This was not unlike the "pager and walkie-talkie" attack.

"As The Mideast Turns".

Iran responded by sending 200 drones to bomb in retaliation. All intercepted and taken out. Next Iran sent three barrages of missiles. The first two barrages sent 100 missiles. The third, 50 missiles. All at Tel Aviv. Significant destruction but only four deaths. All barrages aimed at civilian areas.

Now Iran is threatening US military bases.

I wore one of my Tzva HaHagana LeYisra'el shirts yesterday and today, in "moral support" .

I'm amazed at the number of people who have approached me in public to thank me for expressing support.

This is a mistake and the US should stay as far away from it as possible. President Trump needs to listen to Tulsi Gabbard.

Here is Tulsi Gabbard's assessment from just a few weeks ago on Iran's nuclear capabilities: https://www.newsweek.com/tu...clear-weapon-2051523

TL/DR: Iran is not developing nuclear weapons.

This attack just destroyed any chance of the US making a deal with Iran. It leaves Russia as the only ones who can possibly do it and that is not going to happen any time soon.

While Israel did kill some key people, they did not destroy Iran's nuclear capability. That is nearly impossible as the facilities are deep underground. What is worse is that the attack has made Iranian critics of the regime to rally to the flag and support it against an external threat.

IMO, Israel just set diplomatic negotiations back years and failed to achieve their goals of doing significant damage to Iran's nuclear capabilities. Worse, this gives Iran an incentive to start actively developing their nuclear program.

While my crystal ball isn't all that clear, the one thing we should have learned from history is that to change the course of a nation usually takes a complete and total destruction of their leadership. Just because Iran's nuclear sites are deep underground does not mean access to them cannot be denied nor that they cannot be destroyed. Where there is the will, there is always a way.
