Misdirection

[Buffalogurl]

It's being reported that Iran has activated it's sleeper cells in the United States.....
This shit is coming so fast....... near impossible to keep up.....as a public service announcement.... if you see something, fucking say something........

 

[Buffalogurl]

Wouldn't bombing the upper structure level preclude anyone from getting out for some time? Just thinking aloud for a moment. If you are trapped inside the chances that you'd keep working on uranium production would not be happening.

Power must come from somewhere into the facility as a secondary thought. Cooling \for reactors as well.

Sort of like Saddam Hussein's trench warfare. Americans just welded blades to tanks and covered them over one by one. Entombed them without a shot fired.

Same principle? Asking for a friend.

You may be correct.....

I am pro peace no matter who you are or where you're from.

Unless it involves working migrants in the USA, you mean?

Reported where?

 

[Lance_Castro]

Any bets on whether the US will attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities on or before June 14, the day of the big cross country protests?
It looks we are preparing by moving our people out of
Baghdad and other parts of the Middle East.

Thanks! Usually I’m called a Cassandra and people get upset with me.

 

[Noor]

That almost implies if the felon could fight [he can't] that he might be smart?

Almost, but not completely. He’s not totally dumb, he is a felon and president

 

[Noor]

Only an idiot would believe the Pentagon right now.

Better safe than sorry in this case.
Name calling is a tactic of those with weak arguments.

It’s not over yet though.

Makes me want to make a list of those who fit this description in the forum, but we know who they are, so I won't.

Quack!

This is not over btw. It’s expected to go on until at least Sunday.

Is that a Gaza Sunday?

So what does Iran do now?

So what does Iran do now?

depends what they have left to do it with

I read that the houthis are actually better equipped right now for long range damage

also, Israel has some pretty big gas fields.

Flammable targets?

 

[butters]

Flammable targets?

I don't know how the infrastructure works and how vulnerable these fields may be. I DO know that Israel has closed down operations in these major fields, so clearly they will be protected to a degree. Whether houthi bombs can make a significant impact is beyond my knowledge, but any above-ground infrastructure has to be vulnerable.

Egypt has temporarily switched over to other power sources in its production of fertiliser with their normal fuel—piped Israeli gas—currently unreliable.

The Houthis face the same issues as the Iranians.

Do they really want to bring an unrestrained / unrestricted Israeli reprisal down upon themselves for striking Israeli infrastructure???

After Iran strike, Israel prepares to shut two of its gas rigs

All-out war in Middle East could threaten crucial natural-gas fields in eastern Mediterranean​

By
Claudia Assis
All eyes are on oil markets and the key Strait of Hormuz, the markets’ crossroads, but an all-out war between Israel and Iran would pose a serious threat to eastern Mediterranean natural-gas fields — and risk spilling into Europe’s liquefied natural-gas supply.

Two major Israeli offshore natural-gas fields are partly owned by Chevron Corp., and one is responsible for more than 40% of Israel’s natural-gas production, some of which is exported to Egypt and then in turn exported to Europe as liquified natural gas.

Beyond Gaza: The Rising Threat of Direct Houthi-Israel Confrontation

The strike on Ben Gurion Airport on 4 May reveals a growing weakness in Israel’s deterrent posture. Despite facing advanced Israeli air defences and the threat of retaliation, the Houthis continue to adapt and escalate the conflict, underscoring their resilience and the limits of Israel’s current strategy. The recent US-Houthi ceasefire in the Red Sea also allows the Houthis to recalibrate their efforts and concentrate more directly on Israel.

Israel’s retaliatory airstrikes may be insufficient to deter future Houthi attacks. The group has developed a resilient supply chain to circumvent disruptions to key infrastructure. At sea, Iranian arms shipments continue to flow via covert maritime routes, illustrating the group’s ability to sustain weapons inflows despite increased surveillance and interdiction efforts, especially by the US Navy. On land, weapons and components are funnelled through Oman into Houthi-controlled northern Yemen via informal desert crossings and tribal smuggling networks. These combined maritime and overland channels reduce the strategic effectiveness of strikes on shipping hubs like Hodeidah...

Additionally, the Houthis have steadily increased their technical sophistication as the conflict has progressed, demonstrated by their deployment of hydrogen-powered drones, more advanced Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and ballistic missile technology. While this progress relies heavily on Iranian support, it suggests the group is now capable of launching longer-range and more sustained attacks.

These factors may further embolden the Houthis. Additionally, the successful strike on Ben-Gurion Airport is likely to enhance their confidence and morale, reinforcing their resolve and encouraging the pursuit of additional targets within Israeli territory. In future, they might target other strategically significant targets, such as Ashkelon’s energy infrastructure, the port of Eilat, or military bases in Israel’s south. Given the Houthis’ growing capabilities, these sites are not just operationally feasible — they have the added value of being symbolically resonant. This is especially notable if the Houthis believe the US will not act because of the separate ceasefire they negotiated with Washington.

So what does Iran do now?

Persians throw out the Arab mullahs, take the country back and install the hereditary ruler back in power?
Traditionally Iranian is not an Islamic state.

Did I miss something while I was asleep? What successful strike on Ben guiron Airport?

Did I miss something while I was asleep? What successful strike on Ben guiron Airport?

that was back in May, on the 4th... the article fills you in on it all. Not a new strike.

This one ?
“hitting the perimeter of the main terminal of Ben Gurion Airport while leaving a crater and damaging a road and a vehicle.”
Not much of a strike, but yes. Didn’t get any planes, runways or anything.
8 people injuried.

I’m thinking the Houthis might lose some steam since they were being helped by the Iranian republican guard which has lost its leadership and continues to lose its members as the war goes on.
