How will this turn out? Like the last strike or a wider war?

Likely will be similar to last time. Iran doesn’t have the cards. Especially with Trump around.

Heh, I wonder now if Trump’s *negotiations* were anything more than a distraction.

I drove straight to the gas station and filled up.
Gas will be more expensive in the morning than it is this evening.

I expect that this is going to lead to a wider war.

No doubt there will be strikes on Israel within a few hours, and then general war in the Persian Gulf as terminals and refineries burn.

There will be more than one attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz.

Terrorist cells will be activated.

The price of oil will soar.

It’s going to be a big friggin’ mess.

Israel wiped out Iran’s entire military wing and made a direct hit on a nuke facility

Trump and Rubio - we see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.

We did not know. We are not involved.

US milage may vary. Israel is another of America’s Proxies. They are fulling integrated into the US economy with high tech. Much of the leading medical and tech comes from US companies who have plants or facilities in Israel. Without US economic cross-over this small nation could not exist.

We just let 21 million people into our country.

Does anyone actually think there were not bad state actors in the group?

This MIGHT be different, this time.

If they did this against our advice, good luck on your own this time Israel.

The spin from Israel moving to targeted assassination of top Iranian military leaders a variation on the exploding pagers scheme involving Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Perhaps this is hoped to prevent Iran’s military response and compel its civilian government into submission.

Israel has already largely defeated the various iranian cats paws of hamass, hezbollah, and the houthis are not a big threat. So this is Israel trying to stop the mullahs from a nuke that they promised they would launch at Israel to murder every Jew in the place so their stupid mahdi will come up out of his well. Cries.

Israel is in a really tough place. This is direct war between Israel and Iran.

Iran will next launch every capable missile and drone at Israel. It’s going to be a very long 24 hours. Probably, enough of those will get through to murder random women and children. Iran doesn’t aim well. All Israelis are in their bomb shelters, but a direct hit will still get you.

Then what? I predict a daily bombing campaign by Israel of everything potentially strategic to the regime. Which begs the question: Will Israel attack very vulnerable oil infrastructure, especially Kharg Island? If so, then Israelnis aiming at society wide destruction to put the Iranians on their heels for decades. And it’ll be one helluva environmental disaster.

You can’t stand idly by while your suicidal and murderous neighbor builds a bomb on his property big enough to take both of you out. You have to stop him.

WOW. It had to come to this, given who the mullahs are. Tragic. Necessary.

United States should have kicked the sh*t out of Iran back in 1979. It has been the correct answer for every year since then.

It was foolish for us to have left those religious nutjobs alone for so many decades.

Long overdue and good work by Israel.
Here's hoping they get this job done right.

Does anyone doubt that Iran would use nukes on Israel if they had them? A nuclear Iran is an existential threat for them.

To those who I have always supported in Israel.

If Rubio speaks the truth, then you OWN this war.

It’s all yours.

You’re on your own.

I wish you well and I wish you victory, but if it were up to me, I wouldn’t lift a finger to help you.

TACO: that's how this will look to every other country in the world.

If the big guy stands around and does nothing while his friends are attacked, he will be attacked eventually also.

I always thought about getting a really mean German Shepherd or a rotweiler and training him to attack when I shout “heel” or “back.” Surprise!
