Some country - assumed to be Israel -carried out a strike on Iran with drones or missiles a few days ago. The Iranians shrugged it off; no serious damage was done, they implied. But the strike was not a mere gesture. It must have been the first part of a plan, a preparation for a devastating attack. The plan must be: first destroy the Iranian air-defense system, then destroy the Iranian attack-capability from the air.
Quote from The Telegraph:
Israel’s attack on Iran appears to have been a precise strike that took out the key part of a Russian-made air defence system at a key air base at Isfahan, according to reports.
Iran was given the S-300 air defence battery by Russia in 2016.
The damaged radar equipment is near the 8th Shekari airbase, just north-east of Isfahan, a central Iranian city where the sounds of multiple explosions were reported early on Friday morning.
The attack was targeting infrastructure used to provide air cover to Natanz, a secretive facility involved in Iran’s nuclear programme.
Israeli intelligence and defence analyst Ronen Solomon told The Telegraph: “From what we have seen, Israel’s strike intended to neutralise Iran’s air defence advance systems that cover Natanz and Isfahan’s nuclear sites that are involved in enrichment and could convert it to a uranium metal for a bomb.
“This is like a yellow card in football before the red card that is a full strike to destroy them.”
Israel’s strike was calculated to show Tehran that it could bypass Iranian defence systems undetected and paralyse them using a fraction of the firepower Iran deployed last week.

The Bloomberg television network revealed overnight into Saturday that in the attack attributed to Israel at the Iranian consulate in Syria, the entire command hierarchy responsible for the activities of the Revolutionary Guards in Syria and Lebanon was killed. According to the report, the senior officers were pivotal for Hezbollah’s activities in the region.
I hope that’s true. Sounds like they may have had advance warning of it, tho. If true, good job.
There are fewer terrorists in the world now.
But with the help of the U.S., that may not make much of a dent - I just read that there’s $6 billion in the bill congress just passed for pro-Hamas NGOs.
(At Citizen Free Press, quote from congressman Burchett)
Djeeziz! Thanks for the info, Liz. How could Speaker Johnson let this bill pass? Weird as well as appalling, it also contains aid for Israel. The legislature has gone as insane as the executive.
There is also this:
“… the Biden administration openly subsidized the Revolutionary Guard with a $6 billion ransom payment, at least $25 billion in sanction relief (including $10 billion via a waiver) …”
Yes, Biden is just carrying out the will of his puppetmasters, Obama and his fellow Islamist/Marxist comrades.
And to say Netanyahu ochestrated the massacre to boost himself politically sounds just like what some idiot leftists are saying about Trump - that he orchestrated all the lawfare they’re attacking him with to gain political advantage. And I suppose Kennedy arranged his own assassination…
