The Ayatoilet’s home apparently got struck. A bunch of Iranians cheered that one.

Also Operation Lion’s Roar in Israel. Finally we can undo Carter and Obama’s follies in this area. Hopefully the Iranian people will rise up and take care of business after we clear the way. We don’t need to do any nation building.

From NBC 3:42 AM EST ‘The time to return to the streets is near': Reza Pahlavi tells Iranians to reclaim the country Avatar Marlene Lenthang

Reza Pahlavi, the U.S.-based son of Iran’s shah deposed in the 1979 Islamic Revolution, has urged Iranians to reclaim the nation.

“Moments of destiny lie ahead of us,” he wrote on X. “This is a humanitarian intervention; and its target is the Islamic Republic, its repressive apparatus, and its machinery of slaughter—not the country and great nation of Iran.”

“But, even with the arrival of this aid, the final victory will still be forged by our hands. It is we, the people of Iran, who will finish the job in this final battle. The time to return to the streets is near,” he continued.

He urged Iranians to stay home and safe amid the strikes, until the time is right.

“Stay vigilant and ready so that, at the appropriate time—which I will announce to you precisely—you can return to the streets for the final action,” he wrote.

If he tries to run, put him down. I hope the people get him and get their just due.

I don’t think Trump will “Bay of Pigs” this. We will probably take some casualties, I hope not, but when you ship out, you’re I harms way. Godspeed to our Military folks been there. Prayers up.

Key targets hit in recent operations include:

Nuclear Facilities: The Fordow Uranium Enrichment Plant, Natanz Nuclear Facility, and Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center were targeted, with reports of significant damage to centrifuges.

Political/Leadership Targets: Strikes occurred in Tehran’s Pasteur district, targeting areas near the residence of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Military/Intelligence Infrastructure: The Iranian Intelligence Ministry, the judiciary, and various military chain-of-command locations were hit.

Geographical Locations: Explosions were reported in Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Karaj, and Kermanshah.

I assume that most of Iran's Sam and radar sites have been taken out as well as most communication facilities. But that is just speculation on my part. I noticed that Trump also stated that we would obliterate their navy. Maybe the fleet is visiting the 1987 fleet or will be soon. I would not want to be anywhere near an IRGC base right now.

I hope this doesn’t create backlash: the mullahs for sure to use this attack to unify the country.

Iran has fired a few missiles towards Israel and Some US bases in the region but no reports of any strikes or damage yet. The numbers reported seem remarkably small.

Bahrain: The headquarters of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet in

Jufair was targeted by a missile attack. Multiple explosions were reported in the area.

Qatar: Missiles were launched toward U.S. assets; the Qatari Defense Ministry reported that its Patriot defense systems intercepted several incoming projectiles.

Jordan &

Kuwait: U.S. bases in Jordan were reportedly targeted, and loud explosions were heard near U.S. military presences in Kuwait.

And, of course, Israel.
Based on reports for February 28, 2026, there are no confirmed reports of Iranian missiles or drones successfully hitting important targets inside Israel as part of a retaliatory strike.
