Confirmed Israel attacked Iran

💠Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, announced that the Israeli government has carried out a preemptive strike against Iran “to eliminate threats against the State of Israel.”

Katz declared a special state of emergency across the country and warned that missile and drone attacks against Israel and its civilian population are expected soon.

Instructions from the Home Front Command must be followed, and people should remain in protected locations.

    Why are the US’s/Israeli military constantly doing decapitation strikes now? Maybe its survivorship bias (literally) or I’m just misinformed, but I feel like even 10-20 years ago the leader would be the last thing to go, rather than the first (or in some case, only. As in the kidnapping of Maduro)

    As the resident Syrian hater of Rojava, I have an interesting bit of news to share this time.

    🇹🇷🇮🇶❌🇺🇸— Kurdish faction called Hizbullah al-Thuri claims to attack the Erbil airport and specifically the American military base with a suicide bomber. And the statement opens with the words “We are the sons of Salahuddin”.

    Hopefully, even if this is small, it represents the potential for a shift in the Kurdush movement into an actual anti-imperialist force.

    🇮🇷| The IRGC public relations:

    During a drone & missile attack by the IRGC Navy on one of the gathering locations of American “terrorist” forces in the city of Dubai, UAE, more than 160 American marines were reportedly present.

    The IRGG reports large amounts of casualties in this combined drone–missile attack.

    🇧🇭🇺🇸🇮🇷| Targeted assassination of American officers from the US Navy 5th fleet HQ inside a building (likely hotel) in Bahrain.

    4 days ago, the WP had reported that Iran is targeting Pentagon personnel in hotels.

    I geolocated it and it’s the Fontana Infinity rental appartments in Manama Bahrain.

    Iran will target Israeli nuclear site of Dimona if Israel and the U.S. seek regime change, the Iranian semi-official ISNA news agency reported, citing an Iranian military official said.

      Okay? Target it then.

      They’ve stated multiple, multiple, multiple times they seek regime change. They killed the supreme leader, they’ve said they did that to remove the regime. So go ahead. It’s the whole purpose of this war, they’ve never hidden it.

        Iran is wary of the fact that Israel has nukes. It only takes one to end the war. And Israel is too insane to not launch it. The government of Israel is filled with complete fanatics.

        I just hope Iran is building a dirty bomb with their enriched uranium. Fine, they won’t get a clean nuke anytime soon, but then if they get nuked, they have to respond with a dirty bomb that renders Jerusalem or something uninhabitable for a thousand years.

          Then don’t make threats you’re not prepared to act on.

          Don’t draw red lines then let the enemy cross them or the enemy will never take you seriously. The very fact they’re already attacking you in such a massive operation and seeking regime change shows the time for deterrence by words is long gone and the time for deterrence by deeds has arrived.

            My brother in Christ it’s information warfare. You say whatever you need to to minimise harm to yourself while also ensuring you don’t do shit that turns the world on you and makes the unhinged lunatics even worse.

            If Iran attacks a nuclear power plant, it’s going to very likely get nuked, and irrespective of what anyone here thinks, that will be the end of the war with a decisive loss for Iran. No exceptions.

            But at the same time, Iran needs to get the message across that their last laugh would be making Israel as uninhabitable as possible.

            War isn’t the time to get into emotions. You do whatever is necessary to win on top of minimising your losses. Iran is in for the long run. A war of attrition is the best approach for Iran.

            Any other city can be remade again, probably elsewhere.

            Jerusalem can’t. Once Jerusalem is ruined, it’s a major blow to the evangelicals and the Zionists.

    Speculation shared in an Iranian channel

    spoiler

    TROUBLE INSIDE ISRAEL

    According to reports coming from inside Israel — particularly from Tel Aviv and Haifa — the situation is pointing toward organized civil disobedience and a breakdown of military discipline.

    When more than 200 buildings are reduced to rubble and the Iron Dome defense system is perceived to have completely failed, it is natural for the public to lose trust in the state. Based on the current situation, the internal unrest appears to have several key aspects:

    1. Clash Between the Military and Police

    Scent of Rebellion: Israeli media and social media reports suggest that several reservists have refused to report for duty. Their stance is that if the leadership (Netanyahu and the President) is absent, why should they risk their lives?

    Police Violence: Clashes have occurred between civilians and police in the streets of Tel Aviv. People are protesting the lack of facilities in bunkers and the government’s “silence.”

    1. Internal Displacement Crisis

    From North to Center: Due to Hezbollah’s attacks, hundreds of thousands of Israelis had already relocated from northern areas. Now, following the destruction of 200 buildings in Tel Aviv, even the previously considered “safe” central regions are witnessing a wave of internal displacement, overwhelming local administration systems.

    1. “Psychological Warfare” in Bunkers

    The “psychological crisis” mentioned in Statement No. 8 by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is reportedly becoming visible on the ground. Underground bunkers in Israel are overcrowded, with reports of severe shortages of food and medicine. Tensions are rising, with incidents of people attacking one another, and the military is facing serious challenges in controlling the situation.

    1. Political Vacuum and the Rise of “Militias”

    In Netanyahu’s absence, extremist groups within Israel have reportedly begun arming themselves. These groups are making decisions independently of the government, potentially pushing the country toward internal civil war.

    Summary:

    Israel is currently fighting on two fronts — externally against Iran and its allies, and internally against a collapsing domestic structure. The withdrawal or distancing of France and other allies has reportedly dealt a final blow to Israeli public confidence.

    Disclaimer: For my own mental health, I haven’t read zionist media in hebrew but several claims like the refusal of people into serving the IDF are confirmed(as far as I checked in 2025 example -> https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/knesset-advances-bill-to-demote-officers-who-encourage-refusal-to-enlist-in-idf/)

    If this is true, look like Iran strategy is correct again. Wear the population down. Keep them on edge. That’s why they launch 10 times a day with only 1-2 missiles. They will have to keep coming back and forth from shelter and workplace. And lot of stressful on population.

    Let me know your thoughts. Also, if you have information that disproves this speculation, please share it in a comment.

      Oh. Wait, so, what they wanted for Iran is actually unraveling in Israel?? Well, they shouldn’t be too upset, clearly they like this sort of chaos for others, so they should welcome it at the home front as well!

      Seriously, though, I don’t know if there are any Marxist movements in that hellhole (probably not, since the fascism is so rampant that they probably have executed any dissenters), but the conditions would be ripening for revolution if they weren’t so incredibly propagandized by their colonialist dogma and program.

    Also, Trump is not doing this to distract from the Epstein files. This is the US empire at work. It is by all means a bipartisan goal to topple Iran. Claiming it is because of Epstein is a gross insult to everyone on the receiving end of US imperialism and frankly also Epsteins victims.

    Espteins victims have been speaking up for years now with little to no consequences for people involved. Get real. It does not need any distraction.

      It seems that the Dems want to blame all on this on not the US, meaning:

      • The opposing Republican party
      • US politicians individually
      • Possibly even Israel, but I doubt it considering their hardline support
      • Speaking of the opposing party, other opposing parties
      • and people who didn’t vote for them obediently
      • and maybe even people who didn’t put in hard, yet useless work campaigning and encouraging voting

      The contradiction is that the US is supposedly one country that needs to heal its divide and understand that “we’re all American”, yet when the US does an oopsie, it was someone in the US, rather than the US itself.

        You can say something like this:

        On Trump’s post and the rumors about Khamenei’s death…

        Trump’s Truth Social post about the assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei reads like a desperate PR stunt, especially when he claims IRGC officials do not want to fight and that “now is the chance for Iranians to take back their country.”

        These posts are clearly meant to stir unrest inside Iran and nothing else.

        Is Khamenei dead or not? Who knows… Only time will tell.

        If he was killed, it would have been around 10 a.m. local time. Iran’s response to the initial US-Israeli strikes was immediate. It kept escalating throughout the day and is still escalating now. That indicates the Iranian command structure is functioning well, even better than in the summer of 2025.

        The regime change the Epstein Cabal is hoping for will not happen.

        Or

        How many times has Trump lied recently?

        🔹During negotiations: We prefer negotiation and agreement with Iran.
        🔹During the riots: Mashhad has fallen.
        🔹About the death toll: 32,000 people have died in Iran.
        🔹In the 12-day war: We destroyed all of Iran’s nuclear facilities.

        And more… @TasnimNews

    Worth thinking about:

    https://www.reuters.com/world/us/iran-crisis-tests-trump-standing-with-young-men-who-helped-power-2024-win-2026-03-04/

    Here in New Zealand, many smug “right-wing” commentators are supporting the war while ignoring that young white men voted for Trump largely because he was anti-war and promised no new regime change wars. So this isn’t about Helen Clark or the New Zealand Green Party. I don’t really care how unpopular the Green Party is with people on the fake “Zionist right”. Many people on the right disagree with Trump’s brutal bombardment of Iran and that should be the focus.

    Young men are being tricked into hating Islam and supporting the mass-destruction of Tehran. Even Alex Jones is calling Islam a cancer which isn’t what he was like 18 years ago. Someone needs to point out that Zionist jews have infiltrated the United States Government. They have either bought Trump or blackmailed him. Trump voters should be furious that a tiny foreign country, Israel, has so much control over America’s foreign policy. Not just that, but also the fact that Zionist talking points are being promoted in “america first” circles and right-wing media.

    How does “wars for Israel” fit into “America first”? Why should Israel’s security determine U.S. policy? Dual citizens should be banned and these right-wing idiots sipping wine while children die really need to think about the entire situation, rather than just score points against “the woke left who are defending the moolars”. That was never the issue.

      I used to think of Israel as just another American proxy to support American hegemony in the region. However, I’ve never seen a proxy be able to drag the U.S. into a war that is as risky as this one.

      Sure, a win against Iran might collapse the Axis of Resistance which would enable Israel to colonize the Arab world with great success. But a loss… a loss could be the nail in the coffin for the American Empire. If the U.S. is forced out of West Asia it simply won’t be able to meet its ridiculously high energy needs.

      It’s speculation, but I have to imagine Trump’s people are panicking behind the scenes to some degree. American administrators are always evil, but they haven’t been this stupid for quite a long time if ever.

    Small precision: the 5th fleet headquarters were hit (in Bahrain), not the fleet itself.

    Without the headquarter however their capabilities to deploy could be severely reduced, depending on how big the damage is and if the US has contingency in place for someone else to take over fleet command in the meantime. The fleet can operate independently to an extent but it’s not just this one base of course, Iran struck reportedly 14 bases in the region. This could (or at least was probably the goal) force US ships to leave the strait entirely. A ship can’t stay forever at sea, it needs maintenance, personnel rotation, and supplies.
