Israel's Strikes Killed Dozens of High-Ranking Iranian Terror Generals and Nucular Scientists
Update: Photos of the Penthouses of the Pious Leaders of Iran

Obviously Israel failed to blow up all of Iran's missile sites, but they did target them pre-attack:

Israeli security source:

Significant intelligence was collected and surveillance was carried out to incriminate senior Iranian security officials and nuclear scientists who were eliminated.

Alongside this, a covert operational campaign to damage Iran's strategic missile array. The Mossad carried out a series of covert operations in Iran, which were intended to damage Iran's strategic missile array and its air defense capabilities.

As part of their activities, Mossad agents implemented significant moves to introduce special weapons on a large scale, deploy them throughout Iran, and launch them towards the attack targets in a precise and effective manner.

These are three different operations:

First, in central Iran, squads of Mossad commando fighters operated to deploy operational systems of precision-guided weapons, in open areas near the location of Iranian surface-to-air missile systems (SAM).

With the beginning of the Israeli attack, in parallel with the air force attacks throughout Iran, the systems were trained and activated, and the precision missiles were launched directly at the targets at once and with great accuracy.

In another operational campaign to thwart Iran's air defense capabilities that threaten Israeli fighter jets, the Mossad, in secret operations, planted sophisticated attack systems and technologies on vehicles. With the start of the surprise attack, the weapons were launched and completely destroyed the targets of the attack - the Iranian defense systems.

In the third campaign, the Mossad established a base of explosive drones that were infiltrated into the heart of Iran long before the attack by Mossad agents. During the Israeli attack, the explosive drones were activated and launched at the surface-to-surface missile launchers (SGMs) located at the Asfaqabad base near Tehran and that pose a threat to strategic targets and Israeli citizens.

Israel also attempted a decapitation strike against Iran's senior terror command.

@IDF Statement: Three Top Iranian Military Commanders Eliminated

In a large-scale overnight operation, more than 200 Israeli Air Force fighter jets -- guided by pinpoint intelligence -- struck over 100 high-value targets across Iran.

Among those eliminated:
* Mohammad Hossein Bagheri -- Chief of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces
* Hossein Salami -- Commander of the IRGC
* Gholam-Ali Rashid -- Commander of Khatam al-Anbiya (Emergency Command)

This marks a major blow to the military leadership of the Iranian regime.

ELIMINATED: Commander of the IRGC's Air Force & Senior Chain of Command of the Air Force

The Intelligence Directorate identified that the senior chain of command of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Air Force had assembled in an underground command center to prepare for an attack on the State of Israel.

IAF fighter jets struck the command center where Commander of the IRGC's Air Force Amir Ali Hajizadeh was located along with other senior officials.

Along with Hajizadeh, Commander of the UAV Force of the IRGC's Air Force Taher-pour and Commander of the Aerial Command of the IRGC’s Air Force Davoud Shaykhian, were eliminated.

BREAKING: Dana Bash: Trump told her, the Iranian hardliners in the talks are now dead.

Bash: "Meaning Israel got them?"

Trump: "Well they didn't die of covid."

This is my President. I definitely voted for this.

An Israeli source claims that Israel's intelligence had figured out on what conditions Iran's senior military staff would gather in one place to plot against them. They took the actions and put out the signals (radio chatter, etc.) that would cause the high command to congregate in this one place. Then they kept taking actions and putting out radio chatter that would keep them in this place... while its jets closed in to blow them all up.

On the strikes against IRGC Air Force leadership: Israel tricked the top command of Iran's air force into a meeting and then kept them there, I'm told by an Israeli security official.

"We did specific activities to help us understand things about them and then used that information to make them act in a specific way," the official said. "We knew this would make them meet, but more importantly we knew how to keep them there."

Update: Israel shot missiles into the penthouses of Iran's senior terror commanders.

This New York Times "reporter" says that Israel randomly struck the apartment of a university professor. He can't think of any possible reason that Israel would assassinate a university professor.

Mark Hemingway suggested an obvious possibility: this professor was a nuclear scientist or otherwise involved in their nuke program.

We don't know that yet, but that's the way to bet.

Bonchie @bonchieredstate

Check this intrepid New York Times reporter's timeline, and you'll be shocked to learn that she hasn't posted anything about Iran spamming ballistic missiles at civilians, which *are* actually random strikes.

"Martyr Made," praised by Tucker Carlson as one of the most important "popular historians" (Twitter gasbag, he means) alive, calls for America bombing Tel Aviv, because he's so "anti-war" and "against US foreign intervention."

And fucking Matt Walsh thinks it's America's job to stop... Israel.

Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog

Iran does not pose any credible threat to the United States. We do not need to get involved in yet another war in the Middle East for reasons that have nothing to do with defending our own nation.

Kurt Schlichter @KurtSchlichter

Iranians have literally murdered hundreds of Americans. I don't want any part of any movement that doesn't make avenging the deaths of Americans central to its purpose. Haven't we learned our lesson about tolerating this crap?

Iran is sacrificing everything to build a fucking nuclear bomb, Walsh. Do you believe them when they say they're enriching uranium up to weapons grade for Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Purposes?

They intend to use it. They can put it on a missile, or they can just "lose" it to a group of totally unaffiliated terrorists who, alas, detonate it in America. And Matt Walsh will say, "You can't hit Iran, they didn't detonate the nuke. Some terrorists tht Iran totally wasn't funding just stole it."

I'm so fucking tired of these grifters taking ever more extremist positions to appease a conservative minority which is much smaller than the grifters think it is.

They keep claiming that other country's wars are our wars and that we have to affirmatively go to war with countries like Israel to show how "anti-war" we are.

No foreign interventions, guys, except the foreign interventions against Israel on behalf of Muslim terror states. Those we're obligated to do.

Fuck you.

The Horseshoe Theory is real. So many "right-wing" people have simply adopted the entire left-wing Peace At Any Cost agenda. But they change the words to make it sound "tougher." Instead of bleating about foreign civilians, they just claim that they're extra-special indifferent to the lives of foreign civilians and that's why we have to sometimes help Iran kill foreign Israeli civilians.

See? That's "tough." That's not the old-fashioned pansy-ass leftwing anti-American agenda. This is a new-fangled tough, patriotic anti-American agenda.

But it's still the same antisemitism. No, Matt, we do not run Israel, and despite your strong implication, Israel does not run America. Israel is a sovereign state which has been attacked by Iran since the seventies, and if they want to go to war with Iran, they have my blessing and support, although they need neither.

Old left-wing peacenik agenda: We're so concerned with foreign civilians that we are reflexively hostile to both American and Israeli counter-attacks on Muslim terrorists

New "right-wing" peacenik agenda: We're so sociopathically indifferent to foreign civilians that we are reflexively hostile to both American and Israeli counter-attacks on Muslim terrorists

It's the same shit. You just adopted the Code Pink/ANSWER platform and did a quick rebrand using anti-foreigner sentiment instead of pro-foreigner sentiment. It all shakes out the same way, and is actually offered for all the same reasons that the Red-Green alliance offered the agenda -- they're anti-America, anti-Israel, and anti-Western, and pro-Muslim terrorists and pro-foreign despot.

Good video: Israeli warplanes refueling over Syria. Maybe the previous video I linked was not over Iran, as I said, but just over Syria.
