Israel strike live updates: Israel launches dozens of strikes in Iran, IDF says
Early Friday morning, local time, Israel launched dozens of strikes against Iran and declared a state of emergency, according to Defense Minister Israel Katz.
“Following the State of Israel’s preemptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future,” Katz said in a statement.
See also: US says it was not involved in Israel’s military strikes in Iran and Iran doubles down as US signals Israel could strike during nuclear talks.
President Trump says U.S. forces were not in involved in the strike and Iran has no reason to attack U.S. bases in the area. I have my doubts that Iran will give the U.S. a pass when they retaliate.
My biggest concern is that perhaps Iran has multiple nukes complete, or close enough to completion, and Israel was unable to destroy them on Iranian soil. Then there is the possibility of Russia providing some nuclear aid.
The next few days and weeks are going to be “interesting.”
I wish my underground bunker in Idaho were complete and Barb and I were in it.
It’s hard to get prepared appropriately and sufficiently in time for when you need to be prepared. By the time the news of cautionary events comes out to the public, the time for preparing for the next events is almost zero.
Nothing that happens in the Middle East is going to produce a global war. The danger spots are E. Europe and E. Asia.
I hope you are correct.
Iran knows it’s not just fighting Israel. It has to somehow take America’s support off the table first. Without us Israel is going to be hard pressed to resupply. Which is how all armies stay in the fight.
Iran has followed the path of sabotaging terrorism for years for a reason.
It works.
Now look at resent/passed events.
Trump planned and moved large amounts of military hardware and troops into DC, (for a parade, it’s the armies birthday, whoopee!). Ya, right.
Biden’s communist criminal element just somehow managed to open the borders for 4 years to allow every swinging dick terrorist in the world to walk right in. Including every other type of miscreant from Haiti to China. And they didn’t/haven’t done any terrorism yet. Why?
All timed just right for the color revolution of the poor, down-trodden and abused in America to start burning shit, again.
All the while our armories have been emptied into Ukraine.
Every elitest in the world building doomsday bunkers.
Coupled with the drug addicted/food poisoned public. And a high trust society that let’s anyone murder them with barely a whimper.
Infrastructure hanging out in the open for anyone to disrupt at will.
We’ve been set-up for a multi-generation war that will take us off the world stage.
China and Russia don’t have to become super-powers. All they have to do is take away our super-power status through civil strife.
And the rest of the world will be wide open to them.
And they can supply/resupply any contingent they want inside America.
(Hell, Newsom would let them use California ports to do it.)
And we haven’t even started discussing drone warfare. Who builds most of them, and who has the most experience using them.
It ain’t us.
To me, it appears a large group of somebodies wants us in turmoil, chaos, dead and gone.
And if were still a functioning society by next week? I’ll be surprised.
Maybe it’s all just my paranoia? Listened to too much Alex Jones?
But, damn. One has to admit the timing is impeccable for everything to have happen by coincidence.
Bunkering up is a good idea, Joe. I’m sorry to report the satellites got you in full blazing construction of it. But your way to small to worry about just yet. Stock up on fishing gear.
And let’s all pray I’m completely full of crap.
Given that Putin hasn’t even followed up on his threat to use nukes in Ukraine — where his failures actually threaten his continued power and thus his life — it certainly is very much implausible that he would provide serious help to Iran. As for Iran itself having nukes hidden away and deciding to use them, I suppose that’s a small possibility, but MAD remains in effect and even the nutcases in charge there would understand that Tehran and Qom would become glass-covered parking lots if they tried to nuke the US. And for that matter the same thing applies if they tried to do that to Israel.
The other thing is that so far the attacks on Iran have been narrowly tailored. If the regime gets enough out of line they might have their Navy decimated (as Reagan once did, I think) or their oil export ports.
Iran is a paper tiger, as is Russia. Short of a suitcase nuke in a shipping container, or a dirty bomb….they are just “much noise”. Look to see the reaction of the Gulf Nations to the strikes on Iran. If the Gulf does nothing more than make polite noises of protest, then this is going to be regional, and likely short lived.
Ukraine “sneaks” agents into Russia, stations them close to important military bases, then has them launch drones and other short range weapons, with virtual no advance warning, destroying significant parts of Russia’s defense capabilities.
Israel “sneaks” agents into Iran, stations them close to important military bases, then has them launch drones and other short range weapons, with virtual no advance warning, destroying significant parts of Iran’s defense capabilities.
The USA allows hundreds of thousand Chinese to live, study, work and buy land (some near important military locations) in their country.
No one gets out of China without CCP approval.
