this kind of attack, without more details, is entirely disconnected from any kind of self-defense claim, evidence of a motive that’s illegal under the UN Charter.

Psychotic Jerusalem Post editorial wants U.S. to "Forge a Middle East coalition for Iran’s partition. Encourage long-term plans for a federalized or partitioned Iran.... Offer security guarantees to Sunni, Kurdish & Balochi minority regions willing to break away." This is far past even regime change

Sorry guys, but I really think this will happen almost immediately, possibly overnight. President Fucknuts is impulsive and thinks he can get it all done and dusted really quick. He may think it deprives Israel of prolonging the campaign (wrong), that Iran may seek a deal (wrong).

“US intelligence assessments had reached a different conclusion—not only was Iran not actively pursuing a nuclear weapon, it was also up to three years away from being able to produce and deliver one…according to four people familiar with the assessment” www.cnn.com/2025/06/17/p...

They will bomb Fordow. Israel cannot do it. Trump will try to leave everything but the big strike to Israel and limit it. It won't work. Might buy some diesel tomorrow..

Good @nktpnd.bsky.social thread on why Trump's irresponsible posting is so scary, whatever he may or may not have decided. The enemy gets a vote.

Warning over risk to endangered birds' nests from dogs www.rte.ie/news/regiona... Don't assume you can let your dog loose if there are no sheep. Keep your dog on a leash in woods, wetlands, heath, bog and mountains. It is uncultivated land but its only wild if you're not destroying nesting grounds.

Beyond the abuse of the word deterrence, and recognising the utter shit show in US diplomacy and military administration, it is a bit rich to be faulting anyone in the WH for not having the amassed forces of the US in the Persian Gulf to protect the belligerent launching a war with no co-ordination.

LOL “Counterproliferation Gazelle” Israel seems pretty damned maximalist if were trying to get Trump to sign off on assassinating Supreme Leader. That is not something one does if one expects to negotiate w/existing regime ffs.

Two things are true. 1. This is militarily impressive and significantly enhances Israel's ability to limit damage to itself in a conventional war. 2. In a nuclear war, this level of damage limitation wouldn't feel at all meaningful.

This isn't a nuclear site. The Israeli campaign isn't against the nuclear site infrastructure. And it isn't a SAM site protecting that infrastructure. They're engaged in a regime decapitation campaign.

I’m increasingly worried the plan here is to project Syria’s fate onto Iran. I have doubts they succeed, but the kind of regime change war Israel is embarking on is one that prioritizes a broken, weak Iran over any particular political or ideological character.

Iranian regime self-preservation instincts appear not to have been sharpened by the Hezbollah degradation campaign. A lot of obvious targets being caught in the open. A weird dynamic that the IDF might over-achieve on weakening or preventing response, and thus the US do not get drawn in.

Looks like the Israelis are now hitting targets around Tabriz. Like the pager attacks against Hezbollah, yesterday night was the start of a rolling assault, not a one-off.

The United States destroyed the Iranian nuclear deal Israel launched a war. They are 100% responsible for this. And their voters picked these miserable tyrants as leaders willingly and freely, because they are violent and dysfunctional countries.

A note on this: Israel is calling this operation a "preemptive" one; this is incorrect. It is preventive (which is illegal under international law). Netanyahu himself suggested Iran was "months" to "a year" away from a nuclear weapon capability in his speech announcing the operation.
