Iran launched a significant drone attack on Israel on Saturday, which is expected to take hours to reach its targets, as reported by Israel's military and confirmed by Iranian state media quoting Iran's revolutionary guards. Iran's Revolutionary Guards have stated that Operation 'True Promise' is a response to Israeli actions and is part of their strategy to punish Israel for its perceived crimes.
According to a report by Israel's Channel 12 TV, Iran has also launched cruise missiles at Israel, with a shorter flight time than a drone.
According to two regional security sources, Jordan has positioned its air defences to intercept and destroy any Iranian drones or aircraft that breach its airspace. These sources further indicated that the army is on high alert, with radar systems actively monitoring drone movements. Jordan has also declared a state of emergency in the country.
In response to escalating tensions with Iran and the closure of Israel's airspace as a precautionary measure, El Al Airlines has announced the cancellation of 15 flights scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. The affected destinations include Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Milan, Bucharest, Sofia, Athens, Dubai, and Moscow, as stated by El Al in their announcement.
Syria is also on issued an alert and has placed its Russian-made Pantsir ground-to-air defence systems on high alert around the capital and major bases, according to army sources.
According to two security sources in Iraq, numerous drones were observed departing from Iran towards Israel via Iraqi airspace. Iranian Press TV described these actions as "extensive drone strikes" conducted by the Revolutionary Guards.
Iran's actions come in response to what it perceives as an Israeli attack on its Damascus consulate on April 1, resulting in the deaths of seven Revolutionary Guards officers, including two senior commanders. Israel has neither confirmed nor denied its involvement in the incident.
U.S. President Joe Biden, having previously cautioned Iran against attacking Israel, reiterated his commitment to stand with Israel in the face of Iranian aggression, according to statements from the White House.
So, how much of this attack is funded by money that the Biden admin released to Iran?
How far ahead of actual striking landfall of enemy missiles is Israel cautioned to take shelter? An hour? 10 minutes?
Be safe!
This is super duper convenient!
No matter what has happened or will happen-
it is the US and Israel’s fault.
Freerolling 101.
.
And the Iraqi's don't mind them flying to Israel via their airspace?
I’ll pray for you brother Freeper!! (or sister- whichever may apply)
This is a great time to take out as much of Iranian nuke capabilities as possible
And Iraq is ok with Iran violating its air space.
If it kills me, I’ll post about it.
Questions or Dronologists here.
Do drones fly in a straight line can the route be changed, are they directed from the ground after they are launched.?
During the Obama reign of terror I believe Iran shotdown two US drones. Have they reverse engineered them and built their own or do they get them from Russia, China etc,
What fire power do drones carry?
remember rockets have been shot on US assets in Iraq from within Iraq
I have supported war against Iran since 1979 Anytime is good with me as long as it’s before they have working bomb or when they attack US asset,
Any word from the “death to america” crowd in Dearbornistan?
We all pray you and family are safe, Jaysin.
And I think It would not have.
But... we have Biden.
I think Iraq is a country only in a political map.
They’re probably cheering like some folks were in the Middle East after 9-11.
Iran is finding that it’s only friends are N. Korea, Syria and Russia. However, Russia is concerned more about their proxy state of Syria than Iran. Iran has a dozen proxies like Hezbollah, Party of God, Hamas, ISIS-iran, Al Quadea-iran, Muzzie Brotherhood, etc.
If Blinken was worth a damn, he would trade Ukraine for Iran in a realignment of the map.
I left the State Department after Obama in 2012, and it was a homosexual CIA heaven for the Woke - is it any wonder no actual diplomacy is ever accomplished with regards to long term security or non-corrupt economic initiatives?
i expect something
If true, that means Lebanon is going to get the military grid-square radiation coverage to make lands uninhabitable for a hundred years. Iran and Damascas may also get some of that.
In 2005 I was at an Arrow Field Office Conference in Tel Aviv and spoke a IDF officer who took me into a room and showed me some war maps. Some sets were for Gaza to carve it up above and below ground one grid at a time with engineers cutting roads across it.
Another map was for Iran. Another for Syria.
The really interesting one was the entire Arab Muslim Middle East and Pacific. It was about “cutting the blood lines” and making all their lands uninhabitable for all time. The final part of the cutting the bloodlines is hunting down all the muslims around the world in different countries by pre-designated teams of Jewish soldiers who are sent around the world to all the different Jewish communites around the world to protect their people. Israel is dead serious.
I think we are going to see a series of 5 kt tactical nukes hit Hezbollah wiping them out in Lebanon. We may see several 5 kt’ers hit Iranian targets in Syria too. But the real one is the big boys that will wipe out all the major cities in Iran and all energy/water grid, and military.
Israel is a small country.
