Have we lost any US servicemen in Ukraine or combatting the Iranians?

Presumably the regime has to consider that - minimal chance they end up retaining control if they keep escalating

Is this true? Would this not be seen as direct US involvement in the attacks? Are we at war?

Being described as all out attack.

US directly shot down Iranian drones the other night, so that ship has sailed

IIRC, the Iranian state is set up more to suppress their own people than repel attacks from outsiders.

They may be stuck between Scylla and Charybds if it comes to focusing on Israeli actions and suppressing their civilians.

If you’ve already hit nuclear sites, consulates, and senior military leadership, what stopping you from the decapitation of the mullahs?

Hamas and Gaza have been taking care of the the puppet since October 7th. This seems like taking care of the puppet master.

Someone let me know when the adults are back in charge? None of this shite happens under Trump.

After the Ritter stuff, I was curious about that as well. We'll see what Iran does. Ritter said "could", so let's see if they do anything.

I think they would rather have the mullahs castrated and impotent than removed completely.

I seriously doubt we’re taking part in this.

Plausible deniability.

I’d be surprised if Israel even told Biden they were doing it. They definitely shouldn’t have. The Biden administration would have probably tried to stop them and warned Iran.

Is it a net pair or a net negative if Iranian nuclear sites are destroyed?

Given that this has happened, we all have to pray that it is really effective.

If the Iranians get a massive missle attack off, that's where a Nuclear threat arrises.

Iran just shut down all flights indefinitely.

Biden already told Bibi not to retaliate. Bibi showed him his nuts.

Remember all that “this is just the Iranians saving face” bullshite you guys kept pumping in the last round of attacks? Quite of few of you kept repeating it while downplaying the response.

Doesn’t look like Israel gives two fricks about the Iranian’s saving face.

From an Israeli perspective? The mullahs sponsor active terrorism next door to Israel and facilitated the worst attack on Israeli soil in years. If you cripple their nuclear capabilities while taking out leadership, you’ve created a power vacuum in an impotently limp state.

That’s gotta be better than the status quo.
