Iranian Strike

[Roch]

No. Israel was legitimized by a United Nations vote on November 29, 1947: https://www.britannica.com/topic/United-Nations-Resolution-181

So there was no murders of Palestinian children prior to October 7th

Looks like US are complicit. I hope Iran can stay strong.

So it can continue to intimidate its citizens abroad? https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/bbc-staff-in-london-say-their-families-are-being-terrorised-and-punished-by-iranian-regime/ar-AA1G3WKL?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=64fb45a30a9342679fda6a3357082afa&ei=12

Have you seen how Israel treats it's own citizens? Hockling on Christians. Shelling houses Hannibal directive.

   Tel Aviv getting hit now

Iranian ballistic missiles have struck Tel Aviv as Tehran launched its retaliation against Israel.

Dozens of missiles were targeted at Israel’s largest city and other sites in the country in what the IDF said was an attack on civilians. Footage showed at least one high-rise building badly damaged in the city centre. It was not immediately clear whether it had taken a direct hit.

Israel said there were at least five casualties in what would amount to a serious escalation. Iran has not previously aimed missiles at civilian areas.

“Iran has crossed red lines by daring to fire missiles at civilian population centres in Israel,” Israel Katz, Israel’s defence minister, said in a statement. “We will continue to defend the citizens of Israel and ensure that the ayatollah regime pays a very heavy price for its heinous actions.”

Do you not see the irony in this?

     Iran are striking military targets. Steve and his sources are using the "Israeli defence"- accuse others of your own crimes,

     Iran's targets;

"An Israeli noted yesterday:
The code name you are looking for is 'HaKirya'. Israel's most heavily defended, most central military base, where IDF command and strategic planning of the Israeli security state is being carried out - at the heart of Tel Aviv.

If/when HaKirya is seriously damaged, then we'll know with 100% certainty this is the real war, the one to the end, and the Iranians are not holding back anymore + are capable of strategically damaging Israel's war apparatus.

If you see or hear 'HaKirya' in news reports, know that, without any doubt, no games are involved in this anymore"

You took the words out of my mouth.

Do you mean that the IDF is not allowed to target Hamas because it happened to entrench itself under school and hospital buildings?

I'm not minimizing the seriousness of the situation.

From nuclear scientist Bahram Ghiassee:

Israel has embarked on a perilous path to dismantling Iran’s nuclear programme, and has launched direct aerial attacks on one of the key uranium enrichment sites located in Natanz. These facilities are built just a few meters underground, and are thus vulnerable to missile attacks and aerial bombardments.

A number of prominent nuclear scientists were also killed in the attacks, including a former head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation. The attacks constitute a major warning to the Islamic Republic to curb its nuclear activities.

Iran, over the past six decades, has acquired a highly advanced and encompassing nuclear programme, including Uranium Enrichment Plants, the Heavy Water Plant, and Heavy-Water research reactors. The dual use nature of nuclear technology is well established, and Israel’s concerns about nuclear proliferation have provided them the impetus to attack Iran’s critical infrastructure – including nuclear facilities.

It is most likely that Israel, as part of the “Operation Rising Lion”, will attack other nuclear sites in the subsequent phase of its aerial military campaign. It may target the highly advanced facilities at Esfahan Nuclear Technology Centre and also the Esfahan Nuclear Research Centre, in particular the Uranium Conversion Facility, where uranium concentrate is converted to uranium hexafluoride gas, as feed for centrifuges to enrich uranium.

The Heavy Water Plant at Arak could also be a potential target for attack, as the key components of the plant are tall columns built in the open. In the event of an all-out strike, the research reactor in Tehran could be targeted, as it is vulnerable to drone, missile, and aerial strikes.

The Fordow Uranium Enrichment Facility, built some 60 meters inside a mountain, is designed not to be vulnerable to attacks by drones, rockets, missiles, or the U.S. Bunker Busting bombs. However, its external (offsite) electricity supply, cooling water supply, and air supply systems are highly vulnerable. Uranium has been enriched to 83.7 per cent at Fordow, which is comparable to the 80 per cent enriched uranium contained in the Hiroshima atomic bomb.


It is unlikely that the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant would come under attack, as such plants are designed and constructed to withstand aerial attacks. However, external power supplies and cooling water systems are regarded as soft targets, and highly vulnerable to drone and missile strikes.

Extensive damage to the plant could lead to a Fukushima-like accident, and release of significant quantities of radioactivity into the marine environment of the Persian Gulf. This could lead to the extensive contamination of the ecological systems and disruption of shipping operations. It could also affect oil and gas production and the supply of water to some of the Arab States in the Persian Gulf.

Moreover, Russian personnel may be present at the plant, and any harm to them would constitute a major escalation of the conflict which Israel, under the circumstances, would not wish to provoke. 

Should Israel decide to launch further direct attacks, it is likely that it would also target critical infrastructure adjacent to nuclear facilities, including fossil-fuelled power stations, electricity grids, and cooling water supplies. Destruction of critical infrastructure could lead to extensive damage to nuclear facilities and their normal operations.

Iran, in the event of an all-out attack on its nuclear facilities, could take retaliatory action by striking Israel’s nuclear research centres. Iran’s recent aerial attack on Israel has demonstrated its military capabilities and its ability to escalate the conflict. Iran could heighten the hostilities yet further by attacking Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates: these countries have normalised diplomatic relations with Israel and host US military bases. The US could thus become directly involved in the conflict.

It is imperative that concerted diplomatic efforts are instituted to prevent further escalation of the conflict, and to restore peace, security and stability in this highly turbulent region. Diplomacy and dialogue must prevail.

     Israel is getting a taste of its own medicine tonight, Steve. List of targets hit so far,

"The commander of the IRGC, Major General Ahmad Vahidi, has announced the targets that have been struck so far:
🔻 Nevatim Airbase
🔻 F-35, F-16, and F-15 fighter jets
🔻 Heavy fuel tankers
🔻 Command and control centers
🔻 Electronic warfare centers
🔻 Ministry of War"

     Iran have stated the retaliation will continue.

Israel has been at war since 1948.
