Israel intentionally puts military targets inside densely populated civilian areas.

Mossad, their intelligence agency, is one example…

When you hear Israel complaining that Iran has killed civilians, just know that it’s because Israel intentionally uses Israelis as human shields.

Doesn’t Israel have compulsive military service? The entire populace is military by design.

They failed to consider the lack of humanity in settler colonialists, no crime against those people could make me shudder.

Why in the world would Iran want nuclear weapons ? That's definitely a mystery we will never be able to solve I'm sure!

Same reason people keep buying SUV: others have it so I feel more secure if I drive one as well.

I hope, somehow, israel gets absolutely glassed over all this bullshit.

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Im jewish and fully agree. Israel has done more harm to the Jewish diaspora than nearly anything else in modern history. I pray that the innocent are spared but there are exceedingly few innocents there.

This is awesome, I hope one of their newest missiles causes damage to the ship, even if it doesn't sink immediately after being struck.

Iranian missiles continue to undermine years of propaganda about defense systems.

With targets in Israel being hit by Iranian missiles and other targets at American bases in the Gulf region, even in the face of numerous Patriot batteries that are now known to be firing with little success, given the numerous explosions in Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Kingdom (typo for UAE I'm sure), Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.

I’m If the Iranian launches maintain the current pace, they should deplete the Patriot interceptor stockpiles protecting these bases within 48 hours, leaving only Riyadh, which possesses a large number of its own batteries with ammunition, including a THAAD battery.

In the case of Jordan, there is also coverage by batteries on Israeli territory. In the case of Israel, interceptions appear to have failed again, as several explosions have been heard in various cities. Iran appears to have used its most modern missiles in the initial attacks.

Despite the evident success of the Iranian missiles, it is still too early to discuss the degree of failure of the air defenses, not to mention that they exist.

On both sides, the attacks hit civilian targets, and in Tel Aviv, houses are burning, while in Iran, a school was hit, leaving at least 23 children dead and others trapped under rubble. To further complicate the security of patriotic supplies in the region, the Houthis announced the closure of traffic in the Red Sea and full support for Iranian retaliation, which should mean missiles targeting American and Israeli bases.

With the start of naval combat, it will be possible to see how prepared Iran is for a prolonged conflict, supporting bombings on its territory.

As expected. Operation Epstein Fury was done to get a retaliatory strike from Iran so their weapon launch sites ca be tracked using satellite surveillance

One day America and Israel will be nothing but bad memories for humanity as a whole. 😞

Iranian missiles hit dozens of targets in a short time with multiple impacts in Israel.

As I said weeks ago, all American bases in the region are being targeted. So far, Patriots and THADs have been unable to protect even the bases in Israel, which host a large portion of the American air force. These aircraft will have to disperse to various smaller airports.

With the current attacks, Iran has left the coalition without secure bases or safe ranges to retaliate through the air at this moment.

It is likely that several American and Israeli drones are trying to map Iranian launchers to target these locations in a second wave of attacks, which is a difficult task due to the mobility of these launchers.

The pace of attacks from both sides has already exceeded a hundred missile launches, and the number is set to increase.

In American bases alone, there have been dozens of explosions. At this rate, Tomahawks will be depleted in less than a week.

How will coalition forces proceed without secure bases within range for air operations?

[–] tastemyglaive@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 weeks ago

As the airfields are taken out, damaging Iran is going to be difficult. Long flight already

[–] tastemyglaive@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 weeks ago

Augh, something is just not clicking for some people. Yes, actually, this is a US boondoggle to maintain neocolonialism.

[–] tastemyglaive@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 weeks ago

Iranian drone strike on what seems to be a US radar system in Bahrain

I think this was the Iranian Shahed-136 hit, which is really funny
