There's a Jewish holiday (Tish B'Av) starting August 12. Rumors are that's when Iran will strike Israel. Link _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

Some of you may be aware of my opinion on Iranian courage and military might and prowess. If so, you know how very little I'm concerned about yet another round of big, empty talk from these fools. | |||

Yes, because interrupting an important holiday has no chance of pissing Israel off beyond belief. Perhaps Iran should look back to 6 October 1973 and see how that turned out.

Interesting, if Iran plans to strike on that day. There is historical significance. Both Holy Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed on this date (Tish B'Av). The First Temple was burned by the Babylonians in 423 BCE and the Second Temple fell to the Romans in 69 CE. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

American soldiers 'are hit in huge rocket attack on military base in Iraq' Latest attack happens as US anticipates counterattacks against Israel Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were both briefed on the strikes https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne...dle-East-crisis.html A huge rocket attack on Ain al-Assad base in Iraq wounded 'several' American soldiers on Monday, officials said, just a day after Antony Blinken made chilling predictions of an Iranian counterattack on Israel. The base in the west of the country was targeted by two Soviet-made Katyusha rockets amid soaring tensions in the Middle East - with Iran threatening to strike Israel as early as tonight. The rocket fire is the latest in a series of attacks targeting the base in western Iraq, which hosts American troops as well as personnel from the US-led coalition against the Islamic State jihadist group. Israel has been braced for an Iranian assault on five fronts ‘at any moment’ in revenge following the assassination Wednesday of Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, in Tehran a day after an Israeli strike in Beirut killed Fuad Shukr, a senior military commander from the Lebanese group Hezbollah.

Curious if anyone knows, do we have one or two Carrier groups in the region? | |||

Currently, one Carrier Strike Group (USS Theodore Roosevelt and support) and one Amphibious Ready Group (USS Wasp and support). | |||

USS Theodore Roosevelt CSG is on station in the Red Sea and the USS Abraham Lincoln CSG is on the way to relieve from WESTPAC. "the meaning of life, is to give life meaning" ✡ Ani Yehudi אני יהודי Le'olam lo shuv לעולם לא שוב! | |||

Al Asad has been attacked a lot because it is currently the largest consolidation of US forces in Iraq. I took down my post because although fatalities were being reported, it wasn’t confirmed. | |||

I wasn't alive to see the founding of the modern state of Israel, or for the Six Day War. I was alive for, but too young to remember, the Yom Kippur War. I remember the Lebanon skirmishes in the 1980s, but was a kid and didn't really understand the dynamics. But I read. I read, and I like history, and based on history if I had to devise a single piece of foreign-policy advice for Israel's neighbors, it would be this: Don't fuck with Israel. It never, ever ends well for the aggressor. Iran knows this. The only hedge against Israeli retaliation for any attack is the current clownshow in our White House, who will dutifully threaten and yell and scowl at Israel on Iran's behalf and maybe discourage Israel from giving Iran a ballistic pounding that'll set Iran back to their 1930s industrial capacity. Iran knows that their window of opportunity is THIS ADMINISTRATION. They'll attack, Israel will not go completely Sword of Gideon on them, and it'll be propaganda fodder to sustain Iran for the coming 4-8 years. Because under a Trump-Vance foreign policy, Iran will be as quiet as a freakin' hamster. Biden and Harris make the world substantially less safe, simply by existing. | |||

Is there a website to track blow-by-blow military operations between Israel and its enemies in real time ? I'm not finding this in any big US based media websites (duh). I checked Times of Israel, but couldn't find any hot and live links with current, real time information. Also, the lack doesn't seem like an accident either. Lover of the US Constitution Wile E.

I've not found any websites. I'm following several Twitter users including accounts posting in Hebrew in order to receive current, unfiltered, news reports. Otherwise, Times of Israel is about the only other decent option for daily reporting. | |||
