The U.S. attack on Iran is another ripple effect from Hamas’s attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The more time that goes by, the more significant 10/7 looms. It is one of those hinge points in history — like 11/9 (the day the Berlin Wall fell in 1989) or the 9/11 terrorist attack in the United States — after which nothing will ever be the same again.
In launching its barbaric assault on Israel, the Iranian-backed Hamas wanted to draw its regional partners into a broader war that, it hoped, would lead to the destruction of the Jewish state. But instead of destroying Israel, Hamas set in motion a train of events that resulted in the destruction of Iranian power across the region. In the more than 600 days since, much of Gaza has been razed and more than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed (according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry). Hamas, though it still exists, is a shadow of its former self. Yahya Sinwar, the architect of 10/7, is dead, along with his brother, and most of Hamas’s commanders.
The Iranian-backed Hezbollah, while it did not join in the initial assault on Israel, followed up by rocketing northern Israel for many months. Last fall, Israel struck back with an offensive against Hezbollah that began with the “exploding pagers” operation. Now, its longtime leader, Hasan Nasrallah, is also dead, along with most of its senior commanders. Its military infrastructure has been decimated and its ability to exert power in Lebanon considerably diminished. Hezbollah missiles no longer pose a significant threat to Israel. With Hezbollah essentially defeated, another Iranian client, Bashar al-Assad, was toppled by rebels in Syria late last year. Now, Syria is ruled by a Sunni government with no love lost for the Shiite...

Thank you very much and God bless you.
They chose.....poorly.
Bunch of a-holes on hang gliders, sticking babies into microwave ovens. Yeah, that'll cause a general uprising of all the i-states. Great thinking, right in line with historic norms.
Obama has to be weeping profusely...
Everything that the Kenyan communist stood for has been largely undone...
They’re Muslims, that’s all they know. They’re a cancer like liberals who are now supporting Iran’s sovereignty and protesting Israel and the US for attacking Iran.
Until ever last one is exterminated then nothing changes.
You did NOTHING neo- con slink away in shame.
Well to be fair to a primitive military BrainTrust, Iran did launch, in our general direction, 14 bottle rockets in reply to our 14 well-positioned 14 sticks of dynamite
We may think it quaint, but seven-fold was signed, sealed, and will be eventually delivered in toto by the Israeli War Cabinet after the 10/7 massacre.
We flew 7 bombers 18 hours undetected by Russian and China.
Yes, they are freaking out.
Oh yeah, no one reads or cares about what Max has to say…
Would you like fries with your crow Mister Boot?
We are gradually eliminating radical islam in the middle east.
Now for America. Kick the non-citizen sand nazis out. Go full El Salvo on them.
Max Boot, this clown again? Reminds me of “Das Boot” movie, only this clown needs a kick with a BIG boot; he is everywhere for the sake of me, me, me, me, notice me....
Israel issued evacuation order for part of Tehran in last half-hour.
“Now, Syria is ruled by a Sunni government with no love lost for the Shiite...”
Apparently with no love lost for the Christians over there either who have been getting slaughtered along with the Alawites.
Syria: Suicide bombing at Orthodox Church in Damascus

Agree.
When I find myself accidentally agreeing with Max Freaking Boot on anything, I double check my body parts to make sure I don’t have an extra arm sticking out of my forehead.
On the other hand, I DID something. Me and a few million others pulled out weight and WON, insofar as anything in the Middle East is won for any length of time.
I’m smelling the VICTORY and it is sweet, today.
Tomorrow, well, islam will plot its next move and we’ll all be scrambling again.
The further you read the further lil’ Max strays from the headline. But but but, what about.......??????
What a pathetic soul he is.
Obama has to be weeping profusely...

Yep, Obama is throwing a temper tantrum and kicking his feet on the floor. The POS is extremely mad. He smells his own sulfur.
"Even while talking with the United States, moreover, the Iranians kept enriching uranium to near-weapons-grade levels, raising alarms in Jerusalem. They thought they could get away with it. They were wrong. Now, their major nuclear complexes — developed at vast cost over many decades — have been hit and hit hard."
Damn Max. They didn't "think they could get away with it", they feared what would happen to each of them and their extended families if they didn't continue enrichment/missle guidance/what have you.
That's just plain human fear. I give the mooseslimes that much grace and no more.
