Yes, well, the question now is: will Iran pussy out like Hezbollah and Syria (with Putin's help - or lack thereof) did? Will Putin pussy out - like he's done at least THREE TIMES in recent years? Will China?
I frankly don't care anymore. I would like to see Tel Aviv turned into what Israel has turned Gaza into - a grave site. But I'm not sanguine about humans being able to do anything right.
Meanwhile, morons at Moon of Alabama are babbling conspiracy theories about "it wasn't an air strike, it was planted bombs", blah, blah, blah. The usual crap spouted over there.
I can't be bothered with this stuff anymore. I said my piece in my "I. Told. You. So." Substack post. That's it.
Everyone knows who's behind this. It's not Netanyahu. All this crap about Trump not wanting this is utter bullshit. Just listen to Brian Berletic's video I posted in a Note - he gets it exactly right. It's all comes directly from the US and anyone who thinks Trump is not directly behind this is a moron - which includes all of Trump's supporters who keep thinking he's "playing 3D chess" when he can't even handle marbles.
Humans. Fuck 'em all. They deserve what they get for being 98.5% genetically identical to chimpanzees.
Initially, official news outlets denied that Mohammad Bagheri, chief of staff of the armed forces, was killed by Israel, but now several outlets have confirmed that he has been assassinated.
If I were an Iranian official in any capacity, I would be thinking about Mossad's ability to track them, and for the IAF to get them. There is no effective air defense in Iran despite their claims and this is a beyond impressive level of targeting.
It's also an astonishingly cynical and inhuman level of brutality. Israel kills anyone, anywhere in the world, whom it dislikes for any reason or imagines might become a threat. And the rest of the world stands idly by, half of them laughing and applauding, the other half carrying on with business as usual.
If there is any morality in the human species, one day Israel must meet with Nemesis.
Hopefully Israel will meet its nemesis soon. Al Mayadeen has reported that Iran already started its retaliation with a 1st wave of 100+ drones, probably to saturate air defences. Expect barrage of missiles later!
You can see the entire floor blown out with twisted steel beams. I've been staring at the scale of the damage on A'Q all night To do this damage you're talking a multi-hundred lb warhead.
This excludes the possibility of a hand delivered bomb, any long range Israeli cruise missile (the only Israeli cruise missile remotely close to that payload is the Popeye -75 to 80km range, 350lb war head, meaning launched just outside Tehran) or a drone (Israel's largest suicide drone is the IAI Harop, with a payload of 35lbs.)
Could be the Air LORA, an air launched ballistic missile but that's still a minimum of a couple of hundred kms within Iranian airspace.
Get used to the fact that Israel flew well inside Iranian airspace to attack, successfully. It's a mathematical reality.
Israel knows from previous experience that it would not be able to bypass Iranian air defences. So yes, it's very likely that Mossad saboteurs aunched attacks from within Iran.
Iran is supposed to have gotten latest Russian updates on radar and other air defense related stuff...
So they should have seen incoming planes. Even if they couldn't defend against the strikes in time.
Should. Now hoping for the world not to end, but the Gaza holocaust to be ended with lots, million plus Gaza survivirys. And westbank starting deadly resistance against their occupation.
So, the problem is even if you can detect the baseball sized contact travelling at mach 1.6, on the S-band surveillance radar of the Iranian AD, the X-band the fire control radars (essential for actual launches) of the Iranian systems don't have a good enough combined power and signal to noise ratio (both important) for F35s.
You can actually see the physics of this sensor/target interaction in Command: Modern Operations. The professional version is used by militaries world-wide.
What Iran HAS intercepted are two Israeli drones. They've show video of the crashed drone components (likely IAI Harop.) It makes sense because these are suicide drones with very moderate speed approaching a target. Pretty easy for Iraninian flak to shoot down.
There are however videos of video-guided drones killing their S300 launchers (with the missiles still on the rails) and radars.
Iranian claims of shot down planes are nothing more than copium huffing. What evidence have they produced to substantiate these claims in official channels or private phone pics? 1. A picture of the shootdown of a Russian jet by Turkish AD (from 2009,iirc) as a supposed F35 intercept 2. An AI picture of something they claim is an F35 with a backwards tail fin, out of alignment with the rest of the fuselage and an apparently still lit afterburner. Could be an F20, lol. 3. A potato quality photoshop of a crashed f35 where you can see the layer joins on forensic image utilities, and plenty of blurring is applied.
The most reliable way to know these claims of downed IAF planes are lies is that despite 10-12 claimed shoot downs they have produced exactly ZERO tail identifier pics... ABSOLUTELY zero unit serials. The claimed captured pilot hasn't been seen on video. The Iranian press release used a picture of a Chilean pilot.
When they show unit serials and have a warehouse with a twisted F35 fuselage you'll know they aren't lying about this stuff, instead of producing fake evidence to try to soothe the panicking Iranian populace (who are currently fleeing Tehran as we speak, which you can see on google traffic if you check at this very moment.)
What if no top people were actually killed in this heinous attack? Iran had released a couple of official statements saying “we are ready”, a couple of days before the attacks. Iranians are not stupid people. So, what if they’re playing a deeper strategy? Get Israel and the US to show their true colors. Move the top people out of harms way and now have them lead quietly from the background. Time will tell I guess, but something about this seems a bit off to me.

I hace read on Al Mayadeen that Iran already started its retaliation launching a 1st wave of 100+ drones.
I couldn't agree more! Humans are the stupidest species on Earth.
God willing, Iran stays strong and Israel dissappear.
Gladly, it's better than the hell you're wallowing in
You don't understand the meaning of right. Go and have fun with your emojis, seems like they're your level of thinking and communicating.

Yes, see Simplicius's latest.

Air defense systems are not generally located in apartment blocks. Cruise missiles at low altitudes are difficult to intercept in urban areas.
Those apartment strikes may even have been drones launched locally by Mossad agents.
First reports are always incomplete, and Israel can never be blindly trusted even with second, third or even ninth reports.

Iran has never been confirmed to shoot down an Israeli aircraft. Syria shot down an F16I, but a F35I is designed to penetrate 4th gen air defenses.

I think it's wishful thinking. Khamenei already announced the replacements of killed officials soon after their deaths.
Sadly, I agree.
