The Israel Defense Forces [IDF] confirmed that it has bombed Iran’s nuclear assets in a preemptive strike against the Islamic regime that has vowed to wipe Israel off the map.
The Israeli Air Force launched its attack late Thursday on Iran’s nuclear program, according to The Times of Israel. “Home Front Command spokesman says Israel could experience ‘heavy missile attack’ in coming hours, but no fire from Iran as yet and no need to go to bomb shelter,” the outlet noted, adding that Israel has closed its airspace.
Israel has declared a state of emergency, according to the Jerusalem Post.
It appears that an all-out war could be beginning between Iran and Israel rather than the unending wars by proxy in which Iran has been engaging.
The Post reported, “Iran developed a plan with Hezbollah and Hamas and other proxies to destroy the State of Israel, potentially including attempts to attack via all borders, including Egypt and Jordan. This was the point of no return, according to the IDF.”

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issues the following statement:
Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region. Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defense. President Trump and the Administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners. Let me be clear: Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel.

There’s quite a mess out there right now. I’m sure we’ve got a lot of people on high alert around the globe and in this Country as well. I don’t doubt that there have been a lot of trip wires planted around the globe that could be hit anytime. Keep your head on a swivel. No matter where you are. We’ve got two marches planned for this area on Saturday. Our town has about 25k people and the town up the road is only about 10k, so there are going to be hood-rats everywhere.

I guess this was pretty much inevitable. Short of the Iranian regime being wiped out by the Iranian people, I don’t know what else could have changed this.
