Iranian state media outlet IRNA reported repeated explosions could be heard in Tehran.

IDF Special Forces will take out those buried sites…from the inside of them. They will seal them from the surface, then when they have control blow them from deep inside. You dont take out facilities like that with missiles or bombs.

“...Their nuclear facilities are at least 500 meters underground in rock....”
-
Underground sites have entrances, air supply, and power sources.
Take those out and the underground facilities become graves.

As much as I am for Gods’ People, I think this is a big mistake on the part of Israel. This will give the antisemitic in power exactly the excuse they need to act against Israel.

Sorry, I disagree. They have had too much time to fortify these type of facilities against about anything that we have including a nuclear bomb.

The only way you could be sure would be put Boots on the ground and you better have about 300,000 troops to go in with Support and guess what we don’t have that capability any longer.

“No signs of Iranian air defenses reacting.”

there aren’t any: israel obliterated syria’s air defense when syria fell, said air defense being a critical part of the iranian early warning system ... some of iran’s air defense was taken out at the time as well ... current reports say that iraeli commandos in iran have taken out much of the remaining air defense ... looks like iran is completely blind as to what is falling on them from the sky or where it’s coming from

USA-FRANCE:
“Patriot-missiles are being used by Isreal-Ukrainian forces against the IRAN-Russia-North Korea Alliance.”

rottweiller_inc:
“So you say. And trying to make those into some kind of pseudo ww2 style axis of evil reference for propaganda purposes is not cool. There’s no proof of such an alliance.”

USA-FRANCE:
IRAN-Russia-North Korea is de facto aligned in an epic display of intense full-blown and absolute collaboration.
An “alliance” or an “axis”. It’s the same.

North Korea–Russia Defense Pact: In June 2024, North Korea and Russia signed a Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, committing to mutual defense and cooperation in various sectors, including military and security.
ALSO: North Korea sent over 15.000 troops to help failing Russian troops in its war against Ukraine.

Iran–Russia Strategic Partnership: In January 2025, Iran and Russia signed a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership treaty, focusing on defense, counterterrorism, energy, nuclear, finance, and cultural exchanges.

Military Support to Russia: North Korea has supplied Russia with millions of rounds of artillery and ballistic missiles, while Iran has provided drones and ballistic missiles, including Fateh-110 variants.

Shared Opposition to Western Influence: These nations collectively oppose Western values and have coordinated efforts to challenge U.S. influence.

IMPORTANT:
Mossad-Kyiv Cooperation: Ukrainian and Israeli intelligence agencies, including Mossad, have initiated collaborative efforts. This partnership involves the exchange of strategic intelligence and anti-drone technology, leveraging each country’s expertise to counter mutual adversaries such as Russia and Iran.

The antisemitic in power have been doing their best to hobble, chain, restrict, isolate and destroy Israel for going on 60 years... At what point do you stop bowing to those who would eagerly chop your head off?

Funny you mention that.. That’s what happens to the people who refuse the mark of the beast.

Russian and Chicoms are Iran allies.

Both have contributed to Iran’s Nuke program.

It’s very possible Chicom and or Russian scientists or advisors are casualties in these strikes.

bunker busters are not difficult to build: start with a cannon tube as heavy as you have a plane that can carry it, fill full of high explosive, put a fuze on the pointy end, and slap fins on the tail end, and voila: bunker buster [that’s how the USA built there’s]

Both the leader of the Iranian Armed Forces and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were killed during last night’s strikes by Israel, this is beyond militarily crippling for Iran.

“God is in control.”

I always hear that and then ask, was God in control when Hitler killed 6 million Jews, Stalin starved ten million Russians, or Mao purged 20 million Chinese?

I agree completely. It’s the the same reason I think the home survival bunker craze is foolish. If you’re going to use it as a tornado shelter, fine, but if you think it’s going to protect you from roving bands of crazies during a SHTF scenario, just remember: All it takes to force you out of your underground “stronghold” is a simple plastic bag over the air intake. Or worse, gasoline poured down the air intake followed by a match.

Being underground makes you very vulnerable. You’re just an immobile target with multiple weak points.

“Who do you think the world would rather give such scarce resources to?”

who cares what the world thinks: patriot missiles are a USA weapon manufactured in the USA, and the USA will determine who gets them ...

“couldn’t iran just buy some bombs from someone else?”

iran doesn’t have any planes that can deliver bombs, that’s why they shoot missiles at everything ...
