    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.

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.

Nigger-tier reasoning that completely ignores n-order effects. It's debatable whether decapitation can result in capitulation - even if a large portion of Iranians hate the the regime they're not going to welcome a foreign invasion. You saw that with a reformist like Pezeshkian's response to the protests in January and how fast he went from believing they were reasonable to cracking down on them once they started suspecting Israeli/US involvement.

What happens if they target civilian oil installations or close the Strait of Hormuz? A bunch of starving 80IQ sandniggers were able deny enough shipping in the Red Sea (despite the kike-worshipper Hegseth's attempts to stop it) to drive up shipping insurance premiums enough to no longer make shipping through there economical. This is a country of 90 million people that believes it is in an existential war for survival and one of the busiest shipping lanes on the planet. There are plenty of knock-on effects that are possible here, none of which would put the average American in a better place.

It doesn't really matter what they want, because a nigger-tier government demands nigger-tier reasoning. We told them "no, you can't have the bomb or the enrichment". We told them that every talk. The ragheads in charge have decided every time, for some mysterious reason (nuke the infidels), not to budge an inch on the topic. It doesn't matter what the average Iranian wants at this point, because we have determined their nigger-tier government will not give up on the bomb. None of these knock-on effects matter because Iran was damned and determined to get the bomb and leverage it for infinite jihad and cause these exact problems anyway. I don't give a shit for Israel itself, but there can't be any denying that the second they got the thing they'd point it square at Tel Aviv and say "let us have X or we do final holy war". They're 80IQ muzzies. Maybe it is nigger-tier reasoning, but they've demonstrated nigger-tier obstinance every time the topic comes up.

Iran isn't a disparate collection of goat raping tribes within arbitrary lines like Afghanistan or a collection of slightly less stupid tribes held together by a strongman like Iraq. Iranians are literate, intelligent people.

The US will not face any resistance to an air campaign, the USAF could level Tehran from the sky but I don't see what that would actually achieve short of a fucking massive humanitarian disaster.

When Obongo was president relations thawed to the extent you could jump on a British Airways flight from Heathrow to Tehran in 2016 for the first time in years. Zognald's tactics have been designed to provide a justification for an invasion, his masters have no interest in anything else.

When I say 'Iran' I'm referring to its current government; not the average person caught up in its bullshit. Islam is a poison that ruins everything it ends up touching.

Nigger shut the fuck up with this WMD bullshit, how stupid are you to fall for this shit over and over again?

About as stupid as they are for breaking down talks every time enrichment comes up. They've been at this bullshit since the nineties, and the US isn't even the only country they've tried to be all sneaky-sneaky with about it. They've pulled this game with European regulators, and it's not exactly a mystery why. Yes, I choose to believe the biggest reason they want it is to leverage it for more sandbox bullshit.
 
Just one more strike on Iran, bro, please! Just one quick little strafing run, to take the edge off, bro. Remember the WMDs bro? They might be there, man, we didn't check that hard- it's been years maybe they got more. Just let me get a quick strike in. Just one drone? Please?

Even if we did put boots on the ground in Iran you might never hear about it. Not hearing about a military operation doesn’t mean shit.

It means the military operation is going very well and likely headed by spooks if you dont hear about.

It's my comfy nigger take and I'm sticking to it. We can laugh at me when the sun comes up and the Farms are still standing. If I wake up tomorrow and see 'Persia' on the atlas again though that would be cool.
