Wouldn’t be surprised if we start to see the first Iranian cruise missiles enter the conflict tonight. Drone activity has been reported, so it would be dumb to not use cruise missiles and ballistics

Bazan group is nearly 2% of Israeli gdp and can’t do shit without the refineries btw

missiles away!

Yep. Lots of reports of drone waves over Iraq from what I’m seeing

Most free country in the Middle East, just don’t film your hometown before it gets wiped off the map because of our fascist Freedomist state’s endless wars of aggression

Me: Jeez it really just feels like there are decades where nothing is happening rn

The ever-reliable Vladimir Lenin:

I agree that Israel is by far the most belligerent nation-state on the planet but you’d think that if they were using a nuke they’d at least test it in the remote desert or mountains of Iran as a warning, not ON Tehran after lying for decades about whether or not they have nukes. I mean in terms of levels of escalation, the jump to using nukes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was significantly smaller considering the scale of the war than Israel nuking fucking Tehran would be after what? 8 back and forth volleys of missile strikes?

It can’t be nukes, right? There’s just no way it can be nukes

No longer being friends with somebody because they are being mean to you?

Iran is definitely facing the same issue, but I think Iran (and Israel) have identified Iran’s win condition: Make the already overextended Zionist state unsustainable through exodus. Iranians have nowhere to go and will fight for Iran. Israelis are attempting to flee in such large quantities that Israel banned nationals from leaving on flights.

Yeah. I have wondered the same about Israel my whole life. It is analogous to apartheid in South Africa, but conditions and privileged class size are dramatically different, so it didn’t seem like a “critical mass” of native peoples would be able to topple it unless every Palestinian refugee from Gaza, the West Bank, and surrounding countries that were displaced by the Nakba suddenly encroached peacefully back to their homeland. Obviously unlikely to happen.

After October 7, I think the actual strategy finally started making sense to me when we started seeing mass exodus of settlers to nations they hold dual citizenship. You do not necessarily need to defeat the Israeli military to beat Israel, you simply need the state to become unsustainable. It is already spread so thin that hemorrhaging settler population is something it simply can’t afford to do. All of its institutions rely on steady influx of settlers as well as a relatively high domestic birth rate. This is only sustained because of the Nazi-esque pseudoscience and mythology that Israel’s privileged class is safe because of their superiority to their neighbors AS A PEOPLE, and if you are Jewish YOU TOO are one of those superior people and you should move to Israel.

The most sad part about it is that there are actually Jews native to Palestine, before Zionism, with a real culture and history and connection to the land who have been the victimized by Israeli settler-colonialism. Like all settler colonies, the beliefs and history of the native people could not coexist alongside that of the settlers. Their native beliefs and culture and lifestyle have been systematically twisted and thus erased by a fascist project with no actual interest in protecting the storied history of Jews native to Palestine, or anywhere for that matter. The Zionist entity’s only goal, as a fascist settler-colonial project, was to create a new, “superior” Jewish identity to those of old; one that strategically dismantles, co-opts, tosses away, or corrupts the REAL incredible stories, history, and unique cultures of Jewish diaspora as a truly globe-spanning people. The fascist Zionist project crushes all of that down and spins it into the same, tired, all encompassing lie that every fascist state tells its people.

We all know the mythology that built Israel up: their supposedly heroic and invincible armies against the Arab coalitions, their “turning the desert green” myth, their “all Jews are diaspora from this land” myth, its “best cuisine in the world and totally not co-opted actual cultural dishes” myth, its “only democracy in the Middle East” myth, its being an integral part of “an ancient western belief” in Judeo-Christian values, and so on and so on. The millisecond that bubble of superiority is popped, Israel loses everything because it never actually had anything. When there is no sense of superiority to believe in, there genuinely is no Israel.

Maybe a hot take but they shouldn’t make an Israel anywhere. This would just make it so there is a Palestine in Europe.

They have not. They have not claimed any of the sporadic cumulative handful of drones that Israel claims to have shot down. They also haven’t used their most advanced missile tech or least advanced missile tech.

22 American military tankers have landed at airfields across Europe after simultaneously leaving the U.S. late last night, while three have continued directly towards the Middle East.

•2 in Aviano Air Base, Italy

•11 in Morón Air Base, Spain

•4 in Ramstein Air Base, Germany

•4 in Prestwick, Occupied Scotland

•1 in Tallin, Estonia

Will update when we find out where exactly the three still en route to the Middle East land. Remaining three tankers are all following the same flight path over the Aegean Sea toward Crete with no signs of making a descent. I assume we will lose the ability to track these flights in the coming hour or so.

Frankly, I have not seen a more clear sign that a country is preparing to enter a conflict since Russia amassing troops nearish Ukraine pre-SMO. All tankers departed from the United States at nearly the same exact time Sunday night, which is relatively unusual unless an order was issued.

Apparently there have not been Israeli jet incursions since early Sunday morning/late Saturday night.

Their “air superiority” they allegedly established over Iran seems to be when they just flood a small zone with hundreds of jets, in which case anybody would establish superiority for a brief period of time

Hmmmmm why are IOF soldiers hiding in a school
