CNN:
Trump administration bypasses Congress, sells 12,000 bombs to Israel
By Jennifer Hansler
"The Trump administration has declared an emergency and bypassed Congress to immediately sell 12,000 bombs to Israel amid ongoing military operations against Iran.
According to a notice from the US State Department, Israel requested to buy “twelve thousand (12,000) BLU-110A/B general purpose, 1,000-pound bomb bodies,” valued at more than $151 million.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio “has determined and provided detailed justification that an emergency exists that requires the immediate sale to the Government of Israel of the above defense articles and defense services is in the national security interests of the United States, thereby waiving the Congressional review requirements,” the notice said.
The emergency declaration and expedited sale come as Israel and the United States continue their war against Iran. President Donald Trump on Saturday previewed a heavy new assault, saying, “Today Iran will be hit very hard!”
“Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time,” he wrote on Truth Social Saturday morning."
From stock I assume.
Dumb bombs. No mention of the JDAM guidance kits that need to be added to make them precision. From memory, I could be wrong, Isreal do not make the JDAM GPS kit's, that's Boeing. I remember a congressional vote during the Biden era on if they should be sold to Isreal.
So Trump is totally blocking out congress. Trump appears to be selling off US stockpiles, and Isreal are about to use dumb unguided bombs. Against Beirut or Iran ? I suspect Beirut.
