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.

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

russia had been iran’s chief arms supplier, but russia is pretty much out of everything right now due to their ukrainian war ... and ironically, russia’s weapons cupboards are so bare russia had been reduced to buying drones and missiles FROM iran! ... but that’s all over with now that israel has targeted iran’s missile and drone factories ...

Here is some tradecraft and technology that could do it.

1. Identify the person Xs dentist and recruit them to join your side (bribe, blackmail, honey-trap whatever).

2. When person X has their next dental visit have the dentist tell them have a small cavity and they will need minor dental work.

3. While doing the dental work the dentist installs a small transmitter/receiver.

4. Spies on the ground then track the individual on a routine basis.

5. On the key day have a drone smuggled into the city crash through a window and explode at the exact location of X.

“Reports that a large number of Iranian air-defense operators abandoned their posts last night, following the initial few waves of strikes by Israel.”

interesting but not surprising given a combination of aerial targeting and targeting by israeli commandos on the ground ...

They most likely can, but those have to be delivered and with Mossad actively involved on the ground in Iran, I don’t think they would get very far off the docks, or worse yet they would buy them from a Mossad front company like the one they setup to sell pagers.

Well, they managed to make the pagers thing work.

I could see them doing something like that successfully.

On further thought the best possible solution is to hack Iranian drones armed with munitions—and make them do the attack on the Iranian key players.

That could have been done with infiltration of hardware or software that affected the drones.

It would not surprise me if Mossad could make that happen.

Then “Israeli drone base inside Iran” would be a great cover story.

You know what I just also noticed in all this mess in the Middle East.

Everyone is focused on that and we’ve hardly heard a thing on the riots and the *No Kings* “protests”.

It’s taken center stage and all the attention from the left’s big media show.

Yup—with the left “The issue is never the issue. The revolution is the issue.”

That means they can change focus on a dime—and get equally hysterical about the next new thing.

There are new wars.

God has given man free will. He helps man when he helps himself, He doesn’t control man.

Quit projecting, Adolf. YOU and your fellow Anti-Free Speech, Pro-War fascists are a HUGE problem on FR.

Just because I don’t put Israel over the US doesn’t mean that I am a Nazi. On the contrary, YOU are the Nazi because you want to silence anyone who puts America First. With you lot, it’s Ukraine First, Israel first and America Last.

Because of Anti-Free speech zealots like yourself, I can’t even ask anyone about what really happened to the USS Liberty. The incident took place before I was born and I’ve always been curious to know the truth but, because of dangerous zealots such as yourself, I don’t have free speech.

FYI, I support Israel in its actions against Iran. Iran is a danger to the world (the Government, not the people) and I trust Israel to get the job done. So, don’t you DARE attempt to call me a Nazi, just because I put America First. Understand? Comprende? Capiche?

It’s ironic that you accuse someone of being a Nazi, considering the Pro-Genocide comments that you have made against Russians and Belarusians.Adolf held similar views as you.

Don’t dare to respond to me, you Anti-American, Anti-Free Speech war pig. I’m reporting you for abuse.

Why aren’t you on the frontlines fighting for your “holy” Ukraine?

I have thought the same thing.

Everyone better have their heads on a swivel, pray hard and be extremely vigilant.
