Still galling that strikes like this can happen during a time of nominal peace, but hey, that's empire for you
I find it very concerning that Iran is apparently incapable of building an air defense network capable of denying Israeli incursions in to their airspace. It seems like Israel operates with complete impunity.
Iran recently released a statement saying they hit a drone and minimal damages were caused overall thanks to their air defence system
No casualties and little structural damage to their manufacturing buildings
Video footage checks out too
I hate stanning for the Iranian government, but good. The very epitome of critical support.
When your Eastern European puppet state is totally NOT getting owned by Iranian drones so you get your other puppet state to attack Iran for totally not owning you
Oh but suddenly I'm crazy for calling on the DPRK to contain America by finishing the job at Three Mile Island. Suuure. 🙄
(this is a joke!)

Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns made an unannounced trip to Israel last week to discuss Iran and other regional issues, according to people familiar with his visit. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is scheduled to arrive in Israel on Monday to continue the U.S.-Israel talks about Iran and other regional issues.
These sick fucks:
Mr. Netanyahu’s new government isn’t expected to offer Ukraine direct military support. But it is expected to continue carrying out covert strikes against Iran’s nuclear and military program.
Strikes like the one over the weekend help damage Iran’s ability to help Russia with the war in Ukraine.
“This is a smart trifecta where Israel can hurt Iran, help Ukraine, and not risk its strategic interests in Syria or run the risk of the diversion of its sensitive military technology to Russia and into Iran,” said Mark Dubowitz, chief executive officer of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Washington-based think tank critical of Iran.

On social media, Trump’s decision to assassinate Suleimani and al-Muhandis was greeted with praise from the FDD, which gloated, via Twitter, that Iran “thought he [Trump] was a Twitter tiger; he’s proven otherwise.” FDD CEO Mark Dubowitz wrote that he believes that the death of Suleimani is “more consequential than the killing of [Osama] #BinLaden.”
War is like bankruptcy, if you don't stand up and shout, "I declare WAR!" then it doesn't count.
It will be very funny if Ukraine is forced to surrender in the near future and Russia starts providing cutting edge S-500 air defense systems to Iran.
“Explosive night in Iran,” Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukraine’s president, wrote on Twitter in response to the blast in Iran. “[Ukraine] did warn you.”
Honestly not that it matters and it is immature of me but I'm done . Hope Moscow goes all the way to Kiev and straight up decapitates it's leadership and purges it's military. Again I know it's arm chair of me and peace is desirable but Jesus Christ. Russia must win this war.
Declare war already cowards (Israel are the cowards, to be clear)
