Israel attacks Iran. Trump warns Iran more might be coming. JD days ago went to Montana to secretly meet the Murdochs, and possibly others.

 Reports are online at multiple sources, where readers can find detail.

Of interest, this, from yesterday, where Crabgrass has no WSJ access beyond the paywall:

Israel could strike Iran within days, US and Israeli officials say - WSJ



So, WSJ had advanced notice? Making this more interesting. Possibly JD gave the Murdochs advanced notice, and possibly they traded investments, and possibly not. There should be some record.

And here on Friday the 13th, it happened, as the WSJ speculated, and tomorrow there's a U.S. Army anniversary, Flag Day. What a world.

UPDATE: AJ has its own reporting while much else online is carrying AP news services.

RT reports:

I gave Iran chance after chance – Trump

Despite the Israeli strikes, the US president has urged Tehran to comply with Washington’s demands over its nuclear program “before it is too late”

FURTHER; The last paragraph of an AP item Strib carried -

In a sign of the far-reaching implications of the emerging conflict, Israel’s main airport was closed and benchmark Brent crude spiked on news of the attack, rising nearly 8% before retreating slightly.

It would be worthwhile if somebody in MSM or elsewhere tried to ferret out any Administration or Congressional oil futures trading activity, including staffers and Trump family members, prior to the Israeli attack. Insiders are insiders because of inside information, and it is doubtful whether this happened without some knowledge among the spook and foreign policy community, including Congressional committees. What did Jake Sullivan know and when did he know it. He had a portfolio in the Biden administration, but he's an outsider now, but possibly still talks to people and has not, to Crabgrass knowledge, had his security clearance pulled. Tentacles abound.
