I am not sure targeted more like un-targeted according to my old company staff based there. Another friend was on a Virgin flight who had an interesting flight home after a late departure and a bit of a race track over the gulf. However in comparison with a staff member who watched Iranian misled launches last year climbing through 30k ft on his flight who worried WW3 was imminent and promptly went for the Champagne not so worried!

USA knows how to do a Saturday night.

The large amount of KC46 and KC135 aerial tankers that have launched from the Azores and Spain in recent hours would suggest something big and heavy is en-route to Iran to light up the night sky...

Via CENTCOM: RGM-109E Tomahawk with a black (presumably low observable) coating. Between that and the forward swept wings we may now know what the CLASSIFIED Cost Element in Tactical Tomahawk Procurement is.

$37 million in procurement dollars was spent in FY2023 on Classified missile hardware elements in support of 40 new production Block V TACTOMs.

​​​​​​​When bloggers introduce their posts with descriptors like "insane" and "crazy" and "mad", I don't bother about watching further.

Wow!
Lots of news channels saying the same thing.
Wonder if it's true that his aircraft got took down...

I guess the 'official' wording will come from Trump. The US military/Intelligence, won't f&^k this announcement up, particularly if they want the Iranian people to 'uprise'.

40 top Iranian leaders killed in the first strike which was moved up and carried out in daylight on Int provided by Israelis who had infiltrated the Iranian State Security apparatus


ORAC 28th February 2026 20:08

The mid-morning attack, rather than midnight, seems to have been planned to catch the Iranians off guard and at their offices in an attempt at decapitation of the regime.

Israel says that it killed the head of Iran's IRGC, the Minister of Defense, Chairman of SPND, Khamenei's National Security Advisor, and Head of Khamenei's Military Bureau in a coordinated strike along with their senior staff.
