taste buds tend to adapt pretty quickly- imagine eating NY strip or Ribeye (like trump does) everyday. It doesn't matter how good it is, it becomes ordinary very quick.

That’s true. Fortunately, there are over 100 types of sushi (plus all the other awesome Asian dishes).

So are they building a nuke or not?

Not even close.

IISS - Israel’s attack and the limits of Iran’s missile strategy

https://www.iiss.org/online-analysis/online-analysis/2025/06/israels-attack-and-the-limits-of-irans-missile-strategy/

The scale of the remaining missile threat from Iran remains uncertain and depends on several variables that are currently unknown. Chief among them is the size of Iran’s ballistic missile stockpile. In 2022, United States’ Central Command estimates placed the arsenal at approximately 3,000 missiles, although this would include short-range ballistic missiles with insufficient range to reach Israel. More recent Israeli assessments suggest a figure closer to 2,000 operational missiles. This would allow Iran to conduct only a limited number of large-scale barrages aimed at overwhelming Israeli missile defences. Moreover, this estimate does not account for ongoing Israeli operations targeting launchers, storage facilities and missile bases, which are likely to reduce Iran’s available inventory further.

EDIT: Maybe 2000-3000 would be a fair estimate?

EDIT2: Maybe they have shipped those ballistic missiles to Russia as well?

Yeah I think that figure from Net is propaganda. TBH I don't trust anything from IISS either (their figures for Russia/Ukraine have been wrong)

Just saw it. Damn.

"Bombs Iran"

"Now is the time for peace"

Tehran promises to retaliate.

Now they will bomb American and/or NATO bases, or carry out an attack similar to 9/11.

According to the 2020 American Community Survey (ACS), approximately 484,680 U.S. residents reported Iranian ancestry—around 0.15% of the total U.S. population.

Trump's speech is gonna go something like this: "Iran’s gotta make a deal or there’ll be hell to pay" — or he’ll soften the blow by throwing out some BS like, "Iran has already agreed to certain terms, and we've been in contact with their leaders."
