Seems like planes. https://www.foxnews.com/world/...e-targeting-israelis 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. By ZVIKA KLEIN OCTOBER 26, 2024 04:48 A general view of Tehran after several explosions were heard, in Tehran, Iran, October 26, 2024. (photo credit: MAJID ASGARIPOUR/WANA (WEST ASIA NEWS AGENCY) VIA REUTERS) A general view of Tehran after several explosions were heard, in Tehran, Iran, October 26, 2024. 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. https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-826128 _________________________ | |||

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? | |||

I think the US population is overwhelmingly supportive now. I know my whole family is. The only anti Israel people I have seen are online where the sample is concentrated. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

The latest details are posted on TWZ. This stood out: "The question still remains if any IAF crewed assets ever even entered into Iranian airspace. Standoff munitions, especially air-launched ballistic missiles, could have been responsible for striking the limited target sets that were hit..."

Britain announced it would consider providing intelligence collected from surveillance flights over Gaza to the ICJ as part of the investigation against Israel for war crimes. https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/398113 The British Ministry of Defense is considering providing the International Court with intelligence collected from surveillance flights over Gaza, to assist in the investigation against Israel on charges of war crimes. The British Air Force has conducted hundreds of surveillance flights over Gaza since last December, gathering intelligence on the situation in Gaza since the outbreak of the war. The surveillance flights were carried out using spy planes based in Cyprus. A statement from the British Ministry of Defense said that the surveillance flights were intended to gather information regarding the hostages, but British Defense Ministry officials said they would agree to share the information collected with the International Criminal Court as part of the investigation against Israel. "In accordance with our international obligations, we will consider any official request from the International Criminal Court to provide information related to investigations of war crimes. The UK is not a party to the conflict between Israel and Hamas." "Our mandate is narrowly defined to focus solely on ensuring the release of hostages, including British citizens, with the Royal Air Force conducting unarmed flights since December 2023 for this purpose only," said the British Ministry of Defense's statement. Last May, the prosecutor at the ICJ announced his intention to seek arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The prosecutor, Karim Khan, accused them of starvation of civilians as a method of warfare and the deliberate targeting of attacks against the civilian population, since the outbreak of the war and the October 7th massacre. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

Would like to know your thoughts on this tacfoley; Is this because of the leftward tilt of your newly installed government? _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." Mark Twain | |||

The new government are a dumb-ass bunch of freakin' liars and stumblebums who couldn't arrange for something that fell out of their hands to fall downwards. I really have no idea what their thoughts are about Israel, or much else for that matter. I'm prepared to be unsurprised at any thing this new Labour government does. As of this moment, they are THE most unpopular and least trusted occupiers of the House of Commons that anybody can recall - certainly within post-WW2 memory. I wouldn't piss on any of them if I found them on fire. | |||

RAF aircraft on reconnaissance missions don't need to enter Israeli airspace to carry out their tasks, so how are either hamas or hezbollah going to shoot them down? You really think that Israel is likely to shoot down an RAF aircraft operating in international airspace? | |||
