Are they even going to retaliate before the US election?

Netanyahu wants Trump to win, so I think he strikes days before the election to put Kamala in a bind.

I'm going to say Saturday night Oct 26th.

(CNN) The Biden administration sent a letter to the Israeli government demanding it act to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza within the next 30 days or risk violating US laws governing foreign military assistance, suggesting US military aid could be in jeopardy.

The Sunday letter, jointly written by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, is addressed to Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant and Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer. It marks a significant new step by the US to try to compel Israel to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

I think the plan is to wait until after the election because he is going to get a better deal with Trump. Trump is going to join in on the attacks himself and destroy all of Iran's energy facilities and military assets, because "Iran was trying to kill Trump".

The only interesting thing is really if Israel gauges its showmanship correctly. Too little is impossble given how we will hype it not matter what it is. Too much is anything that trigger a new round of tits for tats.

On topic question. If Israel wants to give it a serious go, then it will either trigger a tit-for-tat on purpose before the election. But that lets Iran be kingmaker again. Elect trump by responding before the election, or waiting until after the election to give Harris a boost.

Or...wait until after the election and hope Trump with follow up Israel after it does something seriously escalatory.

Israel has been conducting operationa inside Iran for years and the Islamic republic has just not said anything. They would have lies about Haniyeh if they could. The reason for this is that they don’t have any effective response, especially not after both Hamas and Hezbollah have been rekt. Expectation already high, hearts of the faithful heavy. The first response, was effective in sensibg a messge to those that needed to know, but publicly it was shrugged. The up coming attack will not be ambigious. Either the Islamic republic responds, then the saw they are sitting on, moves forward. Or, they don’t respond and the saw moves backwards. Either way the saw is going further up their anus. Israel can then focus on destroying Hamas and Hezbollah. Which, if you go back, I said you only need to destroy those two, to hasten the demise of the Islamic republic. Like clock work, everything I expected has unfolded. The Islamic republic supporters are in a highly emotional state, some of them have realized they are ao far behind, others are a bit suicidal and think they should drag the USA into the war, some of them are content with the recent missile attack.

Destroy Hamas and Hezbollah and it is gg. Again I can cite you their own analysts and translate the desperation, ranging from suicide attacks, to hijacking and trying to shoot down passenger planes. And those the least deluded, because they have realized how far back they are in capabilities and that to cite one of them “either Hezbollah wins, or it is over”. Not survives, wins.

Probably early next week. Netanyahu wants to get trump in office and will do what he can but he can't be obvious about it. Meaning he won't do a strike on Iran days before the election, it'd be too obvious.

He does a strike somewhere between 20-25 and it's far enough away from the election for him to have plausible deniability about alterior motives but close enough to force Harris and trump to take and focus on the israeli/Islamic terrorism war which will be on voters minds on election day.

It won't matter. I'm pretty certain trump is going to be win in a landslide. The whole polling system which claims the race is nearly tied, with trump slightly ahead, is flawed because it fails to take into account how many people are going to vote trump but won't say it publicly because the liberal establishment has successfully brainwashed its drones into turning any trump supporter into a facist/racist/sexist pariah.

I know plenty of people at the agency I work at who are 100% voting trump for a myriad of reasons but none of us say it around the office or after hours because it isn't worth the headache and potential HR bullshit blowback we would get from the obligatory Karen's who "don't feel comfortable working with someone who thinks that way".

Israel destroyed 4 countries militaries *bordering* it, when those regimes had the backing and support of their people to wage war to destroy Israel. The Islamic republic does not have the backing of it’s people, at best 15%. There are so many variables against the Islamic republic, summarized in how slow they have been to react, how poorly the alliance is coordinated. The Islamic republic never wanted or imagined a direct confrontation with Israel, so there are no contingencies, no plans and no coordination to that effect. Funny enough the decision by Trump to take out Suleimani, and the tepid response is what emboldened Israel to hit more and more IRGC commanders. The issue was raised back then as dangerous, but given the lack of openness about failure, it was not taken seriously. Now every halfwit regime supporter os pointing that exact moment out as when it became evident the Islamic repiblic was “resonable” and for whatever reason, not willing to act on the 45 years of Jihadi slogans.

This past year, that mentality has evolved to now tell people to shut up with the slogans, you are raising expectations.

Israel launches strikes on military targets in Iran, escalating Mideast wars

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel launched airstrikes early Saturday on what it described as military targets in Iran in retaliation for a ballistic missile assault Oct. 1, officials said. There was no immediate information on damage in the Islamic Republic.

The attack, threatened for weeks by Israel, comes as the Middle East sits on the precipice of a regional war more than a year after an initial attack by the militant group Hamas on Israel. In the time since, Israel has launched a devastating ground offensive in the Gaza Strip and an invasion of neighboring Lebanon, targeting militants long armed and aided by Tehran.

Israel’s military described the attack Saturday as “precise strikes on military targets in Iran,” without immediately elaborating.

“The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since Oct. 7 ... including direct attacks from Iranian soil,” an Israeli military statement said. “Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has the right and the duty to respond.”

In Tehran, the Iranian capital, the sound of explosions could be heard, with state-run media there initially acknowledging the blasts and saying some of the sounds came from air defense systems around the city.

A Tehran resident told The Associated Press that at least seven explosions could be heard, which rattled the surrounding area. The resident spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.

International flights began diverting around western Iran as news of the strikes broke, flight-tracking data showed.

Meanwhile, state media in Syria described its air defenses as targeting “hostile targets” there as well.

Iran has launched two ballistic missile attacks on Israel in recent months amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip that began with the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. That initial attack killed some 1,200 people and saw 250 others taken hostage back to the seaside enclave.

In the time since, more than 42,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, according to local health officials who don’t delineate between civilians and combatants. Israeli military operations in the West Bank in the time since have killed hundreds more.

Israel also has launched a ground invasion of Lebanon and a series of punishing airstrikes that have rattled that country.

The strike Saturday happened just as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was arriving back in the U.S. after a tour of the Middle East where he and other U.S. officials had warned Israel to tender a response that would not further escalate the conflict in the region and exclude nuclear sites in Iran.

White House National Security Council spokesman Sean Savett said in a statement that “we understand that Israel is conducting targeted strikes against military targets in Iran” and referred reporters to the Israeli government for more details on their operation.

Two U.S. officials said the U.S. was notified by Israel in advance of the strikes. They said there was no U.S. involvement in the operation. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing operation.

Israel had vowed to hit Iran hard following a massive Iranian missile barrage on Oct. 1. Iran said its barrage was in response to deadly Israeli attacks against its proxy in Lebanon, Hezbollah, and it has promised to respond to any retaliatory strikes.

Israel and Iran have been bitter foes since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Israel considers Iran to be its greatest threat, citing its leaders’ calls for Israel’s destruction, their support for anti-Israel militant groups and the country’s nuclear program.

Israel and Iran have been locked in a yearslong shadow war. A suspected Israeli assassination campaign has killed top Iranian nuclear scientists. Iranian nuclear installations have been hacked or sabotaged, all in mysterious attacks blamed on Israel. Meanwhile, Iran has been blamed for a series of attacks on shipping in the Middle East in recent years, which later grew into the attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on shipping through the Red Sea corridor.

But since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, the battle has increasingly moved into the open. Israel has recently turned its attention to Hezbollah, which has been firing rockets into Israel since the war in Gaza began. Throughout the year, a number of top Iranian military figures have been killed in Israeli strikes in Syria and Lebanon.

Iran fired a wave of missiles and drones at Israel last April after two Iranian generals were killed in an apparent Israeli airstrike in Syria on an Iranian diplomatic post. The missiles and drones caused minimum damage, and Israel — under pressure from Western countries to show restraint — responded with a limited strike.

But after Iran’s early October missile strike, Israel promised a tougher response.

Assgay: ”Iran attacks israel, unprovoked”

Israel attacked Iran first when they attacked Iran’s embassy building in Syria.

Iran’s attack was a response to Israel’s attack. A retaliatory self defense attack.

Israel has now chosen to continue to attack Iran. Iran has the right to continue to defend itself. They will have to destroy all of Israel now. Particularly all hospitals, schools, every home where the Israeli terrorists live in, and every kindergarden where there is a Israeli command centre, and all of Israels infrastructure of terror.

Israel can nuke Iran if they wish. No one would care. They can do it either before Iran destroys Israel, or try to do it afterwards, when there nuclear facilities and shit already been hit.

I do not follow the Iranian media, so perhaps you should be worried. Its not good when the truth has an opposition bias.

We know from Ukraine that seriously degrading air defences is hideously difficult and takes years, not months, days, or hours, so the assumption has to be that "nope, the IDF did not do that". Do you have any other cope cages you would like to share with us, or are you willing to accept the counter strike was performance art calibrated carefully to avoid further escalation?

Hitting all the S-300ds is exactly what did not happen. See Ukraine for how ludicrously hard it is to degrade air defences.

Asgard, Bibi will not go to jail for as long as he can keep conflicts simmering and puttering away. Think of that every time the IDF reports it has done some military stuff on the 7 fronts Bibi has managed to activate.

Yes, we know. Facts are inherently anti-zionist and thus magically become talking points of [insert nepharious sounding country or organization here].

Ukraine has taught us that military capability does not magically melt away just because you fire drop a few tons of bombs or fire missiles at it.

Iran is big. Israel is small. You cannot defeat it kinetically without using nukes.

Incidentally, if I had been interested in scoring cheap points, I would be talking about what is going on along the line of contact in Ukraine and how it is playing out the way I said it inevitably had to unless Russia lost the will to fight (which might have happened. I was willing to give the summer-23 counter offensive a shot before calling it).

But I dont really need to make cheap points like that. All I am doing in this thread is grounding hype somewhat. Israel cannot do to Iran what people here want to beleive Israel has done to Iran. At least without using nukes.

What we have seen is kinetic performance art carefully gauged to avoid an Iranian tit-for-tat response. Israel is leveraging Iran's inherent disintrest in an armed conflict with Israel.

What I think you should do? Well occupy Gaza with boots on the ground permanently. Reestablish order, build up the communities. Try to give people living there something to lose. It will take decades, but that is really the only viable way forward now.

I am not critical of the fact of ground operations in gaza in other words. The way it is done and the ultimate goal are probably very flawed. But it is still on course to the only viable solution, so I am not critical of it beyond the obvious human cost it currently entails. The IDF has to do better in other words. And you need to formulate a coherent endgame along the lines I am suggesting.

Lebanon is...well...7 fronts?? That is really what is considered a smart idea to fight on at the same time? Well you do you.

It’s this dimwit idea that, if not for Netanyahu (wanting to stay iut of jail), none of this would have happened, ans Jerguls retarded prediction would have come true. Because the things and stuff in the ME, the conflict and the events that unfolded last year are no more complex than that :-)

Meanwhile Israeli leader of the opposition expressed his disappointment in the strike on the Islamic republic. It is more than the ordinary mathematical retardation though, it is retardation of empathy. Regardless of why or what is motivating Netanyahu to do anything, he has done what is right for Israel.

The reason those 4 deaths trickled through is because they are in the proper Iranian military (artesh) and not IRGC (sepah). They were conscripts, their death more difficult to hide, and no doubt the Artesh has more good standing than the IRGC with the people. Compared to tye celebration videos that come out of Iran, every time an IRGC commander has been killed.

Low resolution information, for low IQ people, courtesy of IRIB.

Meanwhile, at the night of the attack, riot police on horse back were on the streets of Tehran, just to give a reference point where the priorities of the regime are and what they fear.

Hopefully that's enough to make the Islamic Republic conserve the missiles and drones they've already got.

Iran does not have any S400ds. I know that Israel is claiming it hit S300ds around Teheran. It is fine that the NYT is quoting Israel on that.

I know that S300ds in Ukraine proved to be incredibly robust. It took Russia years to seriously degrade the coverage those provided. So, yes, I would take Israeli claims with a pinch of salt.

I see what you might be alluding to. A Bulgarian source suggests Iran took its first delivery of some S400 components a few weeks ago. Perhaps that is true and perhaps Israel hit the warehouse the components were stored in. Thus destroying "all S400ds". I would not write off that possibility.

Talking about leaving cults. 30,000 jews does no longer want to live in the Zionist cult. Oops!


285% spike in Israelis leaving country

The number of Israelis who left the country permanently surged 285 per cent following 7 October, according to data published in the Times of Israel. Reports from Channel 12 News, based on data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), indicate an unprecedented increase in October 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

Latest reports of the exodus of Israelis confirms data published two months after the 7 October attack which showed that nearly half a million people left Israel. It also showed a significant decline in the number of Jewish immigrants arriving in Israel. A second survey among Israelis living abroad conducted in March by the Hebrew University on the initiative of the World Zionist Organisation revealed that 80 per cent said that they do not intend to return to Israel.

The data from CBS suggests that many Israelis who have the option of a second home abroad choose to relocate during times of heightened conflict, seeking safety and stability elsewhere. This trend stands in stark contrast to the claims made by proponents of Zionism who argue that Israel is the ultimate sanctuary for Jews worldwide.

There was also an increase in Israelis moving abroad in the months before the war, amid mass protests against the government’s judicial overhaul plan, with an increase of 51 per cent in June-September 2023 compared to 2022.

”Israel destroyed all of Iran’s air defence systems” - Nimatzo

LOL Nimatzo.

You need to stop listening to Zionist propaganda.

Here. Listen from 2:23 and onward:

http://www.youtube.com/live/txkNk76E3SI

Israel’s got scared and cancelled their 2nd and 3rd wave of attack. They were locked on by another air defence system (Russian) that is unknown to them, so they got scared and scrapped the attack. Israel’s first wave just released their missiles before getting in range. They never got near Teheran. The few air defence systems that got damaged was a couple that was close to the border of Iraq, and then an abandoned IRGC building was also damaged.

Lol, Nimatzo.

It is as I have explained before. Israel are only good at attacking and murdering babies, children and women. When it comes to fighting armed men, they can’t do it.

While I still think a response from the Islamic republic is still not likely, I am less sure as more data has emerged.

Several regime mouth pieces have, even some really stupid ones, have realized that part of the Israeli tactic is to allow the Islamic republic to downplay the damage and save face, while getting groped behind the shed.

Khamenei himself in his speech after the attacks, said do no downplay and do not exaggerate. However late to the game, it seems honesty about reality is a new found virtue.

There there is this well known account on twitter @MahdiFinizadeh, with connections inside the regimes security apparatus, trustworthy. He posted something in farsi that was then quickly erased:

"I was finally able to make contact.. significant losses...true promise 3 (name of the missiles attacks) is on the table... unfortunately"

Rumor is that the damage to the air deference was impactful, radar was hacked minuted before the attacks and so they where by and large useless. None of this should be surprising, given that the same type of air deference technology has done absolute jack shit for Syria, which has become a training grounds for Israeli pilots. Making the third time Soviet/Russian air defenses emerge as completely useless against American technology, see Operation Mole Cricket 19.

So the last time non western air defenses had any kind of parity, managing to shoot down western planes was the 6 day war.

In summary, there is no a risk that the Islamic republic will respond, some shift in attitude has taken place.

Nimatzo’s brain must have been hacked by the Zionists. That is likely what has happened.

Iran is more powerful and organized in its defenses than Israel and the US imagined. This is the conclusion by many. Iran and Russian technology helped to stave off a (according to Israel) massive and devastating attack consisting of American technology.

From da comments:

” When have you or anyone ever heard of Israel "pulling their punches" especially against Iran? The answer is never.
Iran's defense system did it's job and the u.s. and Israel were horrified. Let's just give proper credit were it is due.”


” The joint Israeli US attack was planned to be executed over 10 to 12 hours in 6 or more waves. The initial attack was 3 waves against Iran's air defense - a SEAD attack = suppression of enemy air defenses - to be followed by more waves of attack against major Iranian assets. But the Iran + Russian air defenses held up and downed most of the 200+ Israeli missiles. The Israeli attack had then to be aborted as any planes entering Iran’s air space would definitely be destroyed, and the US tanker aircraft fleet required to refuel 100+ Israeli jets during the series of attacks had to abort to Cyprus. The US is now in the cross-hairs from local militia because they jammed & suppressed the Syrian air defence - Israel took out some Syrian air defence - to give a corridor of attack. Israel intended much worse in the further attacks but was defeated at the first hurdle, so don't believe all the BS propaganda that this was a small measured Israeli attack. The west lies about everything, all the time.”



” Nobody launches 100x aircraft for "a limited strike".

Israel meant to go in all guns blazing but they shat it when Iran's air defense was able to get lock on their stealth systems before they even reached Iran's border so they panicked, chucked a few missiles at Tehran then about turned and showed a clean pair of heels.”



Russian technology > American technology
