What's happening now
• Fresh blasts: Iran launched a new barrage at Israel on Sunday evening, with an explosion seen in the coastal city of Haifa. Israel said it began another series of strikes on military targets across Iran amid international pleas for diplomacy and de-escalation.
• Trump rejects assassination plan: Two US officials told CNN the US president rejected a plan by the Israelis to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his spokesperson have denied the reports of such a plan.
• Terrified civilians and rising death tolls: The hostilities have killed at least 224 people in Iran and 14 in Israel, according to local authorities in each country. As Tehran residents flee the capital, Iran’s Ministry of Health said at least 1,277 people had been hospitalized since Israel launched the wave of attacks on Friday.
• ‘Weeks’ to go: Israel’s operation against Iran is expected to take “weeks, not days” and is moving forward with implicit US approval, according to White House and Israeli officials. US President Trump said his country “had nothing to do with” the Israeli attacks but later acknowledged that US involvement in the conflict is a possibility.

>>2327687>NATO will fight iran to the last israeli just like they're fighting russia to the last ukrainian. maybe one day they'll fight china to the last taiwaneseNo they wont. The USA would just take over.
Israel cannot do such a war. It is a colony itself and a neocolonial enforcer for MENA. The Zionist state would just collapse under it's own contradictions by just trying to enter such a war. And even if you could fuel them with enough supremacist copium, that would still cripple Israel and negate it's utility for the USA.

>A group of Israelis celebrated an Iranian missile strike on a predominantly Palestinian town in northern Israel, which killed four Palestinian citizens of Israel and injured dozens more.
>In a video that has since gone viral on Israeli social media, the group can be heard cheering as a missile appears to fall on Tamra, a predominantly Christian and Muslim town some 25km from Haifa.
>"On the village, on the village," a man shouts as the missile slams into Tamra.Gruesome
<He and the others in the group, including several Israeli women, then sang the anti-Arab song "May your village burn", popularised by the Israeli pop singer Kobi Peretz. Others clapped and cheered as other missiles rained down.I kinda want to take all the footage of Israel getting rocked and set it to this.
>>2329319I 100% support this
Imagine using dead children to promote imperialist war instead of promoting class war. Takes a special kind of heartless booj stooge.
>>2329435Putin eats banana
What Netanfucker eat?
>>2329416>>2329391>>232940040% of holocaust survivors in Israel are homeless. Most don't have houses to be bombed in the first place.
Leftists will still mock their suffering as they're willfully blind to the class contradictions that exist in Israel.
Leftists are infinitely closer to zionists and liberals in viewing Israel as a monolith society than they'll ever be to Marxists. You can even say leftists are inherently zionist in this regard.
Do people in Iran support Israel’s plans for regime change?
Jamal Abdi, the president of the National Iranian American Council, says Israel’s attacks have ostracised any Iranians who were sympathetic to its plans for regime change in Iran.
“I think that this is an epic miscalculation by Netanyahu,” he told Al Jazeera from Washington, DC.
“The legitimacy of the Islamic Republic really has been at a low point. The women life, freedom protests in 2022 was really an explosion of calls by Iranians to get rid of the regime. And for decades, Netanyahu has pushed this line that the US should get involved in regime change, and the Israelis have also engaged in what I would call a psyops campaign aimed at creating more and more pressure on Iranians and blaming the Islamic Republic, as they do deserve the blame,” he said.
And for a long time, there were some people in the Iranian diaspora who supported Israeli attacks on Iran, who thought that Israel would only strike “Islamic Republic targets” and not Iranians, Abdi said.
But that view has now changed, he said.
“Netanyahu is now talking about turning Iran into Beirut. The Beirut strategy. Tehran is going to burn. It seems like they are now transitioning to a regime destabilization campaign. And I think for a lot of people, especially people who maybe thought the Israelis are their friends, are now realizing that what we saw in Gaza, what we saw in Lebanon, what we have seen across the region, is now coming for Iranians. And it is not liberation, it is death,” he added.
>>2329455>Be holocaust survivor>Be scapegoat of european fascism in the name of bringing settler colonialism onto the colonial powers<Decide to join a settler colonialism enterprise but done to ArabsOh my god, the trauma. I mean who could blame them yeah?
I mean, you gotta think of those poor west bank and Gaza envelope settlers as well. Most are just driven there by the economic impositions of the Israeli state.
>>2329428It will be a big waste of money, destroy America's strategic position and weaken the capitalist system even more. Will the American bourgeoisie really let themselves be hijacked by Zionists like this? There is no real benefit for them.
>>2329444human sacrifice armchair man
I'm probably one of the few people on this board who has friends in Israel. And let me tell you, contrary to the zionist smug posting online and neocons talking about how Iran is finished, the mood on the ground is not good.
With one of my friends hinting that if he could leave Israel (which is impossible with Ben Gurion shut down), he would.
>>2329364Wasn't this from yesterday? There is another vid going around showing the power plant getting it tonight, possibly the battery defending it too. there's also a partial black out after the hits)
Speaking of which, there's a video out there too of an Israeli AA missiles hitting its own (or another) battery, destroying either a launcher, radar, or both. So that's possible up to two (Arrow or Iron Dome) batteries are gone just tonight.
>>2329479>There is no real benefit for themWhat?
>Iran sells oil>primarily to ChinaThe fuck do you mean "no real benefit"? Do we need to do this all over again?
>>2329488yes, that one was yesterday's. this:
>>2329386, no.
this one with audio.
>>2329491speaking of which, Taylor Marjorie Greene made a statement that in the next hours/days, we will see who's the real MAGA/America First and who doesn't.
spicy split.
>>2329488Did you ask him what circle he's in?
Because Israeli Jews (according to Pew Research) do not really intermarry or have much close friends with other groups of Jews, nevermind other religions.
So, if he's a Hiloni lib, associating mostly with other Hilonim libs, there's some bias there.
>>2329417The Palestinians have no economic sovereignty, therefore any violence against Israel for controlling energy, water and the entry and exit of goods, taking away the basic bourgeois rights of the Palestinians, becomes a legitimate right to use violence against this imperialist relationship and to deny this is to be reactionary, in addition, Iran has the right to produce any nuclear energy to maintain its sovereignty and interact internationally in a more equal way, to deny this is to be an apologist for imperialist submission, which is why when the English and Irish workers could not unite, Marx tolerated the separatism of Ireland so that these people could in the future enter into a more egalitarian relationship in a future socialist federation than continue a chauvinistic exploitation and subjugation that feeds prejudices.
I will leave a few quotes for those individuals confused about the concept of capitalist imperialism and national liberation movements to expose the opportunists here.
First, let's look at Lenin's definition of capitalist imperialism:
<But very brief definitions, although convenient, for they sum up the main points, are nevertheless inadequate, since we have to deduce from them some especially important features of the phenomenon that has to be defined. And so, without forgetting the conditional and relative value of all definitions in general, which can never embrace all the concatenations of a phenomenon in its full development, we must give a definition of imperialism that will include the following five of its basic features:
<(1) the concentration of production and capital has developed to such a high stage that it has created monopolies which play a decisive role in economic life; (2) the merging of bank capital with industrial capital, and the creation, on the basis of this “finance capital,” of a financial oligarchy; (3) the export of capital as distinguished from the export of commodities acquires exceptional importance; (4) the formation of international monopolist capitalist associations which share the world among themselves and (5) the territorial division of the whole world among the biggest capitalist powers is completed. Imperialism is capitalism at that stage of development at which the dominance of monopolies and finance capital is established; in which the export of capital has acquired pronounced importance; in which the division of the world among the international trusts has begun, in which the division of all territories of the globe among the biggest capitalist powers has been completed.
<Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, 1916, VII. IMPERIALISM AS A SPECIAL STAGE OF CAPITALISMhttps://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/imp-hsc/ch07.htmI will give another quote as an example of self-determination of nations in Lenin's time, where we can see that Palestinians do not have economic sovereignty, energy, water, or the entry and exit of goods without Israel's approval, which has always led to immense unemployment among the population in Gaza, and therefore a violent reaction is logical due to Israel's subjugation, which at the same time rejects the simplest bourgeois rights of this population:
<In this respect, countries must be divided into three main types:
<First, the advanced capitalist countries of Western Europe and the United States of America. In these countries the bourgeois, progressive, national movements came to an end long ago. Every one of these “great” nations oppresses other nations in the colonies and within its own country. The tasks of the proletariat of these ruling nations are the same as those of the proletariat in England in the nineteenth century in relation to Ireland.[3]
<Secondly, Eastern Europe: Austria, the Balkans and particularly Russia. Here it was the twentieth century that particularly developed the bourgeois-democratic national movements and intensified the national struggle. The tasks of the proletariat in these countries—in regard to the consummation of their bourgeois-democratic reformation, as well as in regard to assisting the socialist revolution in other countries—cannot be achieved unless it champions the right of nations to self-determination. In this connection the most difficult but most important task is to merge the class struggle of the workers in the oppressing nations with the class struggle of the workers in the oppressed nations.
<Thirdly, the semi-colonial countries, like China, Persia, Turkey, and all the colonies, which have a combined population amounting to a billion. In these countries the bourgeois-democratic movements have either hardly begun, or are far from having been completed. Socialists must not only demand the unconditional and immediate liberation of the colonies without compensation—and this demand in its political expression signifies nothing more nor less than the recognition of the right to self-determination—but must render determined support to the more revolutionary elements in the bourgeois-democratic movements for national liberation in these countries and assist their rebellion—and if need be, their revolutionary war—against the imperialist powers that oppress them.
<V. I. Lenin, 1916, The Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self-Determination, Three Types of Countries in Relation to Self-Determination of Nationshttps://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/jan/x01.htmNow the text that talks about wars of national liberation for opportunists who want to finance the arms industry and the hegemony of financial capital, its puppets and agents that enrich several capitalists with US hegemony instead of cutting off this money abroad or that the war of national liberation is only about fighting feudalism and therefore cannot exist in current times with capitalist imperialism:
<In short: a war between imperialist Great Powers (i.e., powers that oppress a whole number of nations and enmesh them in dependence on finance capital, etc.), or in alliance with the Great Powers, is an imperialist war. Such is the war of 1914–16. And in this war “defence of the fatherland” is a deception, an attempt to justify the war.
<A war against imperialist, i.e., oppressing, powers by oppressed (for example, colonial) nations is a genuine national war. It is possible today too. “Defence of the fatherland” in a war waged by an oppressed nation against a foreign oppressor is not a deception. Socialists are not opposed to “defence of the fatherland” in such a war.
<V. I. Lenin, A Caricature of Marxism and Imperialist Economism, 1916, The Marxist Attitude Towards War and “Defence of the Fatherland”https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/carimarx/1.htm#v23pp64h-029Now the text for those who say that every war is inter-imperialist:
<Advanced European (and American) capitalism has entered a new era of imperialism. Does it follow from that that only imperialist wars are now possible? Any such contention would be absurd. It would reveal inability to distinguish a given concrete phenomenon from the sum total of variegated phenomena possible in a given era.
<V. I. Lenin, A Caricature of Marxism and Imperialist Economism, 1916, “Our Understanding of the New Era”https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/carimarx/2.htm#v23pp64h-036 >>2329489Might be to late at this point, but all America needed to do is tighten the leash on Israel, give their fake American reserve money back to Iran, let them have nuclear power and then make capitalist deals for buying oil.
Iran is a capitalist theocracy they would have turned on China given the chance. And this way the west doesn't waste trillions fighting another war against a potential anti-China ally.
>>2329493I know people on the Iranian side too. Not the first conflict either where this has happened.
>>2329478Yep that's the one. And Israel has a lot fewer launchers and radars than Ukraine does + they just gave away the last of their Patriot batteries.
>>2329496Also good luck on repairing that. Unlike Ukraine, there are no overland routes to allies, and Ben Gurion is shut down. So unless they have a ton of spare transformers, and turbines, once the power plants go down it will at minimum take days, up to a week to bring in supplies. And there's a global shortage already because of Ukraine.
And it takes how long for Iranian missiles to arrive? 20 minutes? That's not enough for a cargo plane to safely unload and take off, or for a cargo ship to unload and undock.
And Israel is small, so it's not like they can truly deliver shipments in a safe location. And if the US does enter the war on the Israeli side, there's no reason for the Iranians to not simply clap every US cargo plane or ship trying to deliver supplies or (military) aid.
Going to be especially challenging if port infrastructure is destroyed entirely. there's no easy way to repair a gantry crane, or build a new one quickly.
What the hell were they smoking thinking launching this war was a good idea?
>>2329512He always seemed very… apolitical? Definitely don't get the vibe from him (or my other friends there) they're frothing genocidal fanatics who want to see Palestinian children flayed alive.
It's very similar to my Russian friends. As if the existence of Zhirinovsky (at the time) or Medvedev implies all Russians think like that.
Most people (in Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Iran) just wanna grill and not deal with this bs when they're trying to get to work or raise their families.
>>2329397this is just going to make the Israeli's like 10x more genocidal
if October 7th made them go full sicko mode they're going to want to unleash sarin gas on Iranians and shit and launch nukes for all this
>>2329525It's a big gamble though. And they could have always taken everything after controlling Iran the same way they do Saudi Arabia. It would have been cheaper and more effective to have made a deal decades ago.
So why have American bourgeoisie let Zionists hijack them against their interest?
>>2329544No. Which is what has people startled. There's been suicide bombings, there's been Saddam launching SCUDs at 4 AM (which barely did any damage) and October 7 (which had little property damage outside of cars), but never significant damage to critical infrastructure. Even during the six day war. In fact, the civilian death toll from that war has already been surpassed.
>>2329543Will do
>>2329552The new MAD are the hypersonics and new generation anti-ship missiles. Everybody knows, that specially in this cold war where nobody is exporting revolution, that nobody will launch the nukes either. It's just posturing for the PR front.
But the credible threat of being able to sink an aircraft carrier may be even more existental to the USA and NATO than nukes that will never be used. Because they need to use the carriers.
>>2329555Try being genocided for 70 years, you too would be demoralized, leave the Palestinians in peace and let Hamas do the fighting. Iran hasn't had to suffer a genocide like that so their ranks are much more ready to fight; they have not been demoralized. In fact their restraint only tells me that they are quite not demoralized enough to do an all out desperate move. Now they may do something wild if the US tries to get involved.
Anyways how does it feel to be on the wrong side of history fellow Americans? We deserve the worst kind of pain for not fighting against this imperialist regime hard enough.
>>2329403When I see this style of post I think "Israeli student in the US".
Of course, it could just be an Israeli using a VPN. But it's only Israelis who are this murderous.
>>2329582Egypt may be raring to go, considering they were the
other exception when USAID got gutted.
>>2329551>>2329556I'm asking why they are Zionists. Capitalism doesn't care if buyer and seller is Jewish or Iranian. Only thing it cares about is line goes up and Zionism makes line go down.
>>2329564>>muh dealYeah, like the one Obama made.
>printing casus belli for the US is literally Zionist's job.As if Western countries need an actual event for casus belli. Gulf of Tonkin incident and Iraq War WMDs are perfect examples. Isreal not needed at all.
>>2329586We will lose, no empire is eternal. Climate change will make things worse and the nations preparing will be in the best of positions and the US is not one of those nations. We have a reckoning coming, our generation won't see, neither will the next or the one after that but possibly say in 100 or so years future generations will be burnt at the stake, they will look back on us and piss on us.
How's this for traditionalism, ancient societies who worshipped their ancestors had a respect for the future we utterly lack now. They wanted to cement their line for future generations who benefit from their exploits. Instead modern conservatives only want to destroy the future prospects for short term gain, it's unnatural. The natural order is for humans to leave their mark and make a better future for generations after, it's how ancestors gained so much respect and worship. Already fucking boomers are torn down to shit. They destroyed the gains that was made by the generation before and left none for the future.
>>2329637how can this be, Israel
lied? This is completely unfathomable!
>>2329637A bit like how they handled the hospital bombings in Gaza.
Just an isolated incident goy (until the next one)
>>2329629It would the sole example, if it didn't make them fight harder.
And I don't mean Nazi Germany, I meant Britain, the former #1 Imperialist on the planet.
>>2329629If the people I know in Israel are any indication: The mood is turning very sour. And getting worse every passing day.
This isn't Germany 1939-1940 where people at least got drunk on victory before hardship. They instigated it, and instead of having any tangible victories (including land) to rejoice over before suffering a growing number of defeats, they've got not and instead are already getting inconvenienced and spend their waking hours worrying their houses will be blown up. With no where to flee that is truly safe, as they're unwelcome in neighboring countries and airports have shut down.
It this ends up with water infrastructure being destroyed (including desalination plants) and blackouts lasting most of the day, in addition to fuel rationing, this is going to turn to anger and protest.
Think Argentina during the Falklands war. But worse.
>>2329630hezbollah also had thousands of missiles but israel cucked and destroyed them and/or the means to launch them
and yes i know iran is bigger but just saying… considering how mediocre and incompetent the iranian government tends to be
>>2329502>whyGet Khamenei to come outside so they can get him.
Plausible deniability.
Trump is afraid of Iranian assassins
>>2329500 (me)
in case anyone would like to read it.
>>2329666I hope Iran adopts Dahirya doctrine against the zionist filth

Gloves off and give them a taste of their own medicine
>>2329617>>2329613<ZOGZOG isn't any more real than the rest of the liberal political theater
>>2329662>We don't want to see Israel bombedAnd that's where you are wrong, kiddo. We want to see Israel "bombed to the stone age".
>>2329681Euroaches are busy with Ukraine and America unironically risks civil war if they intervene
The only support India will get is from saars and right wing brazilians
>>2329677Shit like this gotta be demoralizing. These aren't the bottle rockets Hamas has been firing for over a decade. In some cases the warheads are so powerful, they causes entire apartment blocs to crumble. Wrecking neighborhoods. And from what I remember, their most powerful missiles are equivalent to half or 2/3d of a FAB-3000.
The idea has always been that no matter what, the shelters would be safe. Now that's no longer the case.
>>2329698sure but this is a
new level of stupidity. the zionists have always been vicious dogs, but as recently as last year they were smarter about it. their first strikes on jolanis syria were the total elimination of the syrian air defense grid for example
>>2329696they are doing both
they attacked a radar producing facility in isfahan today
>>2329672 (me)
>>2329663aftermath photos are somewhere else, showing the capture persons, and the drones caged inside the truck.
this is pathetic for zionists, recurring in petty sleeper cells attacks.
>>2329749and why the fuck is he still on shitter
someone tell him to go to bed
>>2329763you have no idea what youre talking about
>muh idealismpseud spotted, dont use words you dont know
>>2329749a full spastic mental breakdown. blaming everything happening on Iran's inability on developing a nuclear weapon, as a the root cause of a weakened Lebanon, thwarted and razed Syria, that ultimately weakens Iran, too.
as if that were something transmisible to Iran's friends: you have a nuke, then all your friends are magically protected.
if that were the case, every friend of the USSR would have survived wars, invasions, sabotages, and overthrown.
also, who cares if that guy makes some wild angry statements.
>>2329785Americans don't want war, but the crazies in office sure as fuck do.
Let's see how well that turns out for them.
>>2329749One good prediction doesn't make you a prophet.
>>2329752This. Squirrel knew Trump was a slimy 80s businessman who was probably stringing Iran along but that's the extent of his knowledge.
>>2329760Demons are inherently evil but look and act like human. Frieren is not fooled by appearance and genocides them all.
Demons=Jews in pol imagination, so Frieren=Nazi
>>2329749says iran has to establish deterrence. so far they are 5/5 on predictions. said that iran needs to start assassinating israeli leaders hit oil refineries and strike Saudis/UAE/Jordan and US military bases now while they are not engaged before they become so or their inaction will be taken as weakness and israeli will spin civilian casualties to bring the us in.
read their other posts they lay it all out. iran is relying on strategic patience and legality and agreeing to play along with the us not being involved thinking they can get israel to back down despite the conclusive evidence they gave material and intelligence support without which the initial attack would be impossible
>>2329790well americas interest is avoiding being targeted by the iranians
>>2329793lol no bro squirrel is a fucking pseud. khamenei himself was decided upon behind closed doors in wartime
stupid enough to wholly miss that it is a disaster for the present world order or that israel has any chance of winning against iran
the one thing she got right is that the world is being dragged toward war
>>2329785I don't think you realize how much of a grudge America's foreign policy / military / deep state class has for Iran. They have long memories and it goes back to the embassy crisis during the Iranian Revolution, which was a humiliation they never got over (also we fucked up a rescue mission which made it even worse, because nothing deepens an American grudge like Americans fucking it up… we'll never forgive Iran for putting us in a position to fuck ourselves up even more).
That extended to Lebanon in the 1980s when Hezbollah (but they weren't called that then) blew up a Marine barracks with a truck bomb. The brass had the genius idea of housing the Marines in a high-rise hotel. They also kidnapped and tortured to death the CIA station chief in Beirut. The CIA likes to pretend to be dark and evil but they don't usually get tortured and executed.
Then there were the U.S. troops killed in Iraq by Iranian-made explosively-formed penetrators supplied to insurgents. None of this deep-seated hatred for Iran has gone away among the people I'm talking about.
>>2329729Anarchist daughter
>>2329721Only Jordanians are shooting down Iranian missiles.
>>2329793They just escalated by hitting a power plant. That took the Russians 8 months or so?
I think it's less patience, and more hoping that the other side will realize where this is headed, and that they'll choose to deescalate or push for a ceasefire.
If they destroy everything now, not only will they be hit in response, but it will definitely get the US directly involved.
>>2329785Americans cannot manage another gulf war or invasion of Afghanistan type conflict. Their shit would get wrecked by the pack of liberal hyenas (multipolarists) on the prowl to feast on the retreating margins of US hegemony. They need more completely suicidal proxies like Ukraine to take on big fights like that. Terrorism wont do. Regime change wont do.
And Israel is neither expendable nor actually capable of enduring that level of sacrifice. Losing Israel means losing the undying loyalty of the MENA compradors and losing the petrodollar. the USA is cooked if Israel not even collapses, but becomes weakened or restrained enough to not be able to police MENA.
>>2329807just because israel is unhinged and stupid doesnt mean america is as retarded as them
the us stands to lose everything and gain nothing by getting directly involved. lose everything in that the empire has invested heavily in the middle east as its personal playground for fifty years and that goes up in smoke, gain nothing in that theres no realistic chance of meaningful victory
theres this very common doomer perspective among leftards that american might is omnipotent, and another strand that exaggerates military incompetence, but really its the middle, the empire is mostly competent but has a number of fatal flaws and this war exacerbates all of them
for example iranian standing forces are nearly a million troops total and could be quadrupled in months if they feel the need, american standing forces are a bit higher but not by much, tied down elsewhere, and not meaningfully replaceable
>>2329813>theyre pretty based overall and not just about the current conflictgood thing im not a memecommunist
>>2329810>They just escalated by hitting a power plant. They are walking a very very fine line.
>If they destroy everything now, not only will they be hit in response, but it will definitely get the US directly involved.If the US is going to get involved they will do it regardless and manufacture a reason. It doesn't even have to make sense let alone be true.
Thats the gamble, if there is going to be a decision it has already been made then they are wasting time letting the americans get into positions.
>>2329814>And Israel is neither expendable nor actually capable of enduring that level of sacrifice. Losing Israel means losing the undying loyalty of the MENA compradors and losing the petrodollar. the USA is cooked if Israel not even collapses, but becomes weakened or restrained enough to not be able to police MENA.lol yup
the iranian perspective is far more realistic, and likely how things will turn out. the IRI strengthened and emboldened, arab collaborator states and israel collapsed, american interests in MENA annihilated, and europe willing to discuss trade relations

How protected are Israelis from air attacks?
We have more from Gideon Levy, the Israeli journalist at the Haaretz newspaper.
He told Al Jazeera that most Israelis are “very well protected” from air attacks.
“First of all, the alarm system is extremely well-functioning. This time, we get alarms much before the siren. We can prepare ourselves. In most parts of Tel Aviv, for example, there are many shelters. All the new buildings have their own shelters and safe homes. So, from this point of view, you have the feeling that the population is protected.”
However, this is not true for other populations in Israel, such as the Bedouins or the Palestinian citizens of Israel, Levy said.
In the predominantly Palestinian town of Tamra in northern Israel, which has a population of 35,000 people and where an Iranian missile killed at least four people on Sunday, there are no bomb shelters, he said.
But the next Jewish village of 1,000 inhabitants has several, he said.
“I think that the more nights like this will take place, Israelis will start to not only be tired and frightened, but then we finally start to ask, is it worth it? And where are we heading to? From war to war? From bombarding to bombarding? Because this time, unlike in Gaza, unlike in Lebanon, the price of the civilian population might be much heavier than ever. So Israel can take it for few days. It cannot take it for a long period of time.”
>>2329874>F35sthey cant even fly lol

US envoy reports damage to embassy branch in Tel Aviv
Mike Huckabee says there’s been “some minor damage” to the US embassy building in Tel Aviv after “concussions of Iranian missile” hit near the structure.
There were no injuries to US personnel and the country’s embassies and consulates in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv will remain closed today, he added.
Pezeshkian says Iran has no intention of developing nuclear weapons
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has been speaking in the Parliament about the ongoing Israeli attacks, according to the official IRNA news agency.
“The enemy cannot remove us and the nation from the scene by beating, killing and assassinating. Because for every hero whose flag falls, there are hundreds of other heroes who will take up the flag and stand against the cruelty, injustice, crime and betrayal that these cowards are committing,” he said.
The Iranian leader said Iranians are “not aggressors”, and noted that his government has been negotiating with the US on its nuclear programme.
“We are not seeking nuclear weapons,” he continued, adding that the West is saying Iran should not obtain such weapons, “while we have no intention of obtaining these weapons at all”.
Pezeshkian promised, however, that the country would continue to enrich uranium for energy purposes, saying that Iran has the “right to benefit from nuclear energy”.
Iran vows more ‘devastating’ attacks on ‘vital targets’ in Israel
Iran has promised to carry out more “devastating” operations against Israeli targets following a new round of deadly attacks on the country.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), in a statement carried by the official IRNA news agency, warned that “effective, targeted and more devastating operations against the vital targets” in Israel “will continue until its complete destruction”.
At least four people have been killed and dozens more wounded following the latest wave of Iranian attacks on Israel.

Israelis beginning to ask, ‘How long is this going to last?’
The search continues in the rubble, in Tel Aviv in particular, for more casualties. So the death toll could possibly rise. Five people have been confirmed dead in these overnight attacks by Iran.
One building has collapsed in the Tel Aviv area. The American embassy also sustained light damage from shrapnel. Damage was not just done to residential areas. The power grid in Haifa was also hit and the crews are still repairing it.
The Iranian attacks were successive. It wasn’t just one barrage of missiles, so Israeli residents in the centre and north went in and out of shelters throughout the night.
Everybody remains on high alert. You can’t really abandon your phone, for example, as you have to follow alert instructions and listen for sirens. Most Israelis get 10-15 minutes of advanced warning.
They’re being told they have to brace themselves for days, possibly more, of a life like this: no school, no businesses, no planes in and out. So this is a lot of stress on the society and the economy – and this is why we’re hearing Israelis beginning to say ‘Well, how long is this going to last?'”
How Israel’s Mossad Smuggled Drone Parts to Attack Iran From Within
By the time Israel’s advanced F-35 jet fighters swooped in to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities and military leadership, a lower-tech threat had already crossed the border and was in position to clear the way.
Israel had spent months smuggling in parts for hundreds of quadcopter drones rigged with explosives—in suitcases, trucks and shipping containers—as well as munitions that could be fired from unmanned platforms, people familiar with the operation said.
Small teams armed with the equipment set up near Iran’s air-defense emplacements and missile launch sites, the people said. When Israel’s attack began, some of the teams took out air defenses, while others hit missile launchers as they rolled out of their shelters and set up to fire, one of the people said.
The operation helps explain the limited nature of Iran’s response thus far to Israel’s attacks. It also offers further evidence of how off-the-shelf technology is changing the battlefield and creating dangerous new security challenges for governments.
The operation by Israel’s spy agency, Mossad, was aimed at taking out threats to Israeli warplanes and knocking out missiles before they could be fired at cities. The teams on the ground hit dozens of missiles before they could be launched in the early hours of the attack, one of the people said. Israel’s air force also focused heavily on air defense and missiles in the first days of the campaign.
Iran ultimately fired around 200 missiles at Israel in four salvos Friday and overnight into Saturday, leaving three dead and property damaged around Tel Aviv. Israel had expected a much more severe response, said Sima Shine, a former senior intelligence officer in the Mossad and now head of the Iran program at the Institute for National Security Studies, a think tank in Tel Aviv.
The attacks on Iranian air defenses were more decisive, helping Israel quickly establish dominance in the air, she said. Israel’s air force has also aggressively targeted those defenses.
Israeli military spokesperson Effie Defrin said Saturday that Israel overnight had attacked targets in Tehran with 70 fighter planes that spent more than two hours in the Iranian capital’s airspace.
“This is the deepest distance that we have operated so far in Iran,” Defrin said. “We created aerial freedom of action.”
An advisory from Iran’s intelligence services circulating Saturday in some of the country’s newspapers, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-linked publication Tasnim, told people to be on watch for Israeli use of pickups and cargo trucks to launch drones.
Israel has deeply integrated ambitious intelligence operations into its warfighting. It kicked off a two-month campaign against the Lebanese militia Hezbollah last fall with an operation that caused thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies carried by its ranks to suddenly explode.
The country has also shown that its agents have deeply infiltrated Iran. Last summer, Israel killed Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh by sneaking a bomb into his heavily guarded room at a Revolutionary Guard guesthouse and detonating it when Haniyeh attended the inauguration of Iran’s new president.
In the current campaign, the Mossad’s operations inside Iran have included hunting for leadership targets in Tehran, one of the people familiar with the operations said.
Drones have been a regular feature of Israel’s operations in Iran. In 2022, it used explosive-laden quadcopters to strike an Iranian drone-production site in the western city of Kermanshah. A year later, it used drones to target an ammunition factory in Isfahan.
The spy agency began preparing for the current drone operation years ago, the people said. It knew where Iran kept missiles to be ready for launch but needed to be in a position to attack them given the country’s size and distance from Israel.
Mossad brought the quadcopters in through commercial channels using often unwitting business partners. Agents on the ground would collect the munitions and distribute them to the teams. Israel trained the team leaders in third countries, and they in turn trained the teams.
The teams watched as Iran rolled out missiles, then hit them before they could be erected for launch, the person said. Mossad knew the trucks that move the missiles from storage to the launch site were a bottleneck for Iran, which had four times as many missiles as trucks.
The teams took out dozens of trucks, one of the people said. They were still operating on the ground deep into Friday.
The operations—and making them public—have an important ancillary effect, said Shine, the former head of the Mossad’s Iran desk.
“No one in Iran in the high echelons can be sure he isn’t known to Israeli intelligence and won’t be the target,” she said. “It’s not just the damage caused but the nervousness it brings.”
RGC commander, soldier killed in Israeli attack
The Ansar al-Mahdi Corp, a unit of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) has announced an Israeli attack in Zanjan province killed one of its commanders and one soldier.
Tasnim, a news agency affiliated with the IRGC, identified the dead as Reza Najafi, commander of the IRGC in the Ijrud district of Zanjan, and soldier Hassan Rasouli.
More than 220 people, including military officials, scientists, as well as women and children, have been killed across Iran since Israel launched its attack on Friday.
>>2330001it's because it is. this is their traditional architecture
haha
>>2329929It saved Netanyahu's government from a vote of no confidence for one. Speaking speculatively, it might also be preserving it from growing discontent in the military because of the extended campaign in Gaza, then Lebanon, and now occupying Syria wearing out the conscripts and reservists it's come to rely on. Beyond that, now is probably the apogee of Israeli and American/NATO’s strength in the region and the last, best chance to secure conditions necessary for its greater Israel ambitions.
There's also speculation that this is NATO’s gambit to try and open up a southern front in its conflict with Russia and China, which is also on a timer as the Belt and Road procedes apace in central Asia, and which if allowed to be completed and successfully integrates China, Pakistan, Iran, the Central Asian Republics, and Russia, will pretty much totally outflank NATO and make China virtually unassailable.
>>2330022>To me it reinforced the idea that you have to speak to people in real lifealways the best take away imo. i come here to be reminded that im not insane
enough insane ppl here to provide helpful contrast, and every time the lesson is "communism is correct, keep reading & especially keep talking to people"
>>2330050There are rumors of PLA airlifters delivering kit and personnel to Iran, possibly to prepare for a US naval assault with anti-carrier missiles. China doesn't win by doing nothing, it wins by being subtle and not drawing attention to itself.
Tehran is in the refueled range of J-20s, by the way.
>>2330063>the most likely repositoryAll that Mossad inside, and they don't even know?
lol
lmao
>>2330063And Israel can only destroy those underground facilities with American/British deep-penetration bombs.
So I hope
>>2330057 likes boot camp.
>>2330094Russian says it wasn't used, period. In either capacity, as a shower door or as a gas chamber door
Regardless, "shower room" is a huge misnomer of what it actually was pretended to be used for. Gas chamber was used for "decontamination" with the use of anti-lice chemicals. Zyklon-B is literally a pesticide. So, there was a plausible deniability for Nazis - they claimed that huge quantites of Zyklon-B were due to undesireables being incredibly filthy, and shower rooms weren't used for extermination but rather merely for getting rid of lice.
You can murder people in decontamination rooms with a lot of different chemicals; pesticides are good too
