No attack from Iran on Israel. Great news!! They must have decided to stand down.

Contrary to stupidity, Iran is a big nobody and has no meaningful support besides fringe groups in that kind of endeavor.

Didn’t Biden bribe them with lifting sanctions?

Those fringe groups cause a lot of trouble.

I wish an Iranian would.

I’m all about staying out of the ME cluster, but damn do I hate the Iranians. Just need/want an excuse.

They have very little to gain from direct confrontation.

Their game is plausible deniability through Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis.

A direct confrontation likely interferes with that.

It might sound counterintuitive, but I’d suggest no retaliation by Iran is actually worse for stability.

They know better, Israel would wipe them off the map in a week if they did something stupid.

Forgive me for not giving all of the information or the source, because I can’t remember.

But there’s some thought or scare tactic or general talk about it being like 8/13 or 8/14 because in Jewish history it’s a terrible day. The date Has a name.

What I seem to remember:
Both temples fell
One of the world’s wars maybe?

I’ll see what I can narrow down more precise in the morning.

———————————————————-
Here. Quick read.

The Saddest Day

If they haven’t attacked by the end of next week, I’ll agree with chickened out.

Supposedly waiting for the end of the Olympics. I don’t know Iran will attack but hezbollah definitely will.

Maybe not, but those terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah sure are annoying the way they go around instigating war.

The Mullahs remember what happened to Saddam Hussein when he pulled the trigger before having his nukes. They won’t give the Jews a reason to wipe out their nuclear weapons facilities again. Israel showed their intel capabilities by whacking High Ups right under their noses. The dummies willingly do martyrdom but the smart Leaders don’t.

i have read that russia is flying in a bunch of high tech equipment like s400 and s500 air defense systems. meanwhile, has israel come to a standstill waiting for the attack? i know the tel aviv airport has. bebe wants this war so it will happen. we have already been dragged into it.

Even more important is that when Israel killed those Hamas bigwigs in Tehran every swinging dick in Iran realized Israel can get him too. No one wants to give the orders that move him to the top of the list.
