Iran now feels it can launch ballistic missiles at Israel whenever it wants. Israel carried out long-awaited airstrikes on Iran, on Friday night, on precise and targeted military targets. These were aimed at “thwarting immediate threats to the State of Israel,” the IDF said.

Despite the much-anticipated attack, Israel reported they finished the attack before the sun rose in Tehran.

^^^ This. The Iranians didn’t put up any air defenses because the never saw them.

This has the feel of coordination, staged for public consumption - sort of like that first wave of drone strikes from Iran that slowly crossed the skies and were easily taken out by the US and Israel.

All the air space over Iran was temporarily cleared of commercial traffic in advance and apparently not much anti-air activity from Iran, to include a complete absence of aero "dogfights" between Iranian and Israeli jets.

You'd think that even if the Israelis took out all radar and defense systems in one second, the Iranians would send at least one plane up.

Maybe just not enough info in at this time.

From Amir Tsarfati’s Telegram account:

“Looks like Israel’s attack was a “preparation”:

📡 Destroyed air defense en route to Iran in Syria & Iraq

📡 Destroyed radars of S-300 & S-400 air defense in Iran

Now that Iran’s air defense is fully blinded, Israel can freely attack its nuclear facilities.

(Dr. Eli David on X)”

and.......

“Vertical Planetary Batch Mixer, essential for manufacturing of solid rocket fuel. 20 of those were destroyed last night in various locations in Iran.”

Apparently Bibi’s bent over yet again. A well- stated essentially- worthless “show of force” — which everyone knows Israel has— without inflicting any meaningful damage. And especially no damage to the Iranian dictators’ nuclear bomb and ICBM factories. All to the Biden regime’s specifications to preserve and protect the Iranian dictators’ nuclear threat (very dangerous especially to America, the Iranians’ announced first target, this is what all the ICBM’s are for, after all).

IMHO, the IDF may as well have stayed home. Rather than bothering to humor the evil Biden/Harris regime acting out this little, useless cameo role in this WashingtonDC theatrical farce of a stage play.

Was attack by planes? or drones and missiles? If by planes did they get refueled by US tankers?

The Israelis just showed the Iranians, “anytime and any place” of OUR choosing.

Unless the leadership is HOWLING, then there was no great loss.

I’m thinking of one of the final scenes from “Band of Brothers” when the soldier screams at the Germans marching to retreat “Say hello to Ford! Say hello to General fucking Motors!” “Look at you! You have horses! What were you thinking?!”

The great minds of the Muslims (doncha know they invented the “zero” and everything else) are sitting there trying to decide if they want to use a cell phone, turn on the television or even look out the window.....F#@k them.

When you can look from Syria to the Indian border and down past Central Africa and not one building is left standing then the Israelis can take a breather till the next mullah or islamic a@@hole starts yapping. For all I care, they can start with the Ivy League schools as well.

Iran, Syria, Hezbollah are not the threat we’ve been told for decades. Israel hits any location in any country in the middle east with Impunity. I wouldn’t support giving them any weapons, any further military aid and certainly no money. They are completely in the drivers seat so it would be nice to hear everyone pipe down about existential threats. All the countries mentioned are more threatened by Israel than vis versa. I recommend a trade agreement between all countries so each can benefit from the others success. Is this a controversial view?

According to what's reported in the Times of Israel:

"IAF aircraft, including fighter jets, refuelers and spy planes, participated"

You sound like you’re on the wrong side of Israel.

The Israeli Air Force got through and returned
The Iranian air force got off the ground only to prevent being destroyed
Probe successful
Score for the Israelis

Not true. One livestream linked here yesterday demonstrated prolific/normal commercial air traffic. Can't recall which website was displayed.

Utter nonsense. Israel can clearly defend themselves. It’s up to them if they want to be perpetually at war with surrounding countries. It’s not clear to me why a country on the otherside of the world should be on the hook for funding all of this. Maybe you can explain that to me.
