Iran is a HUGE country and with many sites spread out all over the country.
And it's pretty much at max range even for F-15I's.
So you're talking sub strikes from the Persian Gulf to hit even a few sites with a few more sites bombed.

Israel has decided to hit Iran “clearly and forcefully” and is already preparing its warplanes to carry out the strike, according to a report on Monday.
The reported decision comes after two war cabinet meetings in which leaders of the Jewish nation debated how to respond to Saturday’s barrage of 350 suicide drones and missiles.
Israel’s Channel 12 news carried the report — which was widely picked up in local media.
Channel 12 said the country’s air force — which includes US-made F-16, F-15 and F-35 fighter jets — is already gearing up to deliver a retaliatory counter-strike against the rogue Islamic nation, though no timeline was provided.
According to the report, the strike will be intended as a message that Israel “will not allow an attack of that magnitude against it to pass without a reaction.”

Ezekiel 38 is going to happen one of these days. Prophesied about 2,600 years ago. It’s for the Latter Days (v. 16) and the Latter Years (v. 8) (KJV).

Ezekiel 38 King James Version (KJV)
1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
10 Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Yes indeed, here we go.
It will be interesting to see how the F-35 works in a real attack, this could be the first time the F-35 has been used in a such a manner.
This back-and-forth response is sure to get more violent as the attacks take place and no one know when it will stop and where it will ultimately lead.
Exactly where did this intel come from? That’s what I want to know. If Israel actually has an attack plan no one should know about it. It’s either speculation or a leak designed to stop it.
Then do it already, why does Israel have to keep making these announcements? Are they hoping that US troops will do it for them like we always do?
Why would Israel telegraph what they’re gonna do? 🤷
They are normally way more discrete than this.
There has to be an airfield somewhere in Iran with drones parked all over it.
They’re hoping the US jumps in. We’re already going to send them another aid package, on top of the billions we send them annually. But they really want direct US intervention the most.
Israel doesn’t usually advertise its intentions...unless it serves a purpose.
Or it's feasible to conclude that this would be the appropriate response and Israel is preparing for it.
Things Iran has said lately indicate they expect a significant response. They'd be fools not to. and it's not because of intel leaks but because that's what people do, and it seems to be especially ingrained in muslim culture and thinking.
> They’re hoping the US jumps in. <
And that wouldn’t be too hard to accomplish. All Israel or the CIA need do is set up a false flag where a major US asset in the region gets hit by Iran (but really not by Iran). Perhaps a striking US Navy ship will do.
Kinda like the Gulf of Tonkin incident from 1964.
It’s an election year, and Biden needs a boost in the polls. Wars tend to give such a boost. For a while, anyway.
According to Islam, there are only two parts to this world -- the "house of Islam" and the "house of war." Probably advisable to take them at their word....
Specifically, I am thinking closer to home -- as in, Dearborn, Michigan and some sitting in our US Congress.
The world erupts the year Biden is done but still in office.
Shocker.
Yep...here we go.
They need to finish Gaza and Hamas Firts. What are they waiting for?
If Israel divulges what they are planning on doing, I am quite sure they have thought it out quite though roughly as to how come and why. Aside from that, a while back Israel got a shipment of bunker busters from the US which to my knowledge haven’t been used yet, maybe Israel wants to make use of them. I wonder if any of those war birds are capable to carry those heavy things?
Agreed. I'm wondering if Israel asked Iraq and Jordan if they could use their airspace to keep from having to attack Iran from one narrow point from the gulf. Perhaps Israel thought that the process of asking other countries for airspace use will wind up being leaked out anyway, so Israel might as well telegraph the message in a way that sounds better than someone else announcing it.
