Few Notes on the attacks on Iran: 1. Israel started the attacks, then joined by the US, according to most sources. 2. Iran was hit hard in Tehran and elsewhere, causing many casualties including an entire girls school (death toll at 87 now). 3. Iran struck back at Israel and US Bases in Arab countries. 4. Arab Governments condemned Iran’s response (WTF?). These include KSA, UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, and now Egypt. 5. Israel has been hit hard in Tel Aviv and Haifa by Iranian missiles and drones, with marked damage 6. The UK just joined the American-Israeli offensive. Genocidal maniacs come together. 7. Hizballah has not joined in. 8. Iran is beginning to hit using advanced weapons/rockets it has not used in the 12-Day “war” (e.g., liguid fuel rockets, as reported). 9. Israeli Channel 15 is claiming Iran hit Tel Aviv with nuclear warheads (clearly untrue, but a potential pretext for escalation). Keep watching for "pretexts" for going all out. 10. The Straight of Hurmuz has been closed according to reports. 11. The United States has not yet gone all out, reflecting trepidation despite it’s fire power. This also applied to Israel, and certainly Iran. 12. American social media and Americans are for the first time in memory producing opposition statements that range from condemning US attacks to saying things ubiquitously like “we started this, now we must eat a di*k.” This is NOT insignificant, and driven by the 80%-85% opposition to this unprovoked attack widely view as being carried out on behalf of Israel. ---- For now, one noticeable note, perhaps among many others: Iran has clearly “learned,” or changed its policy of restraint it adopted during Israel’s Genocide in Gaza (when HIzballah possessed its full force, weapons and leadership) or the restraint it exhibited during the 12-day war and response to the US strikes mid-year 2025. That policy of restraint (and potentially restraining Hizballah) was considered a potentially fatal mistake on the part of Iran by many. Iran is not going all out yet, but is no longer restrained, recognizing 1) this "war" is existential [hello!] and 2) it will not be quick, calling for rationing resources, not least as the “coalition” stacked against it expands. Those who see a clear outcome, ought to think again. Ramifications will become apparent in 24 hours, economic, diplomatic, and otherwise, determining the next course of events. This is not just about sheer military power. [the image below is from Dubai]
