          The IDF is saying no Israelis were wounded. I’m seeing reports of explosions in populated areas, but the people there would have had time to get to shelters. I’m hoping that this has been like the April attack, but I think we can’t know with confidence until enough time has passed to see the full picture.

    The official warned that any direct attack on Israel by Iran “will carry severe consequences for Iran.”

    Iran readying ‘imminent’ ballistic missile attack against Israel, U.S. official tells NBC News

      I think Iran was waiting for the US to cool off and leave so they could do a tit for tat.

      If they go through now, it’ll be the same thing but just way more expensive since they’d have to break through both the iron dome and the US running intercept protection.
