The Silver Lining in the Dark War Cloud Over Iran
Israel’s unjustified and unprovoked attack on Iran early Friday morning, marks the full-on start of a war that is likely to change the face of the region. I mince no words… this is war. But there is a silver lining of sorts — with Israel having to use its air squadrons to launch repeated attacks on Iran and to scramble fighters into the air to try to stop Iranian drones and missiles, the Palestinians in Gaza will get a respite from daily bombings.
So, what is happening? Israel’s initial strike included the use of trailer-truck drones — the same tactic that “Ukraine” used on June 1 against Russia’s strategic air assets. Israel appears to have had more success than the Ukrainians because the Zionist drones carried out some successful assassinations of senior Iranian military leaders and some prominent nuclear scientists. If you think that Israel came up with this idea on its own, you are deluding yourself.
We still do not have a clear picture of how much damage the Israeli bombs/air-launched missiles inflicted across Iran, but the attack was significant in its scale and scope. That said, it did not cripple Iran’s ability to strike back, which it did late on Friday and early Saturday Jerusalem time. Iran also did some significant damage to Israel, reportedly striking Israel’s military headquarters building in Tel Aviv and successfully hitting three Israeli military airfields.
In the world of the so-called international rules-based order, Israel is guilty of an unprovoked attack and Iran, in accordance with Chapter VII, Article 51 of the UN Charter, is retaliating appropriately. Yet, the West is condemning Iran and gaslighting the public regarding Israel’s claim that this was an act of self-defense. Bollocks
