In violation of international law and international nuclear treaties, Israel just reportedly just bombed an Iranian civilian heavy water nuclear reactor.

Of course, it is being falsely reported as a weapons site.

Update: Looks like the risk of contamination is very low

Edit: sorry for the edits. I'm very tired and running pretty close to max anxiety for days.

This is not going well and is making me sad. This will set Iran back years. I don't know if Iran is choosing to go soft on Israel or if they are giving them all they got and it isn't much.

Also, just to add to what I already mentioned, Iran knows where a lot (maybe all) the strategic and military targets are, and that's what they're hitting. The hospital that's reported to have been hit today that they're crying about is bullshit, there were two military targets next to it

The IDF C4I building is the HQ for Shitrael's cyberwarefare and the other is a biological military research facility. The Director of the hospital is an IDF Colonel btw. Iran has already destroyed the Mosad HQ which the entity had to admit to. It's hard to know because they're making sure you only see what they want you to

Isreal is getting pounded into dust. The entity is blacking out media and pretending to be almost unharmed. The entity always lies. We're in a stage of information warfare and people are being arrested for "unlawful recording" in TA. They're almost out of AD systems. Arrows are almost depeted, and AD is a few days from collapse at this rate. The new hypersonics Iran is using are nearly impossible to intercept in the last stage. Israel has lost the Haifa refinery/depot/power plant, which provided 60% of fuel to the occupied territories and will take months to repair. That facility also provided fuel for their F35s, which the US is now supposedly having to refuel.

Iran is much bigger and can easily outlast this in the long term so long as the US stays out.

Iran should have taken out Israeli air bases and the US is involved, as well as the UK and Germany providing support. But if Israel has no fighter jets or bombers then that support is pointless.

I hope you are right and I'm just being pessimistic. Israel did manage to take out Hezbollah and Assad government in Syria, but so far neither it nor the US were capable of taking out Ansarallah. I know the longer it goes on, the less likely Israel is to win, and if it goes on for 20 years we know the US will leave a loser just like in Vietnam and Afghanistan. My main worry is in the short term.

The regional and international alliance against US involvement is hitting critical mass. I honestly think Trump is pissing himself here. Russia has strongly reiterated that it would an incredibly bad mistake to get involved. Pakistan has nukes and is given strong indication of some level of involvement. Putin and Ayatollah al-Sistani just said don't even think about touching Khamenei. Iraqi resistance will push out US forces. Even the Saudis and Jordanianas are violently against us involvement. China has made some of the strongest denoucements I've seen since Mao. Situation is a guaranteed world war.

I cant predict anything, but Amerikkka is out of talk at this point and Trump doesn't want to risk triggering what could be the biggest disaster in living memory. If I were him, I'd be on the golf course. Who actually wants this bullshit at 79.

[-] i_c_b_m@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 1 day ago

Iranian state TV, meanwhile, reported the attack on the Arak site, saying there was “no radiation danger whatsoever.” An Iranian state television reporter, speaking live in the nearby town of Khondab, said the facility had been evacuated and there was no damage to civilian areas around the reactor.

RIP Israel's nuclear power plant within 24 hrs

[-] i_c_b_m@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 1 day ago

Iran is not reckless, criminal or psychotic, so you don't have to worry about that happening

[-] coolusername@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago

Lately they've been doing tit for that besides the openly genocidal stuff like bombing aid organizations

[-] i_c_b_m@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 day ago

Wait, are you claiming that Iran is doing openly genocidal acts?

[-] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 1 day ago

i read the comment as Iran is doing tit-for-tat (you hit my X, i hit your X) except for the genocidal stuff that "israel" has been doing, such as bombing Red Crescent

[-] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 11 points 23 hours ago

Yeah but that can also be used to argue that they won't bomb Israel's nuclear plants.

Israel really strikes me as following the same kind of strategies as Ukraine here. And the same applies to Iran in respect to Russia's strategies.

Which isn't really surprising if you think about it.
