Iran’s government is extremely nervous and has been engaging in urgent diplomatic efforts with countries in the Middle East to gauge whether they can reduce the scale of Israel’s response to its missile attack earlier this month and – if that fails – help protect Tehran, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

Iran’s anxiety stems from uncertainty about whether the US can convince Israel not to strike Iranian nuclear sites and oil facilities, and the fact that its most important proxy militia in the region, Hezbollah, has been significantly weakened ...

now to add to this, I'm seeing scuttlebutt out of India that Israel has launched a 'massive cyberattack' on Iran BUT no non-India source has published this info yet:

Iran-Israel news: ’Heavy cyberattacks’ hit nuclear facilities; pagers and walkie-talkies BANNED on Iranian flights... Firouzabadi, the ex-secretary of Iran's Supreme Council of Cyberspace, was quoted by Iran International as saying that three branches of Iran's government - the judiciary, the legislature and the executive branch – were “hit by heavy cyberattacks...cyberattacks also targeted nuclear facilities and other networks like fuel distribution, municipal networks, transportation networks, and ports. "These are just part of a long list of various areas across the country that have been attacked," the official was quoted as saying.

also, India Today video report:"Cyber attack targets Iran's nuclear infrastructure, communication network: Report There are reports claiming that Iran's nuclear infrastructure has come under a massive cyber attack amid the ongoing conflict with Israel. The country's Legislature, Judiciary and the Executive have also been subjected to a cyber attack."https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/cyber-attack-targets-iran-s-nuclear-infrastructure-communication-network-report/vi-AA1s91zu?ocid=BingNewsSerp>

Cyber attacks are good. They leave the hardware intact for when the mullahs are made dead.

The Iranian dirty mad mullah’s have some nerve after fostering war- like aggressions upon Israel for years and expecting to weasel out of consequences that hit home. Let their Alahu Akbar’s protect them from their karma.

I'd be nervous, too, if my capitol city was going to be transformed into a glass parking lot in the near future. Maybe they should have thought about that before launching 181 missiles at Israel.

Ever since Jimmy peanut brain Carter allowed the Ayatollah Khomeini and his worshippers to revolt against the Shaw who was an ally of America, Iran has been a despot terrorist regime... Funding America’s enemies and reeking havoc on Israel and other American allies in that region.

Why administration after administration over the las 45 years has allowed this regime to continue on, is beyond belief.

Or, as my Mom used to say, "If you can't take the rape, don't pull the jape."

I believe they overestimated how much power Biden has over Netanyahu.

For those interested, Yom Kippur in Jerusalem ends about 7:42 PM Israel time. That’s 12:42 PM Saturday (today) US Eastern time.

Iran let its alligator mouth over tip its hummingbird ass.

May they be well rewarded.

It would be a shame if they ahut down all of the cooling and ventilation systems to the Iranian underground nuke facilities. And then locked down the emergency systems and blasts doors so no one could get or out.

What are they worried about? Allah will protect them, and if things really go south then the 12th Imam will crawl forth from his well.
