Israel strikes Tehran

[Biff_T]

We should have sent Maverick on a special ops fighter pilot mission to extract at least one of those Tomcats.

Judging by the parking arrangement, I'd venture to guess that those aircraft weren't going anywhere and haven't for a long time but who knows

I'm reading Israel has declared air superiority over Tehran, and reading that Iran wants to negotiate.  I'm betting Netanyahu isn't done yet and plans to obliterate all ballistic/nuke/drone/offensive capability that can touch Israel.

Iran best reel in its forces attacking anything US before we join in and carpet bomb the place.

There are a lot of videos of Hermes drones loitering over Tehran and other cities.  I'd lean more towards supremacy and zero chance Israel is willing to negotiate unless it involves Israelis's being allowed to implode every underground facility in Iran.

They ripped the lid off, now they have to fully finish it. They need an end state like Japan in WW2 - complete demilitarization, confiscation of all war material, etc. Iran cannot have any capability to project power outside its borders. Hopefully this is also a catalyst for the Iranian people to rid themselves of the horrendous regime they’ve been under for the last ~45 years.

You mean the Caspian right? I agree with you in principle, but my head spun for a second. Unless you’re thinking of the other war going on over in that hemisphere.

This Iranian living in Great Britian does a pretty good job of reporting:

777s as GBU-57 armed bombers…

I wonder if this is like the HARM on a MiG-29, it’s already been worked out but not tried yet.

Truly freaking EPIC!!!  Just as she says with Allah no bomb can reach us.

So I read Gabbard testified that Iran was not starting their Nuke program.

Trump is telling Iran to surrender unconditionally.

The US has the luxury of having of taking the mullah's word and then saying my bad I believed you, the Israelis don't, just one nuke would devastate the whole country. One device in a truck parked in Tel Aviv by Hamas or Hezbollah would guarantee Iran's death plus most of Israel in its death throws in a massive nuclear retaliation.

Happy to see Iran getting crushed and one must respect how ruthlessly Israel plays the game.  Had we been as vicious/decisive I think outcomes from the GWOT would be more advantageous.

I am curious about the "Iran nuke threat;" yes I've seen plenty of scary intel, but we'd be foolish not to keep the false claims of Saddam WMD top of mind before getting involved.

Real or not,

Israel has done more to accomplish defanging the regime and its proxies in the region over the last 12 months than we managed to accomplish in 20 years.

100% agree and that fact should shame our GOs; their success compared to our prevaricating came from willpower not technical inadequacies on our part.

Just reminding everyone we've been tricked before WRT WMD.

Yeah but he’s been doing that for years.

Dude is just trying to position himself as the Karzai of this situation.

He's an obvious agitator against the regime, and likely been working with the CIA for years.

My point is he's making public videos on X calling for the people to rise up, now.

I think the most impressive item in this entire conflict is how the 4th strongest IADS in the world completely folded.  Today IAF tankers are orbiting over Iran...maybe Fat Amy isn't worthless.
