Well the long awaited and much anticipated Israeli response to Iran’s response for the attack on their embassy in Syria…..has started…..

As of mid-night….and the unfolding events will make it necessary for regular updates…..

ABC News has reported that a US official said Israel launched an attack on Iran early Friday morning. Other reports say explosions have hit Syria and Iraq, with aircraft activity reported in the area.

Iran’s Mehr news agency reported explosions in the Iranian province of Isfahan. Sources told Mehr that the explosions were the result of air defenses destroying three drones.

According to CNN, the US knew Israel was planning to hit Iran with the understanding that nuclear sites wouldn’t be targeted. Iranian media is reporting that nuclear sites in Isfahan are safe.

On Thursday, Iranian officials warned that if Israel targeted nuclear sites, Iran would launch “tit-for-tat” strikes on Israeli nuclear facilities. Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi has also warned of a major response to any type of Israeli attack.

Israel’s attack was a response to Iran launching missiles and drones at Israeli territory, which came in retaliation for Israel bombing Tehran’s consulate in Damascus. The Israeli attack on an Iranian diplomatic facility marked a huge escalation in Israel’s targeting of Iranians in Syria and killed seven members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including a high-level Quds Force commander.

President Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the US would not support an Israeli offensive attack on Iran. However, the US has said it will continue to defend Israel, signaling it will intervene if Iran responds.

Here we go…Israel is getting what it has wanted for a long time….direct US support for their damn adventurism.

Good luck keeping the US out of this…..just a bit of advice for Biden.
