Smoke was seen rising over Jerusalem on Friday after an Iranian missile barrage, with an impact reported just 350 meters from the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Temple Mount, one of the most sensitive sites in the region.

Despite the proximity to the holy compound, Magen David Adom said no injuries had been reported at this stage.

How is IRAN STILL ABLE TO LAUNCH MISSLES WITH AT LEAST FAIR TARGETING CAPABILITY?

“Uber News”

another obscure dubious “news” source. There is something going on. We keep seeing posts from these previously unknown sources. They are almost always anti admin or written in a way to degrade support for this action.

Trump has no plan, except to rid the world or the Mullah’s, crash the shipping insurance cartel, create American oil dominance, destroy China’s economy, bring freedom to Cuba, Eliminate NATO, ridicule Euroweenies and maybe eliminate communism in Vietnam.

Besides that, he’s just flailing

NATO a paper tiger... yeah, kinda. But he’s a tool for being angry that they aren’t jumping into his and Bibi’s war. They were not included in the plan, and did not know of it until we launched the surprise attack. Can’t exactly expect other to join in when you do that.

The way that reads it comes off as if Iran’s missiles struck near the Dome of the Rock and I know they would not do that?

I thought all Iran’s missile capability was demolished? What is this? A strike by Israel near the Dome of the Rock? or a mistake by Iranian missiles hitting near their own the Temple Mount and Dome of the Rock?

Wonder what the truth is. The Israelis would massively benefit from this as it could launch a full-on Moslem civil war. Could easily be their rocket.
Who would know?

They still have mobile missile platforms. Were we willing to create a lot more suffering we would have taken out Iran’s electricity and refining infrastructure which would have crippled them once they ran out of fuel. Since we prefer the country not be a starving broken mess when we are done the alternative is to continue taking them out one at a time or let them run out of missiles. I hope that the 6 week timeline was how long we felt it would take to end the missile, drone, and mining threats even without a capitulation or popular uprising.

who told you their capacity to shoot missiles was neutralzed? all day we see reports from Israel about missle alerts. ?? one of the reasons we are handling this danger now per John Ratcliffe in testimony the other day is the high number of missiles they had accumulated, just itching to tack on a nuclear warhead when read - so takes time to take missiles, launchers out. and btw Iran would love to have a major hit on area like Temple Mt, home to Dome/Al Aksa, Church of Holy Sepulchre and Western Wall - enflaming Christians and Muslims, and blame it on Israel.

I'm in favor of Trump wiping out the Iranian leadership.

I'm in favor of Trump blasting the NATO wienies.

But I'm not in favor of doing them both at the same time.

US and Israel started this attack, and they should finish it.

If Iran is getting down to the last of it's ability to fire missile barrages, I wonder what their objective has become in choosing their targets. Is it some kind of scorched earth plan?

“...and did not know of it until we launched the surprise attack. Can’t exactly expect other to join in when you do that.”

It requires a person with a room temperature IQ to believe that Trump could alert all those European nations to his plans for an attack and no one would alert the Iranians.

But you know that, but are possessed by TDS and are compulsive reflexive.

Muslims covet Jerusalem only because it belongs to the Jews. That is why they are OK attacking it with missiles.

I’m in favor of discontinuing the money grabbing scheme known as NATO immediately.
