Israeli strikes on Iran (2024, 2025, etc.)

[The Bread Guy]

Some tidbits from IRN state media (all archived links):

• IRN confirms at least some of the deaths - more - more
• New Air Force Boss Named
• One can only hope .... "Successor commanders will fully pursue the path of their predecessors: Armed Forces"
• Allegedly, anyway "Iran shoots down another F-35 fighter jet belonging to Israel: Army"
• "Pakistan expresses support for Iran, urges Muslim unity against Israel"

Iran has claimed now to have shot down 3 or 4 F-35.
Doesn’t have any wreckage pictures, or pilots or…

From the folks who will have every serialized item from a Predator up on social media before it cools.


Yawn.

Reports of drone strikes at Phase 14 of the South Pars gas field, the world's largest natural gas field shared by Iran and Qatar. LPG tanks of Iran's Fajr Jam Gas Refining Company are also reported to have been struck.

Israel certainly isn't playing around this time.

Also, there are unconfirmed murmurs that the IRGC and other military forces have fled Tabriz.

It’s not new. This has been watched for years.

In that case, undoubtedly sighs of relief in various languages as "Oh, Israel and Iran" became known.

Da.

I'd say this confirms the Phase 14 hit.

Per Channel 12, in Israel a little while ago:

• Regime change is not an official goal, but "all options are on the table".
• The next few days will be "challenging" for the Israeli public.
• Cabinet members were informed (before the war) that the number fatalities in Israel is expected to be between 800 - 4000. Will possibly be much lower considering the success of the first strike.
• War is expected to last from 2 to 3 weeks.

Iranian or not, the Tomcat is still the coolest fighter ever in my book. So long old friend.

Hmm. The Syrian exit plan?

Perhaps that was the Russian "security guarantee" all along. We'll know soon enough.

Iranian state TV threatening a "long night" for Israelis, with a "heavy and devastating" attack in the coming hours. But probably not with these:

Voice of America brings back 50 staffers amid Iran-Israel conflict​

In some White House office: "Whaddya mean they say what we want them to on the air?!?!?! In the OTHER guy's language? THAT's why they're called 'Voice of America'? Why the hell didn't someone tell me earlier!!?!?!?!?!?!"

Iran has used significantly fewer munitions in its response to Israel than originally planned because the IDF destroyed and damaged missile launchers and silos that Iran planned to use to retaliate against Israel. This is consistent with CTP-ISW’s o
