Agree with @blehblah.bsky.social. The pattern is too regular and the individual objects too regular and alike to be simple debris.

I do recall Iranian officials claiming a day or so ago to have something up their sleeve. Could be these are all submunitions, could be some are penetration aids.

Convention on Cluster Munitions - Wikipedia

International treaties only apply to signatory nations. Neither Iran, Israel, nor the United States are signatories.

SCIF now stands for “Some Curtains In Front”

When I hear John Bolton say, “There could be a lot of turmoil, a lot of bloodshed,” all I picture is COL Kilgore saying, “Someday this war is going to end.”

he's right

That is just a list of Iranian government and military officials they’ve killed over the last few years, including back in June.

The mere fact that the CIA is leaking about having covert ops tells me that the CIA is not ready.

I find I am honestly unsure what the long term implications are of the United States demonstrating twice in three months that its new preferred way of war is to engage in bolt-from-the-blue decapitation strikes with no obvious follow-up plan.

My instinct is that it will not turn out well.

I’m not very knowledgeable about Islam, but isn’t Ramadan a little early for udhiyah?

After all the munitions being expended by CENTCOM right now, I have a feeling they might have to send some men to fetch him.

Shortly after the first set of explosions, Iranians received bursts of notifications on their phones, not from the government advising caution, but from a prayer timing app called ‘BadeSaba Calendar’ which has been downloaded 5 million times from the Google Play Store. The messages arrived in quick succession over a period of 30 minutes, starting with the phrase ‘Help Has Arrived’ at 9:52 am Tehran time. No party has claimed responsibility for the hacks. Screenshots shared with WIRED Middle East show messages urging Iranian military personnel to surrender their weapons with the promise of amnesty. It also urged army personnel to join “the forces of liberation” and to “defend your brothers.”

And the Strait of Hormuz?

Yeah. Big mistake by Iran. Huge!

I’ll take harder-line replacements for the current leadership who don’t have a strategic rocket force or nuclear weapons than the current guys who do.

Also, it doesn’t matter how hardline the replacements for the regime leadership are if you kill them, too.

Imagine living in Taiwan and contemplating such issues.

Can you imagine if China chose now to invade Taiwan?

Presumably will be something similar from the Houthis in the Red Sea?

Gotta be tough for so many NatSec Dems right now. They all want to see Iran go down. But not like this.

They are going to have to rebrand from “MAHA” to “MUAHAHAHA”

I don’t understand why you think he is detached from reality AND lying. Usually, these two are separate, mutually exclusive explanations.

Most people attend college as a prerequisite to making better money in a career into which the degree they "earn" grants entry. They are there to earn, not to learn. If they can get a degree in a technical field without having to do the work to pass liberal arts prerequisites, many will.
