Israel Strikes Iran

10 comments

1. Is this leading to an actual war?

2. I believe Israel has paralyzed the entire iran leadership. The same astonishment we experienced with Hezbollah is now being experienced with Iran, a collapse no one expected or believed.

3. It honestly was a long time coming, Irán had ran out of proxies (No Hamas, no Hezbollah and no Assad) and Netanyahu’s government needed an excuse to keep the country in a state of war to boost and maintain him afloat.

   Still, such a blatant attack that (afaik bc neither have confirmed it) killed a chief of staff of the IRCG isn’t something Irán can ignore, even less when it comes from Israel

   I don’t see a viable off ramp or way to ease tensions either, Iran government is also very unpopular, and hitting Israel is probably something they calculate could give them more legitimacy.

   Regional wars are back on the menu boys, if no big actor steps in to stop things it will set a big precedent for more regional conflicts like this

4. Overwhelming violence is how you achieve peace. It sucks, but humans haven’t figured out another way.

   And anyone who disagrees simply doesn’t know their history. It’s unfortunate but this the way its been for millennia

5. It’s unlikely Israel would take a gamble this large unless they were convinced Iran wasn’t prepared.

   With Iranian air defenses pretty much wiped out during Iran’s last attack on Israel, it’s probably not looking good for the IRGC in the short term.

   The real risk here for Israel is if this becomes a prolonged conflict or if it rallies hundreds of thousands of Shia militiamen across Iraq and Lebanon.

6. Iranian state television confirms that top nuclear scientists Abbasi and Tehranchi were killed in Israeli strikes. Israeli media reports that it is expected Iran will launch hundreds of ballistic missiles towards Israel in counter-attack. Hospitals on alert. Iranian state media confirms that the chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Hossein Salami, has been killed in an Israeli strike.

7. What I don’t understand is why Russia and China are so cool with Iran having nuclear weapons. I know they’re an ally (sort of) but that could change in a second. and now you have one more problematic country with nuclear missiles.

8. Let’s hope that Israel is successful.

9. The art of distraction… perfect timing.

10. Perfect timing. Iran reject US final offer, here comes Netanyahu.
