   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.

That's Ellen DeGeneres' vastly more talented brother, btw. Fun fact, they still regularly do reunion shows.

Sorry, I was wrong. He was in the Cold, a different much equally influential new wave band from New Orleans. In my defense, I have a raging head cold. No, wait, he was in both.

Agree with your post, but to expand on this: the issue is not simply Israel vs Iran. They aren’t doing shit at the moment, but the other countries in the region benefit from this, and definitely are happy that the Great and Little Satans are doing this. If anyone in the region is going to have nukes, they’d prefer it to be Israel, as it only fucks over Palestinians backed by Iran, than Iran which actively destabilises their regimes.

Agreed.
A lot of people still don't seem to understand that there is an ongoing Cold-ish War within Islam, and the Iranians would love to take out the Saudis and be able to control Mecca.

Probably late, but Ali Khamenei is presumed to be dead.

I'm giving it three days to determine whether orange man bad kikeslave ZOGbot Israeli puppet Hebrew shill or whether it's another nothingburger. I learned my lesson from the B2 Bombapalooza last year.

Not hard to determine. Trump, Mr. 'No new wars, release the Epstein files, deport them all, tariffs, bring back industry' who has done a bit fat fucking nothing of those. Meanwhile he is bombing sandy shitholes risking American lives and rimming all the kikes in his cabinet on the regular with billions more sent off to pissreal as US infrastructure crumbles.

But yeah, take your time.

Since I posted, we've learned that Khamenei's already dead, so I already feel pretty vindicated about waiting on having some kind of fit. I wonder why you feel it necessary to convince others to share in your emotional reaction.

White people are going to die for jewish wars again. Will Americans finally unleash their fury against their occupied government once the draft starts? I wonder if the philosemites are brazen enough to give Tucker and Cenk the Charles Coughlin treatment.

Stop being retarded there will be no draft. Also stop obsessing over the jews

 

[Cthulus Nutsack]

Remember last year when 'targeted strikes' were carried out on Iran and we were told there would be no war on Iran because their nuclear sites were destroyed.

I guess Israel had other ideas.

No but I remember people like you screeching something about forever wars. Then I remember the massive protests in Iran against their own government and every retard online trying to figure out how to link that to the jews. It ironic how the jews manage to live RENT FREE in so many people's heads. Will the fall of Iran be good for Israel? Yes but it will be good for the Iranians as well

Reply to this post again once the Iranian regime gets destroyed/backs down and de-escalate and opens the Strait of Hormuz in the next 72 hours.

I'm not dumb enough to think anything is that easy and I hope you're not that stupid either. They wanted their leaders dead and it's done. Reply back to me when our soldiers start building bases in Iran and our government tries rebuilding the country bc that is what a forever war is.

The fucking irony is thick enough you could take a melonballer to it.

I dont think you understand irony. Yes Israel is involved but Iran has been a thorn in the side of many people not just muh jews. Do believe all of the protesters in iran were jews as well? Are the Iranians that fled to other nations just jews in disguise? Can you just for one fucking moment ignore Israel and say "yeah this will be better for the Iranian people"

Boots on the ground, in the era of de-industrialized Weimar America to do the bidding of jews. Fell for it again award.

Once again this is nothing like George Bush. The regime hasn't even been toppled
