  1. Right after Iran threatened to immediately respond to an escalation. Let’s hope they’re bluffing

  2. is Iran really saying all explosions are due to interceptions?

  3. Maybe but seems unlikely, this seems more like a gesture to Iran “We can strike anywhere” from Israel

  4. Eventually this international dick measuring contest is going to be shut down.

  5. > Iranian semi-official FARS news is reporting that 3 explosions were heard near the military base where fighter jets are located in the northwest part of the city of Isfahan.

    >”The defense is activated in response to an object that is likely to be a drone,” sources tell FARS news.

    > Israel had told the US on Thursday it would be retaliating against Iran in the coming days, a senior US official said.

    > US Officials confirmed the strike and said the US didn’t “green light” the attack. “We didn’t endorse the response,” the official said. Israel indicated they would not attack a nuclear target.

    > The range of targets was “never specified in precise terms but nuclear and civilian locations were clearly not in that category.”

    > Iran’s state-aligned Tasnim news says nuclear facilities in Isfahan province are “completely secure,” citing a “reliable source.” Other Iranian media outlets are reporting the same.

    > All flights heading to the cities of “Tehran, Isfahan and Shiraz, the airports of the West, North West and South West have been suspended.”

    > The attack landed on Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s 85th birthday and hours after Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told CNN in an interview that if Israel takes any further military action against it would be “immediate and at a maximum level.”

  7. Iranians are downplaying it which makes me think they won’t respond

  8. And there’s me thinking that Iran’s lackluster response was the end of it, I guess Israel had other ideas.

  9. What are the chances Iran has a nuke (maybe not super powerful but a nuke non the less) or similar bomb that would kill loads in Israel? 50/50 I’d say no?

  12. I have to say, I’ll always respect someone having balls, and I’ll always respect Israel’s military’s insane capability – but maybe this is not the time to have balls and escalate

    Edit: could be too early to call this an escalation. Let’s wait for more details

  14. Okay, here’s the thing about Israel they aren’t the West where they have to babysit all the dictators when being attacked.

    It is Israel they aren’t going to mess around. Not only they’re going to strike back they’re going behind the door and will find anyone they wanna kill.

  17. Is it me or does this pretty much guarantee Iran will now seek nuclear weapons? This was the escalation EU and US were desperately trying to avoid. Oof

  19. Time for Biden to put his foot down and let Israel deal with this. Looks like unconditional support just brazen them to continue to escalate conflicts. Let them use their own money and resource to intercept what ever Iran throws their way. Both country and fight it out all they want, don’t drag the rest of the world into it.

  20. I will be very surprised if Iran doesn’t escalate this situation. They’ve been attacking people and places all around you with no resistance. They bombed Pakistan, Israel, and Jordan/USA. They have all reason to respond with whatever they want with. It almost feels like Israel and Iran are just daring each other to make the situation worse.

  21. So uh…

    Who actually has the bigger guns here? I know Israel is backed by the west and all, but if these two clown states fight it out?

    Israel, right? Even without nukes?

  22. Everybody in the region is just looking forward to escalate. This WW1 type of war willingness is going to cause only death and destruction.
