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

Umm…what?

 

Meantime. Iran denies ever being offered a ceasefire.

 

Dude you are operating in a parallel universe…fascinating and irritating.

 

Yeah, I saw where that’s their story. Could be exactly how it appears. Could be the left hand in Iran knoweth not what the right hand knoweth. Could be they just aren’t ready to admit they’ve agreed to a ceasefire yet. I guess we will know or not by if there are any attacks overnight.

 

Confirmation, huh? About what was the decisive factor in how the President decided to make his move. Good Lord. Couldn’t even give him a week before starting nonsense like this.

 

Here’s some more footage showing the interceptions. NSFW sound.

Or they just didn’t wanna give Trump any credit after he bombed them.

 

Would like to know which of the MacGregor “one third of Tel Aviv destroyed” or, “only 9 missiles total hit Israel” camps are accurate.

 

I’m not sure Iran could make themselves look any more foolish today.

“We didn’t agree to the ceasefire Trump announced, but if Israel does what Trump said they agreed to do, we will do what Trump said we agreed to do.”

 

More face saving, I guess. The conflict termination equivalent of “She didn’t break up with me. I broke up with her.”

 

Sadly. The universe he operates in is large. They want to believe

 

My son started a new job TODAY. At lunch, his new co-worker told him that his first project was being attacked by Iran. He is a civil engineer & 1 of the many things that the firm does is design of military bases. I guess that one is getting new missile detection towers, sewer sys, backup solar etc.

 

I gotta be honest, that went even better than I hoped it would. Now why can’t Trump apply this level of cojones in Ukraine?

 

Whelp, the Iranian foreign minister tweeted that their military ended its operations to punish Israeli aggression at 4 AM Tehran time, then Iran fired a limited number of ballistic missiles at Israel shortly before 6 AM Tehran time.

While we’re still a little more than an hour before when Trump said the ceasefire would go into effect, we’re past the time Tehran said hostilities would need to end. So now we get to see if Tehran is fighting until the last minute allowed under the ceasefire they insisted they didn’t agree to (as opposed to the “offer” they’ve been tweeting about), or if the Iranian command structure is fractured with different factions struggling for control, or what exactly is going on.

 

Hoping for the best here. I don't think pootie pie would respond in a good way to the US dropping bunker busters onto his territory.

 

Depends on the missile. Evidently an Iranian tactic is to fire older less accurate missiles to overwhelm Israeli Air defence missile interceptors. Then Iran fires it's newer more accurate missiles (in layman's terms). Missiles are rated on precision and accuracy. No need for me to explain the difference. I do recall the Iranian response when Trump killed Soleimani. Those missiles were evidently fairly precise.

There are those who believe Iran has nuclear warheads mounted on ballistic missiles that are evidently launched using fiberoptic cables. I guess I should keep my Intel sources secret (not Scott Ritter for the above)

You always have information telling us how amazing Iran is…I hear it’s beautiful there this time of year.

 

...in which case Putin would surely deploy the scariest, meanest, filthiest, nastiest, most terrifying words and threats the world has ever heard....

...and slowly angle his laughing stock antiquated rust bucket war machine, in our general direction.

He still has nukes.
