BiBi says you’re wrong. Natanz Nuclear Facility is under attack.

“Pre-emptive strike” means they think or know Iran was about to hit Israel tonight. Couldn’t wait.

After October 7, 2023, the Israelis are not taking chances.

“Oil Futures up right now $4 a barrel
Dow Futures already down about -550 right now.

Now what is Trump going to do?”

Not get all wee wee up like you I would guess.

Well that’s going to surely stir up the crazies at the mostly peaceful protests this weekend/sarc.

“I don’t understand why Iran (and world) was given a heads up on this attack.”

To explain that there is nothing Iran can do about it

Finally it’s happening !
We have talked about this Iran nuclear problem for years...
Israel is fighting for us all now !
I presume America is secretly helping out. Good.

President Trump has been requesting or signalling that now is the time for the IDF to step up to this task. He also has said (somewhat confusingly in my personal opinion, but I am not privy to the inside information so cannot know) that this may even help with his negotiations.

USAF will certainly be covering and almost as certainly participating (this will hold down the level of the necessary incident collateral damage).

From all that I’ve read, the Iranian nuclear threat can be eliminated in under 24 hours with a well-coordinated aerial effort. And with no boots on the ground.

Hoping this all works accordingly. Certainly the pilots know what they’re doing, there are some of the world’s best experts in the crews. And obviously The entire world is pretty much sick and tired of all the threats and terrorism eminating from the Iranian dictatorship. The mullahs are not only pure evil, they’re crazy as loons. A very bad combination indeed. It has to be terminated if there’s ever to be any genuine peace

Your #74 is right on. Let’s hope the Iranians over throw the mullahs.

Iran will never agree to ANY kind of peace with Israel. They have been shouting “Death to Israel” for decades, and the Mullahs will never change. It’s a takkiyah thing.

“I think the heads up was the US evacuating people from Iraqi and surrounding countries embassies last night our time. “

If everyone knew, the why were the markets up m today and only down one the attack was launched?
