Israel says it's conducting 'precise strikes on military targets' in Iran
Several loud explosions were heard in the capital Tehran, according to Iranian state media.
"Israel says" - Oh so lies then. Gotcha.
Still waiting for the proof of those underground hamas command bunkers filled with gold and beheaded Jewish babies to appear.
Whenever they claim that about Gaza the target is usually a hospital. So ya'know, "trustworthy."
Israel opening up a 3rd front in their war right before USA elections.
I'm sure this time USA will totally do something to reign them in...
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)
Right before the election, of course.
EDIT: Israel has announced its over and Iran says the attacks were limited. I'm actually surprised, hopefully it means that the escalations between the two are over.
Taken from the live page at Al Jazeera:
Iran’s military has confirmed that Israeli strikes on the country targeted military bases in Ilam, Khuzestan and Tehran provinces, causing “limited damage.”
The statement from Iran’s armed forces was read aloud on state television, which showed no images from the sites of the attacks.
Iran’s military claimed its air defences limited the damage inflicted by Israel’s strikes.

"October surprise!" - Netanyahu
Looks constrained so far. No energy targets. Yet.
So.....hospitals? Schools? (While they're open and full of children of course)
It looks like it's over.
If they're actually telling the truth about 'precise military targets,' and I'm not confident of that, this is not as bad as I had feared.
Not good, but not as bad as I had feared, which was a much more massive retaliation.
Now we just have to hope things don't keep escalating.
The genocide in Gaza and the invasion in Lebanon were "limited ground incursions" so I don't trust Israels wording here either.
Like I said, I'm not confident of that. But I'm not confident of anything Iran says either. I don't trust Israel and I don't trust Iran. Neither government has given me reason to.
I wonder if we will ever find out the truth about anything either of them have done so far in this particular recent conflict they're involved in with each other.
At least for now, it looks like Iran is downplaying the attacks, which is a good sign for de-escalation.
Iran made it clear that if the attack was contained, than they would let it be. If not, then they retaliate.
If they do intend to retaliate, I don't expect it happening before the election. They know these kinds of things help Trump and the last thing they want is a Trump presidency.

Groups like MBFC use their position as gatekeepers of the political spectrum to disguise radical ideas as centrist positions, and it’s ironic that !world using such a biased propaganda platform to tell its readers what is credible.
Bias is not the same thing as propaganda, propaganda is not the same thing as misinformation. Articles should be evaluated on how factual they are, and there are plenty of platforms that are doing the hard work of verifying information without putting their political ideology above their credibility. This bot is a mistake.
Before removing the bot, !news mods removed comments critical of the bot, and ignored the overwhelming negative feedback and the consensus that the bot should be removed when they opened the discussion up to the community.
!politics and !world now appear to be willing to change course. The vote to "Kill" -- stop their bot from advertising MBFC in all of their posts -- appears to be leading in both communities.
If you upvote the Kill comment so that this lead becomes a landslide, you can make it even more embarrassing and difficult for them to claim 'bots' or backtrack.
