Israel was minding its business in Gaza, Iran leaders decided to go and poke the bear...!


Now, innocent people will pay the price.

If Iran tries too much against Israel, America and other top nations will join the onslaught against them.

America is typically Israel's boy... They can never take any other side.


Iranian leaders are just dumb!

You think is a war between Boko haram and Nigeria army, no African country will survive this kind of advance weapon bombing, 6 hours alone all military bases is gone. Nigeria don’t have that technology.

We should all understand something here. In war, all fighting sides take hits. Israel must have expected these bombardments. I mean, even the most foolish nation will make efforts to fight back.

Now, what's the war objective of Iran? Bombard Israel? Is that all? If yes, then it's pretty weak. Cities can be rebuilt, just a matter of time. But the lives of those high-end officers and scientists? Naaaahhh.

Israel's objectives are clear, and they are achieving it efficiently. Iran will continue sending bombs to Israel, some of those bombs will be intercepted, others will hit.

But Israel appears to be targeting personnel, skilled personnel that once removed, will take years to train others to such level of competence. Again, newbies will even be scared to climb up.

Now let's talk reality: this war isn't some Arsenal-Man U discussion. Lives and properties are lost. Families are destroyed. Means of livelihoods destroyed.

World leaders should learn to explore peaceful options. We must learn to live together..whether Christian or Muslim.

Otherwise, the world our forefathers handed to us will be destroyed....and we'll have nothing to hand to our children, grandchildren, and other descendants.
Serious words of wisdom in the last three paragraphs of this post.

Nigeria that cannot make matches without foreign input!

Iran was sabotaged from within, Israel infiltrated it with spies and even many Iranians are working for Israel as they are tired of their current leader.

As for the executed generals, Netanyahu was giving a speech at the UN and they gathered to watch. Of course Israel got Intel of the location and ensured they gathered for their funeral.

A lot of people don't realize just how exposed Iran is right now. The Israeli Air Force has been operating freely in their airspace for hours, hitting critical targets with terrifying precision. We're talking explosions in central Tehran, key scientists taken out, even their Defense Ministry struck. And yet, despite all this, the regime keeps pumping out propaganda like nothing's happening. Lol

No amount of lies can change the facts. Israel’s strikes are surgical and devastating, for Tehran.
So far Iran’s only answer is to blindly fire rockets and hope for the best. When the dust settles, the world will see the damage. And no amount of lies will cover up the truth
. 🇮🇱🇮🇱
I thought you Israeli supporters said Israel's Iron Dome not penetrable, what happened to the Iranian missiles that is dropping there like manner from heaven? Please explain to us ooo.

You watch too many Hollywood movies kiddo.

Iran’s IRNA news agency reported that five car bombs were detonated in Tehran. The report blamed Israel for the attacks.

Two sources in the Gulf told Reuters that at least 14 Iranian nuclear scientists had been killed in Israeli attacks since Friday, including by car bombs.

The names of nine of the scientists were published by the IDF on Sunday, and it said many of them were successors to Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the “father of the Iranian nuclear project,” who was allegedly assassinated by Israel in 2020.

The Israeli Air Force overnight bombed several Iranian ballistic missile launchers, along with air defense systems and radars, the military said, attaching footage of the strikes.

According to the IDF, some of the launchers that were struck were used to fire missiles at Israel overnight, in barrages that killed at least 10 people.

The IDF said it would continue to “hunt down” ballistic missile launchers in western Iran to prevent attacks on Israel.

Air defenses and radars were also struck “as part of the IDF’s aerial superiority in Iranian airspace,” the military said.



Additionally, some 80 targets in Tehran were hit overnight, according to the IDF.

The targets in the Iranian capital included fuel depots, the Iranian defense ministry headquarters, the “headquarters of the SPND nuclear project,” and other targets related to Iran’s nuclear program.

IAF fighter jets also hit gas infrastructure near Bandar Abbas. The military said the fuel and gas sites were used by Iran for military purposes and for its nuclear project.


On Saturday, jets attacked two fuel depots in Tehran, while Iranian media reported a “massive explosion” following an Israeli drone strike on the South Pars gas field.

The semi-official Tasnim news agency said production of 12 million cubic meters of gas was suspended following the South Pars attack, which resulted in a fire that the Iranian oil ministry said was later extinguished.

Oil fields — crucial to Iran’s economy — were not targeted in the first round of strikes, but a senior Israeli security official warned on Friday that if Iran were to target Israeli population centers with ballistic missiles — which it then did — Israel would target regime leaders and state infrastructure such as oil refineries.

In all, since early Friday, the IDF said it hit 720 separate assets in some 250 strikes in Iran.


Iranian media said Sunday that Israel attacked a facility affiliated with Iran’s defense ministry in the central city of Isfahan.

“One of the centers affiliated with the Ministry of Defense in Isfahan was attacked, and possible damages are under investigation,” ISNA news agency reported, quoting deputy provincial governor Akbar Salehi.

Iranian media also reported strikes on the Shiraz Electronics factory in the city of Shiraz, a company that produces radar and electronic equipment for the Iranian military, according to a US-based watchdog. According to CNN, the facility was destroyed.


Iran claimed Sunday it had arrested two individuals it accused of being members of the Mossad spy agency in Alborz province while they were preparing explosives and electronic devices, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Sunday.

Israel and Iran trade threats
After the IDF warned Iranians to evacuate military facilities in Iran, Defense Minister Israel Katz said Sunday the military “will strike the sites and continue to peel the skin off the Iranian snake in Tehran and everywhere, stripping it of nuclear capabilities and weapons systems.”

“The Iranian dictator is turning Tehran into Beirut and its residents into hostages for the sake of his regime’s survival,” he added.

Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said that the attacks on Israel will only end once Israel halts its military campaign against the Islamic Republic.

“We are defending ourselves; our defense is entirely legitimate,” said Araghchi in a meeting with foreign diplomats, adding that “this defense is our response to aggression. If the aggression stops, naturally our responses will also stop.”

He said that the Israeli strikes on the offshore South Pars gas field Iran shares with Qatar were “a blatant aggression and a very dangerous act.”

“Dragging the conflict to the Persian Gulf is a strategic mistake, and it aims to drag the war beyond Iranian territory,” he said.

Conflict to take ‘weeks, not days,’ officials say
The conflict with Iran will take “weeks, not days,” according to American and Israeli officials quoted by CNN.

The officials said the operation has the White House’s implicit approval, with an Israeli official cited as saying the US president is on board with the weeks-long timeframe.

A US official was quoted as saying, “The Trump administration firmly believes this can be solved by continuing negotiations with the US,” with the exact length of the conflict dependent on Iran’s actions.

Years of hostility between Israel and Iran exploded into open conflict early Friday morning when Israel launched a major offensive against Iran and its nuclear program, hitting nuclear sites, missile bases and top military officials.

Israel said it had no choice but to attack Iran, and that it had gathered intelligence showing that Tehran was approaching “the point of no return” in its pursuit of nuclear weapons.

Military officials said that the IDF was preparing for heavy fire from Iran, but asserted that “at the end of the operation, there will be no nuclear threat” from the Islamic Republic.

Fleeing Iran to go where exactly?


It is actually the opposite, isrealis are Fleeing isreal to the extent the government has announced restrictions on travel.

Isreal already begging U.S to come save them from Iran. And begging Nato countries to help them intercept Iran missles.


Do u know what's more interesting, isreali is literally behaving like boko haram inside Iran, planting car bombs here & their to create chaos.

And some idiots like hegelian& Botragelad even believe Iran is running out of rockets😂😂😂😂 when isreali is busy taking serious pounding from mostly old stuff.

I hope for peace to reign AFTER ISREAL has taken very serious beating & learn some manners!
