How many kidnapped Israelis are either still hostages or bodies just haven’t been discovered by Israel yet?

The current count of those (assumed/potentially) still alive and being held is 98, I believe.

But we can’t get a clear shot of Bigfoot or a UFO.

No prop or engine on that. Just a precision unguided bomb? Accuracy is insane.

Skies are clear in Tehran. Is today the day we’ll see Israel respond?

I really don't expect anything substantial at all. It'll be menial enough to warrant a response from Iran at all.

Sounds like IRGC HQ was blown up, as well as a power station and maybe an airport. Attack seems to be already over though - so a largely measured response to "even the score". Time to see if both now back down for the moment or if Iran responds again.

Reading the tea leaves, unless someone extremely significant was killed in that IRGC HQ, it'll be the latter.

There's a reason Israel waited till 3am on a Saturday morning local time to hit it. No one of consequence was going to be there.

“All three of Israel’s main TV stations are reporting a second wave of Israeli strikes on Iran. Channel 12 quotes non-state reports in Iran saying Israeli raids are taking place in eastern Tehran and an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps command facility.

According to AFP reporters, continuous explosions and light trails are visible across the sky in central Tehran following the new blasts.

Reuters quotes local media saying that four further explosions were heard in eastern Tehran and that ‘air defense is still active’ in the capital.

The ongoing attack is expected to be a one-night affair, ABC News reports. ABC cites one source, who says there are no Israeli casualties or damage to war planes reported thus far.”

“Iran is prepared to respond to any Israeli ‘aggression,’ Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency says, citing sources.

‘There is no doubt that Israel will face a proportional reaction for any action it takes,’ Tasnim quotes the sources as saying.”

ToI live blog also reports that the Washington Post has a source claiming Israeli strikes are to continue for the next several hours, hitting air defenses and missile production.

“Israel has intensified airstrikes against key Iranian military infrastructure, focusing on missile and drone manufacturing facilities, ballistic missile launchers, and essential air defense components, according to JPS.

The strikes aim to significantly weaken Iran’s capability for aerial and missile-based attacks, with additional high-priority targets actively engaged as the operation progresses.”

I firmly believe that Iran will NOT respond.
The negotiations were worked out by the U.S ahead of time. IMO

Personally I agree with another poster that Israel should bomb water supplies, ports and bridges.

“Iran says it is obliged to defend itself after Israeli retaliatory strikes hit military targets and reportedly killed two soldiers in the Islamic Republic early this morning.

‘Iran has the right and the duty to defend itself against foreign acts of aggression,’ the Iran foreign ministry says in a statement, citing Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.

The statement comes as Sky News Arabia quotes anonymous sources as saying that Iran has informed Israel through a foreign mediator that it will not respond to the overnight strikes.”

They have to refuel and tankers aren't stealthy.

He was only wrong in that it hadn't ended yet. Israel's response was ineffective in everything except enabling them to say they responded. It was weak enough I expect Iran to largely ignore it.
