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.
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.
meanwhile on CNN they are still going out of their way to say that they don’t know what’s going on or if this is even an Israeli operation.
@Render 🤔 huh.
@Render this restores my faith in the system, I was under the impression Israel was going to let retaliation slide after Iran said they were getting even for the embassy hit in Syria, my hopes were raised the past 2 days when Israel started rumbling about maybe conducting hits! Irans weapon development need crippled
Damn. I’ve looked at maps before but tonight I see more poignantly how small Israel is—under so much pressure 😞💙
@Minholkin Proverbial backs to the sea.

@Minholkin @Render its about the size of New Jersey I have been told. and theyre surrounded by hostiles because of the Holy land so need to be very well armed.
@Render @Minholkin thank you! I remember reading that. The visual info is great. Helps put things into perspective.
@Render @Minholkin maybe that’s what is necessary. A zoom Out … media zooms in and that’s necessary too but being able to zoom out, I know just from my own projects, really does help me.
@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.
@Render
Is it possible that post-attack NOTAM is because they're letting loose another bath of flying monke... er drones?
It is possible, but I think rather unlikely at this stage.
They know that their last wave was a complete failure despite its size, and that all of the fighter jets that took out 2/3rds (cruise/drone) of that wave are still in the region.
I don't think they want a repeat of that embarrassment.
I think they were just late in the NOTAM and in activating their air defenses. Which is also embarrassing to them.
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.
