Trump and Rubio say the US will wage war on Iran until its nuclear program is destroyed and it commits to not pursuing a nuclear weapon, something it has never developed. This post shows the US is still searching for nuclear sites. So Americans are looking at an open-ended war.

Rewards for Justice is offering a reward of up to $20 million and possible relocation for information about Iran’s nuclear program, including its facilities, equipment, and associated personnel, such as those in the scientific community, or the movement of any of the above.

Stephen Miller pushed for Trump's lethal strikes on civilian boats, which many legal experts say are extrajudicial killings. Here's a gift link to our @nytimes investigation on how Miller and Rubio's actions led to the strikes and the attack on Venezuela: nytimes.com/2025/12/27/us/…

In a White House interview, Rubio confirmed a @nytimes report on Tuesday that the US is negotiating with Venezuela on an agreement that could lead to a US military presence there. Gift link to the story on the talks, which had not been made public: nytimes.com/2026/11/03/us/…
