IDF estimates: Within a week - the bank of targets in Iran will be exhausted and all attacks planned for the campaign will be completed; 35-40% of the ballistic missile array has been neutralized: "You can't chase every missile, you have to hit the bottlenecks"
New details behind the scenes of the preparations for the operation: "The business was neglected for years, in February the target bank was almost empty - and every day we made more progress."
The IDF estimates that within about a week, it will be possible to complete the attack on all the targets prepared in the "target bank" for the campaign. There is a possibility that it will take another week, but these are approximate timetables.
The target bank includes 3 types of targets: nuclear, ballistic missiles, and Iranian air defense.
The IDF is concerned about the possibility of the war prolonging beyond what was expected - and wants to avoid such a scenario.
The IDF is revealing new and dramatic details behind the scenes of the preparations for the operation tonight - which show that until a few months ago, Israel was not ready for a large-scale campaign against Iran and the target bank was almost empty, but the accelerated and intensive preparations made by the Military Intelligence and the Air Force - are what made the operational and intelligence successes that are now taking place possible:
- The battle procedure began at the end of October, in the midst of the war against Hezbollah. The IDF began practical and tangible preparations for the war against Iran - and senior officers describe: "We found an empty cup. The Air Force's capabilities were generic, the knowledge infrastructure was deep, but the target bank was empty. The matter was abandoned for years - because over the years they believed that the confrontation would be through covert operations by the IDF and the Mossad, and perhaps a complementary move by the Air Force."
- In November, the IDF convened a secret strategic conference of senior officers in the Military Intelligence and Air Force - to understand which "centers of gravity" in Iran needed to be effectively hit in order to hit the Iranians. For 10 hours, while maneuvering in Lebanon, hundreds of officers locked themselves in one place to think together. The main conclusion they reached: the key to success - is air superiority. Only an effective strike on the Iranians' surface-to-air missile systems, and the creation of air freedom of action in Iranian skies - will achieve all the other desired goals.
- The IDF established a joint team of 120-130 Intelligence and Air Force personnel with the goal of cracking the riddle of "air superiority" in Iran. The months passed, the team worked, and the breakthrough did not come. A senior Intelligence official describes: "We reached January and began to get stressed. We realized that we were on the wrong path, and on the way to not succeeding - and to tell the superiors that we could not carry out the mission."
- In February-March, the breakthrough came, and the crackdown came. The IDF understood that for each Iranian air defense system, a different intelligence solution was required. Each system - to be located using a different intelligence method. But still, despite the crackdown - the target bank was empty. It included only a few dozen targets, and it was clear that this would not be enough for a war that could be prolonged.
- The Intelligence Directorate appointed dedicated teams that built the Israeli target bank in Iran: each team was responsible for a different type of target - ballistic missiles, command, air defense, nuclear, economic, and more: "Every day seemed better than the day before, and we reached a point where we felt more mature."
- The IDF was looking for the right moment in time when the elements that would enable the opening strike would come together. Things began to converge on one date - when Iran reached a very advanced point in nuclear technology (short of a bomb), ballistic missiles reached a developing point (Iran managed to recover from the November attack in which the missile production reactors were damaged), and the plan to destroy Israel through the proxies in the Middle East matured and also progressed. The conditions were ripe - the decision was made - and the operation was launched.

You find out that every so often I sell a box of bullets to a tatted up Nazi skinhead who regularly kills homeless drifters and loots the bodies. I don't need the money, and the Nazi doesn't need the bullets to keep doing this and normally gets far more ammo elsewhere.
Would you criticize this?

>>2333867>China enables the genocide of Palestinians […] perhaps even more than the USA doesNo one says this.
I would never mention China, if I was not constantly told to believe China is a bastion of anti-imperialism and the savior of the global south one moment, and the next moment I'm told China should never ever lift a finger for anything that doesn't affect their short term interests directly, and that it's actually good that they trade so much with Israel so that Chinese CEO's can become richer.

>>2334218Maybe different people are talking to you and you shouldn't pretend that the people who say
>China is a bastion of anti-imperialism and the savior of the global southare the same people who say
>China should never ever lift a finger for anything that doesn't affect their short term interests directlyFor example here is my position: It is unrealistic (not "good" not "bad" but
unrealistic) to expect China to stop trading with Israel in order to satisfy the complaints of powerless people far away who aren't even part of the CPC's constituency and who will continue to hold China in contempt anyway, all for results that won't even significantly reduce Israel's military capacity, since they buy most of their weapons from America (700m/year) and India (100million/year) vs. China (2m/year)

Can you stop being fucking retarded or just STFU instead of spreading whatever nonsense disinformation you find from nazi freaks on twitter.com? jfc.
Anyone else find some of the rhetoric a bit disgusting? Apparent "leftists" championing Iran most of the time clear straight antisemitic reasons.
Quick reminder for Irancels:
Authorities responded to the 2022–2023 “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests with lethal force, killing hundreds and arresting thousands. Many were subjected to torture, unfair trials, and even execution.
Women, girls, LGBTQ+ individuals, and ethnic and religious minorities—especially the Baha’i community—face systemic discrimination, harassment, and violence.

>>2334271So does that headline say that the Chinese demanded austerity, or does it say that the Zimbabwe ruling class imposed austerity hoping it would attract Chinese investment? It says the latter, and the assertion that it was done "to attract Chinese investment" may very well be editorializing. You really have to compare what the IMF does (demand austerity as a pre-condition for high interest loans) with what China does (give zero-interest loans and then forgive them anyway).
Note I haven't weighed in on the abstract question of whether China qualifies as socialist or not because that question at this point interests me much less than what is the difference between existing countries, their strategies, tactics, and roles in the global financial system, because these distinctions do matter to some extent. If they didn't matter people here woudn't side with Palestine (not socialist) and Iran (not socialist) against Israel (not socialist).

Iran used ‘undetectable’ missile in strike on Israeli intelligence siteIran’s Defence Ministry says it used a new, undetectable missile in striking an Israeli intelligence facility, claiming the attack penetrated multiple layers of air defences.
“In today’s attack, we deployed missiles that could not be tracked or intercepted,” said Brigadier General Reza Talaei-Nik, the ministry’s spokesperson, according to Iranian state news agency IRNA.
He described the operation as a surprise for Israelis, warning that they will witness more.
Earlier today, Iran said its missile attacks hit a military intelligence centre and a Mossad operations planning centre.
Talaei-Nik added that Israel is not prepared for prolonged conflict.
“The Zionist regime cannot withstand a long war,” he said, adding that Iran’s military has been equipped with advanced systems – some of which “have not yet even been deployed”.

>>2334494>>2334496If anything the class explanation would predict the opposite outcome. I have always been told black/brown people in the USA are more likely to be proletarian than other demographics (for discrimination reasons), so why according to sabocat do they support capitalist imperial intervention against Iran at a higher rate according to sabocat? Is it fake polling data? Also black people in the US are more likely to be Muslim and anti-Israel than white Americans so it surprised me to hear that.
"Patriotism" to me seems the proper explanation. Imperial institutions have made an effort to do more outreach to black people, working class or otherwise, over the past two decades, while white people increasingly feel alienated from their own settler colonial society, hence the embrace of "anti-estabilshment" (heavy scare quotes) conservatism that is skeptical of neocon intervention (at least among the base voters, not among the pandering demagogues).

Trump meeting with national security teamUS President Trump is meeting his national security team in the White House Situation Room this afternoon, according to a US media report.
The meeting comes as Trump weighs whether the US should deepen its involvement in the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel.
He returned to Washington yesterday, cutting short his appearance at the G7 summit in Canada by a day.
Earlier today, Trump made a series of statements on his Truth Social platform, including a pointed message directed at Iran’s leadership, claiming the US knows “exactly” where Iran’s supreme leader is “hiding”.
Trump may step into war on Iran ‘at another time’Liqaa Maki, a political analyst at Al Jazeera Arabic, says Trump appears to be engaging in a campaign of deception.
“I think this indecisiveness and confusion are deliberate,” he said. “I think he is planning to intervene in this war at another time.
“He will intervene when he is informed by his military leadership that Iran is in a position of military weakness and cannot respond against US bases and interests. And then maybe he will participate in the war … to get credit for the victory.”

>>2334904Trump Secretly Greenlit Iran WarTrump knew that Israel was going to attack Iran, knew the basic outlines of the strategy, and implicitly gave the U.S. okay.
Trump also quietly (and enthusiastically) embraces Israel's unstated goal of “regime change,” two high level U.S. officials involved in the internal discussions tell me.
Trump hasn’t officially “approved” anything, hasn’t committed anything to paper, and hasn't signed off on any specific act. But in the dance of phone calls and back channel messages and things said and not said, the two countries found agreement. Trump has given Israel a green light by not saying no.
This is the world of statecraft at the highest level, where leaders say one thing and do another. This is not only for “deniability” sake or to intentionally mislead the public. It’s just the way of the world that includes a set of rules and workarounds that allows leaders to never be frank.
There are massive risks involved in Israel’s campaign, and in America’s implicit support, but in the ways of national security, we just don’t get to discuss them.
It all started during the Biden administration, the two knowledgeable insiders tell me, when Israel first pitched America on the campaign playing out now. Fearing escalation and things spinning out of control, fearing the United States getting dragged in, fearing Iranian civilian deaths, Biden “vetoed” Israel’s plan, that is, under the table and off the record, in the shadow world of deniable diplomacy.
Washington’s lack of assent meant that direct action to operate outside the context of the Hamas war off the table. Instead, Israel in 2024 carried out a spate of assassinations of extremely high-level adversaries. First, Israel killed Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Then they bombed an Iranian embassy building in Damascus, killing high-ranking Iranian generals. Israel carried out the devastating pager operation and killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Nobody expected these operations to be as successful as they were, which emboldened Israel.
On April 1, 2024 Iran attacked Israel in a massive and unprecedented missile and drone attack. Quietly, the U.S. military helped to defend its number one ally. The Arab states looked the other way. The Iranian attack was largely thwarted which, sources tell me, came as a surprise to the U.S. government and further emboldened Israel. Even so, Joe Biden didn’t want a broader war and the risk it entailed. So he kicked the can down the road to Donald Trump.
None of this, of course, began in 2024. Iran and Israel have been engaged in a tit-for-tat shadow war for years, with Iran arming Hamas and other Israeli adversaries. This culminated in Hamas’ October 7 attack in 2023, a traumatic event that could not have taken place without Iran’s long standing support and funding.
That shadow war is what’s at the background of all of this, not Iran’s nuclear capabilities, the hobbyhorse of a Washington unwilling to deal with the reality of the decades-long war and the absence of our own policy for finding peace with Iran.
What has changed since 2024 is Donald Trump. Trump has dropped the Biden administration's use of the word “ironclad” to describe U.S. support for Israel, and the president openly favors better relations with the rich autocratic Arab states.
And yes, there’s the additional factor that the president thinks he can negotiate anything and everything. But as he has pursued nuclear talks with Iran, he’s also warned of the consequences if those talks failed.
“The president has made clear that Iran cannot have uranium enrichment,” Vice President Vance said today. “And he said repeatedly that this would happen one of two ways — the easy way or the ’other’ way.”
In reality, while the negotiations commenced, in secret chambers involving just a handful of principal officials, Trump and his closest advisors talked about Israel’s long-standing “plan.”.
A hint of these discussions appeared this past weekend, when Trump told the Wall Street Journal that his team had foreknowledge of Israel’s plans.
The lesson Israel took from 2024 is that Iran might be able to bloody its nose, but not destroy it or the region. Not now, anyway. Israel also assesses that its many attacks on Iran’s proxies, the emergence of a new Syrian regime, the “failure” of the nuclear talks, and, of course, its precise intelligence on Iran’s leadership, makes this the best moment to act.
“We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran,” Trump blurted out today — his use of the word “we” a tell that he is fully behind Israel.
It will take awhile for the military and the bureaucracy (and of course Congress) to catch up. The news media will be filled with stories about the contradictions of this and that, about how close Iran was or wasn’t to acquiring a nuclear weapon, about World War III and how toppling the Iranian regime is just the next Iraq or Libya. Right up until “it” happens, whatever it will be.
“Everyone should evacuate Tehran!,” Trump said Monday.
President Trump has been unusually tight-lipped about Israel’s military campaign. Asked Monday about the possibility of regime change, the normally loquacious Trump said simply, “I want to see no nuclear weapon in Iran; and we’re well on our way to making sure that happens.” Pressed further at the G7 (before the president walked out) about what he “knew,” he answered totally out of character that he didn’t want to talk about that.
Israel has not yet “officially” said that its goal is regime change — that’s part of the game as well — but with much of Iran’s military leadership eliminated in a lightning-fast series of strikes since Friday, Israel’s objectives clearly extend beyond just halting their nuclear program. According to the IDF, as of yesterday, Israel has struck more than 865 targets (really aimpoints at targets, not targets themselves). The IDF says that 20 plus senior military commanders have been eliminated. Israel is also attacking Iranian missile launchers and it says it has already eliminated 120, a third of Iran’s force.
Aware of Israel’s desire to mount a stronger attack, Trump publicly said that he wanted 60 days to negotiate with Iran.
“I had 60 days, and they had 60 days, and on the 61st day, I said, we don’t have a deal,” Trump said during a press conference yesterday.
Israel didn’t ask. Trump didn’t say no. Israel waited and prepared even more, timing the execution of its campaign for precisely when the talks faltered.
By laying out a deadline like that, Trump was signaling to Israel, without explicitly saying so, that the United States would then not oppose Israel launching their military campaign. In discussions with the uniformed military at the highest level — I’m told only a half dozen generals were involved in the discussion — everyone agreed that it was wise to keep the U.S. at arm’s length from Iran’s reprisal in order to best serve U.S. interests. (Trump also didn’t want to antagonize his Arab friends like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, who have publicly come out in support of Iran.)
The desire to minimize blowback on America is clear in the Trump administration’s public messaging. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a brief statement on Thursday saying little more than that Israel’s action was “unilateral” and that “We are not involved in strikes against Iran…”
The statement closes with a warning: “Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel.”
“The president has shown remarkable restraint in keeping our military's focus on protecting our troops and protecting our citizens,” Vance said today. “He may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment. That decision ultimately belongs to the president.”
Indeed it does, and that decision is formulating as Trump works himself into a lather. “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER,” Trump posted today, all caps and all in. At least for now.
It is a hellish world, when this dance of carefully worded statements, obfuscation, and even denial reign supreme. Trump, Vance, and Rubio are all lying, but then that’s the strategy.
