In just six days, Israel has changed the Middle East forever. We’re witnessing what I believe is the most stunning and masterful military and intelligence campaign in history. And while most people surely realize that Israel’s successes are impressive, I’m not sure the moment is properly understood or appreciated. So, let me try and put things in perspective. Israel, a country roughly 22,000 square kilometres in size, with a population of approximately 10 million, has completely dismantled Iran – a country that is 1.6 million square kilometres in size and that has a population of 90 million. If we’re talking land – that’s 72 times the size of Israel – and nearly 10 times the population. This is mind-boggling. If we look at land mass, it would be like Cuba taking out the United States. If we focus on population, think about Maine overwhelming Pennsylvania. Then take into account that there’s about 1500 kilometres between the two countries, with Israel carrying out strikes at least 2300 kilometres away, depending on how far into Iran they’ve travelled. Again – unbelievable. But this isn’t all about successes. What we’re seeing is also the result of the greatest political and strategic miscalculation in history – October 7th. In 600 days, Hamas has been decimated, Hezbollah is in tatters, the Assad regime has fallen, and the IDF controls the skies of Iran – regime officials are running for their lives. Yahya Sinwar, Hassan Nasrallah, Ismail Haniyeh, Ibrahim Aqil, Fuad Shukr, Mohammad Deif, Marwan Issa, Hossein Salami, and countless others have been eliminated. Because of unchecked hubris throughout much of the Arab world, chronic and blinding fanaticism, deep delusion, and a complete denial of Jewish and Israeli resolve, our enemies have suffered a catastrophic collapse. I raise these points to underscore the gravity of what’s happening right now. Take it in, be in awe, and understand that the world will never be the same – and that’s a good thing. |

Armaggedon:Why can't they have nukes, Pakistan has nukes, India has, so why not Iran ? It is not like they will be harassing every nation with it, it is a deterrent. It is only Isreal and the US that's restless about Iran having nuclear capabilities. Remember it's Isreal that started this war. Israel stirred the hornet's nest. |

Israel started this war unprovoked. They should take whatever they get. And US should and NATO should stay out of it. |

[quote author=WriterrNg post=135810738][b]So where is Netanyahu right now? In his office? Above ground? Israel succeeded in taking out Iran's military leaders because they took them by surprise and they were all assassinations from Mossad splinter cells inside Iran. Netanyahu claims Israel ‘accurately hit’ nuclear, missile targets The Israeli PM has posted a video of himself outside Beersheba’s Soroka Medical Center, which suffered damage from an Iranian missile attack today. In it, he claims the Israeli military “accurately hit nuclear targets and missile targets, and they [Iran] hit a hospital, where people can’t even get up and run away”. “That’s the whole difference in a democracy that acts according to the law to save itself from these murderers and against these murderers who want to destroy each and every one of us”. Israel has regularly attacked hospitals in its war on Gaza, with officials in the besieged enclave stating that Israel has bombed and burned at least 36 hospitals across the Gaza Strip since the war began in October 2023. |

Boris Johnson says bug was found in his bathroom after Netanyahu used it during a 2017 meeting https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/boris-johnson-says-bug-was-found-in-bathroom-after-2017-meeting-with-netanyahu/ All American politicians fanatically supporting Israel has soon secret SCANDAL of theirs in Israel's hands. It is not surprising therefore, that Epstein's file release, is trending currently in America. As Israel is desperately pressuring American politicians, to launch a costly war on Iran. The name of the game is blackmail and bribery. But Israel is the ultimate loser, because since Oct7 2023, too many Americans have started to wakeup to the fact that the relationship btw Israel and America is one of FORCED SLAVERY. America political system has been enslaved by the global Zionist movement. And the consequences of America featuring in a war on Iran for Israel, will be the final straw that breaks the control of Israel over America. The fallout in America will be stronger than the one of Vietnam riots

lelion:To actually beg? Seems you're not conversant with iran's psychological tactics. In warfare, foes can deliberately appear weak, to strike harder when you least expected; that's exactly what Iran have been doing right from day one - send drones to engage Israel's defense, while using missiles randomly to portray very weak technology - send hypersonic missiles with evasion but randomly, to portray a struggling technology - send hypersonic missiles with evasion and precision to show a better technology If you have a technology with just one principle of perfection , you can easily lose a battle like the game of chess . ...and maybe, we haven't seen the best |

God1000:Israel isn't a match for Iran. Iran could flatten the entire Israel in one day. Despite the weapons/ammunitions USA equipped them with before they summoned the courage to strike Iran,they can't match Iran. Iran is well advanced militarily. Those flat headed guys are always on the losing side and they would come here to rant. Ranting is what they do for a living |

destinychildolu:Does it seem like Israel is interested in taking out pawns? The murderous tyrannical Supreme leader of Iran can throw 5m bodies into this war without flinching. Israel is well aware of this, so it seems the targets are the regime leaders and weaponry. Israel goes for the head, once cut off, they control the group or let internal fracas work an implosion of lawlessness. Anyhow, the goal is Iran will never possess a nuclear weapon. |
