If this were true, we'd have seen it being denounced by every sky screamer in Congress

Alireza Tangsiri, who helmed Iran's Revolutionary Guard Navy, was targeted in an attack overnight, a senior Israeli official indicated to Fox News, noting that the strike was executed based on American and Israeli intelligence.

"The head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Navy, Alireza Tangsiri, who directly commanded the closure of the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints — was targeted in a strike overnight, along with his senior operational leadership, including intelligence and operations chiefs, at a covert naval command center. This targeted strike was based on U.S. and Israeli intelligence and continues to demonstrate how deeply it is capable of penetrating," the Israeli official noted.

Wow. I hope that this gets worldwide coverage.

But I pretty much know that it won’t.

Don't a number of the IRG leaders have children living abroad? Would be interesting to detain them as being "person's of interest"...

I think you are correct. I just hope it isn't in my lifetime. I would have to keep my shooting skills sharp past 80.

Handala has the names, addresses, family members names, etc., of 28 Lockheed engineers working in Israel doing maintenance to the planes. Scary stuff. Warned them to get out of Israel within 48 hours.

Gee, I wonder why? Wait, I KNOW!!! lol

I have friends who work those programs state side. This one hits close to home. Not sure where the data originated yet.

They're leaving b/c we're about to turn Iran into a big smudge spot in the middle of the desert, and they will likely try to retaliate.

Doesn't matter, they clearly managed to get into someone's network and steal employee data. Who knows what else they may have, or leads on how to find it.

Ok, well, networks get hacked every day of the year.

Yes, but usually that data isn't used to track the employees and threaten them and their families.

I get it. I hope everybody is fine. But if you don't know the people involved, it's not really something that gets most peoples' attention.

Wow! Every word from his mouth was the truth...and this coming from an Arab. I could see the discomfort from the haters when he was speaking because they know he was right and they don't have the nerve to say it themselves.

Anyone with a brain should realize that letting Iran continue their course would have been a disaster for everyone, again, EVERYONE. If they can do this now, i.e., close the "straight" LOL without nukes just imagine one bit, what they could do with an atom bomb. All our enemies are wise enough that using nukes would also destroy their cultures and cities, these jackwads in Iran don't give a Schiff, afterall, that's their end game, Armageddon because their stupid Quran tells them it's the right thing. For them to die as a Muslim is martydom, for others with nukes they want OTHERS to die but also know the consequences of using them.

I don't care how many tears are shed about Trump starting this conflict, not war, because Iran has basically been defanged. In the end it is now harder and perhaps soon it will be impossible for those towel heads to acquire nukes.

You watch, this speech is the first sign that the Arab nations will be willing to mobilize and secure the area on their own with boots on the ground because they know that their existance is predicated on the strait being open. It will be easier because now the Regime is devoid of air power, it's entirely a ground game now...or soon to be.

post #1 from the thread I created after 10/7/23 ... not saying it happens this weekend, but it's a gimme putt the radicalized muslims place zero value on life that opposes their hardline posture...

major damage will be inflicted over the weekend before vitrification becomes the final straw ... again, once we went all-in, there was no turning back when our boots were never an option...

they have an out ... unfortunately at this point, it's apparent they prefer their 72 virgins more ... that's simply how that mindset operates in their 'stoned age' pea brains AND WHY THEY CAN NEVER ACQUIRE NUCLEAR CAPABILITY!!!

Quote:Israel - are nukes an option against Iran
there hasn't, nor isn't, nor will there ever be peace in this region w/o cataclysmic intervention...

y'all git after muh pros and cons ... nuts zongo's in the Truman camp...

What I meant was, as long as they have that capability, they can threaten and shut down the Strait from any damn where, so until we completely eliminate their missile threat, or any other offensive threat, the Strait is not going to be open.

And Leavitt said very clearly almost 2 weeks ago that Trump was briefed on the possibility of Iran closing the Strait, ahead of time.

Then you are saying the strait is going to be shut down until there are boots on the ground, and not some small amount to take an island but actually on the ground in mainland Iran. There is no completely eliminating their ability to fire drones at the strait otherwise.

that's XACLY! correct, ollie ... for the life of me, I can't figure out the IRGC's strategy of bombing their neighbors...

IMO, their only salvo from vitrification would be boots by proxy with our continued sea/air support...

one way or the other, they're going down...
