Dunno - that’s a long trip for a fighter jet but they obviously can do it (see April, 2024)

It will be interesting as we get more details.

There’s no way they informed President Harris beforehand about an airstrike inside Iran IMO

Especially after her presser after meeting Bibi the other day

A big FU to her

Being a fan of conspiracies, IMHO its possible that the Iranians did it themselves (while blaming Israel). I’m getting vibes that Iran wants to de-escalate.

I remember Qatar stating in no uncertain terms to not evwn think of whacking Hamas leaders on our soil. I thought the head honcho waa still there safe and sound. US is in bed with Qatar and Dubai so Israel has to be more careful with them than screwing around in places like Iran. If they did kick them out, where else could they go and be safe?

People on other FR threads are idolizing Mossad crediting them for the assasination of this fiend. Yet it is important to note that if this was the Hamas man in Iran, Mossad failed in its primary mission. Through most of 2023 Iran planned the October 7th attack. It funneled weapons, missiles and trained personnel into Gaza through Egypt. The planning and administrative center was in Tehran. How did Mossad, with its legendary apparatus in Iran fail to detect this plot, interdict or at least note the flow of arms, kill key leaders of Hamas in Iran long before October 7 and advise the Israeli military and Netanyahu about what was happening? There are those who claim that Mossad is controlled by anti Netanyahu people who wanted to “embarrass” the Israeli Prime Minister and destroy his support. Not sure of that scenario but whatever the reason for the big intelligence failure, Mossad has much to explain. Over 1300 Israeli civilians and soldiers were killed and many more wounded physically and emotionally due to this intelligence failure.

Could have been a ground raid similar to SEALS taking out UBL. But that would be a huge embarrassment to Iran, so they and Hamas may be falsely saying it was an airstrike (no images of the site released yet).
