Israel launched widescale strikes against Iran on Friday, saying it targeted nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and military commanders during the start of a prolonged operation to prevent Tehran from building an atomic weapon. Iran had launched about 100 drones towards Israeli territory in retaliation, which Israel is working to intercept.

  1. It was only a matter of time and we should all be afraid that the next one destroys all of humanity on the planet. How flaming stupid can they be?

  2. Even the US was so scared of iran that it distanced itself from Israel. Mr. Yahoo will likely have sleepless nights 😂

  3. Who are Iran's friends? Russia and China? Can they and will they help Iran? Well Russia is busy with its own war. And China, are they afraid to help Iran? Or are they afraid that if Iran falls they are next? And how can they help Iran? Could they manufacture 1000's of missiles, radar systems, etc. stamped made in Iran or made in Russia? Could China supply complex state of the art weapons, with AI chatbots that speak fluent Persian? so Iranian soldiers don't have to operate the leading edge weapons with Chinese instructions?
