Lets hope CNN's source is crap


We'd be stupid to not prepare for such things.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

I thought this was already understood. Kind of on the order of things fall down, water is wet, etc.

It's implying more or a different level plus the introduction of suicide bombers

Iran is doing a much better job of hitting us and Israel than I thought they would be capable of. God bless those in harm's way.


I have to say I have no idea how Trump expects the unarmed Iranian people to rise up against a well-equipped army in a country in which a significant percentage of the population believes in the Mullahs.



I hope we don't wind up ending this with the regime still in place--very degraded, but still in place.

Israel blocked alot of information coming out during last summer but alot of Iranian stuff got through. Our bases outside Israel are even less equipped to shoot down drones and missiles. It's about destroying their launch capabilities as fast as possible

They're sending lots and lots of missiles and drones to flood the system. I think theyre less effective than previous attempt. Further, theyre attacking many more targets that are not Iron Dome level.

I do not think we will leave any of the regime in place since this is day 2 and Trump predicted a month long fight. Who knows though, there certainly isnt a handbook for removing a 50 year old Shiite Muslim republic

That is my fear as well. Half-assing things isn't unknown and would be a terrible result.

Not too concerned yet about that as the populace can be armed (secretly of course) fairly quickly. Mossad, Saudis, Kuwaitis, etc.

Brits are getting active since the fight might be coming to them


Brits only getting active after starmer seeing how much praise Trump is getting from the Iranian people and the Arabs.

I feel the opposition and that Iran is way underperforming. The fear all along of doing this is that they would overwhelm us with ICBMs that we really never saw first time around.

But they really haven't. There have been a few hits and some drones getting through but nothing major. Still early I guess but they've been decapitated at this point. Just wildly shooting according to their own government.

Awfully nice of the Iranian regime to provide the Israeli's the succession list...makes eliminating them more convenient.

Have no way of knowing if a story I saw yesterday was remotely true but with how quickly these new successors are being taken out, have to wonder. The story was that the Mossad had infiltrated elite dental and medical clinics that catered solely to IRGC and upper level regime members. And that they were able to place tracking devices such as in fillings in their teeth and subdural, under their skin. If that was even remotely true, would never want to be on Mossad's bad side.

Zero chance this is true. You can't fit a GPS tracking until into a dental implant, and even if you could, you would have to have a way of constantly charging it. You could get an RFID in there, but the range would be incredibly low. Like a few feet at most.


While what you are saying makes sense, I don't think we know what the Mossad and the US government have at their disposal on the tech side.

Given how many of the regime have been wiped out in 48 hours, I don't think that's a realistic possibility.

Something new is coming, we just need to work and cross our fingers that what comes next is significantly better. From what I understand, the younger generation (40ish and below) in Iran is fairly progressive and much more western than their older generations.

Their older generations were incredibly progressive before the Shah fell and the Islamic Revolution took place.

Maybe an RFID and then readers placed at a strategic funnel point (eg - an entrance to a meeting room)? Still farfetched, but it is the Mossad we're talking about here

I was thinking RFID communicating to cell phone. Use the phone gps to get the location and transmit it via wifi, even if they have cellular service turned off.

Traffic through the straight has dwindled to very little. With one going full Leroy Jenkins
The diamonds indicate ships that are not moving.
Also i read an article on Fox that Iran is jamming just about all signals in the straight.
