The attack, attributed to Israel, eliminated Sayyed Reza Mousavi, a key figure responsible for Iranian forces in Syria.

Israeli television is reporting the same story and attributing the strike to Israel.

Iran has threatened to close the Persian Gulf to shipping if the United States continues support to Israel’s attack on Gaza. They have Biden’s number.

the Mossad can locate a top commander in syria, but takes 6 hours to respond to a invasion.........Some top commanders in Israel should be in prison.

They are testing him, and could be underestimating him. If he was willing to go to war by proxy with Russia, he may be willing to go to war by proxy with Iran.

The mossad doesnt guard the border against gaza. That was a failure of the IDF and it’s incompetant leadership.

The U.S. could easily inflict substantial pain on Iran with drones, but at some cost. We could, for instance, destroy electrical transmission facilities, and key oil infrastructure. Iran might try to retaliated, but has only very limited ability to attack U.S. interests and personnel directly.

Both the Saudis and the Israelis would love to see a U.S.-Iran war. Egypt less so because of the impact on their own population. Most Arabs distrust and fear Iran, but they distrust and fear the United States as well. The difference being is that they know if they leave the United States alone, the United States will leave them alone.

VERY different organizations. The IDF is rife with politics. And also, several high level commanders were drunk on Simchas Torah (biggest Jewish drinking day of the year) when the attack began.

Some of the rats escaped the trap? Still a big win.
