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.

Wow already. Maybe if they take out enough of those scumbags they won’t have to worry about the nukes. I know the Iranian people want freedom
I think the world is starting to realize USA tech is way too expensive.
McCain laughing in hell as he is being tortured.
Israel has several locally designed and made anti-missile systems, iirc.
Patriots aren’t even a big part of the mix.
Will double check that.
If you were looking for an axis you may very well find one in Russia/China despite nervous denials that they could never trust each other. The hard facts are they both see the west as a threat and they both have toys comparable to ours. And what the west has been doing other countries have been observing and while they may seem pro west on the surface, you won’t have to scratch deep to find an anti American; after all who likes being bullied?

Ali Shamkhani, Senior Advisor to Iranian Supreme-Leader Ali Khamenei and member of the Expediency Discernment Council, has now died, following reports earlier that he had been “critically injured” by an Israeli airstrike last night on his home in the Iranian capital of Tehran.
“Israel’s anti-missile systems are a mix of locally designed and jointly developed technologies, with Iron Dome (10 batteries, short-range), David’s Sling (~2+ batteries, medium-range), and Arrow 2/3 (multiple batteries, long-range) forming the core layers. SPYDER and Iron Beam (future) are fully Israeli, while THAAD and Patriot are U.S.-acquired. Iron Dome, designed by Rafael and IAI, is the most active, with U.S. support for components. David’s Sling and Arrow systems involve U.S. co-development but are primarily produced in Israel. THAAD’s temporary deployment highlights occasional reliance on U.S. systems. Israel’s defense industry ensures significant local control, bolstered by U.S. funding and collaboration.” - Grok

Reports that a large number of Iranian air-defense operators abandoned their posts last night, following the initial few waves of strikes by Israel.
I don't blame them a bit.
The Israelis bought a bunch of bunker busters from us, used some in Gaza as a test... and still have some more:
They’re dropped from Israeli F-15I jets, which Israel has more than a couple of.
And we shipped them a bunch more bunker busters a couple months back...
Well, I guess only time will tell how this reverberates both among the west and among Islam. I think this particular action will have unintended consequences.
“ you won’t have to scratch deep to find an anti American; after all who likes being bullied?”
I think we found one right here (I mean you).
It’s true. God is in control and he’s with us always.
Consider the story of Peter, he was stoned to death, but didn’t suffer or feel a thing. All he saw was God with him.
I’ve seen it in my line of work too. People are dying and should be in excruciating pain, but they feel nothing…..even have seen them smiling.
I was myself in a horrible car wreck…..punctured lungs, fractures, etc.
I remember having zero pain, only saw myself from somewhere up above and had no heart beat, God was talking to me the whole time and even told me I wasn’t going to heaven yet.
God can remove people from suffering.
Anti American? I’m sure anti the Government doing whatever it wants. Politicians don’t even feel the need to make a case for war. Doesn’t that tell you something.
I hope you're right. They missed October 7th.
I'm sure he will handle his job well. It wasn't Trump who let Iran move forward with their nuclear program.
The Mullah's are never the ones who pay a price for the violence they've pushed on the rest of the world.
I wonder to what extent Israel will go in their destruction of Iran’s nuclear program. Is it possible they have agents within Iran’s network who will attempt to destroy the program from within? Such an attempt would likely mean the sacrifice of those individuals, that they know they are on a mission of which they won’t survive.
