Translated from Hebrew
The IDF spokesperson announces that the IDF and the US Army have launched a joint, extensive, and powerful operation to comprehensively strike the Iranian terror regime and remove existential threats to the State of Israel over the long term. The blow included the targeting of dozens of military sites and was carried out as part of a broad, coordinated, and joint offensive against the regime.

The Iranian regime has not abandoned its plan to destroy Israel. In recent months, and despite the severe blow it suffered in Operation "With a Lion," the IDF identified that the regime continued its attempts to fortify, protect, and conceal its nuclear programs, alongside the restoration of its missile production process. In addition, the regime continued to fund, train, and arm its proxies based along the borders of the State of Israel. *These actions constitute an existential threat to the State of Israel, and threaten the Middle East and the entire world.*

In the months preceding the offensive, joint and meticulous planning was carried out between the IDF and the US Army, which enabled the execution of the broad offensive in synchronization and maximum coordination between the armies. The IDF, across all its arrays, conducted a rigorous and long-term preparation process for the operation, both in defensive arrays and in various offensive plans.

The Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, and IDF commanders are currently conducting a situation assessment. Many IDF forces are prepared and deployed in forward defense and readiness for attack across all sectors and against any enemy.

The public must heed the Home Front Command's guidelines, which are updated from time to time - civilian resilience and adherence to the guidelines save lives and constitute a critical component in the success of the campaign.

The IDF will continue to act to thwart any threat forming against the citizens of the State of Israel anywhere and at any time. Even at this moment, the Air Force continues to strike across Iran based on precise intelligence. The operation will continue as long as required.

The US Army? Does he mean the US military?

Taking control of their nuclear sites perhaps. Would make sense, as there is not other way to confirm the site are no longer in some fanatical IRGC officer’s control. That is were the US [ spec ops troops ] could take the casualties 47 mentioned.

NO. US ARMY. Spec Ops likely being used to take control of specific nuclear sites.

We obtained the first known satellite image of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's compound in Tehran. There are several destroyed buildings. While the current whereabouts of Iran's supreme leader are unknown, the compound is generally used as his official residence. https://www.twz.com/news-features/iran-is-under-attack

A foreign military spokesman speaks for the U.S. Army.

Very clearly so - the United States military is following orders of a foreign government.

Keep your head on a swivel. Who knows how many countless Iranian agents the Valery Jarret administration, I mean Obama, let in and how many others walked right in with Chomo Joe. At the very least prepare for massive protests in the colleges, which will be fun to watch, but the Jews had better be weary on campus.

Thats undeniably true.

Oddly, Im not entirely convinced that this time is wrong even if Israel wins out as a side effect.

Its generally accepted that the CIA had a great deal to do with starting the problem we are dealing with today.

Finish this one once and for all correcting our error then tell the rest of them over there to piss off.

Nowhere does this statement indicate the the US military is taking orders from the Israelis.

Apparently you missed that.

Its crazy not only how accurate we are but the way we can keep the damage so focused. The vehicles next door dont even have scratched paint. Even most of the trees in the compound are not only upright but they still have their leaves.

From the article: "The IDF spokesperson announces that the IDF and the US Army have launched..."

When a foreign government spokesman announces it, but NOT a U.S. government spokesman, it's clear who's giving the orders.

So crazy that it's more likely from internal explosives. Can't give that away so let's run airstrikes as cover.

Nice deflection.

Where exactly did he say that Israel is giving orders to the US military?

He would never come out and say that. But the silence of the U.S. spokesman, due to them making no announcement, is deafening.
