I wonder how and at what point Russia will assist their Iranian allies. I doubt it will be militarilly, but I assume assymetrically. So intelligence gathering and relaying and possibly subversion and terrorist assistance.

Additional details from an Israeli security source: When the initial wave was launched, that included the targeting of IRGC leadership and scientists, more than 20 sites were hit in less than 15 minutes amid solely at taking out these individuals. The Israelis ramped up intel gathering over the past year, preparing for this moment. They identified exact apartments and offices of their targets. The strikes were more successful than the Israelis expected they would be, I'm told.

With what? And how?

They cant even prosecute their own back yard scrap of a Civil War

Who are they going to subvert and terrorise - they could, in one move go from SMO to all out war

They couldn't even assist the previous Syrian regime

They will not risk that - Russia is a busted flush

If we did but know it, they probably always have been

Remind me - where did Hamas practice and prepare for the 7 October attack from Gaza (denied of course)

What goes around comes around

Be a shame if Israel happened to strike the Iranian drone making facilities that are being utilized against Ukraine.

Drones being built to operate in Ukraine can also be used against Israel - why not destroy them while you are there

Iran's 2 x drone motherships moved out of port to escape air attacks - 6km off coast. Perhaps an IDF SSK will ignore the 22km territorial limit

I like the quote, but who is stepping on who?

Iran is a country which could do with joining the rest of the World in the 21st Century and be nice to its neighbours - it would be good for all of us

That may have been an error

The final approach looks as if it could be a little hazardous

Then again Kamikaze pilots were never trained to lower the hook





... and what the hell is that?

Run silent run deep it will not .... a pingers wet dream

Marching is probably their only means of propulsion these days

They will need a lot of looking after once they get here

I'd suggest paying close whatever the Supreme Ayatollah has to say. The odds that Iran take all of this lying down approaches zero. The Gulf States are right to be worried about what form a response will take, and the evacuations from those locations is a sign that some leaders expect a vigorous response.
June 13 (Reuters) - Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is alive and is being continuously briefed about the situation, a security source told Reuters, following an Israeli attack on Iran early on Friday.
He will doubtless make a public statement soon.

The one thing we can be sure of now - there will be no nuclear retaliation tonight

There may be a price to pay but you can be sure the Saudis will be relieved that Israel has removed the nuclear threat for now
