I wonder how much Iranian drone technology is from the one Hussein Osama gave them?

Israel has threatened Iran with a massive earthquake. I’m not sure what that means.

Wondering if the drones even carried ordnance.

My wife was talking about the July 2006 Hamas rockets on Tel Aviv that got her caught in the outside residential door security cage for four hours until our neighbors came home.

Time to settle old scores.

In 1970s, Iranians wanted freedom from a very oppressive Shah. Many Iranians didn’t realize what they were getting. They believed the ‘taqiyya’ presented by the regime.

Now, there is much hatred and distrust of the mohamedan regime and many younger people are turning to Jesus and also to Zoroastrianism, as they are so fed up with mohamedanism.

Given the right circumstances, they could revolt. Just look at Romania in 1989. If the IDF attack enough of the IRGC buildings and ‘cut off the head’ of the Iranian regime, a revolution may occur. One can hope and pray for such an event.

In any even, we need to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

"Did Iran hit an Israeli Embassy?"

**********************************************

No, Israel hit the Iranian embassy in Syria last week and killed several Iranians. This stuff today is their response to that attack on the Iranian embassy.

Is that how Iran defines a "proportional response?" An understanding of that concept should help configure an appropriate retaliatory response against the government of Iran.

Don’t doubt that the Iranians have chemical and biological ordnance. I don’t think the mass destruction line should be crossed by either side.

Iran severely underestimated Israel’s air defense capabilities and now the Ayatollah Khamenei is mad at the IRGC.

Popcorn time.

Well maybe Iran shouldn't have financed Hamas’ butchery on October 7, 2023. What did Iran think Israel would do? Israel isn't going to stop until Iran's war machine is crippled. That would include Iran's Embassies, Hamas, Hezbollah etc..

They were Iranian Generals, not your run of the mill embassy clerical staffers.

Israel is ‘playing for keeps’. I’m not sure the Iranians are ready to do that.... yet.
