Iran Launches Attack on Israel

[Valletta]

Will things go nuclear?

That's what needs to be stopped.

 

[Desk trauma]

Israel expected and expects the jihadists to keep attacking.

Yeah, countries tend to retaliate when their consulates are bombed.

Israeli nuclear disarmament going to be a condition of continuing support?

"These strikes risk inflaming tensions and destabilising the region. Iran has once again demonstrated that it is intent on sowing chaos in its own backyard."

UK PM Sunak condemns Iran's "reckless" attack against Israel

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Saturday he condemned Iran's "reckless" attack against Israel, which he said showed that it was "intent on sowing chaos in its own backyard". Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said it launched dozens of drones and missiles at Israel, an attack...

Of course Israel was going to go after the generals that planned the massacre. Iran is indeed reckless and foolhardy.

So it begins. I've been waiting for this. This could light up the entire Ezekiel 38 scenario.

As for the Dome of the Rock, hit it!

 

[SoldierOfTheKing]

Israel expected and expects the jihadists to keep attacking. If the drones arrive at the border they expect Hezobollah to launch rockets as well.
Israel must eliminate Iran's nuclear weapons capability.

If a war with Iran is what they want, their leadership is even less rational than I thought…

Attacking consulates is a gross violation of international law. The principle of safe conduct for diplomats has been basic to foreign relations for centuries. At this point, Iran has to retaliate to be taken seriously.

they kinda do, because Iran has been encircling them in a 'ring of fire' of proxies for decades. Iran wants to genocide the Jews, so yes you'd want to eliminate an enemy that's trying to eliminate you and won't agree to a peaceable coexistence.

Launching a massacre is a violation of international law. Iran has been behind numerous continued attacks against Israelis and Americans and now they have, as of course would happen when they continued, been retaliated against on their own territory. Who cares where?

Just remember Iran has an extra 65 billion dollars to finance weapons that they would not have had if Trump were in office.

That’ll go nicely with that pile of enriched uranium they only have because Trump was in office.

Who's trying to make a deal with Iran to allow them to enrich Uranium? wasn't Trump, but Obama and now Biden.

Mr Art of the Deal tore up the agreement that capped their enrichment capabilities. They have way more now than ever.

April 2019

The head of the international organization charged with monitoring Iran’s compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal said Iran is meeting its obligations under the accord and warned against states trying to influence verification activities.

The IAEA quarterly report on Iran’s nuclear program, released publicly just days after Amano’s statement, contains additional details demonstrating that Iran is abiding by the deal’s terms. It notes that Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium is below the 300-kilogram cap set by the JCPOA and that Iran has not enriched uranium above the limit of 3.67 percent uranium-235, far below the 90 percent level considered useful for weapons purposes.

The report notes that the agency has had access to “all the sites and locations in Iran which it needed to visit.”

they were at 20% when Trump left the deal, and now they're at 60%

Can you provide a source for this information, because that doesn't agree with the IAEA report.

Didn't Netanyahu provide intelligence on that that swayed Trump's opinion? I don't know the exact details but some parties had Iran in violation so Trump left the deal.

Iran's retaliation for Israel's attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus has begun.

Iran launched drone attack on Israel, U.S. and Israel officials say

Iran launched dozens of drones against Israel on Saturday night local time, four U.S. and Israeli officials told Axios.

It is the first time Iran launched an attack from its soil against Israel. It's unclear what the targets are.


It will take approximately 8 to 9 hours for these drones to reach Israel. Iran also has cruise missiles that can reach Israel in 2 hours and ballistic missiles that can reach Israel in less than 15 minutes.

What are Iran’s missile and drone capabilities?

Report says ballistic missiles fired from Iran would take 12 minutes to reach Israel, cruise missiles would take two hours, and drones would reach targets in nine hours

A “face-saving“ retaliatory strike was expected.
This is that.
The Iranians have “had their say”.
Is that a Bad Thing?, a nation showing its ire over its consulate being attacked? After they called everybody to make sure that they knew that they’d be “attacking”, like civilized people do.

 

[Pommer]

Yes, enrich uranium all the way up to 20% which works great in nuclear-reactors and not at all in “bombs”.

 

[Slibhin]

They can, will, and saying otherwise can only be based in hatred of the Jews. /s

I'm a Jew and I would say Netanyahu absolutely provoked Iran in this instance.
