Israel has launched what it called “preemptive strikes” against Iran and a state of emergency has been declared in Israel, according to the country’s Defense Minister Israel Katz. “Following the State of Israel’s preemptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future” Katz said in a statement. Iranian state media outlet IRNA reported repeated explosions could be heard in Tehran.

They will get it all. Our military assets are ready to go at a moments notice if Iran gets frogged in the gulf states. Also if they unveil a nuke getting loaded on a missile. Then all hell breaks loose.

The nuclear material for an atomic bomb can be placed in two coffee cans hidden in an area the size of Texas.

They don't have to find that. They just have to take out the Iranian leadership.

Immediate condition is unclear.

No signs of Iranian air defenses reacting. Could be the weapons used, especially the air launched ballistic missiles or they have wormed/hacked their integrated air defenses, or both. The latter is Israel’s specialty.

A federal judge will order Trump to give Iran back their nuke material.

Well I think we all knew it was coming. Hopefully Israel doesn’t have to absorb too much blowback. Its not the first time they’ve carried our water in the region.

The Iranian people, who consider themselves Persians and Zoroastrians, HATE the muslims.

Bears repeating!

Food for thought. Someone posted on another site that Trump had given Iran 60 days to negotiate on their Uranium enrichment; and the time ran out *yesterday*.

That’s been my assumption. But each blast door takes a huge charge to open it. How do you carry tons of explosive down defended tunnels, and blast open each door in succession?

I have no idea.


It would be difficult to pull off, that’s for sure. The only way would be to secure the area surrounding the tunnels (both air space and land space) long enough to land enough ordinance and army engineers to get the job done.

This is an amazing night into day. The only thing missing is Iranians turning weapons around and killing each other. Israel is roaring today.

Can satellites detect radioactive dust? If the Israelis damaged a high-speed centrifuge, that would send radioactive gas and dust everywhere. Even if it’s just a little higher than normal, that could indicate a good thing. Otherwise, we have to wait until it drifts over Pakistan or India, or maybe the Emirates to get ground or aircraft readings.

The only way to get to them might be to send commandos into the tunnels.

That scares me. I hope the planes can do the job.

Trump is stepping into the role of the Warhawk the world needs right now.

With unwavering support for Israel in this pivotal conflict, he’s making it clear: chaos will be met with strength, and aggression with resolve.

Law and Order isn’t just a slogan — it’s a declaration.

As Iran faces unimaginable pressure and precision strikes, Russia watches in stunned horror, realizing that their strategic alliances are crumbling under the weight of Western retaliation.
