ALERT Regional middleast war thread Israel and Iran at war

[philkar]

I

I can't get any of my Telegram channels (most of which are based in Israel) to update--hasn't for several hours. Anyone else experiencing this?

I too have had difficulty mostly all day. I don't use telegram but sites from Israel. Can't get on any of them. I figured it was just me! You know stand on one foot and twirl around hoping you might be gifted with a bit of service!

So if we've got the cities/targets correct is it looking like a serious and full throated response, or more of that scripted "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" kind of attack that Iran seemed to have thrown at them

Obama can't be happy if all that nuclear infrastructure he paid for is getting ruined...

One can but hope. One can but hope he’ll eat shit and die, as well…

“No strikes until after Pesach”, “Rafah operation clearance traded for no strikes”, “No strikes until Saturday” - and then the Israelis hit them with their guard down.

Israel and the US very clearly won the information war in this round of fighting.

Iran hasn't seen anything like this since the later stages of the Iran-Iraq War and the "War of the Cities" when they and Iraq were shooting SCUDs at each other's cities.

Thanks--my (techhy) son said log out & back in--no joy. Online said close program with task manager & turn back on--still same posts, w no updates. Just started using it the other day--maybe the 5-6 Israeli sites I picked all have stopped updating since the attack began. OR (as I suspect) ISRAEL has shut DOWN all communications on social media outside the country in anticipation of this attack so there'd be no leaks.

When that happens things will go "off the charts" immediately.

 

[Countrymouse]

Reminds me FAR too much of that short video someone made, years ago, of the bombs falling on Israel.

Of course whoever made it, was hoping Israel would be destroyed.

Just found it again. It is called "The Last Day," and is 4 mins 37 seconds.

Depicts an IRANIAN attack on Jerusalem and "environs."

From what we're seeing now, #Iran absolutely seems content on just sweeping this under the rug and pretending it never happened.

A US official confirms to me that Israel has carried out a strike against Iran. Both the official and another senior US official say Israel indicated they would not attack nuclear targets. US didn't "green light" this attack, the 2nd official told me.

Tonight has Proven that Israel has the Ability and the Capability to launch Strikes against Iranian Territory without almost anyone knowing it’s coming and likely without the Support of the United States, if I was Iran I would be beyond Nervous.

With its strikes tonight in Esfahan, #Israel has sent #Iran's supreme leader birthday wishes. Khamenei turns 85 on April 19.

Official Israeli government sources are keeping pure radio silence. That only happens when there is heavy censorship and complete coordination. Anyone who deals with Israeli sources, knows how unusual this is. My people love to talk.

The Iranian leadership in particular has to be "going to the mattresses".

Isn't it also Hitler's birthday?

 

[Countrymouse]

Oh good grief.
NOW Iran is trying to claim NO attack happened at ALL:

Amir Tsarfati

The Iranian news agency Tasnim, which is affiliated with the regime: contrary to claims and reports - there is no foreign attack in Isfahan or any other part of the country. The air defense fired interceptor missiles in some places, but this is due to the high sensitivity of the air defense...

The air defense fired interceptor missiles in some places, but this is due to the high sensitivity of the air defense systems

That is, the Iranians are beginning to completely deny the event.


(ETA: wonder if this means--the attack actually hit them pretty HARD...)

 

[jward]

and from/for those who prefer a lil hyperbole w/ their news
:: rolls eyes n shakes head ::

 

[Pinecone]

Could this be to put Israel at ease that Iran won't hit back?

 

[Reasonable Rascal]

iran claiming everything was intercepted so i guess it's all good now lol

It is true, they were.

Iran is using a new ground-based intercept system that has proven to be 100% successful. Each and every incoming missile is hit with an extremely firm piece of terra firma. *Nothing* gets through.

Not only is the intercept system itself 100% successful at stopping all missiles, each and every such attack is followed by angry threats of dire consequences in response. The whole thing functions like a finely tuned Swiss watch.

Although, of course, the possibility remains that further escalation could yet occur — Iran may counterstrike yet again to drive home their point; Israel may follow up this extremely modest "probing" attack with a serious strike.

But for now, gold says this was all a nothingburger.

If there's no damage or if Iran can scrub it then this could die down for the better.

Hey- I'm all for deescalation, and lying is a time honored step on the path getting us there-
cool.

If those aircraft were all parked in hardened aircraft shelters (HAS) or in those new tunnel complexes at that air base, the only way to get at them without using nukes or overflying with aircraft to drop heavy earth penetrating JDAMs would be cruise missiles with preferably tandem warheads going through the blast doors.

April 19 is a long known satanist blood sacrifice day.

Not sure where you get your info but the vernal equinox is their marker, not the date. It happens to fall on the 19th this year but more often on the 20th or 21st.
