Well, whoop-de-doo.
Omar Abu LaylaI wonder if this was the original target from that 3 story building they dropped yesterday since no news came of it.
..as well as those o' us who're still working one-two-or even more jobs, yet take our time and energy to share news, only to either have to wade through the nonsense, or worse yet, risk our work/threads being closed completely,or sent elsewhere because people choose to think they are somehow spechual cats and they are somehow exempt from the rules and requests of the site owner.When you start sniping at each other like this, it irritates the hell out of staff.
That is curious, and I would say very much out of 'character' for the Israeli State.OSINTdefender

Arab Officials have stated that Israel assured them and other Middle Eastern Countries today that their Retaliatory Strike against Iran for Saturday Night’s Attack wouldn’t Endanger Regional Security and would likely be Limited in Scope, with Israel stating that they would also likely Warn their Regional Allies before a Strike against Iran were to occur.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock will travel to Israel on Tuesday for discussions on how to prevent an escalation of tensions in the region following Iran's attack over the weekend, Reuters reports.

It is very possible that they mean business. It is possible that unless some wonder weapon is used, Iran may launch a very significant missile attack, and then more until they can't launch any more, which may mean the end of modern Israel, and a massive hurt on OUR troops in the area. At this point of human and military history, I don't have the slightest idea of who has what we don't know about. I do know that usually in history, when some adversary comes up with a capability or "new" innovation the former current top dog hadn't confronted before, they often lost; even if it took some time. You can go back to WWII or WWI or all the way back to the Roman Empire facing huge armies based on horse archers against a foot army.
Most likely in a fairly, maybe very, quick end. Israel has never messed around, they hit back and hard. This time Iran has directly shot back and in a very big way, and warns the next counter attack will be 100 to 1000 times bigger. Russia has said if the USA helps Israel attack Iran, they will intervene. Russia has said if the USA is involved directly in an attack on Russia, the USA WILL be hit. This could spiral out of all calculations and beyond any planning circles.Israel hits back. Iran hits back from that. They trade blows back and forth. Neither will allow the other to be the last to hit.
Where does this end????
I’ve read all of that. I know what Israel and Iran have said. When and if Israel does respond, Iran will insist that it will respond, just to “save face”, then Israel will respond, just to “save face”. This is going to keep going until someone drops on the mat.Most likely in a fairly, maybe very, quick end. Israel has never messed around, they hit back and hard.

However, Isreal may have made some statements lately saying they will (may) respond in a reasoned way not to bring on a Regional War.
But who knows. The "press" has done nothing but lied to us for almost a decade now, total lies, not all gentle lies like before.

Yea - new plan is to only give them 9 billion instead of 10! And beg them to be nice!Well, whoop-de-doo.

This is incredibly unusual…
Iranian media is reporting that the Swiss Ambassador to Iran was summoned so that she could be warned about the consequences of a potential Israeli military strike and US involvement in such a strike.
However, the ambassador was not summoned to the foreign ministry; instead, she was summoned to the IRGC.
Summoning is a formal diplomatic tool that allows a host country to express a strong objection about a matter to a foreign diplomat.
I don't remember when a foreign diplomat in any country was summoned anywhere else but the host country's foreign ministry, much less the IRGC.
Motivating everyone to accept a multi year peace treaty?Israel hits back. Iran hits back from that. They trade blows back and forth. Neither will allow the other to be the last to hit.
Where does this end????
Well, it's nice to know WHICH chair holds the gavel when things start to get drawed up.Summoned to the IRGC HQ?.....Hummmmm....The implications of that are interesting and huge.....

Just as a side bar:Turkey will side with the other militant musloids when it gets serious.
Their NATO membership is a sham, IMO.
It kind of depends on the sanctions. Russia is laughing at theirs.Guy Elster
@guyelster
There are countless sanctions imposed on #Iran. The thought that a new round of them would deter Tehran is laughable

This all comes on the heels of revelations that Biden green lighted Iran’s attack and told Israel to “take the win,” of managing to shoot down the vast majority of missiles fired at them, without retaliating.

It's called "The Rothchilds Tactic" (funding both sides of the war) In this case not much funding both sides but encouraging one side so the other side (US's MIC) can make money. Same principal, in effect in that it's about money.I can't believe Biden gave Iran permission to strike Israel!
And then we helped Israel shoot them down!
Talk about creating a war.
Summoned to the IRGC HQ?.....Hummmmm....The implications of that are interesting and huge.....
Biden sitting in is scary as all get out and worse if Jill is with him.American official to Reuters: The meeting between Biden and the National Security Council team has begun in the situation room at the White House.
