    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.

    There’s not many ways Israel could escalate to de-escalate this outside of launching preemptive strikes on Iran.  

    Ballistic missiles are a little bit like space rockets. 

    They aren’t just lugged around tethered to a Nissan and launching one takes a little bit of skill. 

    They can do up to 3km of damage.

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

  4. Does Iran need more parking lots? Because this is how Iran will get more parking lots?

  5. 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

  6. >“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

  9. We saw this last time too. “Ballistic missiles imminent” and they ended up lobbing some CMs that got shot down easily just so they could be seen to do something. If they actually launch ballistic missiles it’s going to escalate things massively.

  10. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. Alright, with the Russia/Ukraine war and this, are we teetering towards another World War or will they just keep killing eachother without anyone else getting involved? And how does any of this end?

  15. I’ve said this before but.. Are we not just in WWIII at this point? But they’re just not announcing it because it will make the stocks go nuts and people panic and crime go up etc.? Sure, UK, US and all that aren’t in direct conflict, but they’re proxy warring it by the seems of it.

  16. is this the “win” biden was speaking about when iran did this less than 6 months ago. imagine if mexico regularly did this to the USA…

  17. DrinkExcessWater on

    Hezbollah was just a carrot on a stick to draw out Iran’s response so Israel could justify their own counterattack.

    5D chuck E cheese, boys.

  18. DiscipleOfYeshua on

    If there is generally accepted evidence this is so, any preemptive strike by Israel will be acceptable (except by those who always complain, but there’s no point counting those)

  19. **For the uninformed** how is this different than the rocket and drone attacked is it simply the destructive power or is it more than that?

  20. Successful-Money4995 on

    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.

  21. Someone is going to be second guessing those cheap Mashugana Mobile cell phone plans they switched to last year….

  22. Russia has a lot riding on this US Election, they need pressure from their Allies on all US fronts.
