Another One Bites the Dust:  Hamas Commander Taken Out by Israel Defense Forces

 

It has to be getting downright difficult for Hamas bigwigs to find a decent life insurance policy these days, what with the Israel Defense Forces drawing the net tighter with each passing day.  On Tuesday, the IDF announced that another Hamas commander had been eliminated.  The goblin in question, one Muhammad al-'Ajlah, was commanding a combat support battalion in Hamas's Shejaiya battalion when the IDF changed his pronouns to "was" and "were."  [...]

Hamas Agrees To Surrender If Europe Will Take Greta Thunberg Back

 

GAZA — The tables were turned on the infamous terrorist organization today, with horrified Hamas agreeing to a full and unconditional surrender to Israel if Europe would agree to take Greta Thunberg back.

The well-known left-wing activist was said to be en route to Gaza by sea to make her presence felt in peace negotiations between the two warring sides, leaving Hamas scrambling to do whatever was necessary to stave off her arrival.

"Please, don't let this happen!  We will do whatever it takes to keep her away," said Hamas spokesterrorist Abu Muhammed Zahir.  [...]

Why, rather than fearing the onset of WWIII, do I get the feeling that we just dodged a bullet here?

Better to fund the rise of the Iranian people, seems they have enough material for 7 bombs. What a surprise.

Israel: 'Tehran Is No Longer Immune'  UPDATE: Top Khamenei Aide Killed; UPDATE: 'Large Scale Strikes'

The gloves are off.  The question may well be why they were on to begin with.

 

In the breathtaking opening attack of the full-scale war between Israel and Iran, the IDF struck numerous targets with precision and multiplicity -- except the capital of Tehran.  Aside from a a handful of carefully targeted strikes to take out military commanders, the IDF took care to avoid the densely populated capital, likely on the urging of the US.  As a result, while the IDF decimated Iran's top military leadership and nuclear-weapons developers, they left the political structure unmolested within Tehran.  [...]

Iran to Cyprus, Oman, Qatar:  Help Us Stop the War, Pretty Please; UPDATE: IDF Reveals Tehran Nuke Sites

 

[...] Three days ago, Iran's regime made it clear that they had no intention to negotiate in good faith to end its pursuit of nuclear weapons.  After losing most of its top military leadership and a significant amount of its infrastructure to the Israeli Defense Forces, the ayatollah may have some second thoughts.

 

According to multiple news outlets but first at i24 News, the regime has begun asking intermediaries such as Qatar to start cease-fire talks:  [...]

Iran leader Khamenei sees his inner circle hollowed out by Israel

 

DUBAI/LONDON (Reuters) - Iran's 86-year-old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei cuts an increasingly lonely figure.

Khamenei has seen his main military and security advisers killed by Israeli air strikes, leaving major holes in his inner circle and raising the risk of strategic errors, according to five people familiar with his decision-making process.

One of those sources, who regularly attends meetings with Khamenei, described the risk of miscalculation to Iran on issues of defence and internal stability as "extremely dangerous".  [...]

This should NOT end with a measly "nuclear deal". That would be a major mistake.

 

It's time to weaken the regime enough and let the Iranian people do the rest.

Iran Clarifies Its New 'Jew Smasher 3000' Missile Is Meant Only For Peace

 

TEHRAN — The Islamic Republic of Iran addressed concerns over the recent acquisition of a brand new ballistic missile called the "Jew Smasher 3000" with a spokesman for the regime insisting that the missile is intended to be used for only peaceful purposes.

"We don't want people to get the wrong idea about our new intercontinental ballistic missile that is capable of reaching Tel Aviv and vaporizing all Jew dogs within a 50-mile radius," said Muhammad Muhammad al-Muhammad to reporters.  "This is [...]

U.S. strikes Iranian nuclear sites, Trump says

The move is the first time the U.S. has attacked Iran and a major escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran. U.S. involvement has divided Republicans, including Trump's closest allies.

The United States bombed multiple nuclear sites in Iran, President Donald Trump announced in a social media post on Saturday. The airstrikes are the first time the United States has conducted a direct military attack on Iran, and they further escalated a military conflict between Iran and Israel that began on June 13.

"We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan," Trump said in a social media post. "All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home."

Trump added, "Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter."

Here's How The White House Pulled Off a Flawless Strike on Iran

 

In a stunning display of military precision and secrecy, the Trump administration executed a flawless bombing campaign on Iran's key nuclear sites, showcasing the unmatched capabilities of America's stealth arsenal and the discipline of a White House that kept the entire operation under wraps until the last bomb dropped.

"This is an operation… in the last 18 years since I've been at the Pentagon, I've never seen such operational security," reported Fox News' Jennifer Griffin, clearly impressed.  "There was nobody speaking about this, any of the preparations.  There was a complete lockdown, almost a blackout of information for the last few days."

The operation, centered around B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, targeted three critical uranium enrichment facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.  These heavily fortified underground sites, long seen as invulnerable to conventional strikes, were each hit with 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrators  — bunker-busting bombs that only the U.S. Air Force is capable of deploying at this level.  [...]

I am wondering how you could carry out a BDA in such circumstances.
