 It's not even a new level.

Well, it kinda is.... you used to have friends and allies that shared information and intelligence. Oh well... things change. :uhoh

So what's new? The Islamic Republic, Hamas, Hezbollah, etc... have been shouting death to America for decades. They could trigger an expulsion they might regret.

What a short memory. These people don't want a face to face fight. Remember 9/11? Remember what a success the "War on Terror" was?
The world knows you have an amazing stockpile of guns... but I suspect you still don't have eyes in the back of your head.

It seems you're unaware of how and why that day happened. Or you wish to turn this discussion political.

War is different now. We are striking targets and defeating military leaders leaving their military with 0 leadership and direction. We arent needing "boots on the ground" like before. Our tactics are different and our technology is far more superior than it was just 15 years ago before AI. Our military isnt hamstrung like it use to be either. I don't expect a war like Iraq and Afghanistan. When the money stops flowing so do the militias. Remember that most attacks happen when they have the funding and direction of leadership, now they dont have that. All of the middle Eastern countries are going to cave on Iran and they'll have little choice but to bend the knee.

You missed my point.

No, not at all. You ignored the entire point.

...a reasoned discussion would discuss the facts without political opinions and projections.

LOL

Definitely changed the news cycle didn't it...

Hoping loss of life is minimal, I believe it's just begun..

I would think if this action is successful - up to 40 top leaders knocked out,  it would be used in Russia next right...

LOL. Going down with the ship, I see.  Why don't you throw in some Russian prostitutes while you're at it.  You people are too easy.  The SOTU address proved that.

I know Iran had advanced Russian air defense systems and clones of their own. Did they forget to turn them on? Nothing says aren't those cute louder than attacking in broad daylight.

We didn't even hafta use the discombobulator. Yet.

I read Iran has Chinese air defense systems also. That the US and Israel own the skies over Iran has to be sobering for Russia and China.

I may have missed it, but did you guys see where the Joints Chiefs of Staff recommended against this?  They are concerned with the low levels of stockpiles of weapons.

Also saw a vid on Twitter where some Iranian teenage female was ecstatic that they had hit the leadership compound.. maybe they will fight to get their cou try back.
