Just reported on Fox.

US and Israeli forces are coordinating their air attacks. Five US guided missile destroyers are now operating in the area.

B2 bombers are involved.

Decision was made b/c Iran was continuing to do enrichment.

Israel is also going after more top Iranian officials.

Before tonight, Israel had effectively taken out Iranian air defenses, so there was little to no opposition to the US bombing runs.

No word yet on how effective the bombs were, especially at Fordow.

The full extent of the damage from the strikes won't be known until after daybreak. It is 3:10 am in Tel Aviv right now.

Reaction from Iran is yet unknown.

Apparently, Trump's rhetoric the past few days was designed to catch Iranian officials off guard. The US had concluded that Iran was not going to negotiate in good faith, although there is hope that this might change their minds.

The Iranian Supreme Leader is reportedly hiding in an underground bunker somewhere.

The US has no intention of remaining to nation build.

Iran is unlikely to surrender. Reports are the leaders will likely fight to the death.

A full payload of bunker busters was dropped at Fordow.

Whatever ensues Iran could not have nuclear bombs. It's better now that Iran has their legs pulled from under them with Israeli strikes in the beginning.

I voted for this, he came through. I wonder how China and Russia feel about this. Of course, they're not gonna like it but who cares.

Now, the only other target is the ayatollah. Get rid of him.

I'm continuing to add to the OP as more info is reported on Fox. I'm not going to bother with MSNBC or CNN.

The Israelis are reportedly working on that now.

What is Iran going to do now that they couldn't have done before? Nothing has changed.

Them getting nukes was all they had going for their tough guy talk. Now its all buried in the sand.

Pentagon reporters are saying no other country in the world could have carried off what the US did to Iran tonight. These are Network reports, not Pentagon.

Trump is now scheduled to address the nation live at 10 pm EDT.

Pentagon reporter said that with Iranian air defenses neutered, if this first B2 bombing run didn't finish the job, they will be ordered to return for more.

God bless our pilots. God bless America. God Bless Donald Trump, our President

Trump reportedly decided the only way to get the Iranians to negotiate in good faith was to bomb Fordow out of existence.

I'm not convinced it will help, but at any rate, that eliminates their threat.

Reports persist that the Iranians were weeks away from creating a nuke.

Trump is reportedly hopeful that this attack will convince the Iranians to stand down on their nuclear ambitions.

All American airmen are reportedly back in safe space now. Aircraft and personnel.

Fetterman just endorsed Trump's actions tonight, saying "This was the correct move."

It will be interesting to see how other Dems react. Not well, I bet.

No country in the world can project such power halfway around the world. I am proud of our American military.

I hate war and I hope Iran comes to their senses and accepts peace.

Senate leader Thune: "Iran has rejected all overtures to negotiate a path to peace... I stand with President Trump."

The media misdirection from the WH has actually been in motion for about a week now, per new reporting tonight.

The concern tonight from the American side is what comes next. Iran still has thousands of missiles that can reach US bases in the region. The US has already silently moved a number of personnel and closed some bases in anticipation of tonight's attacks.

Iran will commit a serious error by retaliating against American bases.

surprise!

^^ That in itself is a major feat.

Feedback from Congress: Thomas Massie said this was unconstitutional. He and Ro Khanna have introduced legislation to limit Trump's ability to make such decisions.

Geez, if we waited for Congress to make decisions like this, we would all be speaking Farsi.

P.S. What the hell is wrong with Kentucky Republicans?

Just thought I'd lighten things up a bit:

House Armed Services Committee Chair Mike Rogers just endorsed Trump's actions tonight: "The president made the correct decision."
