let them cook; its too early to assume the reason for this withdrawal. it could be tactical
Israel may benefit from a lack of alignment between the President and the Ayatollah. Pezeshkian pumping the breaks when the hype is being built up for a response means Israel can delay the breakout of widespread conflict, picking off strategic officers and infrastructure like they've been doing. they've got the Resistance on the back foot for a moment; they'll try to take advantage for a few more days before flipping the board over and welcoming the unpredictability that a ground incursion would bring
its state media. if Iranian leadership thought it was advantageous for people to believe he was alive while they discussed behind closed doors how to address this crisis, then they may as well lie. no one’s married to the truth during a tense moment like this
fuck it, im chargin it with the AMRIKA too
ISRAEL!
god this whole album is so fucking good, i’m glad it blew up a few years back
a huge percentage of Israelis have dual citizenship with the Western country they were born in, usually the US or UK, and flee there when violence flares up on the frontier. Netanyahu himself is an American from Philadelphia.
small nitpick that’s not relevant to the news, but the German Empire was much more gung ho about war than the Austrians, and the German military invested a lot of time and resources towards trying to sway the Austro-Hungarian nobility to come around on war. Israel is a tail that is skilled at wagging the dog, but Austria was a more traditional attached-to-the-ass tail that doesn’t call the shots.
i don’t see it mentioned anywhere except a website called ‘iranpress’. here’s their about page:

not conclusive enough for me to say whether it is trustworthy or not, so i’m taking this story with a hand grenade sized grain of salt. if anyone had other sources or info i’m interested in seeing them though
Remember what they have taken from you, Michigan. the tyrannical Biden regime wants your children to grow up in a world without shitty tacos, denying them one of the most precious pieces of their Midwestern heritage
it very well could be— given that the US has been urging de-escalation these past few weeks (albeit halfheartedly and ineffectively), i think any escalation is likely to be unilaterally israel
that’s not to absolve the US of guilt, of course. if they gave a shit and saw Arabs as human beings and not a political problem, they could very well put their foot down on this kind of rogue operation
Axios is reporting that the US was taken off-guard and wasn’t told about the pager plan. Israel has a long-established pattern of making bold moves that fly in the faces of their colonial overlords and make the regional situation worse
worth noting— this gives Israel a way of learning/confirming which state officials in Syria and Lebanon are in direct communication with Hezbollah, and studying how Hezbollah logistically responds to country-wide casualties. the implications here are bigger than just burnmarks on some grunts’ asses. the entity gets a ton of intelligence out of this.
you absolutely do not have to hand it to IOF or the Mossad, but whoever cooked up this scheme has been laughing all afternoon and thinks themselves a genius
this is Looney Tunes shit
that's exactly how I would say I found out the base's layout if I had a spy in Fort Irwin
she’s been known to be trans for a long time, but before this week has always sidestepped accusations and questions about it. she had a Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy about her gender identity
i am proud to have been raised as a poster, personally
