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:
“Wars do two things; they grow, and then they grow out of control” ~ Michael Yon
As a reminder, nobody has yet shown a single shred of evidence that Iran was “close to getting a bomb:”
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:
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 missiles that were knocked off course.
