[Has Israel figured out how to cause earthquakes?]

A book I read once said that a guy named Joshua did it once with a marching band but it took almost a week.

LOL.. Excellent answer.

I’m going to go back and read Revelation in light of the future “drone wars.”

I have stated for thirty years that WWIII will start when Iran attacks Israel with the help of Russia. Then the sheet hits the fan.

China will step in and offer peace, but it will be a false peace. i.e. communism

Could it be the Ukraine/USA doing this? Turkey?

Tomahawk are autonomous drones. Not all drones have some kid with a joystick flying them, subject to communications channel jamming. When they say “drone” they may mean autonomous airframes. If the Iranians begin jamming GPS around potential targets, they were probably GPS guided drones.

Maybe it’s the US that will be the great deceiver.

Akhwazi in Khuzestan? They’re in range, and G-d knows they’ve got 100 years of provocation.

Might also be the Baluchi.

This source makes a good case it’s Israel, using small drones.

Pretty good range for a “tiny” drone to get to Isfahan, if launched outside Iran, though.

Oh, heck, I had a buddy who worked with precision guidance using onboard (the missile, then) terrain and target recognition, back before GPS was even fully up. Only now the “brain” is 100x smaller (if not more), and a lot smarter. Almost might as well have the kid IN the drone, except the real time “human” element in “final commit, or abort” is not present, much like GPS-only drones nearing a target. (And, you don’t lose the kid, of course!)

I was wondering how the Israelis would do terrain mapping over Iran. I suppose they could use satellite cameras or SAR (radar). But drone does not mean a quadcopter with a radio link. They could also use a cargo plane to deploy them. Most drones have relatively short range. I wonder if they released them from Iraqi or Saudi airspace. Iran has made enough enemies.

There are indigenous minorities in Iran who have good reason to hate the present regime, and Mossad may well have recruited them and supplied them with drones. Thus, range is not an issue. The Akhwazi and the Baluchi are right in the neighborhood, as are Kurds if they do a bit of traveling. Probably the Lors are no great lovers of Tehran, either. They’re nomads, and probably have all sorts of reasons to be p!ssed. By no means an exhaustive list, and then there are the plain old Iranians, who are sick of being lorded over by corrupt shmucks in cleric robes. And with a bit of help from Mossad, any one of these numerous groups can launch a drone or 100.

The Kurds in Iran wouldn’t go out on a limb for the Israelis or the Americans. They have seen their ethnic kin in Syria,Turkey and Iraq stabbed in the back by duplicitous American regimes.

My money’s on the Ahwazi. Their oil fields were stolen, their leader kidnapped and then murdered, and they’ve been oppressed, persecuted and driven out of their homeland for about 100 years. What do they have to lose? So they might just be up to a partnership with Israel, while the Iranians are on the ropes with civil unrest and sanctions. If these are the drones that Putin’s been using to terrorize civilians in Ukraine, it might have also been a tip of the hat to Zelensky.
