    Ballistic missiles are fast. Not like the ones they shot before, that took hours to get to Israel, these ones will take 10-15 minutes. It’s an escalation for sure.

    Why would Iran care for Hezbollah? Aren’t Hezbollah and Iran completely separate entities? /s

  3. Do they not learn? Hamas pissed off Israel one time too many. Now they obliterated the entire strip. Hezbollah pissed off Israel one time too many. Now they’re going to have the Gaza treatment. Iran is looking at all of that and is thinking “hmm you know, I’ll have some of that pls”

    Fucking dumb. Allah is not real and nobody is going to protect y’all from Mossad

  4. >“The United States has indications that Iran is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic missile attack against Israel. We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack. A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran,” a senior White House official said in a statement.

    Bibi released a statement on “the war against the axis of evil”, IDF spokesperson is about to release a statement (the 2nd one today). Sounds like it’s happening.

    this might result in US CVBG response on Iran and Israel might even go as far as trying to topple their regime. This would be suicide

  7. Israel is getting prepared for this, as Hagari will release a statement soon (second time today).

    Somebody correct me here please if im wrong.

    So Iran has liquid fueled missiles meaning that there’s a fuelling and setup time of 6-8 hours before you can fire.

    Am I right in saying that you can´t really stand down a liquid fuelled launch as the missile gets too corroded from the fuel and you have to commit to launch or write off the missile?

    Just please don’t wake me up very early in the morning, I’m trying to normalize my sleep (regardless of ongoing events), but I often end up falling asleep at 3AM.

    Sincerely yours,

    an Israeli citizen.

  10. I really hope this is another one of Iran’s empty threats and that I don’t wake up in the morning proven wrong.

    It would be suicidal for Iran to actually do this too.

    It’s clear that Iran is happy to support a proxy war but very disinterested in Iranian war. Last time their retaliation was handily thwarted and they must have known that it would be. They wanted to appear to be retaliating but without any of the escalation.

    They’ve shown their hand. Israel can freely bomb their terrorist puppets.

    Everyone shrugs this off and pretends it’s normal right until the point Israel decides to prepare one of its own ballistic missiles for launch at Tehran.

    Then everyone gets hysterical calling for restraint and ceasefire.

    Nothing fuels that existential crisis quite like talk of ballistic missiles and escalations in the Middle East.

    Between the speech Netanyahu gave to the Iranian people yesterday and the stuff I’ve seen on Twitter where somebody recounted overhearing Netanyahu tell an IDF soldier “we’ll clear the way for the Iranian people to take back their country” I feel like Iran would be giving Bibi exactly the excuse he needs if they launch an attack on Israel 

  15. I just want to buy an island off the coast of scotland, build a house with decent internet and get away from all these noncense.

    It’s all just stupidly pointless and a waste of human human lives.

  16. lol is this going to be another of those shoot “some missiles will forewarning to still appear strong and that’s it” type of things? If so, everyone is freaking out for nothing as we’ve seen time and time again.

  17. SuspiciousFishRunner on

    If there are strong enough indications of an imminent launch and not a continuation of the threats without action of the last months, don’t be surprised if you see a preemptive strike against various Islamic Republic of Iran assets.

  18. This is gonna be like that drone attack a little while ago where the USAF and RAF just down everything and Iran look like an all bark no bite bitch again.

  19. And I see Western TikTokers supporting this.. wtf is happening? These people surely are plants to sow division and spread a fake narrative?
