@nsaspook, ever read Tom Clancy's Sum of All Fears?

I'm getting the feeling that the plot is starting to play out.
The actual damage from that was slight, so I don't expect much of a massive public response by the IDF. If that's all Iran can muster, they are being exposed as a paper tiger in a world filled with deadly panthers.
I would expect that Iran will lose something politically and militarily valuable in response.

I'm not talking about Israel per se, but the confluence of current events combined with the competence -- or lack thereof of -- ahem -- those in charge.

By my estimate, we're somewhere near page 100 of an 800 page "fictional" novel.

Edit: it really is too bad we can't talk about such things here.

Zionist Israel relies on the US taxpayer and handouts. Each year we give them over 3,000,000,000 USD in the ongoing quest to suppress Arab self determination in the region which the former colonial powers have been doing since WW1.

The regime is regularly compared to Apartheid South Africa, here's something you won't see on TV news or history but I suggest everyone with an open mind listen to some hard facts for once, something like the brutality and racism emanating from today's Israeli regime, is far too important for it to be deceptively and uncritically, misrepresented as the victim.

I was waiting for the usual Antisemitic trope to arrive.

Norman Finkelstein is not antisemitic, Noam Chomsky is not antisemitic, Rabbi Dovid Weiss is not antisemitic, the late physicist Hajo Meyer was not antisemitic, the late Lord Gerald Kaufman was not antisemitic, you rather obviously do not even know what the term means, since my views on this are more or less the same as theirs and they are all Jews, the utter stupidity of such a remark combined with a complete absence of a counter argument is not something you can be proud of. The sources I cited are not antisemitic.

Disagreeing with me (and by extension, all of them) does not give you a right to make cruel and vile personal insults, for this reason I am ignoring you going forward.

Looks like they tried to take out the few F-14's Iran still had operational.

In particular, IRNA said air defences fired at a major airbase in Isfahan, which long has been home to Iran's fleet of American-made F-14 Tomcats -- purchased before the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

The semiofficial Fars and Tasnim news agencies also reported the sound of blasts, without giving a cause. State television acknowledged "loud noise" in the area.

Isfahan also is home to sites associated with Iran's nuclear program, including its underground Natanz enrichment site, which has been repeatedly targeted by suspected Israeli attacks. However, state television described all sites in the area as "fully safe."

What? They arrested the actual criminal instead of the homeowner.

NYC squatter arrested after standoff with homeowner in 7 On Your Side Investigation
Adele Andaloro says Rodriguez and others moved into the Flushing, Queens, home in the middle of the night on Feb. 6 and refused to leave. She was in the process of selling the property she had inherited from her mother.
She noticed the problem when she showed up to the house to see the front door and locks had been changed.

In New York, squatters have rights after 30 days. It's against the law for homeowners to change the locks, remove their belongings or shut off the utilities. It's handled as a civil court matter in the state, so police can't remove squatters.
After a standoff between Rodriguez and Andaloro, police arrived and arrested the homeowner for changing the locks, even though Rodriguez provided no lease or proof that he's legally allowed to be there.

Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced that Brian Rodriguez has been indicted on charges of burglary, grand larceny and other crimes for illegally occupying a single-family home in Flushing and renting out rooms to others.
