Israel launches ‘preemptive strikes’ against Iran, Defense Minister says
Israel hits Iran’s nuclear program and military leadership in unprecedented strikes | CNN
Benjamin Netanyahu I wanna beat the shit out of you.
So what are the odds that this is actualy going to create a war.
Pretty high given they're already saying this isn't going to be a one day strike, but gonna last a week. There's no way Iran just sits and absorbs it.
It’s clear Israel is deadset on the war. Iran might as well get on with it.
Jesus fuck good morning to you all too
This really does not look good
It does not, Iran has no choice but to retaliate and that could mean the US getting the war with Iran they always wanted.
Israel now adds Iranian children to the long list of children it kills.
"Head of Shahid Chamran Hospital: Today we received the bodies of children aged 4, 5, and 6 years old."
Tel Aviv has been hit. Glory to the resistance.
Also, how do so many Israeli airplanes manage to violated Iranian airspace with seemingly no consequences
looks like Israel sent agents into Iran to disable AD systems in coordination with the strikes https://ca.news.yahoo.com/revealed-mossad-commandos-launched-secret-105629519.html
Stealth works, plus Israel already took out Iran's most advanced radars, their S-300 fire control radars, in previous attacks. After the initial attack waves, even non stealth aircraft likely entered Iranian airspace. Plus Israel has advanced stand off weapons like air launched ballistic and cruise missiles that can be fired from hundreds or even over a thousand kilometres away from the target.
That doesn't track given that we know Yemen nearly shot down an F-35, it's pretty clear that stealth doesn't actually work all that well. https://www.twz.com/air/how-the-houthis-rickety-air-defenses-can-threaten-the-stealthy-f-35
Well that sucks for them to say they least
Because Iran is a paper tiger and are completely unable to mount any kind of response. They have sent ~100 UAVs and almost all of them have been shot down (though that is according to the IDF) Otherwise Iran has been silent on action, but loud on words. Just like they were before the attack.
Here is what Iran has done so far ~18 hours after the attack.
Meanwhile Israel is still continuing to run roughshod all over Iranian Airspace with impunity and attacking targets. Mossad is operating on the ground and very well may be planning to assassinate more senior officials.
This is what Iran said before the attacks:

When you feel like a gimp, always remember the jordanian and iraqi governments exist.
😍
I wonder what happened to the Iranian air defenses. Have they been hacked or why they underperform against the zionist aggression...
Ahh, I have way too many questions.
Their most advanced air defence radars were already destroyed in previous Israeli attacks
S-300 radar vehicle hit during April
HAWK or S-300 air defence site in Tehran on fire during October:
Kahrizak air defense base on fire/explosion in Tehran during October, likely S-300 site
The Israelis were talking about doing this for over 6 months
I was wondering about that as well. Could be that they've made interceptions, but this is just what got through. No AD system is perfect at the end of the day.
Too many global south nations obsessed with being right and convincing their very oppressors that they are being treated unfairly. Boo hoo, you are running a state full of brown people and want sympathy from genocidal racists?
Oh, is a nuke Unislamic? I guess your generals can let god know when the zios send them to him.
Oh, you want to engage in talks? Let me know how that went for Russia and Gaza, not even a month ago.
Oh, are you building an alliance? China and Russia won't even end trade with the entity.
Why do they want to lead a state when they have zero state craft? If they want to be praised by the west, just bring in the shahs of sunset back in power and let them hand everything over to BP and ExxonMobil.
Edit: i dont mean to disrespect Islam or Muslims above. I just think they are being goody two shoes more than they need to.
The nuclear fatwa drives me crazy. Astagfurallah, this is an issue of anhilation against your people, under such a circumstances it's absurd to issue such a general statement regarding a defensive deterrent.
The reformists as a whole are so naive about reproachment with the west and its mind boggling to me. How is it that the principalists, literal conservative islamists, are more rational on the topic of geopolitics but can't figure out that insane morality laws aren't worth defending and only delegitmize their leadership to the public.
I'm not going to say Iran should respond with full force. They are a country if 80 million people, so I feel restraint is a fair response to the bloodthirsty imperialists. However if you are going to show restraint then why can't you take safer approaches to geopolitics and domestic matters.
Iran just responded, thank goodness. Flatten tel aviv!
China and Russia won’t even end trade with the entity.
I fucking wish.
Iran is retaliating faster than I expected. Looks like this might be more than another "Nothing Ever Happens"
Air strikes should only be considered as a last resort. However, based on their comments and behavior, no positive outcomes can be expected. We made the decision to preemptively strike Iran for these reasons.
The lemmy.world excuse! Preemptively doing the act of last resort.
This cartoon just happened to appear right next to this article in my feed. Couldn't be more relevant.
Hello from Iran, still alive
Stay safe and death to Israel
