Israel attacks Iran: Israel has launched unprecedented strikes on Iran, targeting its nuclear program and military leaders in an attack that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said will last many days. Israel’s military said it used 200 fighter jets, and in retaliation, Iran launched over 100 drones toward Israeli territory.
• Trump warns Iran: President Donald Trump told CNN that the US “of course” supports Israel in its actions. Trump warned Iran earlier today to agree to a nuclear deal “before there is nothing left,” suggesting Israel’s next attacks on the country could be “even more brutal.”
• Military leaders killed: Gen. Hossein Salami, the commander-in-chief of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and one of the country’s most powerful figures, was killed in the attack. Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, Iran’s highest-ranking military officer, was also killed. Iran’s foreign minister warned that Israel will “deeply regret” its attack, urging the UN Security Council to hold an urgent meeting.
• Nuclear targets: Netanyahu said “Operation Rising Lion” struck Iran’s main enrichment facility in Natanz, nuclear scientists, and what he called “the heart of Iran’s ballistic missiles program.”
https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/israel-iran-strikes-news-06-12-25-hnk-intlAccording to Tucker Carlson:
>Iran may not have nukes, but it has a fearsome arsenal of ballistic missiles, many of which are aimed at US military installations in the Gulf, as well as at our allies and at critical energy infrastructure. The first week of a war with Iran could easily kill thousands of Americans. It could also collapse our economy, as surging oil prices trigger unmanageable inflation. Consider the effects of $30 gasoline.
>But the second week of the war could be even worse. Iran isn’t Iraq or Libya, or even North Korea. While it’s often described as a rogue state, Iran has powerful allies. It’s now part of a global bloc called BRICS, which represents the majority of the world’s landmass, population, economy and military power. Iran has extensive military ties with Russia. It sells the overwhelming majority of its oil exports to China. Iran isn’t alone. An attack on Iran could very easily become a world war. We’d lose.
Basically in the next week Iran will annihilate US and NATO bases in the gulf and kill thousands of troops while also destroying the US economy. By week two it will have summoned "the majority of the world’s landmass, population, economy and military power" to its side in the mighty BRICs alliance and will be in the process of annihilating the west in WW3…
….or it will still be shitting itself and doing nothing
>>2319035Oh what will you give me?
Say the sad bells of Rhymney
Is there hope for the future?
Say the brown bells of Merthyr
Who made the mine owner?
Say the black bells of Rhondda
And who killed the miner?
Say the grim bells of Blaina
>>2319048Jerry
They're bombing me Jerry
>>2319039Iran is waiting for US ships to get in range to launch missiles on paths they'll carefully explain to the ship commanders.
That way they can go "dang we tried :^)"
>>2319081then they're not Christians
they weren't Christians when they defended Israel striking churches and monestaries in Gaza, they're certainly not now.
>>2319076FACT
Christians should not support Israel
>>2319046Not having a non-Nuclear WMD program was a long term mistake on their part. And one the DPRK and Pakistan never made.
The ability to kill millions of Israelis in a non-nuclear retaliatory strike is nothing to be scoffed at, even if Israeli nukes could kill 1 billion Iranians. That is, if there existed 1 billion Iranians.
It's why they wanted Syria's chemical weapon arsenal dismantled. And why they don't dare attack Egypt no matter how much they violate the Camp David accords.
>>2319077She's probably correct in one way: jihadists, and anyone bent on revenge, might do something. Usually, when America behaves badly in such a blatant ways abroad, there is someone who loses their shit and goes out onto the streets to get revenge.
>>2319080Hate is a strong word. Iran lost all the support it had among Sunnis after it intervened in Syria. Other Shias don't like the Iranian government, Sunnis certainly don't like it. But, if people had to choose between Iran and the USA, they'd probably choose Iran. Hezbollah lost most of their popularity outside of a handful of Shias after the Syria fiasco, but after Oct 7th even al-Qaeda was openly praising them.
>>2319086When Christians say "so and so is not a Christian" they aren't making a descriptive sociological statement but taking a moral stand against that person i.e. excommunicating them.
>>2319096I would hope that there is a hint of political backlash.
But every time NATO does something atrocious most of the orgs, at best, publish self righteous but toothless denunciations. And then immediately "go into the defensive" about not taking sides except the workers. Then drop the issue the moment the media does. I guarantee that the topic of Zionism will go back to the background of politics in like a year after NATO considers it done,despite being one of the most polarizing issues among liberals.
>>2319112Oh no, they couldn't stay hecking wholesome while reeling from an unprovoked declaration of war from an imperial proxy that has already killed multiple civilians?
That's it, I can no longer critically support Iran. Violence is bad but NOTHING justifies posting an image on Twitter. They need to be wiped off the map now.
>>2319124nonsense
US propped up Islamic reactionary forces more than anyone to defeat Arab Nationalists, Baathists, and Socialists of the muslim world
>>2319142and then russia will have a USA friendly regime and then china etc.
total westoid victory
>>2319129Xi's latest religion campaigns were meant to purge the CPC of anyone who won't suck Xi's cock. Pure Land Buddhism is the most popular religion in Asia. Once the Americans are done wth Islam, Buddhism and Chinese socialism will be the next target, assuming they haven't nuked the planet by then. American exceptionalism is so strong, these people would probably implement their own Samson Option, rather than let their empire decline.
>>2319135This is a very conveniant belief that was mostly made up by Western-based left wing exiles from the Middle East. In the 70s and 80s, a good chunk of the Middle Eastern left became Islamist (and Islamists have their own right-left spectrum) and they resented their popularity. So they blamed the fall of the left wing dictators on la CIA because leftists tend to be paranoid and blame literally everything on the CIA.
>>2319134Baudillard pointed out a long time ago that people don't just consume material objects, they consume and produce ideas and images. A planet scorched of all beliefs other than neoliberal NATOism is also a prime motivator of NATO imperialism. Marx observed before that the European bourgeoisie desires to create a world in its own image. There are obvious material benefits for them although its not necessary. The desire to remake the world is rooted in a kind of death drive, a desire to kill and destroy. Why else to big capitalists oppose climate change? They know its real, but many of them, even ones who aren't connected to the fossil fuel industry, deny it. Capitalism reaches its final stages where the objective is to literaly destroy the planet.
>>2319133>These guys want to invade MexicoThat is an excellent idea that won't completely derail the US cold war and prevent thme from upholding US hegemony. And also there is like no chance that US politics will unravel around a BIG FUCKING WAR on US borders and potentially a draft.
Honestly, this sounds like a brilliant idea and they should totally do it.

1. Restraint is weakness
2. Ignore Orange Man

Explosions heard across Tehran
We heard the sound of an explosion in the west of Tehran, where our bureau is located.
We have received reports indicating that another explosion was heard in the southern parts of Tehran, along with the activation of the air defence system at a location near Parchin, a military complex belonging to the Ministry of Defence.
Shock and fear in Tehran after Israel bombs residential, military areas
Roya, a 62-year-old resident of Iran’s capital, was jolted awake just after 3am by the sound of explosions in her Marzdaran neighbourhood in western Tehran.
“It was absolutely terrifying. My heart was beating out of my chest,” she told Al Jazeera. “I saw smoke on the horizon and at first thought all the strikes were farther away, but when the images came out, I found that a home just a few streets from us was hit too.”
Across Tehran, residents were grappling with the shock of the first air strikes on heavily populated residential areas across the city since the eight-year Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/mossad-set-up-drone-base-in-iran-uavs-took-out-missile-launchers-overnight/Mossad set up drone base in Iran, UAVs took out missile launchers overnight
<Assault on Islamic Republic’s nuclear program was product of years-long collaboration between IDF and intelligence agency, involved smuggling weapons systems into Iran on vehicles
>Israel spent years preparing for the operation against Iran’s nuclear and missile programs that was launched early Friday morning, a security official told The Times of Israel, including building a drone base inside Iran and smuggling precision weapons systems and commandos into the country.
>The operation — dubbed “Rising Lion” — saw more than 200 Israeli Air Force aircraft participate in the opening strikes, as fighter jets dropped over 330 munitions on some 100 targets, the IDF said. Israel billed the strike as “preemptive” and “precise,” and said it had no choice but to damage the nuclear program of the Islamic Republic, which vows to destroy the Jewish state.
>The effort hinged on tight joint planning between the Israel Defense Forces and the Mossad intelligence agency.
>According to the official, Mossad agents set up a drone base on Iranian soil near Tehran. The drones were activated overnight, striking surface-to-surface missile launchers aimed at Israel.
>In addition, vehicles carrying weapons systems were smuggled into Iran.
>stems took out Iran’s air defenses and gave Israeli planes air supremacy and freedom of action over Iran.
>The third covert effort was Mossad commandos deploying precision missiles near anti-aircraft sites in central Iran.
>The operations relied on “groundbreaking thinking, bold planning and surgical operation of advanced technologies, special forces and agents operating in the heart of Iran while evading the eyes of local intelligence,” the official said.
>The Mossad later revealed rare footage showing its actions in Iran.
>The United States knew about the planned operation for at least a week, according to a different Israeli official. Israel and the US are “continuously involved,” the official said.
>The Americans are working to rebuild the regional coalition that confronted the previous Iranian attacks on Israel in April 2024 and October 2024. Even so, in the event of an Iranian missile barrage, Israel expects some missiles to get through, said the official.
>Iran on Friday morning launched more than 100 drones at Israel, prompting the Air Force to begin shooting them down before they reached Israel’s borders. At about 10:50 a.m. — around the time that the drones were expected to reach Israel — the military’s Home Front Command said civilians no longer needed to remain close to bomb shelters.
>The official also said that Aryeh Deri, leader of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, was informed that the strike was going to happen, and that it was not the time to dissolve the government, as seemed likely amid a coalition crisis over drafting ultra-Orthodox men to the military. Opposition leaders, however, were not updated ahead of time.‘A campaign that is nothing less than existential’
>The chief of the Military Intelligence Directorate, Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder told soldiers at a command center that Israel is entering “a campaign that is nothing less than existential, against an enemy that seeks to destroy us.”
>“You’ve heard this yourselves more than once: they are working to develop nuclear capabilities, rapidly advancing in that development, and building up conventional weaponry in very, very large quantities,” he told troops. “This is what we aim to degrade, to disrupt, and to remove that threat.”
>“The Intelligence Directorate has worked extremely hard, both to provide early warning about the nuclear progress and the quantities of missiles, and the directorate is ready for this mission,” he continued.
>Binder said the directorate is “at a very high level of alert,” adding that it is entering the campaign against Iran with a “very strong starting position.”
>Defense Minister Israel Katz, meanwhile, warned that Israel would “eliminate” its foes.
>“The precise targeting of senior commanders of the Revolutionary Guards, the Iranian military, and nuclear scientists — all of whom were involved in advancing the plan to destroy Israel — sends a strong and clear message: those who work toward Israel’s destruction will be eliminated,” he said in a statement.
>Katz further warned that Iran “will pay an increasingly heavy price the longer it continues its aggressive actions” against Israel.
>Katz later said that most of the leadership of the IRGC Air Force was eliminated in a strike today in Iran. The top brass of the IRGC Air Force had convened at an underground command center when the strike was carried out, according to a statement issued by Katz’s office.
>The Islamic Republic, which vows to destroy Israel, says its nuclear program is for civilian purposes. However, it enriches uranium up to 60 percent — a level that has no civilian purpose and is close to the 90% threshold needed for a nuclear warhead. Iran has obstructed international inspectors from checking its nuclear facilities. https://www.axios.com/2025/06/13/how-israel-executed-strike-iran-nuclearIsrael's strike on Iran was 8 months in the making
>Israel's stunning and sprawling operation overnight targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, missile sites, scientists and generals followed eight months of intensive clandestine preparations.
>Why it matters: The operation launched a new war in the Middle East that could draw in the U.S., demolished any hopes of a nuclear deal, and dealt arguably the biggest single blow to the Iranian regime since the 1979 revolution. And it is only just beginning.
>Driving the news: Israel is attempting to "eliminate" Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities in an operation expected to last at least several days, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced. Other Israeli officials said it could take weeks.
>Israel attempted — just in the opening hours — to assassinate nuclear scientists it claims had the know-how to make a nuclear bomb. Around 25 scientists were targeted and at least two are confirmed dead so far.Israel also targeted the entire top brass of Iran's military. The commander of the Revolutionary Guard and military chief of staff were both confirmed dead, along with another senior general.The Israeli operation didn't just include air strikes. Israel's Mossad intelligence service has operatives on the ground conducting covert sabotage operations on missile and air defense sites, officials said.Israel is expected to keep pounding Iran's underground nuclear facilities in the coming days, along with other targets.
>Behind the scenes: The idea for an operation simultaneously targeting Iran's missile and nuclear programs — which Netanyahu has described as existential threats to Israel — took hold after Iran struck Israel in October, during a cycle of tit-for-tat escalation between the countries.
>Motivated both by Iran's fast-growing missile arsenal and its weakened air defenses following Israel's retaliation, Netanyahu ordered the military and intelligence services to begin planning.The Israeli military said another factor was intelligence about nuclear weaponization research and development that indicated Iran could build a bomb more quickly if it elected to do so.The planned opening in the coming weeks of a new underground enrichment facility that would be immune to even massive U.S. bunker busters added to the urgency.
>Friction point: Even as President Trump pursued a nuclear deal, Israel was preparing for this strike — gathering intelligence, positioning assets and eventually conducting drills.
>Those preparations alarmed some in the White House, who worried Netanyahu might move even without a green light from Trump.Netanyahu assured Trump he wouldn't. The White House, for its part, told Netanyahu that if Israel attacked Iran, it would do so alone.Trump himself said several times in recent days, including several hours before the strikes, that he opposed an Israeli strike that could "blow up" the negotiations.
>The intrigue: But in the hours after the attack began, Israeli officials briefed reporters that this was all coordinated with Washington.
>Two Israeli officials claimed to Axios that Trump and his aides were only pretending to oppose an Israeli attack in public — and didn't express opposition in private. "We had a clear U.S. green light," one claimed.The goal, they say, was to convince Iran that no attack was imminent and make sure Iranians on Israel's target list wouldn't move to new locations.Netanyahu's aides even briefed Israeli reporters that Trump had tried to put the brakes on an Israeli strike in a call on Monday, when in reality the call dealt with coordination ahead of the attack, Israeli officials now say.
>State of play: The U.S. side has not confirmed any of that. In the hours before and after the strike, the Trump administration distanced itself from the Israeli operation in public statements and private messages to allies.
>Secretary of State Marco Rubio swiftly stated that Israel's attack was "unilateral" with no U.S. involvement.Hours later, Trump confirmed he knew the attack was coming but stressed the U.S. had no military involvement.The degree of U.S. intelligence, logistical and defensive support for Israel's operation remains to be seen.
>What to watch: Israel is now bracing for Iran to unleash hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones toward Israel, and perhaps also U.S. bases in the region.
>Iranian officials threatened on Friday that their response will be aimed at the U.S. too. >>2319369No

SPECIAL BULLETIN: Israel Launches Major Strikes on Iran
>The Israeli rogue state added another of its neighbors to the long list of regional nations it is currently bombing. From Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, international waters, and now Iran—Israel now bombs them all with impunity while crying out about its own ‘security’.
>The attacks are reportedly just the first stage of a long wave of aggression that will span days or weeks according to announcements from top officials:
<NETANYAHU: WE ARE AT A DECISIVE MOMENT IN ISRAEL'S HISTORY NETANYAHU: ATTACKING IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM, BALLISTIC MISSILES *NETANYAHU: STRIKES WILL LAST UNTIL THREAT REMOVED
>A statement from IDF Spokesperson BG Effie Defrin on the preemptive Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear targets
>Hebrew sources: Air force attacks on Iran are divided into three main missions:
<The nuclear project >Destruction of missile launch platforms <Elimination of senior regime officials
>Israeli news:
<Israeli Channel 14 citing an Israeli official: "We have a long and broad offensive plan for the days ahead - complex days lie ahead. The Iranians will respond, if the public is disciplined, there will be few casualties. We are at war."
>Reportedly, the White House stated earlier that the US would not be involved in any unilateral Israeli actions, and as soon as the strikes began Rubio made sure to distance the US in an official statement:
>Netanyahu again invoked the Iranian nuclear weapons red herring used so many times before, it has now turned into a parodic litany, recorded below:
>The most eye-opening part of the strikes was the claim by Israeli sources that the strikes incorporated deliberate political and ‘diplomatic’ deception, which appears to imply that Trump and co’s various statements of de-escalation were part of the trap set to lull Iran into a false sense of security before ruthlessly assassinating Iranian leadership in a cowardly sneak attack:
>Several top Iranian officials were now confirmed to have been killed, including General Salami of the IRGC, Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri, and top nuclear scientist Fereydoon Abbasi:
>Paid subscribers will note the last report had just covered Abbasi’s prophetic recent interview, wherein he described how taking out top Iranian scientists or nuclear sites will have no effect on Iran’s nuclear progress should Iran choose to ramp up toward ‘the bomb’.
>Likewise, I chose to do the last report on Israel because I sensed things were finally coming to a head: it was clear to see Netanyahu’s failures in Gaza had compelled him to act, as he saw his chances slipping away. It therefore does not surprise me that Israeli officials are now characterizing the beginning of this war as a critical juncture in the history of Israel. Netanyahu called it the ‘decisive moment in Israeli history’ while Defense Minister Israel Katz reportedly announced:
>Defense Minister Israel Katz to the IDF General Staff before the attack on Iran: This is a defining moment in the history of the State of Israel and the Jewish people.
>Israel duly is at a crossroads, which I have described before: the country is in a downward spiral and has only one remaining chance to seize history to secure its survival. Why? The reasons are almost too long to list in this one brief article alone, but they include demographics, as well as the decline of Zionism and rise of “noticing” in the West which means in a generation or two, support for Israel may dwindle to the point where it will be engulfed by regional enemies.
>The other major reason: nascent technologies have created parity between Israel and its foes, where groups like Hamas and Hezbollah can use cheap but highly technologically effective weapons to deal accurate, disabling damage to Israel’s most critical and sensitive infrastructure. The same goes for Iran: the country has come of age and mastered rocketry and newfangled drone warfare to the point where the numbers simply do not work in Israel’s favor in any future war.
>Israel once had the backing of the world’s most dominant ‘superpower’ alliance of Western nations, now the tides of history have simply shifted against Israel’s favor.
>Now there are reports Iran may “declare war” on Israel. I remain skeptical for the following reason: Iran has no true overriding capability to fully ‘submit’ Israel into a state of debellatio. Israel has the nukes, and presumably, Iran as of yet does not. No amount of conventional missiles could make Israel simply surrender, and as such a declaration of war has no real meaning. Neither do the two countries share a border so it’s not like Iranian troops can somehow flood Israel to capture its capital.
>Any overwhelming attack that could critically wound Israel may provoke an Israeli nuclear response—further proving Iran does not have the escalatory advantage or trump card. That is like Ukraine “declaring war” on Russia—what possible meaning would that have? Ukraine does not have the escalatory dominance to ever ‘submit’ Russia in any way, and the only objective of true ‘war’ is just that—total victory and the subjugation of the adversary. Thus, I see no logical way war can be declared, unless Iran did finally secretly hatch that bomb and is ready to use it. The only other possibility is for PR reasons to satisfy the demands of the angry populace, before declaring victory after some arbitrary objectives have been carried out via a series of strikes, and calling it a day.
>For the record, here was Supreme Leader Khamenei’s reported address:
<“At dawn today, the Zionist regime extended its vile and blood-stained hand to commit a crime in our beloved country, further exposing its wicked nature by targeting residential areas. The regime must now await severe punishment. The powerful hand of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic will not let them go unpunished, God willing. In the enemy’s attacks, a number of commanders and scientists were martyred. Their successors and colleagues will immediately carry on their duties, God willing. With this crime, the Zionist regime has prepared a bitter and painful fate for itself—and it will certainly receive it.”
>Because many will and have already asked, one last note: the first wave of Israeli attacks obviously had some observable and verifiable success, particularly with the decapitations of top leadership already confirmed by official Iranian agencies. Strikes on nuclear processing infrastructure will take longer to validate. This raises questions of Iran’s preparedness—how could top leaders be so unprepared whilst knowing that Israel was ready to stage major attacks any day now?
>That is certainly a valid criticism. But when it comes to Iran’s vaunted air defenses, which will doubtlessly face criticism, all I can say is that recent wars of the modern-technological age have shown no country on earth is capable of fully defending against modern weapons like ballistic missiles. How many of Iran’s or the Houthi’s missiles had Israel shot down in previous strikes? Nearly none, if I recall correctly. How often have the US Patriots famously failed to down anything, including over US bases where Iranian strikes gave hundreds of US troops “brain damage”, and how often do Ukrainian drones and missiles bypass Russian defenses? No one has an impervious defense, though judging by recent strikes on Moscow, the closest any country in the world has come to that distinction is Russia.
>And for the record, tonight we see reports of Israeli ALBM booster stages “spread out through various Iraqi provinces” which again appears to prove Israel launched its ordnance well clear of Iranian airspace, likely the Air LORA missiles as in the previous strikes:
>Though there were various ‘rumors’ of jets flying over Tehran but it appears in every case to have been Iranian jets scrambled at the time of strikes not only to avoid being hit on airfields but possibly for air defense missions as well.
>Lastly, many expected Iran to have already prepared an instantaneous response: the immediate launch of hundreds of missiles upon Israel’s very first salvo. The reality is that Iran has never functioned this way: it waits and assesses the situation before carefully curating a large-scale operation like the long-awaited True Promise 3.0. Why is that the case? One oft-cited and rationally sound explanation is the following:
>It’s not a good or bad thing necessarily—perhaps Iran’s method will prove its superiority in its longevity. We’ll have to wait and see if Iran mounts a response and how well-calculated or not it may be. We know Iran is risk-averse and did not want escalation, but at this point Israel has pushed it into a necessity to act or lose much deterrence credibility. The only question is whether Iran does another “show” strike to demonstrate its wrath, which does limited damage and seeks to signal de-escalation, or will Iran actually ‘go for the jugular’?
>Logic would dictate if they had chosen the latter option, they would have already prepared an instantaneous volley to hit Israel at its point of lowest readiness. Waiting days to respond telegraphs your actions and gives the enemy time to prepare, which logically implies a ‘show’ strike. But nothing is for certain in this game of war, so we’ll have to wait and see. >>2319075Jews are…
le stingy
>>2319381He won't do anything significant, if we're honest.
The best-case scenario is that he's a cuck, but it's not outside the realm of possibility that he's been compromised.
There's no excuse for the sluggishness with which Iran (and Russia, for that matter) responds to provocations. Contingency plans should be ready to action immediately. Not to mention that those responses always weak anyway.
‘Israel will not go unscathed,’ Khamenei says
Iran’s supreme leader says “Israel will not remain unscathed” and Tehran “will not go for half-measures” when it retaliates against Israel’s attacks.
In a televised address to the nation, he said Iran’s armed forces will leave Israel “helpless”.
Iran’s new military commanders need time to repond
Elijah Magnier, a military and political analyst, says that with several top-level military commanders now dead, it may take some time for Iran to respond to Israel’s attacks.
“These new commanders, they need their staff … They need to be familiarised with the capability, or what remains of the capability, following the several hundreds of Israeli bombardments,” he told Al Jazeera.
“They need time to familiarise with what they have under their command, what they can use for how long, and what Israel has destroyed. And that is extremely important to calibrate the response,” he added.
Magnier said that Israel’s not-so-effective attempt to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities were not its only aim – the army was also trying to destroy Iran’s missile production.
Attacks in Tabriz, for instance, were carried out at a location where both drones and missiles are produced.
“What the Israelis are doing is reducing the response of Iran,” he explained, adding that Israel has to think: “How many missiles they still have and for how long they can last because not even Benjamin Netanyahu knows how long this campaign is going to continue.”
>>2319447https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%27s_ballistic_missiles_program#Stock_of_ballistic_missilesIran's stockpile of ballistic missiles is ~3000 according to Wikipedia. For reference North Korea had way less than this(800-1,000) and was able to hold Seoul hostage for decades to prevent US invasion before developing their nukes. There's likely at least 100 missiles in the possession of the Houthis as well.
>>2319451It is quite literally impossible for all of Iran's ballistic missile stockpile to be stored in Tehran, a city in the far north of the country far away from virtually all of its enemies.
>>2319517It's all theater.
Empty fields, empty warehouses, etc.
Iran trying to soothe domestic unrest.
Watch: not a single high-ranking Israeli official will get popped over the next month. That's the litmus test.
>>2319539Nothingburger so far.
Bibi will be prancing around Tel Aviv in the open air by next week.
>>2319577That just looks like Kiev when Ukraine's AD misfires into something small.
wtf.
>>2319614That's not true it actually becomes easier to negotiate peace after you eliminate all the enemy's politicians that are standing in the way of peace. Civilians will not continue a war started by politicians once the people paying them are out of the picture.
>>2319608>>2319613>>2319620That's what I assumed yeah
>>2319627Israel directly targeted Iran's political and military leadership. They launched missiles directly at the Supreme Leader's residence. It's fair game to retaliate in kind imo.
>>2319636amber alert is a child kidnapping alert
It puts out the same sound on your phone for presidential announcements, natural disasters, nuclear alerts, etc. on your phone
>>2319637what happened to hypersonics and saturation attacks, tho?
this is weak af so far
>>2319648they were supposed to fire thousands and make tel aviv look like gaza…
it's still early, but the hit pictures people are posting itt don't look promising
>>2319677maybe the initial waves are to deplete AD?
nothing I've seen so far will reestablish deterrence. they need at least a few decap strikes for a chilling effect.
>>2319679I think America would be willing to engage in direct warfare with Iran even if just drone or aircraft for the sake of Israel
Israel is of much more strategic importance to the US and has more influence domestically than Ukraine
>>2319684Noooo
They should still do it
And then Iran can send them a present
>>2319687The Americans would've done a joint strike if that was the case. It seems kind of obvious Israel is trying to force Iran into negotiating with the US by playing the bad cop. If the US gets directly involved then that becomes a complete strategic failure that just breaks down into full on prolonged warfare and insurgency as it's now a war for survival for the Iranians.
Maybe I'm being overly optimistic but I don't think the US wants to invade Iran. Even if the Iranians initiate a decapitation strike against Israel's leadership Trump and the American far-right really don't want another 20 year military campaign that will hijack their domestic policy plans.
>>2319736Fireworks in empty plains, fucking shoot at the city centres ffs
Ayatollah you fucking Cuck
>>2319017only threat for them is shia
everything other than that aldready benefits them
capitalism shapes imperialism in a way that he specifically knows what benefits him and act accordingly to achieve his goals. He obfuscates the truth so that average joe can be easily mistaken by making naive inferences with his small brain and prove his point rightful. and by that he fogs reality
its not supposed to mean anything when you look at from a ideological view point but it absolutely serves the narrative they wanna portay for their geopolitic interests
>>2319652>Shows Israel just wanted to massacre gazans on purpose?I mean this has been obvious even to liberal Zionist types for a while now.
Israel expects an actual war against Iran rather than a one-sided massacre so being efficient this time makes sense.
