Israel should use that to their advantage. Would also spoil the relationship with Iran and Barry's team

Arabian wolves   Link to article

A  9-year-old girl who was camping with her family in the Negev in southern Israel was dragged out of her tent by a wolf overnight on Friday,  The attack began when the wolf tore open the tent, bit the girl and then pulled her outside while she was still sleeping, according to the girl’s father, Arnon.

“We woke up to her screaming....the wolf grabbed her by the head and dragged her for about 15 meters.”

[Her father] said the wolf continued to prowl between tents at the campground after the attack.

Uh, how would Israel get ground forces to Iran? How would they keep them supplied? Israel doesn't possess any sort of amphibious capability, they won't be invading from the gulf.

Lots of Arab countries hate Iran, and would maybe allow Israel to fly over, or possibly even stage aircraft out in the middle of nowhere in their territory. No one would allow Israeli troops to cross in order to invade Iran.

It won't matter ... Israel won't be after their systems ... if Syria and Lebanon can't engage IDF F35 planes running deep strikes into their territory ... Iran won't be able to do it either ... IDF will go after their highest valued prized targets: nuke plants and their military industry complex ... once again ... Russian/Chinese military based tech will get embarrassed on the world stage ... plus I wouldn't be surprised if the Saudis and Jordanians don't join the IDF's efforts to go bingo on Iran ...

Somehow I don't thin Israel will strike at nuke plants mainly because they don't want to be the reason for the release of radioactive material. They may set about to close the entrances to the places where they think the Iranians are working on nuclear weapons. They don't have to destroy them, just seal them off. Problem solves itself. Military weapons production plants would certainly be a target as would military comms. They might choose to strike ports and oil/gas production facilities to start cutting off their money supply (except for what Xiden supplies them)

Not sure if this has been posted previously but thought it was an interesting video and would like to hear what others think of it.

I’m inclined to agree with the author of the video and it probably won’t come as a surprise to many on this forum.

TLDW - the Iranian strike was kinetic diplomacy and countries have used this form of diplomacy for some time. I think this has been alluded to in many threads in the past but without a name.

Why Iran's attack on Israel was simple 'Kinetic Diplomacy'

Find the air shafts, then do similar to what people are talking about in the groundhog thread. Only with a suitable binary agent that can get through any filters.

I think they will; they pretty much have to at this point.

I just don't think they'll be able to do anything more than a few symbolic strikes in order to not give Iran an excuse to escalate and to placate the Biden Administration.

"Kinetic Diplomacy"  What a crock of woke bullshit. I'm sure our guys who were killed and injured in IED and rocket attacks in Iraq would appreciate that. Iran deserves our wrath and whatever they've got coming to them.

There will be a strike inside Iran.   Israel does not have a choice and has likely been salivating for a few days over this opportunity.  

It may be precise and limited, but the Hebrew nation will strike fairly soon.

If Iran really wanted to set the Israelis back, kill those red heifers.  No heifer, no sacrifice, no demolition of the Rock of the Golden Dome & no WW III.

Pray for peace.  Humanity doesn't need WW III.

The beat goes on.  

It seems that the Israeli airstrike in the district of Tyre in Lebanon targeted a very prominent leader in Hezbollah militias.  Some reports mentioned his name ( Abu Jaafar Baz).  Israel is infiltrating within the ranks of Hezbollah, the #IRGC militias, and all militias in the region. Look at the daily scale of assassinations and the wide range of targets that Israel possesses.

Related?  Who knows.


Video purported to be from Iran showing a person burning a picture of the IRGC officers killed recently. Caption on picture/paper is in English, so this was obviously intended for a Western audience.

Why attack when it is expected?
I'd wait a few days, then launch tankers, followed by attack aircraft, then bring them back. Repeat as necessary to wear down Iranian defenses. Then, let the dogs loose.

QFT.  Talking to each other and reopening embassies does not equal becoming friends.  Saudi Arabia was an obsession of Khomeini's long before he came to power in Iran.  Since 1979, Iranians sponsored groups have rioted in Mecca--at least 400 dead, killed Saudis and Americans in terror attacks inside the kingdom, sponsored Shia militant groups in Saudi Arabia and allies like Bahrain, and attacked Saudi oil infrastructure and cities.  Iranian clerics see Saudi guardianship of Mecca and Medina as disgraceful.

For their part, Saudi financed pamphlets condemning the Shia sect have caused violent attacks throughout the Muslim world, causing at least 4K dead in Pakistan alone.  They also provide facilities used by us, The Great Satan, to project power in the Greater Middle East.

This history did not disappear in 2023.
