Trump certainly won’t be impressed.
does "the West" even surprise anyone anymore?
Seems like a bit of theater following this from everyone.
Stay safe @Amir and @ScholesyTheWise , hopefully this is nothing more than a "show" retaliation.
It's been a very strange situation, seems like it's mostly about showing strength without doing anything to risk an escalation but you never know. I don't recall a similar situation, with everyone knowing about an incoming attack for days, Iranian sources briefing US media on their intentions and then news of the actual attack arriving hours before it hits. I'm a little perplexed by it all.
Which is why I always got pissed off with Israeli accusations of Palestinians putting fighters and their logistic networks in civilian neighbourhoods. I bet their nuclear silos are also in residential areas, I wouldn't blame them though as there's feck all land to work with.
Just seems like theatre to me. The drones will do feck all but Iran will claim victory anyway.
Israel are carrying out heavy attacks on Lebanon right now. Jordan said they'll shoot down the drones that go over their airspace.
Yeah, I believe soldiers in bases are the ones who should be worried if at all, seeing as they too have ample time to get into shelters.
it's a very weird one, what can you say.
if this satisfies the Iranian public- the part of it that demands a response- then that's good.
'cause it's being acted out. Not genuine. The iranian regime has to sell something to its people. It has to respond as Trump revealed following Suleimani's death, and it had like 12 days to coordinate with the US and hence Israel. Not that there won't be bombings and may be even deaths, but this is a way to contain what happened in Syria while selling something to the people.
indeed, but it's not like Hezbollah is shooting teddy-bears and unicorns into the sky... it's been back and forth all day.
I hope you're right mate. This is unchartered territory. Iran have never directly attacked Israel before.
For months.
yeah sure, but seems like a bit of an escalation today.
Anyway, it's obvious that Bibi the thundercnut wishes for the public to "unite" in the fight against Iran,
and forget about his... don't know how to describe his "behaviour" in the past couple of months.
Yeah, who knows who has intel at this point.
it's always weird to get a reminder of just how small some drones are.
they look like funny-looking birds in some of the videos.

World War 3? Possibly a little dramatic?
I think (hope) this will be a pre agreed face saving exercise for the embassy attack. A retaliation to cause a bit of damage in Israel and that will be that. Israeli defences will shoot down most if not all of the drones. If they really wanted to cause damage they'd be firing ballistic missiles.
Either way Iran has been building up to this since they orchestrated the October attacks.

Feel terrible for all the innocent lives that are inevitably gonna suffer for however long this lasts for. It’s all so fecking pointless.
I think he means the worse would happen in case of retaliation and more escalation after the current attack.
Whoever dies on whichever side will be remembered as someone who fell "for the cause", allowing for the cycle to continue.... :/
@Idxomer thanks mate
And Bibi is hiding out in his buddies bunker.
feckin coward.
Just like bunker boy trump.

WW3 comments are overly dramatic of course.
We've been in WWIII since 2014. This is a significant escalation in our awareness of it though.
I was just thinking - they keep saying that the Iranians are targeting military bases / headquarters,
but for the past 6 months there's no GPS signal in Israel, as the IDF fecks it up on purpose.
if it is indeed successful in making the Iranian missiles lose their whereabouts, this surely means that the missiles will just land wherever, including on areas where there are just citizens?
Hmm.

Nobody asking Iraq anything i see. Poor bastards are in the middle of this and drones and rockets will fall on their land. Same as when Israel bombed Iran embassy in Syria.
This feels like an obviously bad source. There is no reason this guy should have extra information about this, so if nobody else is reporting it it's safe to say it's bullshit - and should not be uncritically shared.
The same goes for this, honestly:
Someone who starts their tweet with "World War III" and frequently retweets the dire Visegrad account is not credible. He's posting "quotes" (with no attribution) about Israel attacking Tehran, and Lebanon initiating a "large scale attack on Israel". Come on.

Biden is complicit in all this shit going on. How many times did he warn the public about Trump going to war with Iran.
Genocidal maniacs the lot of them.
