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

[The Bread Guy]

Highlights from the latest ISW summary (attached - highlights mine):

• "The IAEA confirmed that Israeli strikes have impacted underground infrastructure at the Natanz nuclear site. This came after the IAEA reported that Israeli strikes have likely damaged or destroyed thousands of centrifuges at Natanz.
• Israel has continued striking Iranian military targets, which has likely degraded Iranian missile forces significantly. This degradation is reflected in the decreasing volume of Iranian missile fire at Israel.
• Israel has continued striking energy infrastructure and regime sites connected to domestic surveillance and repression. These strikes could reduce the ability of the regime to control the population and, in turn, destabilize it.
• US President Donald Trump called for Iran’s “unconditional surrender.” This came as the United States sent additional forces to the Middle East and could reportedly meet with senior Iranian officials in the coming days to discuss a resolution to the war.
• Iran has prepared to fire missiles at US forces if the United States strikes Iran, according to the New York Times. The outlet reported that Iran would first attack US positions in Iraq and then in other unspecified Arab countries, presumably those around the Persian Gulf.
• Iranian-backed militias have agreed to attack US forces in Iraq if the United States strikes Iran. These militias are the same ones that conducted around 200 attacks targeting US positions in Iraq and Syria from October 2023 to November 2024.
• A senior Houthi official said that the Houthis “will intervene to support Iran against Israel.” The Houthis could support Iran by firing projectiles at US and Israeli targets or resuming attacks targeting international shipping."

Some B1's with big bunker busters mixed in with IAF strike packages might happen, everyone might suspect the USAF, but if no one says anything, they have to blame Israel.

I think you meant B-2.

The B-1’s are a little obvious when they get used.

I guess no one has yet reminded him that the 2 weeks he gave Russia again, has been well blown past.

Trump Tells Putin To End Ukraine War Before Mediating Iran-Israel

US President Donald Trump appeared Wednesday to rebuff Vladimir Putin's offer to mediate in the Israel-Iran conflict, saying the Russian president should end his own war in Ukraine first.

True. But if they use B-1's at least every living thing in the AO will have significant hearing loss after...

Probably be helpful if things continue to escalate past that

People have their own opinions about Tucker...

I for one think Tucker getting fired from FOX was the best thing to happen in the independent media space for a long time.

I doubt we will see any of the big MSM companies calling out politicians as bluntly as this.

In other news, Russia confirming it's pretty worthless as a defense partner on it's end.

They've got their own mess to sort out jn Ukraine, they can't be everywhere at once.

It wouldn't surprise me if there was some brief discussion about deploying combat jets to Iranian airfields, as the strategy was pretty effective in Syria...

But I think they are also well aware that Israel isn't America, and they'll shoot down whoever gets in their way.

I think they also know that America might ask them to slow things down or be a bit more selective in their target packages, but there's a good chance Israel will just consider that background noise & carry on



Sucks for Iran, but honestly Russia should sit this one out. Maybe send them an S-400 piñata as a "Good Luck!" gift
