We should deal with our own, start by deporting the protesters ranting death to Canada.

There is only one THAAD battery in the region and its six launchers contain 48 missiles.

Rumour on Telegram is that the retaliation will be launched by Iranian proxies in Iraq. Shorter distances reduce flight times and so provides less time for interceptions.

Wouldn't be surprised if a Hezbollah salvo from Lebanon is used to deplete the Iron Dome first.

Lebanon used to be a quiet, prosperous, peaceful country until there was a civil war and Hezbollah , backed by Iran, came to power. Lebanon has an impotent "national" army as well, they pulled well back from the border as soon as they got wind of Israeli intentions.

there are 4 components to the dome, during the last lobbing from iran, they chose not to use 2 of the dome system. b-52 bombers just got to the region yesterday.

in any regard, should khamenei pull the trigger it will be bad for iran. we forget that people have been living this for a long time, friends in israel say things are a bit more intense but otherwise it's just a regular day in the middle east.

Did the rumours on Telegram tell you how the heck Iran is planning to move the few hundreds ballistic missiles to Iraq without anyone noticing it?
Iran **** his pants after the first Israeli attack. They know now that they are as vulnerable as sheeps… Israel was able to avoid and destroy the latest and greatest Russians anti- aircraft batteries and can now fly thru the Iranian airspace without any threats…. One fart from Ayatollah and it could be the end of it.

Seems some believe both these to be true:

-Iran firing ballistic missiles at Israel from Iraq will be deadly because they are so close, the Israelis won't have time to respond, it will be a massacre.

-Israel firing ballistic missiles are Iran will be a complete waste of resources, they are to close, and the Iranians will just shoot them out the sky while they are still in boost mode.

Shorter flight times limit Israel's air defense reloading time.

ICBMs can and must be intercepted in boost mode. That's what I was referring to in the context of a nuclear first strike.

Israel hit nothing of consequence in Iran. All of Iran's vital stockpiles (etc.) are underground. Zero proof otherwise.

Also never said Iran was going to launch ballistic missiles from Iraq. Only that they may initiate something from there.

Iran can do what they just did -- throw three hundred ballistics at Israel from Iran and get a few dozen through, again.

Israel is actually the more vulnerable nation, especially without Uncle Sam. The world watched in 4K as it got battered. In the event of full-scale war, Iran would launch thousands of missiles in one go.

Then they will be turned into a glass parking lot. If it will come to the existence of the state of Israel- their response will be very drastic. But Iran also knows that. They can bark like a mad dog but they will be sitting in the corner and licking their own balls like a good dog they are.
If you think that Israeli airstrike hit nothing- you are very wrong. If you think Iran still has thousands of ballistic missiles- you are also mistaken.
When ayatollah took power first time, they were “friends” with Kremlin, had their support and help. But one day they decided that they are more important… Kremlin just sent them a note saying that it takes an icbm 25 minutes to reach Teheran and the conflict ended…. Israel just reminded them that they are not invincible.

Clock is ticking for Iran to respond. They know that Israel has been told to bend over and take it until the Election is over.

Israel also knows that Iran has been told to bend over and take until the Election is over.

Highly doubt that Iran will sit back and wait for Israel to get a green light post election for a serious response on Iran.

But so far, Iran has done nothing.

OPEC+ is not lifting the cap on oil production, which may be an olive branch to Iran to not do anything, but everyone knows that if missiles start flying there is no need for a production cap to drive the oil prices up and reward the OPEC+ members.

Somehow I believe that there won't be silence from Iran today.
