The War Israel Started and Is Already Regretting
This was a very busy weekend for me, trying to stay abreast of a rapidly escalating war that Israel started by bombing Iran, targeting both nuclear facilities and Iranian leadership and scientists, many of whom were killed along with nearby children and families.
Iran has shown a remarkable ability to target with very high precision, and is very rapidly degrading Israel’s defensive capabilities:
Iran is improving and beginning to use more accurate missiles.The Iranians destroyed an Arrow or David Sling launcher that had expended all its ammunition but was unable to intercept the Iranian missile.This indicates that Iran is now collecting intelligence on the… pic.twitter.com/CBuB4tobSk

As a reminder, nobody has yet shown a single shred of evidence that Iran was “close to getting a bomb:”
Your daily reminder that no one has produced any evidence that Iran was actually making a bomb.The US intel community concluded at the beginning of 2025 that they had not restarted their weapons program.This entire war is predicated on an Israeli trust me bro.Just like Iraq

As can be clearly seen from last night’s (Sunday, 6-16-25) salvo, Israel is basically a sitting duck, and Iran has lots of missiles:

Iran is using a mix of slower/older missiles and even dodgy old Shahed prop-driven drones timed perfectly to arrive just before the fancier supersonic and possibly hypersonic missiles :

This is the “Dumb first, Smart Second” strategy:
🚨⚡️ IRAN'S STRATEGY in STRIKING ISRAEL:Iran fires about 200 missiles in each attack, which if all hit, would reduce Tel Aviv and its towers to rubble.But the reality is Iran uses 180-190 regular missiles—easily intercepted by any air defense system—to overwhelm and deplete… pic.twitter.com/SY1gCYnIP0

And it bears noting here that the US embassy in Tel Aviv took a bit of collateral damage last night:

Also, the information coming out of Israel is heavily censored. We’ve seen zero pics of any damage to military bases, major infrastructure, or the main airport even though Iran stated those have been the main targets.
Instead, we see damage to apartments and houses only:

As with Ukraine, we have to suspect that any or all of the damage we see is either from air defense missiles that either misfired or missed their targets, or inbound
