Israel strikes Tehran

[uhhello]

All the OSINT pages are showing multiple explosions in Tehran.  Israel in declared state of emergency.  All air traffic into Israel turned around.

[uhhello]

100's of civilian flights over Iran right now.  Wouldn't want to be on board

Very interesting to see no evidence of air defense activity.

[uhhello]

Looking like very targeted strikes on IRGC homes and apartments.  This is one of the many pictured.  Lots of top floor strikes where building wasn't leveled.

Iran's CJCS reportedly taken out.

Welp. I guess it's started.

On a somewhat related note to help characterize how I approach the world, I also think the regime in Iran must be toppled. October 7th has necessitated it, and it's only a matter of time before it becomes a reality. I'm not a war-monger, though. I'm just taking an honest look at who's who in the world, and "countries" that engage others in that manner have to be transformed. That usually takes force.

Those are just mostly peaceful protests!

Did they think we were sending dependents home from the Middle East as a negotiation tactic..? Just sleeping at home like nothing is gonna happen.

Confirmed Mossad assassinations on the ground in addition to the IAF targeted political and IRGC leadership.   Its morning there now but there are additional waves overhead.  The Iranian govt has to be shitting their pants as to what comes next both from Israel and the Iranian people.  

Still have yet to see video of Iranian air defense going out.  Saw some Mig-29s taking off but zero ground to air defense.  There are bunches of video of F-35s overhead Iranian cities.

I would guess more just getting them off the ground rather than leaving but

From the British Broadcasting Corporation...

The IDF said that three Iranian military commanders had been "eliminated in the Israeli strikes across Iran".

They were Hossein Salami, the commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), Gholamali Rashid, the commander of Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters, and the chief of staff of Iran's armed forces, Mohammad Bagheri.

The Israeli military said its overnight attack focused on "over 100 targets, including senior figures of the Iranian General Staff and leaders of the nuclear program".

IRGC-affiliated news agency Tasnim reported six nuclear scientists were also killed in the strikes, of whom five have been named:

• Fereydoon Abbasi, former head Iran's Atomic Energy Organization
• Mohammad Mahdi Tehranchi, who was involved in Iran's nuclear weapons programme
• Abdulhamid Minouchehr, head of nuclear engineering at Iran's Shahid Beheshti University
• Ahmad Reza Zolfaghari, a nuclear engineering professor at Shahid Beheshti University
• Amirhossein Feqhi, another nuclear professor at Shahid Beheshti University

Ali Shamkhani, senior adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was also reported to have been seriously injured, according to Iranian reports.

State media reported civilians, including children, were also among those killed.

Apparently a considerable commando force infiltrated Iran prior and took out their SAMs with drones and other tactics prior to the air strikes.

Crazy video!

Israeli 🇮🇱 surface to air interceptors trying to take out incoming Iranian 🇮🇷 ballistic missiles in downtown Tel Aviv.
They miss one and it nearly takes out their launch site.

If they cripple the Phantom fleet, maybe they can spare the Queen of the Tankers.
