I won’t attempt to find the exact language and ruling, but the Supreme Court has ruled that treason must involve “waging war” against the United States. The unauthorized disclosure of information classified as relating to the national defense is an offense, but treason, especially as it relates to the war plans of another nation? I believe it’s not treason just because some pundit says it is—or even if it should be.

In scholarly discussions of the offense, it’s regularly pointed out that treason is the only crime defined in the US Constitution, and that’s supposedly because by defining it the Framers wanted to prevent its broad application to many things that the government wanted to suppress as had been so common in prior British practice. I believe that fundamental principle was the reason for the Supreme Court’s later ruling about waging war.

I have a hard time believing Israel would give the U.S. their exact plans knowing the history of leaking plans by the U.S.
I wouldn't trust anyone in the current administration with the lives of IDF.

I think they tested this administration, and forced us to find the leaker.

Great move.

Israeli Forces Attack Iran With "Precise Strikes On Military Targets" In Retaliatory Response

https://www.zerohedge.com/geop...-attack-against-iran

Israel attacked Iran early Saturday morning local time with what it's referred to as "precise strikes on Iranian military targets," weeks after the Islamic Republic fired around 180 ballistic missiles towards Israel on Oct. 1. Blasts were reported near the headquarters of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

In a rare announcement, the Israeli military said its strikes are underway, and that their "offensive and defensive capabilities are fully mobilized," while the WSJ reports that Israel gave the US advance notice.

"We were aware in advance," said a US official.



According to unconfirmed reports, several explosions have been heard in Tehran. According to journalist Reza Rashidpour, five large explosions were heard in the city within around 10 seconds, while Iranian Air Force jets have taken off in the western part of the country, the NY Times reports.

According to the Times:

Residents of Tehran reported hearing multiple explosions in and around the Iranian capital, and Iranian state media sites said the explosions were near or at Imam Khomeini international airport.

Maryam Naraghi, an Iranian journalist, said she heard large explosions in the eastern part of Tehran, where she lives. “It was the sound of bombs and explosions,” she said. “It was very close to where I am in the eastern part of the city.” The area includes military bases and the secretive military site Parchin.

Another Iranian journalist, Reza Rashidpour, said five massive explosions were heard in Tehran within about 10 seconds. He said Iranian air force jets had taken off in the western part of the country.

Iranians have also reported hearing explosions in Isfahan, Mashhad, and Kurdistan province, while two senior Arab officials told NBC News that the initial strike on Tehran targeted barracks and a weapons depot.

You would think that these loons would eventually figure out that Israel will wreck them every time.

Fanatics are not rational.

I'm curious how these strikes are carried out. Are they ground based missiles launched from Israel, or is their Air Force launching these attacks and flying into Iranian airspace?

Sounds like they took out air defenses in Syria and Iraq as well.

I wish the US was more supportive, it's shameful.

We will be much more supportive in about 3 months.

Seems like planes.

https://www.breitbart.com/midd...-sites-air-defenses/

So 140 planes flew 2000 miles took out targets, and all returned? Yeah, Iran and its proxies are "not to be trifled with".

More like incompetant psychopaths

I thought that Israel used air launched long range missiles so not sure if any Israeli aircraft had entered Iranian airspace.

Saturday's strike was not just a threat; it was a promise that reached the heart of Tehran.

As dawn broke over Tehran today, it wasn't the usual hum of a busy city greeting the morning. Instead, the reverberations of precision strikes echoed across Iran’s strategic landscape. You could almost picture the startled faces behind closed doors in Iran’s power centers, scrambling to understand how Israel managed to pull off an operation so audacious, so brazen, and yet so meticulously calculated.

For over three hours, Israel has been striking with unprecedented precision, unmasking a simple truth: Tehran, for all its bluster, isn’t untouchable. You can almost feel the tectonic plates shifting under Iran’s feet as the “regional power” finds itself reeling, looking a lot less like the force it projects to the world and a lot more like Hezbollah, scrambling to avoid the light.

Imagine the dilemma for Iran’s leadership – retaliate and risk a spiral that might burn everything it’s built, or stay silent and let Israel’s quiet triumph ring louder. Either way, Iran is backed into a corner of its own making. A response would almost certainly turn Tel Aviv into a potential target, but after tonight, Iran knows that Israel can just as easily reach Tehran. This isn’t a vague threat; it’s a promise that’s landed, with clarity and force, right on their doorstep.

Israel changed the game
Israel has done more than just attack military installations here. It has rewritten the rules of the game, showing that it has both the nerve and the know-how to reach where it needs to, to disrupt what it must. This isn’t just an exercise in military might – it’s a statement. Israel has stripped Iran of some of its military edge in a single night, leaving the so-called “regional power” scrambling for control over its narrative, like a magician left with empty hands in front of a disappointed audience.

What we’re witnessing isn’t just military strategy but also a glimpse of a new regional dynamic. Israel has drawn a line that will be felt in power corridors well beyond Tehran. It’s a lesson in calculated defiance, one that sends a message to Iran and its proxies: Israel is ready to protect its own, to reach into even the most fortified of regions if it means safeguarding its people. The reverberations of tonight’s strike won’t fade quickly – they mark a turning point, a shift that might just reshape the balance of power for years to come.

Somewhat unrelated but the US launched a strike against the Houthi’s using a pair of B2’s to go after underground munitions caches and by all reports it was highly successful.

Just another piece of the puzzle.

And I’m wondering how well our good friend Arianna Tabatbai is sleeping. Has Mossad picked her up yet?
