has been attacking Ukraine and everyone just watches. China has been stealing land and water territory and everyone just watches. U.S. attacks Iran and I imagine everyone will just watch. No large country is going to help a tiny country. Small countries are going to be absorbed by larger ones.

  7. Trump acting on his own & flipping his nose at Congress & the American people ….. Iran & the whole world knows it was Trump & his administration who attacked them

  8. Iran knew about this attack weeks before it took action 😂 this was exposed 3 days before the attack for a majority of y’all. They deadass don’t have a reason to lie and didn’t care about this attack because the Russians and Chinese helped them move stuff from those nuclear facilities

  9. Lol "tonight I can report that the Iranian nuclear facilities are totally obliterated". sounds like another lie I've heard before ………"I can report that ISIS is 100 percent destroyed". Lol

  10. That’s the thing which scares me about this. Iran can have their suicidal Jihadists unleash attacks anywhere, as they have regularly used proxies to do their dirty work.

  11. with nuclear weapons now. how is it ending it when there still countries that will help other nations like korean china russian etc. trump never considered about that

  12. 3:58 ya Rubio is right they don’t even need to be making nuclear material, CUZ IF THEY WERE DOING IT FOR NONE WEAPON PURPOSES, then THEY WOULDNT MIND IF WE TOOK A PEEK AROUND! But Iran OBVIOUSLY MADE CLEAR THEY NOT FIXING TO HAVE US COME INSPECT
