It appears last night was ‘a’ retaliation strike on Iran, possibly by up to 100 Israeli jets against targets in Iran, Syria, and Lebanon.
From Fars Iran-
Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency reports that several military bases in the Tehran area were targeted in Israeli strikes. It specifies that several bases in the western and southern areas of the capital were attacked.
Iranian media also says there are no fires or explosions reported at a key refinery south of the capital. “There are no reports of fire or explosions at a Tehran refinery,” Tasnim news agency reports.
Iranian state TV, meanwhile, says operations at Tehran’s airports, including Imam Khomeini International airport, are continuing as usual.
“Operations at Imam Khomeini International Airport and Mehrabad Airport are normal and they continue to operate according to the schedule,” the state TV presenter says, citing the chiefs of Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini airports.
The AP had an interesting take, HERE, basically saying Israel was pushing the Middle East toward war.
I firmly believe Israel has the right to defend themselves, and do what is necessary to get their hostages back. The US use to have a policy of not negotiating with terrorists, but sadly that went out the window…
The question is, what’s next???
Is Israel done, or is there more to come? And what will happen after the election? Anybody want to try to pin ‘that’ tail on the donkey???
US policy now is arguably set by an organization that is also a domestic terrorism conspiracy.
In other news, seen this one yet?

To Mr. Offerman and his ilk–can y’all run faster than 900 fps?
This octogenarian is still pretty good with his 1911, or his 686, or his 228, or his new CSX so mister Offerman is welcome to come check my voting record.
Very curious about air corridors used to reach targets. Which countries did they overfly ?? Haven’t heard any complaints from their neighbors regarding airspace incursions
Another observation on the Israeli strike–

At some point the leader of Russia, allied with Iran, Turkey, Libya, Sudan and others will invade Israel and be destroyed by God in Judea and Samaria. It is prophesied in Ezekiel 38 & 39. All this is preparation.
Personally, I believe (& hope!) that Israel is just getting started and will continue this until they alone are satisfied with the results.
I believe what will happen after the election will depend on who wins the election. Unfortunately.
Personally, I think Israel should bomb freely, beginning with the oil fields, and then move on to the nuclear sites. After that I would go after “military sites”. Hit the Iranians hard in the pocket book first, then chase after the smaller fish. As long as they have $$$ to give to Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Huethies, nothing is going to change.
But that wont happen as long as Joe and company are in power here.
What’s next? Iran will attack Israel…again. Israel will retaliate…again. And the back and forth nitpicking will continue…until Iran succeeds in developing a deliverable nuclear warhead. Then they WILL use it. Once that happens WWIII goes from smoldering to a massive event. It’s not an if, it’s a when. And since Iran is getting help from Russia, China and the NORKs it probably won’t be that long.
All- Thanks from the comments! And I don’t have ANY good answers to any of the questions either…
The Rumint is that (contra the Matt Bracken Gab post linked above) the Israelis took out most of Iran’s Air Defense radars and controllers. Iran shot down wave 1 by illuminating them with the radars that were then taken out in wave 2
It looks like a “message” operation.
“We can where we want, when we want, and destroy what we want…… and there’s nothing you can do to stop us.”
Whether the Mad Mullahs will listen is another question.
Personally, I think that Israel’s supposed allies should let Israel make their own decisions about what to hit, and how hard. None us on here would appreciate being second-guessed if we were in a self-defence situation.
Francis- Agreed
Peter- Yep!
One former Israel spec op on YouTube claims Israel has asserts in Iran that use lasers to illuminate targets for their air force. Let us hope that is true.
Not original thinking on my part but I do believe Biden is Obama’s third term; that Obama is hard corps Muslim, and wants Iran to form the new caliphate. It is obvious Iran supporters are embedded in all levels of our government, especially the Defense Department and the State Department.
Israel needs to identify them and provide them with new cell phones.
