Its scenarios are staggering. An Israeli attack on the Iranian capital of Tehran using five 500-kiloton weapons would, the study estimates, kill seven million people—86% of the population—and leave close to 800,000 wounded. A strike with five 250-kiloton weapons would kill an estimated 5.6 million and injure 1.6 million, according to predictions made using an advanced software package designed to calculate mass casualties from a nuclear detonation.
Estimates of the civilian toll in other Iranian cities are even more horrendous. A nuclear assault on the city of Arak, the site of a heavy water plant central to Iran’s nuclear program, would potentially kill 93% of its 424,000 residents. Three 100-kiloton nuclear weapons hitting the Persian Gulf port of Bandar Abbas would slaughter an estimated 94% of its 468,000 citizens, leaving just 1% of the population uninjured. A multi-weapon strike on Kermanshah, a Kurdish city with a population of 752,000, would result in an almost unfathomable 99.9% casualty rate.
Trump's volatility and casual disregard for treaties and process is directly putting my friends and family at risk in Israel. I am terrified, to put it mildly.
And it is still equally treasonous to have discussed this with Israel before Congress as it was to have discussed this at Mar al Lago for insider trading purposes.
It's all on Trump. The damage he will create is un-imaginal.
How do you know what he saved us from? The details haven't emerged yet, but we should hear from Congress next week. And you're forgetting: this guy was an ISLAMIC TERRORIST (I know Obama didn't allow the term, sorry) who was plotting to kill even more Americans than the 600 lives he already was responsible for taking. Would you suggest we just sit by and do nothing, like the night of Benghazi?
This was no-win, given the leftists' determination to blame everything on Trump. If Soleimani continued his terrorist rampage and Trump did nothing, leftists would have blamed him for that. Admit it. There are a number of options in any situation, and leftists would fault Trump for ANY option he takes.

Because a) Israel is in the line of fire and b) Congress is so full of TDS sufferers, conducting a sham witch-hunt and with some seeming to favor an Islamic terrorist over him, that he couldn't trust them with the knowledge.
You just made an excuse to let Trump do business with foreign leaders AGAIN over fellow cohorts in congress... Heck lets just get rid of all laws and ethics and give Trump free reign. It amazes me the absolute careless disregard , ignorance and pure stupidity you Trump cultists have

"Cultists"? If one didn't know better, it almost sounds like leftists have more disdain for people who wouldn't vote for Hillary than they do for a murderous Islamic terrorist.
Iran announced "You attack us.....so we attack you" - and thus we will level Haifa and Tel Aviv to the ground. Why not just say "You attacked us.....so we attack you" and so we will level Madrid and Barcelona to the ground?
The Jews are scapegoats for everything, and Trump anticipated it. That's why he told Israel about this before he told Congress. They need to get in position to defend themselves from a terrorist attack.
Bunch of spineless cowards on this page. Worried about what Iran might do. Bottom line was this general was an evil bastard who is responsible for hundreds of American deaths and would kill hundreds more if he had lived. Good riddance!! If they hit us Trump will hit them 100x harder! Put your big boy pants on and stop your crying!
Israel is an ally of the US, congressional Democrats are not.
They got their notification within 48 hours as required, but they weren't put in a position to sabotage anything.
Exactly! He knows that they are on a no-holds barred assault to remove him from office, and he's expected to trust them not to sabotage anything? They've already demonstrated the depths to which they're willing to sink.
