The IRGC, the regime, and the long shadow.
I am so torn between understanding the role Khameini’s regime and the IRGC, directly and via the proxy armies they fund, train, and direct, have played in not just oppressing and killing their own citizens but in repeatedly threatening my life, my wife’s life, my daughters’ lives, the lives of my friends and neighbors, Israeli … Read more
Morning Questions I’m sitting on the bus wondering: Did the combined Israeli-American strikes (particularly on Fordow) decimate Khameini’s nuclear program? Or is it still intact? Were these decisive moves or political posturing? How many times will we go through this dance?
Allow me to parse this for you. POTUS is ambivalent on Iran. His real issue was with Obama. He had been listening to the isolationists in MAGA telling him to stay out of Iran, but then saw the Israeli attack “winning” and wanted some of the attention for himself. “No nukes for Iran!” is an … Read more
Reportedly, the Fordow mountain nuclear enrichment site has been hit with 12 bunker buster bombs, each weighing 15 tons. It may be too early to tell, but by all indications Khameini’s nuclear program has been essentially closed. That is the good part of the story. The bad: – POTUS authorized this action without seeking let … Read more
It amazes me that there are people who consider Israel the aggressor against Iran in this or any war. The missile barrages did not start with the IAF’s bombing of nuclear and military sites, which itself did not occur in a vacuum. The “pushy” “aggressive” Jew is a stereotype created by people who are uncomfortable … Read more
I’m so frum that whenever an ayatollah fires a hypersonic missile barrage, I put on my shoes left foot first
I’m sitting in the stairwell with window rattling booms and thunderous rumbles overhead, chatting with ChatGPT about these hypersonic missiles that Khomeini is firing at me, and the whole concept of shooting and intercepting missiles beyond the atmosphere is fascinating.
Is it just me or have Houthi missile attacks increased in frequency since the new regime came to power in the USA? And especially since Witikoff started traipsing around the Middle East….? Seems the Ayatollahs and their proxies feel rather emboldened by the POTUS….
Loose lips sink ships so I’m not publicly going to go into detail on my iss lest Iranian govt passes the intel along to the Houthis, but today’s non-interception was problematic from several angles. Really drives home how much we depend on Hashem for our protection. A missile-defense system is just a vessel, and does … Read more
To Joe’s summary below, I will only add that this is shameful company in which to find ourselves, on an issue that should be a no-brainer. Our national security on the Syrian front (Russia could invade our airspace at any time and bomb Jerusalem if they wanted) can not be tied to appeasing the imperialism … Read more
