    Iran is targetting US airbases. This might be an off ramp for all parties, or might spiral into something bigger. Really hope the Iranian FM’s person to person meeting with Putin was fruitful. I’ve also read that Putin is hesitant to provide Iran weapons because Israel is full of Russian Jews.

      Trump is a pig headed fascist, he’s going to bomb Iran like they did Libya, I’m not sure if he’ll send boots on the ground but it’s possible.

      IIRC the Jewish population in Russia isn’t really that much.

      ~150k while their total population is ~143 million

    They told Qatar ahead of time according to reports I’ve seen. It was a total performance. No intent on actually retaliating, actually punishing the west. Just theatrics for their people of oh look we hit the Americans back (and hit nothing vital, and warned them ahead of time and some or all may have been intercepted).

    May be the correct move for now but I have my doubts that Trump is not drawn further into this by the advisors whispering in his ears. It’ll be salami-slicing likely.

    IF so IMO it’ll look like the Americans take out whatever radar and minimal anti-air the Iranians have left to allow the zionists total operational freedom in addition to their existing freedom to come and go as they please without being shot down. The zionists will continue their bombing, they’ll find where Iran stored the nuclear material (Bibi already says they know, maybe a lie, maybe not but I’d bet within 12 months they do know), take that out, bomb any remaining nuclear projects, do further assassinations and turn Iran into Lebanon or at least a place where they come and go in the air as the please to kill who they want from the air even if they don’t dare send in ground troops. Iran continues firing missiles into the entity, maybe they start running out of their stockpile and have to slow their tempo, maybe they don’t. Maybe the zionists take out their production/launch-sites/stockpiles and maybe they don’t.
