    Unfortunately I am going to sleep now because the sun absolutely cooked me alive today and I won’t be able to see how this unfolds. See you tomorrow comrades, death to Israel

    Looks like the western leadership is all coming together and uniting to condemn the brown people for fighting back against western aggression.

    It’s going to be interesting to see how US responds. I personally didn’t think Iran would escalate this way, but looks like they’ve decided to make a point.

      That Iranian “attack” was so slow and gave so much room of manouver to Israel that I believe was done to save the face of the government to it’s population.

      And Israel can also claim superiority and feel it doesn’t have to retaliate. Better than an escalation.

      Another perspective would be that Iran used this so force Israel to reveal it’s de defense positions and have to chance them at a very high cost:

        Yeah, it was calculated to make a point and try not to escalate too much. But the question is whether US wants to use this as an excuse to start a war. Neocons have been salivating for a war with Iran for a long time.

    Iran’s mission to the UN has declared they are finished.

    According to RT and Chinese news sources the US, UK, assorted axis of evil forces and the occupation mobilized fighters, deployed anti-air missiles and took out a large amount of targets.

    I personally think they should have waited longer and struck more decisively, the zionists can’t stay on guard forever.

    Update: Biden has stated to the press that the US helped Isn’treal down nearly all Iranian missiles. (Reminder: Iran told the US not to get involved)

    I’m looking at Twitter and the feed id disturbingly similar to Oct 7th, with all the paid shills coming out to debunk any news of the attack while it’s ongoing. They really don’t like to look vulnerable.

    I wonder if they will go for the jugular, like attacking refineries, power plants, ports and perhaps the seat of goverment, or if they will limit it to military targets only. Although if they go for the economic targets things could escalate a lot more than if they only attack a few military bases.

      Energy and infrastructure are a mission critical to the military. Destroying power plants, communications and transportation contributes massively to reducing the combat effectiveness of your opponent. We want say they aren’t valid targets because citizens rely on them, but that’s about as valid as saying Israel bombs hospitals because terrorists are hiding in there. When the entire society is organized to be a death machine run by its citizens, attacking anything that stops that machine becomes legitimizable.

        First they take out food, water, power, etc. and bomb the fuck out of civilians. When those civilians retreat to the only places they can reasonably believe to be safe, hospitals, mosques, schools, for shelter or treatment then the IOF bombs them.

        Just first bombing the hospitals would be barbarism. Israel took it to the next level of evil-ass shit and first ensures the hospitals are overwhelmed with refugees and patients before it bombs them.
