Israel strikes Iran (Update: US Bombs Iran at #848)

Israel cyber is far superior to Irans

 

We know

 

Same way Biden started the Ukrainian war, or so says the cheeto

 

I’ve never heard a serious argument for “Biden started the Russia-Ukraine War” either. You might say Biden “failed to deter” Russia, but then again you might say Trump “failed to deter” Iran from ending its nuclear weapons program or Israel from striking Iran as a consequence. A failure of deterrence, while not good, is still not the same thing as initiative.

 

You’re being honest and thoughtful taipan. Those posts were meant to satirize the popular hyper partisan attitude that basically everything bad that happens in the universe while the other party is in the White House is the fault of the president.

 

Three of Iran’s most powerful men killed as Israel targets top military and nuclear leadership

 

What's happening now


• 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 says it used 200 fighter jets. In retaliation, Iran launched over 100 drones toward Israeli territory, Israel’s military said.

 

We obviously knew this was coming. Having those planes prepositioned allow us to look at who ever is now in charge in Iran and say “You better ensure your response is proportional and does not include targeting any Americans or our interests. If you ignore that, we have the capability to make last night look like a pin prick.”

 

It also might suggest that the stories about Israel not having the munitions to destroy the enrichment facilities in QOM, where Iran moved most of its most effective centrifuges, is true. As of this morning, Israel has slowed down, but not eliminated Iran's enrichment capability. Some believe that only the US heavy bombers can carry the bombs necessary to destroy the QOM facility, which is further beneath the earth and better protected than Natanz is.

 

If Duke Energy, probably just a bird or squirrel on a wire.

 

Iran has acknowledged that authorities “decided to impose temporary restrictions” on internet access in the country after attacks by Israel.

Iran’s telecommunication and information technology department made the announcement in a statement carried by the state-run IRNA news agency Friday.

“Due to the country’s special circumstances and with the measures taken by relevant authorities, temporary restrictions have been imposed on the country’s internet,” it said.

Iran has a widely censored internet and in times of crisis, has shut down access entirely.

 

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian says his nation would “strongly take action” against Israel after its attacks on the country.

In a televised address Friday, Pezeshkian urged people to unite behind its theocratic government.

The “Islamic Republic of Iran will give a severe, wise and strong answer to the occupier regime,” he said, referring to Israel.

 

Failed to deter Israel, as did Biden. The tail has been waging the dog for some time in this relationship. They couldnt even get Israel to not bomb them while we were trying to negotiate with them.

 

You have to assume that Iranian airspace is almost undefended at this point. Their Air Defense systems apparently were not that active last night and I have not seen anything about Israeli jets shooting down Iranian fighters.

 

Trumps war! He has brought us to the verge of WWIII in a little under 6 months. You should be so proud you were a part of making it happen.

 

How soon until we cut Israel a check to fund the war?
