Unnamed US official confirms Israeli airstrike in Iran.
And then there is this...(note the time).
Civilian aircraft are starting to vacate the scene, rapidly.
Diverting for regional hubs.
Per Iranian-run FARS news agency, the explosions were reported around Isfahan Airport and Hashtam Shikari Air Base.
Isfahan International Airport is where 3 squadrons of F-14As are located (81st, 82nd and 83rd TFS).
Flights to Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz and all other airports in western Iran have been suspended, Iran's state-affiliated Mehr News Agency reports.
UNCONFIRMED
Iraqi sources are reporting that Israel has attacked a building in Baghdad holding high level IRGC and Shiite militia meetings. This would be unprecedented. Israel has never struck Baghdad openly before.
UNCONFIRMED
BTW...
Today is Supreme Leader Khamenei's birthday.
Just sayin...
BTW
This is also not confirmed, yet.
NBC reporting 7 sites in Iran hit, all nuclear related.
Israel only has 2 weapons that can reach Bandar Abbas.
1: Jericho II ICBM's (conventional wahead)
2: Popeye Turbo (sub launched cruise missile, conventional warhead).
The whole world (with access to real time satellite images) would have screamed bloody murder if the Jericho silos opened up.
ABC now reporting that at least one Israel ballistic missile was fired into Iran.
(how that happened without the Russians or Chinese spilling the beans is beyond me)
-
Iranian news is claiming "no explosions on the ground and all aerial targets eliminated."
As if...
Video of the fires on the ground in Isfahan are already flying around the Internet and Iran didn't activate their air defenses or NOTAM until the attack was already over.
Fars News reports that nuclear facilities in Isfahan are secure
Iranian official: "There's been no airstrike in Isfahan or other parts of the country. They only made a failed and humiliating attempt to fly quadcopters, and they were all shot down."
er...
ok then...
U.S. source confirms an Israeli strike within Iran, says the U.S. was not involved, and there was pre-notification to U.S. from the Israelis
White House, NSC declining to comment on Middle East tonight.
"Tell Me, Mr. Anderson... What Good Is A Phone Call If You're Unable To Speak?"
Starting to look like this is a one and done strike by the IDF.
A message to the Mullahs. We can hit you hard, and you cannot hit us.
Dawn video from Isfahan nuclear reactor site shows all quiet. 23mm anti-aircraft guns manned but gunners standing around smoking cigarettes.
No fire, no smoke.
-
Iranian media downplaying the attack, calling it "Small and everything intercepted".
That might be an indicator that they're deescalating.
Might.
@Render any info on oil facilities or hubs? Doesn't look to me like the rapid explosive exit of Iran from the oil business ..?
@GamerzATX Negative.
@Render thanks for all you do.
IDF Spokesman: At this time, there is no change in the directives of the Home Front Command. If there are any changes in the future, the public will be informed. -News12
