I did not know that. It does remind me of when we sent F-117s over Baghdad. They seemed to know they were there and were sending up huge amount of anti aircraft but not hitting anything.

I’m of the mind the ME, save Israel, should be blown off the map. All Muslim countries have been or will be against the US - and civilization in general. We can teach them how to build skyscrapers and get out of the caves, but not to be civilized as a people.

Israel decided to spin their Fabulous Wheel O’ Targets again?

"I been hopin’ it’s US secret ops that’s been making things blow up good over there."

Since the CIA is still likely controlled by the last administration, I doubt the spooks would do anything to upset Barrack and ValJar.

Kinetic weapons aka “rods from God”

Most CIA paramilitary types are contracted, so they are not effected by administrations. It’s actually a pretty good gig if you can get it.

While the official refused to specify how the US got hold of the intelligence, he or she confirmed that the Islamic Republic has changed the alert status on its surface-to-air missile batteries, in a move indicating it would fire at airborne targets perceived as a potential threat.

Well, if it wasn't every broadcast TV station in the Gulf Region getting poor reception because the Iranians are broadcasting on every emitter, then it was the USAF ELINT birds. I'm sure the Iranians have so much running that they're running short of electricity.

Not out of the question...

That’s in Istanbul so shouldn’t be a problem

“in a move indicating it would fire at airborne targets perceived as a potential threat“

So Iran will defend itself?

Amazing! Shocking!

Wish we would do the same. Our war is here.

Should I cancel my airline reservations to Tehran?

Nah - if enough others do it, you might get some good discount deals...like maybe a free upgrade to First Class and then find out it's an "Epstein Special"...

Go Mossad, blow some other things up in Iran.
They deserve it.

I was thinking of a different mosque in Iran. I went to look it up, and there are a lot of blue mosques there, and I couldn’t find the one I was thinking of. It’s covered in blue tile.
