Iran Attacks Israel. Israel to give “an unprecedented response”. UN Security Council to meet.
Iran has launched hundreds of drones, cruise and ballistic missiles. Iran says with this attack, it considers the matter concluded, and any Israeli response will be met with severe retaliation. Iran also tells the US to stay away and that if any regional nation is used to launch the Israeli response, they will be targeted, too.
Israel claims to have intercepted 99% of Iranian response, and the IDF says citizens no longer need to stay near shelters, suggesting the Iranian attack is over. They were helped by UK and US fighter jets in other countries. Israel says it will give “an unprecedented response”. Israel has told the US what their response will consist of.
UN Security Council to meet at 4 PM Eastern Time, Sunday. As of now, it seems all drones and missiles have been intercepted/hit their targets. The impact on Israel has been extremely minor, with minimal casualties and zero fatalities. A military target seems to have been hit. Now we wait for Israel's response.
Hopefully, that too is similarly limited and the situation calms down.

Per randos on Twitter, drones will reach in a few hours. It's not missiles or anything more substantial...yet (and hopefully never).
Edit - Hopefully, this is the only response. I can't stand the people cheering for this or wanting further escalation. Millions will die. I have no idea what Israel will do in retaliation for this retaliation. I don't even have any hopes they'll not respond. I just don't know.
You're viewing a single thread.
Expected. Iran didn't respond right away to the Israeli attacks, but instead wanted to get Biden to deescalate and get Israel to stop being so insane. Biden refused and here we are.
Biden's strategy has been to beg Iran to not take the bait because they're more reasonable but he's not going to tell Israel to stop because he's chicken shit. So this is going to slowly escalate for a while.
It's so awesome that all Biden had to do was to reign Israel in and stop giving them money. Instead they have been given support for every fucking thing they have done and now we are facing a fullblown war in the region. All because if this fucking asshole.
