ETA this isn't an official proclamation

There's already rumours that some world leaders are calling the attack 'illegal' and are calling on the U.N. security council. I don't know whether it's connected or not but Macron has reportedly set up a meeting with the U.N. for Monday?

This will be decided before the UN gets together and drafts their strongly worded statements.

I'm shocked.
Really.
Starmer comes across as a wuss.

Well ... it's been one hour since Iran announced that the 'Supreme Leader' would be on TV in minutes to make a statement.    He hasn't shown up.    I'm thinking that Iran saying that he was coming on in minutes was spin.  Bagdad Bob style.   We'll see ...

Well, I hope for the sake of the world and our country that this is quick, whatever the objectives are.

... over 40,000 dead Iranians from just the last few months

That's horrible. I hope they can take their country back. I just don't see why it's our responsibility.

How many times does that happen in Africa while barely making the news?

They must have seen all the American FBI/spy TV shows were the broadcast/call is traced back to the source!!

And?

So?

You're a fool if you think for an instant that I agree with Trump on everything.

Looks like we lost a radar dome at the 5th fleet headquarters in Bahrain I think it is?
Thats not too bad, I wonder how  long it takes for the damage in Israel to leak out.
Iran Reports 
There  is video of course from various perspectives nearby the base, including the direct drone strike that killed that radar dome. Russian Source has the best angle. Per usual Israel is blocking any kind of media escape by heavily regulating its internet.

Most  of the legacy  media seems to be focused on the missile that fell in Abu Dhabi after it was intercepted in the air. It is interesting, as you can just see a mostly intact missile just free falling to the ground.



Iran is now insisting it will only respond in kind to further aggression. I wonder if all of this is a negotiated theater??
