Seeing the videos of the missiles that made it through, waiting for reports of damage. Some made it through earlier but only hit open desert areas.
I heard on Agenda Free TV that a 10 year old boy (corrected, it was a girl) in southern Israel was seriously wounded in one of the attacks.

As I noted earlier, by extension that would apply to Israel. Putin may have screwed up.
Before we fall down too many rabbit holes.

Support may take many forms. Iran may be a major new supplier of drones to Russia so there is support and there is attacking US forces support.

I find it telling that the primary attack is not coming through 3rd parties, likely not many wanted to step in front of this one.

The reports that it is done, may be an attempt to de-escalate as quickly as possible hoping the US stays out.

Not sure Iran can stop if even just Israel retaliates, and that is most certainly gaurenteed. It all started really slowly, then all at once.

Heading out to fill up before gas shoots up again.

It is my understanding that supposedly they will not fire any more missiles, drones, etc, but some of what has already been fired are still on their way to Israel.

But, I could be wrong, I am a lot.

Alert: The Straights of Hormuz will likely be shut down by Iran.

The costs of Fuel will skyrocket and there will be shortages not only in the middle east but across the West.

If Iran were to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, it would likely have significant global repercussions, particularly for the oil market.

This narrow passage is one of the world's most crucial maritime chokepoints, through which about a fifth of global petroleum consumption passes.

Closure of the strait could disrupt oil shipments from major producers like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Iraq, leading to a sharp increase in oil prices worldwide. Such an event would also trigger economic uncertainty and could provoke a strong military and diplomatic response from countries dependent on these oil routes, including the United States and other Western nations.

Moreover, the closure could heighten geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, potentially leading to conflicts and further instability in the region.

#BREAKING: The Ballistic missiles which the #IRGC Aerospace Force launched at #Israel from west of #Iran were not launched from the usual launch sites. This occured from the missile base which is just a few hundreds of metres away from city of #Kermanshah! One of the missiles exploded over the city and its debris fell over people's homes!

"Countdown To Looking Glass" (1:27:41)

Docudrama uses fictional reports of a crisis in the Middle East, which leads to a nuclear confrontation between the US and the USSR. The story is told through a live news report that follows the apocalyptic world-ending nuclear exchange. An excellent, dramatic doomsday scenario in which the Cold War fully escalates. "Looking Glass" is the code word for the Strategic Air Command's control plane which is to be used in the case of nuclear war. A Canadian made-for-television movie, and the narrative of the film details the events that lead up to the initial exchange of nuclear weapons, which was triggered by a banking crisis, from the perspective of an ongoing news broadcast. The nuclear powered aircraft carrier U.S.S. Nimitz portrayed in this movie is actually the museum ship U.S.S. Yorktown (ex CV 10) moored in Charleston Harbor, Charleston, South Carolina. Starring Scott Glenn, Michael Murphy, Helen Shaver as Dorian Waldorf, Eric Sevareid (as himself) and a young Newt Gingrich (as himself).

First aired on October 14, 1984 and more relevant than ever

I would love to see the terrorist try to nuke Jerusalem.
I can just imagine what would happen. A nuclear fireball, burning for several minute. But not a single person gets hurt in it. (Imagine Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego walking around in the fire, multiplied a few million times....)
The kids are able to cook hotdogs(Kosher hotdogs), and toast marshmallows(are marshmallows kosher?) in their bare hands, and all the trash burns away, but the people and building remain unhurt. After the fireball is over, the building and cars sparkle from being so clean. All the trash and grime are gone.
After that, there probably would not be a atheist left in the city, or the surrounding areas.

All Glory to GOD(YHVH).

Iran's IRNA: The Israeli airbase targeted in the Negev was the starting point for the attack on the consulate in Damascus.
