Iran has launched an attack on Israel. Get he latest on the Iran attack on Israel in our LIVE breaking news coverage. In this interactive live stream host Steve Lookner brings you the latest updates on the Iranian attack on Israel and he’ll also read your comments and questions on the air!
I expect Israel will escalate and attack Iranian drone factories along with infrastructure in Iran to teach them a lesson. I would also expect Israel to target any vulnerable (not much) Iranian nuclear facilities.
The US has probably given Israel locations of drone factories that are helping Russia in its war with Ukraine. From a CIA perspective this will be a “two-fer.”
Better than a jerkoff Jew hater. Enjoy hell with your Nazi friends.
“What a nice day for World War III”
Good bumper sticker fodder. Would look nice next to a “Coexist” sticker.
Israel has never confirmed that they have nukes. But I imagine, as most prudent world leaders do, that they do have that capability. And have had them for quite some time.
Well, I’m just glad that Israel pulled out of the southern Gaza two days ago and quit being so mean to Hamas. Instead of Iran attacking with 100 drones it probably would have been much worse. /s
Good thing you weren’t around in WW2. In your mind fighting nazis wasn’t our business.
“so by the time they do arrive Israel will shoot them down”
The way attacks generally work is, a long-range weapon(s) is fired. When the weapon is within strike range, additional short-range weapons are fired to deplete the interceptors or jam the radars or just flood the defenses. I would expect that Hezbollah will launch a massive missile and drone strike at exactly the right moment. Several years ago, when I checked, Iron Dome missiles were $45k each. You have to wonder how many they have on hand.
Incidentally, I read years ago that Israel kept a sub on station in the Persian Gulf to retaliate if Iran strikes. I don’t recall if that is confirmed information or if it’s still accurate. The Persian Gulf is a bathtub for a sub. It would be hard to keep a diesel electric sub charged in such a confined, shallow place and Iran does have impressive strike capabilities in the Gulf. They are short range and mostly disposable. But they’d make survival difficult.
Possible scenario: Launch drones to distract, just as they are about to hit launch nuke missiles from a sub or boat offshore. It’s all fun and games until someone tosses a nuke.
“Iran unveils claimed hypersonic missile, says it is able to evade all air defenses
State TV says Fattah missile — ‘Conqueror’ in Persian — has a range of up to 1,400 kilometers; claims it can get past Iron Dome, which Israel would not use for long-range missiles”
You’re a right asshat. Guess you’ll change your mind when all those terrorists here start popping off.
No need to send more young people to their deaths.
The Biden WH has been making multiple requests to set up a call between Biden and the leader of Iran. They’ve been denied, per WH staffer

Good grief why aren’t you posting on the DUmp?
Quite possible!
“This time tomorrow, unless Israel scales back its response - the world will be very different.”

I would say that Israel‘s response is going to almost completely depend upon how much, and what else, Iran and its proxies send in Israel’s direction. Let’s not forget who started this entire mess, it was an Iranian proxy that came across the border into Israel, and barbarically murdered about 1200 people (including women, children, and infants) and took about 250 more hostage. They broke the then-existing cease fire, and the only reason there is still combat going on is because they refuse to hand back hostages and stop the hostilities that they started.
but=box..
Now if THAT happens then we know Iran means business cause sending a bunch of drones that will get shot down by Jordan and others isn’t really much of an attack since the drones take 9 hours to arrive, but Iran has missiles that can arrive in Israel in 12 minutes
Yes...you are correct...supposedly the Shaheed 136 Iranian drones fly at about 115 mph. My incredulity was based on the fact that it would appear idiotic to send such a slow moving target in an attack...by contrast the German v-1 flew at 400 mph...so something else must be afoot...or the mullahs really got their brains in their shorts...
You’re not an American by birth, or do you just fellate British culture?
“Right asshat”
I have served my country and have stated our border was the number one issue for decades.
Enjoy your best Ally ever. Everything coming is their doing.
