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

[The Bread Guy]

There’s a high potential for IRGC acts of terrorism and assassination in the west. If the Iranian regime does not collapse following this, we can expect a lot of pretty bad stuff.

Not to mention Hezbollah & Co. - even if they've been thrashed a bit in Lebanon, I suspect there's more than zero assets (or supporters) to help out in the West in any such shenanigans.

Iran can't back down now. This was an Act of War. Fuck the Mullahs but this will be completely unproductive. No more monitoring and any Iranian nuclear production ongoing in unknown sites will be at overdrive. This only delayed a nuke. The only way to stop a nuke now is regime change and occupation. I've been reading analysts saying to expect proxy retaliation in Iraq and the potential mining of the Straits of Hormuz.

Better to deal with it now, than to let Iran fester forever, particularly with nukes.

Shipping lanes can be cleared, and terrorists can be sorted/stopped.

The "president of peace" has now brought the US into a war that is not over.

I suppose he might as well go all-in on Ukraine, then.

Didn't Trump’s own DNI testify that Iran wasn't actively pursuing a nuke?

She also has a tendency to parrot Russia, and this week POTUS gave her a bit of a smackdown and told to read from the current script or find a new gig.

So now she's not a Russian plant?

Well then…

I think she is certainly influenced by Russia, but if the intelligence community writ large is saying that, I tend to believe it.

Are they saying that? What I have read is that Iran has been accelerating their enrichment programme, and showed no signs of slowing prior to the strikes from Israel...

And likely weeks away from a bomb, and reports after Israeli strikes started they were trying to rush one

June 9th, from the IAEA... Iran started this game, they just didn't know the game they were playing.

FAFO

KAY BOOM!!!

What’s the BDA on this?

Watching different News channels from around the world and India Today is stating that the USAF dropped 6 MOP bombs on Fordow facility. Other news agencies are reporting 10 ballistic missile strikes throughout Israel.

Fred Hahn over at CUPE must be apoplectic right now.

KAY BOOM!!!

What’s the BDA on this?

The BDA?

“it was MASSIVE”
“ entirely effective”
“obliterated” “wiped out”
“No one’s ever done this before”
“it will be easier next time”
It’s been decided. No other assessment is necessary.
