Pointer to Eternity with Dr. Georgy

If Iran laid down its weapons tomorrow, there would be peace. If Israel laid down its weapons tomorrow, there would be no Israel. That's the difference.

Trump: Israel and Iran must immediately stop “shooting”

Documentation from the attacks in Isfahan

The IDF briefs military correspondents: - Preparing for at least several days of fighting - The Americans are assisting in intercepting the missiles - So far, Iran has launched 22–24 missiles, and the Houthis have fired two - From the IDF’s perspective, this is not a new operation but a continuation of “Roaring Lion”

The Indian Embassy in Tehran is calling on its citizens to depart Iran immediately.

Tehran now

Unverified reports claim that the Israeli Air Force attacked the Aerospace University "Ashura" of the Revolutionary Guards in Tehran. According to the reports, it is a military-academic institution used for training personnel in the fields of missiles, space, and the defense industries of the IRGC

Iranian Foreign Ministry: "We have information indicating that the US Central Command (CENTCOM) is involved both in defending Israel and in attacks against Iran."

Spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry: The US bears direct responsibility for the recent ceasefire violations. It is impossible to separate Israel's actions from Washington's policy.

Israel’s finance minister Smotrich intends to demand in this morning's security cabinet meeting to turn the equation that Iran tried to create between itself and Lebanon on its head and focus mainly on a strong response in Lebanon. For every Iranian missile, dozens of buildings in Dahieh should be taken down. According to his equation, two or three hundred buildings in Beirut should have fallen last night. This is much easier, more accessible, and more effective than a response in Iran, including taking advantage of the opportunity with long-term gains for the security of northern residents, like the "money plow" under which the IDF destroys the contact villages in southern Lebanon, so that Hezbollah will beg the Iranians to stop. Conversely, this could also bring the Iranians to be flexible in negotiations with the Americans, after a month and a half of their insistence and American backing down. In such a case, Trump would also appreciate it, and Israel would again earn points with him for initiative and boldness that change reality. Trump always likes to take credit for others' successes, and this is not bad for Israel. Smotrich suggests saving the armaments and efforts against Iran for the moment when we decide to go after the energy infrastructures that will paralyze Iran and cripple its economy. In his opinion, it is a shame to waste capabilities on exchanges of blows within standard equations. In cost-benefit tests, strikes in nearby Lebanon are much more efficient than strikes in distant Iran that are not part of a comprehensive move where you go all the way without limitations. An interesting thesis. Even more interesting if Netanyahu adopts it or if he has another ace up his sleeve. (Amit Segal)

Iran’s Ambassador to Moscow, Kazem Jalali: “The Strait of Hormuz will remain open, but under new conditions to be determined by Iran and Oman, including the imposition of transit fees for ships passing through.” And this is the whole story. The Iranians wanted a better deal so they initiated this whole situation to push Trump to agree to their terms.

The IDF is preparing for a massive strike on Houthi targets in Yemen in the coming hours. It’s time to speak the language they know and understand!

The Houthis declared a complete blockade in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb Strait for all vessels related to Israel. Emphasize that "we will respond to any escalation with escalation"

Launches from Iran and Yemen now toward Israel

In Israel, the assessment is that there is a high probability of an Iranian response, and the country is fully prepared for any escalation. Throughout the night, the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister held consultations with the IDF leadership and the heads of the security agencies. Following those meetings, they decided to carry out retaliatory strikes in Iran. At the political level, the message is unequivocal: any attack from Iran will be met with a powerful response. Likewise, any fire from Lebanon toward Israel will trigger strikes on Hezbollah targets in the Dahieh district of Beirut.

Last night Iran launched 11 missiles towards northern Israel. In response early this morning israel struck targets across Iran Let's summarize what was attacked in Iran: Ground-to-ground missile launch sites, Factories and plants for manufacturing weapons and ammunition, Air defense and radar systems The Houthis in Yemen launched one missile towards central Israel. The Houthis attacked Prince Sultan base in Saudi Arabia.

Israel’s strikes on Iran early this morning targeted radar sites.

The attack on Prince Sultan Airbase in Saudi Arabia was also carried out by Yemen

Marco Rubio backing Israel: "Only stupid countries don't shoot back when they are fired upon"

The White House: The United States was not involved in the Israeli attack on Iran.
