Israel hits back against Iran (bombs Isfahan, home to nuclear facilities)

[Florida Man for Crime]

A bunch of drones are on the way, presumably with some cruise missiles and/or ballistic missiles to follow later (since they are much faster, so they arrive at around the same time).

BREAKING: Iran launches attack against Israel using dozens of drones, four U.S. and Israeli officials told me

[President Johnson]

I hope Israel will forcefully take them down. The Iranian regime is terrible.

[Florida Man for Crime]

Video of drones over Iraq for anyone who wants (auditory) confirmation. Can't really see them due to the night.

It is a strange situation, because the drones will take many hours to arrive in Israel. So we know they are coming, but there is a lot of waiting to be done yet.

My heart is with all our posters from Israel - stay safe!

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

Much like with Hamas, Iran can choose how this begins but they can't choose how it ends.

[President Johnson]

Biden apparently has returned to the White House for monitoring the situation. He initially wanted to spend the weekend at his Beach House.

[Farmlands]

The decade started out in the worst of ways, and it's just been major conflict escalations one after another since. I don't expect the US to directly intervene here in response, as long as there are no US military casualties, but who knows how it will play out otherwise.

Very curious what the "ceasefire now" folks will think of this.

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

Very curious what the "ceasefire now" folks will think of this.

They always wanted Hamas to fire and Israel to cease. It was all a lie. The pattern will continue.

[President Johnson]

Very curious what the "ceasefire now" folks will think of this.

"If the US Embassy would have been attacked, the US would have responded the same or worse". Something like this or any other whataboutism.

There are reports now that cruise missiles have been launched as well, and ballistic missiles are expected to be launched around dawn, according to Iranian media.

Iranian media: Ballistic missiles are expected to be launched towards Israel at dawn today

[OSR stands with Israel]

The US should tell Iran if they launch missiles at Israel , we will utterly destroy their offensive military capabilities and we have the ability to do so without sending a single ground troop

I’m loving the fact the government of the most powerful country in the world isn’t run by isolationists

While isolationism isn't the answer, we are still trying to play world cop far too much. It really needs to end.

No , we would have had a better chance of deterring Iran if we had send our Air Force a week ago . Peace comes through a show of strength and the enemies of freedom knowing that they will be utterly destroyed if they dare start a war

I mean, it is not a matter of "if they launch." They already did. Reportedly at least hundreds of drones at the minimum, even if they do not (contrary to reports) also launch missiles later as the drones get closer.

[Ancestral Republican]

We've reached the absolute nadir of Bibi's failed leadership of Israel.

America needs to do what it can to defend the people of Israel now. And then Bibi needs to go. I said several days ago that he would gladly see something like this happen to buttress his own power, and that's absolutely true.

Why the hell should we risk our men and women for Israel?

Israel is not the 51st state.

America can easily survive without Israel.

Israel is not a loyal friend.

Israel is not particularly important to us.

Let them go. JFC.

Bibi had days to prepare for this. If these few drones "get through" the Iron Dome and cause damage then I think it's obvious he is actively seeking war.

Iran has launched drones toward Israel, says IDF spokesperson

Iran has launched drones toward Israel, Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Daniel Hagari announced, amid fears of a regional escalation following an apparent Israeli attack on an Iranian embassy complex in Syria last week.

“We are following the threat in the airspace. It’s a threat that will take a number of hours to arrive in Israel,” Hagari said late on Saturday local time.

CNN political and global affairs analyst Barak Ravid reports that dozens of drones were launched by Iran, citing four US and Israeli officials.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
