Iran has launched more than 100 drones toward Israel, according to an Israeli military official, in retaliation for an Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus earlier this month...

... Iran's Defense Minister Brig. Gen. Mohammad Reza Ashtiani issued a stark warning to any country that allows Israel to utilize its airspace or territory for attacking Iran, saying they will face a “decisive response” from Iran. “Any country that opens its airspace or soil to Israel to attack Iran will receive our decisive response,”...


Brandon is reportedly in the situation room. I couldn't be more relieved.
 
We are at the brink of a spreading war.

IDF Planning "Significant Response" Against Iran As Explosions Ring Out Across Israel

Update(20:00ET): CNN is reporting there have been several explosion on the ground across Israel, but there's yet to be official confirmation of the extent of casualties. Israeli media is reporting the first as follows: "Medics treating first injury from Iran attack – a 10-year-old boy from Bedouin town near Arad in serious condition." The IDF spokesman is confirming at least one of its military bases has been hit in the south by an Iranian cruise missile, sustaining "minor damage". This was reportedly at Dimona, where Israel reportedly has undeclared nuclear weapons, making such a strike highly dangerous. Further Iran's IRNA is reporting:
Iran successfully struck the Israeli airbase in the Negev Desert with 'Khaybar' ballistic missiles.
Importantly, Times of Israel is reporting that Israel's military is preparing a response, in what is likely to become a continuing tit-for-tat in the coming days:
Israel plans a “significant response” to the unprecedented Iranian drone salvo against it, top-rated Channel 12 TV quotes an unnamed senior Israeli official as saying early on Sunday.
The IDF has called this new attack a "major escalation". Over "200 different kinds" of projectiles were fired toward Israel, the IDF spokesman said. For more than the past week Israeli leaders have firmly warned that should Iran launch retaliation from within its own soil, the Israeli response against the Islamic Republic will be 'stronger' - as Netanyahu previously put it. That's precisely what has happened and so a major Israeli response is likely.
 
According to Israeli military, 99% of the HUNDREDS of inbound drones, guided cruise missiles and unguided rockets that were fired into Israel overnight were intercepted or neutralized. Weapons were reportedly fired by Iran, the Houthi's in Yemen (supported by Iran) and also Hezbollah forces in Lebanon (supported by Iran)

Those of us old enough to remember the Danny Thomas Show on TV will recall that Lebanon used to be a nation of peace, a nation with a large Christian/Catholic community. Sadly due to economic, political and religious upheaval in that nation, the nation is unstable and hostile toward Israel and many western nations.

The country of Jordan, a neighbor of Israel, reportedly deployed its air forces and air defenses to DEFEND ISRAEL although the Kingdom refutes that publicly.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt are both "concerned" but stayed out of action, as did Kuwait, UAE and several smaller nations although most also closed their airspace to all flights in an attempt to keep US/UK fighters from taking part in support or defensive actions over their nations.




Israel has vowed there will be a response.

Iran has announced that their response is over and no further action is required, but warned Israel not to respond to their response.

President Biden, who's crazy foreign policy is funding BOTH sides of this war, is openly talking about de-listing the Houthi rebels from the terrorist list, and expressed that the USA will NOT be able to diplomatically or materially support Israel if it retaliates to the retaliation that Iran unleashed.

You dance with the bear, the bear decides when the dancing is over.

It will be an air war, a war Iran has zero chance of winning given their antiquated fleet of F-14's and Mig 29's. No match for the F-35 or even the F-15. Iran is over playing their hand in all this.
