ISRAEL’S REVENGE: Explosions Reported In Iraq, Syria, And In Iranian Cities With Nuclear Facilities

https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/new...n-iranian-cities-with-nuclear-facilities.html

This is a developing story, and we do not know the extent of the Israeli attack. Apparently this is the first direct Iran-Israel encounter. So if Hamas is told to start shooting, it is going get bloody.
7:50 PDT, no word from Joetato. Zzzzz...
FYI, it is 5:50 AM. It's gonna be a long day.

 

poke the bear-get bit

 

Don’t know the extent but I’ll bet it’s a lot better than the 99% epic failure that Iran posted a week ago lol

 

The US/Israeli propaganda machine has managed to expose how poorly Americans are at computing basic math!

 

they leave Iran no choice but to retaliate, I think they should have both quit, they both attacked each other, it was over - think this is gonna get a lot uglier before it gets better

 

I don't know what you are hearing on your end, but if this was Israel's "retaliation", it was a joke. They hit nothing, caused no damage, and didn't even publicly acknowledge their deed.

 

What’s wrong, you wanted more 9 year old girls hurt? Sorry you didn’t get your way

 

You’re right, when Israel decides to whoop Iranian ass the monitor of Iranian ass will surely know it first

 

If Iran wanted to kill people, its targets wouldn't be Israel's most protected and most sensitive air bases. Nor would Iran give advance notice for those bases to be evacuated of non-essential personnel and the Israeli PM's version of Airforce 1 moved elsewhere, with everything and everyone else crammed into shelters.

But basic math eludes those who repeat US/Israeli propaganda! They admit 9 MRBMs hit targets in Israel, claim Iran had fired 300 projectiles (110 MRBMs of which only half didn't malfunction) and use woodoo math to claim 99% success rate! Here is a clue: 99% of 300 means only 1 % got through and 1% of 300 is 3. 1% of 110 MRBMs is 1.1. 1% of functional 55 MRBMs is only 0.55 not intercepted...not 9 that is admitted!

 

So Iran wanted to deliberately suck ass as much as possible and declare to the world just how good they are at sucking ass. Brilliant strategy! Riveting success!

Success or failure isn’t predicated on “getting through”. A missile blown out of the sky is just as much a failure as a missle that doesn’t make it off the launch pad or “gets through” and hits nothing.

Iran had a 99% failure rate because 99% of them sucked ass as hard as you say Iran intended to suck ass. And boy was that some hard sucking bro!

 

Live with your propaganda. But these reports should help those interested in facts.

Listen to this

 

You’re the one telling me Irans strategy was to suck ass. Seems like what you think and the “propaganda” agree quite well with each other

 

The important part of this episode has received little attention. Israel has benefited from nearly uniform support and assistance from the Sunni Arab states in the region. The Israel-Sunni alliance is already de facto. Iranian policy risks driving it to de jure status. Like Germany before WW1, Iran makes the mistake of calculating that the way to make a neighbor a friend is to scare him.

 

Its not retaliation when they attacked you first.

Iran lobbed missiles into various nations. They have now received retaliation for it. If they're smart, they let it go.

 

both sides would be smart to let it go...

it's in Iran's court now, let's hope they do....

 

Just like when Israel used a software virus to damage or destroy most of Iran's uranium centrifuge units it appears the Iranian regime will try to lie and minimize damage in order to save face and avoid escalation to all our war which it knows it can't win. Other than a few ineffective missiles and very slow primitive drones Iran cannot directly project force to Israel, not least of all because it cannot reach Israel in force, Israel, however, can simply nuke all of the cities in Iran.

 

Satellite imagery shows no damage to either the airbase in Isfahan or the S300 battery, but according to the NYT "expert" the fact that no damage can be seen even to the vehicles carrying those batteries proves the "precision" of the strike! lol

If it makes the pro Israeli propaganda machinery happy, Israel really showed Iran its "capability to strike inside Iran." Israel is so advanced its "ballistic missiles" travel invisibly" from the atmosphere into their target. Without anyone seeing anything! And those missiles are so precise, that the damage they do cannot be really seen on satellite imagery.

As for the strike against the PMU facility in Iraq, it seems Israel and the US have both denied being involved! I guess it was the Martians who did it.

I like the way Israel is striking at Hamas and Iran. My support for Israel is unconditional. My concern is that Israel may behave in ways that are counter productive. Israel should not be seen as aggressive and weak at the same time.

 

The Israelis' point was to demonstrate they could go anywhere in Iran and attack any target in Iran with impunity. The action was a warning.

 

Israel conducted a failed sabotage operation from inside Iran. The rest is spin.

 

That nonsense is beneath your usually reasonable standard.
I suspect Iranian military leaders are quite well aware that the action showed the Israelis can come and go without detection. And again, that was the point.
Meanwhile, as I already posted, the larger takeaway is the cooperation with Israel by the Sunni Arab states in the region.

 

It caused Iran to back down. Mission accomplished.

 

I actually gave credence to this notion of some S-300 radar being hit initially, even though I certainly can't see any damage through anything visible to me from the satellite pic in the NYT piece claiming such damage. But I was then reminded that no one observed any incoming missiles or anything of the sort. I have concluded the whole thing was a sabotage operation from inside Iran. If this was meant as a message or warning, the whole point was missed by Iran whose military and political leaders are laughing it off as a prank. No one, however, believes the strike in Iraq against the PMU was a prank. The spectacle of Israel trying to point suspicion on the US and vice versa is really embarrassing, with both denying they had anything to do with it.

 

The PMU were likely hit by Sunni terrorists.
Of course Iran's military and political leadership will try to laugh Israel's strike off publicly. But they know what happened.

 

Iran has been retaliating for decades. Forcing Iran to attack Israel and U.S. forces in the ME instead of using proxies is a no win situation for Iran. Trump negotiated a peace accord with several Arab countries and Israel. The accord isolates Iran. Iran will continue to bark loudly but it will not bite. Israel’s latest attack on Iran showed Iran Israel knows where Iran’s strategic military bases are located. Next time Israel might use their tactical nukes on those sites using the very lethal F35 aircraft. Iran never saw them coming.
