Israel Launches Retaliatory Counterstrike On Iran
IDF: “In response to months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel—right now the Israel Defense Forces is conducting precise strikes on military targets in Iran.”
Multiple reports indicate that Israel has launched strikes on Iran in retaliation for the Iranian ballistic missile attack a month ago. The timing and extent of the counterstrike has been the subject of intense speculation.
CAUTION – As in all these situations, initial reports can be wrong, sometime intentionally. There is a long history on the internet of images and video from other conflicts being posted. We will try to rely and post sources who usually are reliable. If it turns out that an image/video/report is fake, we will remove it.
The IDF Spokesman has confirmed:
In response to months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel—right now the Israel Defense Forces is conducting precise strikes on military targets in Iran. The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since October 7th—on seven fronts—including direct attacks from Iranian soil. Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has the right and the duty to respond. Our defensive and offensive capabilities are fully mobilized. We will do whatever necessary to defend the State of Israel and the people of Israel.

Israel has started their attack against Iran, Fox News can confirm.
The strikes are meant to send a message of deterrence, I’m told.
There was communication with the Americans ahead of the strikes over the past several days.

Iran's Fars news agency says several military bases near Tehran have been targeted by Israel.

Compared to initial reporting weeks ago that predicted a huge #Israel response on #Iran, tonight's strikes don't appear — so far — to have been anywhere near so expansive.
No more than 2 or 3 targets hit — all #IRGC, around #Tehran.

ANALYSIS – As of this writing, 8:30 p.m Easten, it appears that the strike was limited, but that could change, particularly if Iran fires more ballistic missiles. The Israelis (I think Netanyahu, not sure) have been saying that the fight with Iran could go on for a while, so this may just be the opening salvo limited under Biden/Harris pressure, with the bigger attack coming once Iran responds. Just a thought.
Breaking: American officials announce that Israel informed them that attacks on Iran will last 12 hours.

Obama is on his prayer rug.
Biden’s in bed.
Kamala Harris is drunk.
The one with the mirror in front of it?
Exactly. The idea that 0bama is or has ever been Moslem has always been ridiculous and without foundation. The only god 0bama has ever worshiped is himself.
The only god Barry hussein worships is Barry hussein.
Hopefully Israel annihilates islamic barbarism
IMO a proportionate response is correct, for now. The Iranian people are largely innocent parties and we do not want to wreck the country if it can be helped. For example, oil prices could double, which would definitely affect our economy. The message to Iran’s mullahs should be, “This is a warning that you and the regimes you finance and arm should stop it, or the next response will be far from proportionate.”
Politically, I think this helps Trump. By filling the news cycles, it hurts the person behind, which I think is Harris. Also, IMO only an idiot would choose Harris over Trump if people add WAR to their list of worries.
I don’t disagree that this should help Trump, but I believe your concern for world economy on the basis of disruption of Iran’s oil production is a bit dated. A quick glance through the internet suggests that Iran produces less than 4% of the world’s oil nowadays and that 90% of what Is produced goes to China. I would imagine that the Russians would love to sell some of their oil to China to make up any shortfall.
Yes but the traders will bid the price of the futures up and usually the price follows. At least until the rest of the world realizes the validity of your numbers.
Here is a professional’s point of view from 3 weeks ago:
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/03/oil-prices-could-soar-if-israel-targets-irans-energy-infrastructure.html
proportionate?
then that would in fact entail a complete annihilation of iran
you seem to believe this should JUST be for the recent Iranian caused violence
the iranians have been on a tear along with their bros for a lot longer than oct 7 2023 or oct1 2024 missile attacks launched into israel
and the israeli people are ALSO a largely innocent party and so on
Overwhelming force is how you win a fight, a battle, and a war. A “proportional response” does nothing but prolong the battle, and it costs lives. It’s immoral, and it’s wrong.
If you got into the ring with Mike Tyson, do you think that a “proportional response” would be the right call, the way to win?

A U.S. Air Force E-3B “Sentry” Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircraft which has been operating for the last few hours in the Eastern Mediterranean off the Coast of Cyprus, is now returning to Crete, indicating that an Israeli Strike against Iran is likely not Imminent.

The Betting Odds on Polymarket for an “Israeli Military Response against Iran by Friday” went from less than 25% to 90-100% only minutes after it was reported Explosions had been heard in the Iranian Capital of Tehran and that Strikes had begun.
If it was weather delayed, they’re using airplanes.
They are only doing it for clicks and to claim victim status.
Whom do you mean?
Israel in this instance, but every act is for an ulterior motive.
The comment was sarcasm.
rhardin, is that you?
Damn. And here I thought the Israelis were using trebuchets.
G_d speed to those brave men and women.
Gotta love their strategic sense.
Two days ago: F*g Americans spilled the beans, we will have to postpone our attack,
Today: Surpriiiiiiise!
good do it now while the fjbharris war machine is in full gear b/c just like vietnam
the msm wont blame the warmongering dems for what they ONCE again have caused
fjbharris admin LOOKING FOR EXCUSES on why they need to ostracize Israel and will use any chance they get to do so
the dnc will claim ( and they might be correct…but for the wrong reasons) that the Israelis are no longer a major ally b/c they wont share info etc etc
after of course
the dnc operatives pushing out classified info
AS AN ASIDE…
so trump was/is “guilty” of having legit classified papers( according to lefty)
but the leaking of scotus info and military info is just a whodunit????
2nd wave of the attack is underway.
Iran had it coming. Godspeed IDF.
Interesting differences in capability on display. IDF waltzes in to Iran with their airforce to actually hit important targets…Iran not so much. Gotta fire drones and missiles and hope they hit something other than a Palestinian in the Wedt Bank 😂
I don’t know about you guys but when will someone in the media ponder the question of “if only Iran used those hundreds of billions of dollars given to them by Obama to improve the lives of the Iranian people instead of waging war against Iran how different would the world be today?”.

“IDF waltzes in to Iran with their airforce to actually hit important targets…Iran not so much.”
What do you expect when a 21st century society battles a 6th century society? Iran would be way more comfortable with war camels. Most of their warheads blink 12:00, 12:00, 12:00.
Shouldn’t the President and Vice President be at the White House ?
It’s more Israel taking advantage of an opportunity to destroy some capability, not retaliation. The other side is into retaliation.
These are pinprick attacks.
The “ proportional response” advocated by the U S is a losing strategy.
Our generals should be ashamed of themselves for the losses in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Israel is crushing Hamas and Hezbollah by ignoring American advice.
They may be waiting for a Trump win before attacking the Iranian nuclear sights
would imagine barry is getting a little puckered–and fjb–and kerry and the hildebeast
all those empty promises / guarantees / assurances backed with pallets of cash going up in smoke
most of the folks in the middle east have long memories and an almost biblical sevse of justice–when they’ve been cheated / deceived / punk’d they retaliate
