Yeah.

He’s good at posting news and quite legitimate things so he camouflages himself.

I say he when there’s no reason to believe it’s just one person.

Like they did against 'the Jewish entity'?

I seem to recall their 'massive retaliation' being stopped by 'Iron Dome'.

Perhaps what the USAF should be doing, is dropping FP-45 Liberator guns all over Iran! The people DON'T LIKE the religious dictators, nor their 'protectors', the IRGC. Perhaps something like that, would hasten the Iranian peoples' freedom!

Iran showed how easy it is to deplete an expensive ABM system by overwhelming it with cheap drones. Bankrupting them with an arms race, like we did to the USSR.

I have heard that the new Syrian armed forces have moved in Lebanon, taking territory (no idea if they intend to keep it) and attacking Hezbullah. Lebanese government troops reportedly fighting back.

Meanwhile Iranian leaders are in hiding. Iranian New Year is Thursday I think (spring equinox).

We’re not likely going to invade. Trump doesn’t want to get bogged down like that. If we strike we’ll hit nuclear and military infrastructure from air and sea, avoiding civilians as much as possible. B2 bombers likely to be used because they can carry the 20k and 30k pound bombs needed to take out deep mountainside bunkers.

When you ignore terrorists, they take it as a sign of weakness, and become emboldened. Iran is a terrorist nation, and funds these Houthi terrorists attacking U.S. warships and merchant vessels. It’s time they realize the price for doing so.

That was Round 1; Israel prevailed.

Round 2 will be a bitch for Iran, if they are stupid enough to bring it on.

And they might be... 12th Imam and all...

If so, Israel will again prevail.

“(Iran can and will hit back hard if we continue to attack them.)
In what way?”

Well, in the last 4 years around 20 million illegals from all over the world entered the USA. That’s a starting place for them likely.

This is the same ship that is doing the targeting for the Houthis. I am surprised it took them this long.

Turn that whole part of the world into a glass parking lot and we would be better off.

Amen to that brother. It just keeps on building. Some days a little, some days A LOT (or so it seems)

Faith in twitter to break a story like this is misplaced.

Yep. We are blessed to be alive in this exciting time! Revival and restoration are prominent features of the runup to the Day of the LORD. :-)

Yeah - some facilities are deep and DEFINITELY spread out - this is from long ago, of course - but much is still accurate AFAIK

Iran is a HUGE country and with many sites spread out all over the country.

And it's pretty much at max range even for F-15I's.

So you're talking sub strikes from the Persian Gulf to hit even a few sites with a few more sites bombed.

Hardspunned is one of the more vocal members of the FR anti-semite caucus.

He hates jews but LOVES posting about anything Israel related, especially if he can spin it to make Israel look bad

Israel did that over 30 years ago (roughly) sending drones towards the (Beqaa) Bekaa Valley in Syria (on recon missions) - The Syrians got all excited and fired off some of their best SAM systems

Turned into a strategy - for many though

They became pretty docile after we sunk their navy the last time.

I think you would find the movie Patton informative.
