“Some experts “ahem” were expecting the strike last night.

Iran even tweeted out “We are ready.”

Where did you see Israel give a heads up?

The shortest way to Tehran is across Syria and Iraq - two countries that no longer have air defense or capable governments.

I wonder if Recep Erdogan, the Muslim fundamentalist dictator of NATO partner Turkey, will get involved...

Erdogan is definitely a friend of Iran.

Saw what looks to be a 15/20 story building almost laying on its side.

This morning Glenn Beck, who knows everything (/s) said gas is going to be $10 a gallon shortly because the two water routes for oil to pass in the Gulf would be shut down by the Houthis and Iranians. Meaning greatly reduced oil supply for the world.

List of chokepoints.

Damn fools. Wyckoff had a meeting scheduled with the Iranians for Saturday. Netanyahu just flipped the finger to Trump.

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

Israel can probably stop Iran from enriching more uranium, but Iran probably has enough for a dozen bombs”

The delivery system isn’t a coffee can thus much easier to find and kill.

Perhaps deep state once again operating behind Trump’s back?

Lots of noise right now. Propaganda city.

I hope this war helps Benjamin Netanyahu get a delay with his trial. Apparently he had tummy ache today and had to get a continuance.

If that were so, than this attack is pointless - unless they are targeting all the nuclear scientists and nuclear program leadership - I hope.

I think the heads up was the US evacuating people from Iraqi and surrounding countries embassies last night our time. There were also reported Israeli defense movements.

Not to worry…….God is in control.
Hopefully, the Iranians will have a regime change.
Those Persians deserve a decent government.

I don’t want to land in Commanchee sky park
Or in Nashville, Tennessee
I don’t want to land in no San Juan airport
Or in Yukon Territory
I don’t want to land in no San Diego
I don’t want to land in no Buzzard’s Bay
I don’t want to land on no Ayatolah
I got nothing more to say

They will not hit one site. Their nuclear facilities are at least 500 meters underground in rock. Israel does not have the means to take those out.
The purpose of the attack is to draw us in to war.

It’s going to be funny when our Russian Reepers go to defending Iran since their hero Pootin is supplying Iran.
