Israel attacked Iran’s capital early Friday, with explosions booming across Tehran.

The attack comes as tensions have reached new heights over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program. The Board of Governors at the International Atomic Energy Agency for the first time in 20 years on Thursday censured Iran over it not working with its inspectors. Iran immediately announced it would establish a third enrichment site in the country and swap out some centrifuges for more-advanced ones.

Israel for years has warned it will not allow Iran to build a nuclear weapon, something Tehran insists it doesn’t want — though official there have repeatedly warned it could. The U.S. has been preparing for something to happen, already pulling some diplomats from Iraq’s capital and offering voluntary evacuations for the families of U.S. troops in the wider Middle East.

"Isreal launches pre-emptive strike" is a nice way to say Isreal declares war on Iran.

The ruling party needs a new distraction from the Netanyahu corruption trial?

[–] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump is claiming no US involvement but the times of Israel is claiming US lulled Iran into the false belief they wouldn't attack soon, fun times ahead folks.

[–] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 day ago

Everyone knows that Israel cannot attack Iran without USA logistical support, permission and foreknowledge.

This is being labeled a multi-day attack

And here I was afraid we wouldn't have anything to talk about this weekend...

I fully expect to hear about Kent State 2: Fascist Boogaloo by Sunday

[–] jroid8@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Heard some booms outside and not even 10 minutes later there was a long car line for a nearby gas station (actually we call it "پمپ بنزین" or benzin pump station here, gas pumps aren't in every station so not sure gas station is the right name)

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Do you have any pics or updates you can offer?

[–] jroid8@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, not much in my view happened. If you mean the car line I don't want to doxx myself as it's very close to my home

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Well stay safe. Any and all reporting would be great.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What kind doesn't have pumps?

[–] jroid8@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sorry I looked up the right terms now. It's gasoline pumps and CNG is the one which isn't in every station.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 2 points 22 hours ago

Yeah in English we call most of them gas stations. We don't really have many CNG stations in the US, but where we do they're usually attached to a gas station.

Let Trunny and Netty stretch themselves thin fighting stupid wars. Easier to cut them down from within.

Might be a good idea for people to top off their cars with gas.
