    Iran's state-run rolling news channel IRINN, in a running caption, has confirmed reports of strikes on 28 February in Tehran, following what Israel described as a "pre-emptive attack" against Iran.

    The broadcaster briefly experienced an audio interruption around 06:30 GMT, before resuming programming, displaying a ticker reporting plumes of smoke and the sound of explosions in parts of the capital.

    IRINN subsequently aired pre-recorded footage of pro-establishment rallies accompanied by music and archive remarks from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei calling for unity against "enemies", alongside interviews with supporters of the Islamic Republic opposing foreign intervention.

  3. Sirens have sounded across Israelpublished at 01:54

    Sirens sounded across Israel at around 08:15 local time (06:15 GMT), alerting people of the threat of a possible missile attack. The Israeli strikes happen amid diplomatic efforts between US and Iranian officials for a deal to curb Iran’s nuclear programme and avert a war, and negotiations were expected to continue next week.

    Iran had made concessions in the talks, although US President Donald Trump - who had previously threatened to attack Iran to put pressure on its leaders to accept a deal - said yesterday he was not “thrilled” with the way the discussions were going.

    Trump has ordered the largest US military build-up in the Middle East since the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, but has done little to explain why there could be the need to take military action now. Iran, meanwhile, has vowed to respond to an attack with force.

    The Israeli defence minister, Israel Katz, said the “pre-emptive strike” was to “remove threats against the State of Israel”. Last June, Israel launched an attack on Iran, leading to the 12-Day War. The US eventually joined Israel in the conflict, targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities.

    Recently, the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had warned of what they described as a threat posed to his country by Iran’s ballistic missiles, and expressed his opposition to a deal that focused only on Iran’s nuclear programme.

    Iran had rejected discussing limits to its ballistic missile programme as well as ending its support for proxies in the region, including Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, militias in Iraq, and the Houthis in Yemen, saying those demands were a breach of its sovereignty.

Welp... all that  AND we have soldiers in the Persian Gulf in the largest military mobilization since the Iraq War in 2003... be prepared to suit up and die for Israel fellow goys!
 
Boots on the ground in Iran is going to suck. Even if they wipe out a ton of defenses with missiles that place is a geographical stronghold. Hope it’s a quick decapitation of leadership kind of thing but I can’t see this not being a super prolonged deal

I watched a doc on YT about the Lut Desert in Iran. It gets so hot it literally melted the guys shoes when he stood still for too long and all his electronics failed. The vehicle barely survived and they constantly had to find shade behind mountainous rocks to avoid overheating and certain death. The surface temperature was recorded over 160f before all the equipment failed. The rocks were burned black and the only life were grasshopper-like insects which only came out at night.

That’s insane. I don’t even know how you’d handle that logistically with body armor and the likes. Maybe we will finally see the drone capabilities of the US ala Ukraine conflict. Sounds like a cool documentary though I will try to find it

This again? Maybe third times a charm but you(and fatback and hhh) said this when we attack Iran the first time and when we yoink Maduro. Yet I've seen zero boots on the ground. Sincerely doubt i will this time either

They already tried air strikes on Iran and a "decapitating" attack on Venezuela. What did those achieve?

The recent color revolution efforts failed also.

If Israel wants the Iranian government gone, it will have to be US ground forces who do it.

They can probably avoid this desert entirely but it really highlights how the entire region is inhospitable.

Here's the doc I was talking about.
 
For anybody dooming about a forever war:

What's most likely going to happen is we'll be content to sit back and flatten Muhammed from the other side of the planet until he gives up or we put a missile up his nose. We're not looking for one singular sandnigger playing Half-Life in hiding in an ocean of sand, caves, and other sandniggers here; we know exactly which targets we want to level to get capitulation.

In the unlikely event we have US soldiers on the ground in any scale greater than bringing Maduro to a sleepover it will not be like what you remember of the Department of Defense days. Back then, engaging the enemy had to be done under extremely specific terms, oftentimes requiring a lengthy approval process up the chain of command in the case of ambushes. Our guys were made to fight hogtied, and this is on top of all of the gay (literal) bullshit in general the government pushed into everything, including the armed forces.

Hegseth's Department of War (presumably) isn't bound by the same limitations, and in this unlikely scenario I'd expect it not to pull punches.

Which makes him totally different from every other past president or the whole congress.
If only Kamala would have won. She would definitely have told those Israelis to go fuck themselves and fight their own wars without the US help.

Just because almost every single Zogmerican politician is a slave to Israel doesn't mean that Zion Don should get an easier ride. Kamala is a drunk retarded diversity hire who would have been an absolute disaster, but she's not president, Zognald is.
