Israel needs to tell the US to sit down and shut up. Is the US really afraid this will get to the point overnight where one CSG can't handle it?

Sounds like more stalling. The US is trying to put it off and put it off until Israel can't afford to keep all the reservists activated anymore and the world support for a ground invasion is gone.

The Public Conscription Organization of Iran has announced that the mandatory military service for all conscripts in the country has been reduced by three months.

According to a statement by the organization, a subdivision of Law Enforcement Command of the Islamic Republic of Iran (Faraja), the reduction in service duration is part of a plan to overhaul the military service aimed at achieving more fairness.

The decision was taken following a proposal from the General Staff of the Armed Forces and the approval of Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Armed Forces.

The revised service duration, which is now applicable to all conscripts, will be determined based on their specific service location and the nature of their assigned missions. It will range from a minimum of 14 months up to a maximum of 21 months.

Israel's Shin Bet security service and Police force jointly interrogated six detainees from Gaza who participated in the destruction and mass murder of October 7, 2023.

The footage from the interrogation was released on Monday and showed selected clips from six separate interrogations.

Each terrorist had a slightly different experience, but Israeli intelligence forces noted a number of common themes. All the Hamas agents were given explicit instructions to kill and kidnap civilians including the elderly along with women and children. While they did this, their commanders stayed behind in Gaza.

The reward for terrorism
One of the terrorists told Israeli forces that "whoever brings a hostage back [to Gaza] gets $10,000 and an apartment."

They said that the plan had been to take over the towns they attacked and hold positions there once they had finished killing and kidnapping the residents

The video released by the Shin Bet and the police shows the various Hamas operatives going into extreme detail about their activities on the morning of October 7. "The instructions were to kidnap women and children," said one. Another described an encounter with a dead body, saying: "Her body was lying on the floor. I shot her, and my commander yelled at me for wasting bullets on a dead body."

They made it clear that when it came to murder, they were not to distinguish between civilians and soldiers.

"When we finished," another Hamas operative said, "we burned two houses."

One described entering a house after his comrades had already shot a man living there. "Two [terrorists] went into the house ... we heard voices inside. Another two came in. There was one lying on the floor next to the door. I don't know if he was dead, but there was blood next to him. Inside there was one wounded man... I think a whole family. In their pajamas. The wounded man was in his underwear. A woman came out wearing a dress... then another with a dress. [Then] a boy and a girl."

He continued: "We went to the next house. From there, they took out a woman. An old woman."

He was then asked if these family members were used as human shields, and answered "Yes."

Another terrorist, who was at Be'eri, told interrogators: "When I entered the town, I saw two [terrorists] on a motorbike. They took a woman about 60-65 years old [with them] on the motorbike."

"Where did they take her?" the interrogator asked.

"To Gaza."

The footage cuts to a later part of the same terrorist's account. "After Suleiman and Karem killed that woman from the town... they took someone, a man about 40-45 years old... and took him."

"Took him where?"

"To Gaza."

The terrorists also describe a variety of other horrific activities including using smoke to force civilians out of their shelter and shooting several pets. Although the footage is heavily cut, many of their stories feature dead bodies lying on the ground and people crying and trying to run away.

At the end of the video, each of the Hamas agents was asked if what they did was permissible in Islam. They all answered the same way: "No. Islam does not permit the killing of women and children."

It’s a bit nuanced but as long as they hold the hostages the pressure will be against Israel to invade.

Keep in mind they will hold US hostages and there will be us citizens in the form of Palestinians in Gaza for a long time.

The longer this goes the harder it is for Israel to push in.

Misdirection?  Reduced duration of conscription means a smaller standing army, which signals deescalation, which seems like the opposite of everything else they're doing.

Iran used to have conscription buy outs, $10k-20K payment to the state to skip the draft.  They dropped it awhile back, last year an attempt to reinstate it was too unpopular and failed.  Could be the elites are easing conscription for the masses to get the conscription buy outs for their kids reinstated.  

Actually it doesn't say when the reduced duration goes into effect, perhaps this is a promise to reduce conscription later to reinstate buyouts now, which would actually be rather ominous.

They are currently in the hands of the Red Cross.

NEW: We've isolated the unbroken dispatch audio from the time of the pro-Palestine demonstration on Hennepin Ave as it was reported that a vehicle drove through the barriers and people were chasing after it and as a report of shots fired was made during a confrontation with the driver.

At least two MPD supervisors told police to stay away from the area "out of sight."

This whole thing is problematic:

-That groups are allowed to gather in the roadway and shut down traffic on a main artery setting up a high-tension and dangerous situation with zero attempt to disperse them

-That police are told not to respond even as a dangerous situation evolves with a car driving through the protest area and a report of shots being fired

The audio comprises all of the dispatches from 3:19 p.m. to 3:27 p.m. as the situation developed.

I guess its likely they can do this and delay the IDF invasion..  I wonder if now the entirety of the liberal world will demand the IDF completely stop the inbound destruction "while we wait for hamas to release the rest of the hostages"  surely the IDF wont fall for that, its the same trick as falling for those tig old socialist biddies
