Update(1554ET): Axios correspondent Barak Ravid has cited several US and Israeli officials who say Iran’s attack against Israel has started. It is currently almost 11pm in Israel. It could take hours for the drones to reach Israel, however, the big question remains whether Tehran sends ballistic missiles. Both the IDF and the Biden administration have confirmed that drones are en route to Israeli airspace.
“Iran launches attack against Israel using dozens of drones, four U.S. and Israeli officials told me,” Ravid writes. Airspace across Iran, Jordan, and Israel has reportedly been shut in the last hours.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued the following nighttime speech just ahead of the reported attack:
“Citizens of Israel, in recent years, and even more so in recent weeks, Israel has been preparing for the possibility of a direct attack from Iran,” the premier says in a video statement. “Our defense systems are deployed, and we are prepared for any scenario, both in defense and offense. The State of Israel is strong, the IDF is strong, the public is strong.”
“We appreciate the US for standing by Israel’s side as well as the support of the UK, France and many other countries.” “I established a clear principle — whoever hurts us, we will hurt them. We will defend ourselves from any threat and we will do so calmly and with determination.”
“I know that you, the citizens of Israel, are also keeping calm. I urge you to listen to the directives of the Home Front Command.”
“Together we stand, and with God’s help, together we will overcome all of our enemies,” Netanyahu says.
Schools in Israel and public gatherings have been closed for the coming days.
Iran has launched dozens of drones towards Israel. It will take around 9 hours before they reach Israel and can be intercepted by various air defense systems and fighter jets (American/Israeli). Israeli F-35s have already downed drones, but this is likely only the beginning

Crypto is crashing on the news…
President Joe Biden has reportedly cut short a beach vacation to head back to the White House where he’s meeting with his national security team, monitoring the attacks, as well as Israel’s defense. It’s as yet unclear if Iran has launched ballistic missiles, following the initial drone salvo. Fox News is reporting that the head of US Central Command, Michael Kurilla, has safely departed Israel.
Israel’s Home Front command has issued the following emergency notification restricting gatherings across the country in anticipation of inbound Iranian projectiles. There are also “work from home” orders being issued, especially for non-essential government personnel.

The past days have seen American diplomats in a global push to get countries to hold back Iran from launching a retaliatory attack on Israel for its April 1st embassy attack in Damascus.
Washington is especially leaning on China, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia in hopes that a united diplomatic front could deescalate the situation, at a moment Israel is bracing for an assault.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken met with several officials over the past week, including Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. “We have also engaged with European allies and partners over the past few days and urged them as well to send a clear message to Iran: that escalation is not in Iran’s interest, it’s not in the region’s interest and it’s not in the world’s interest,” a statement from the State Department indicated.
Blinken “has been making clear to every country that has any semblance of a relationship with Iran that it is in their interest to use that relationship to send a message to Iran that they should not escalate this conflict. But I will let those countries speak for themselves about what action they may or may not take,” the statement from spokesman Matthew Miller said.
Miller added that US has also “engaged with European allies and partners over the past few days” to deliver a message urging restraint to Iran. British Foreign Secretary David Cameron and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock have also been engaging the Iranian foreign minister in recent days.
Blinken’s message to Turkey and Saudi Arabia was that they should “urge Iran not to escalate.” Going into this weekend, it’s being widely reported that a major Iranian attack, possibly including ballistic missiles and drones, remains ‘imminent’. US officials have told media sources that Iran has been observed moving major military assets including missile systems.
Though Iranian operatives on Saturday morning have seized an Israeli-linked tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, it seems the ‘big attack’ is still on hold for now.
The Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, suggests there may be a diplomatic way out that avoids full Iranian military retaliation. Iran is “proposing the following: If a ceasefire is reached in Gaza and Israel does not attack the city of Rafah, it is ready, in order to reduce escalation and tension, not to take any action against Israel at the present time,” the newspaper stated.
But it’s anything but clear that a leader like Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would be willing to alter his plans to eradicate Hamas based on dictates from Tehran. Currently, the atmosphere seems one of the calm before the storm.

Start of WWIII ?
Yes= upvote
No= downvote
Hard NO! I’m not done with all of you yet.
You fuckers are going to suffer way more, for longer, before the REAL fireworks start !
I voted “No”, but if/when WWIII starts (and I think it’s likely to be soon), it will result from a bunch of these escalations. I’m just not sure it will be directly from this action. How’s that for hedging your bet?
Yes,I mean no…..,maybe?
You have caused me to consider the lights are going out in the Church, and we know the one world government has to come first, so maybe ww3 is their best plan to accomplish the NWO. Perhaps all are involved. Except Africa, of course. They are still trying to comprehend the wheel. Blessed are the Christians in Africa.
So far, the attack has been a nothingburger. A bunch of drones traveling a whopping 140 mph that have no chance in hell of getting through, with no ballistic missiles following…
The only damage done to Israel is that they had to use up a lot of very expensive anti air missiles to intercept a bunch of cheap drones. But that is no big deal, because the US Taxpayer will have 200 more on a plane tomorrow to replace them.
If you want to know just how evil the people your tax dollars are going to support are read this…
https://archive.org/details/pdfy-hwyaI2nUm2gMp-3Y/page/n29/mode/2up?view=theater
hopefully some of the ballistic missiles get through. and hopefully the iranians are throwing away the cheap stuff as hors d’oeuvres for some good missiles to follow. and better yet, more hopefully, the russians gave the iranians the real deal.
NO ballistic missiles launched by Iran. Just drones and cruise missiles. Way too slow to ever get through.
2 sources report that ballistic missiles were used at ramon. i am going with that. hal turner and another source cited much lower in the comments. both reported at about the same time.
The next 30 minutes should tell the story but this feels more like a face saving attack by Iran…….not really designed to destroy and cause serious loss of life…….Which is a good thing. If you are correct those missiles could cause extreme damage and maybe even spark a nuclear response but more likely taking out the oil infrastructure……..I think this is another ratchet up but not the all out conflict……..Could change if Admin’s thought proves out. I like Iranians more than Israelis……too bad they have psychotic Mullahs in charge…..a pox on all of them.
Funny how nobody who supposedly has them is using nukes. Like always.
One country of freemasons attacking another playing both sides against the middle; didn’t we go over this last century?
I don’t think Iran was looking for war with the US. Israel certainly wants war between the US and Iran.
… for at least 50 years …
Take the bait? I don’t think he understands who is the head and who is the tail of the international Jew bankers.
B I N G O … and that goes for ALL wars … Congress has not declared any war since WW2 … all wars in which the US has been involved since WW2 has been illegal under our own Constitution and laws. Those violating these provisions should be immediately impeached.
Tried convicted Hung or shot or run thru tree shredder for public viewing
Hanged, correction.
Illegal they are – so what. What you gonna do – take ’em to court?
“Informed consent.” Where have I heard that before?
Like TREASONOUS JOE gives one damn about the citizens or their opinions.
He has no say. He makes no decisions. Just a figurehead like all before him. The spooks and think tank honchos call the shots.
CBS just now breaking into the Masters golf coverage with this news.
“breaking into the Masters golf coverage”
Damn,shits getting real now!
Likely the Ansar Allah/Houthi rebels in Yemen, that is
Hopefully all of the Arab Nations will stand together … or they shall all die separately at the hands of israel and/or the United States of israel …
If they oppose Israel, they are on the side of God, though they themselves are apostate.
You just contradicted yourself and people upvoted you?
The stupid….. it burns.
I am not sure your theology, if you perceive a contradiction. Jesus reigns over heaven and earth now. All rulers are there because He allowed. When Saul of Tarsus was confronted on the road by the Son of God, He said “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?” Saul was persecuting Christians, Jesus Christ had already ascended to heaven.
I noticed more than an hour ago that the censors had already deleted this …
Ah, the old U.S and Israeli officials say. Which officials? Who are they and what proof are they offering that these drones came from Iran?
I’m sure they’re just expecting for us to take their word for it.
Well … in point of fact … US officials are — de facto — israeli officials … all that they do has israel’s interests at heart above those of the US and its Citizens.
Yeah, it isn’t like they would lie us into war again.
How much will gasoline be next week?
$6.00 a gallon, if you can get it. Corporate greed again you know, nothing is Joe’s fault.
The Pentagram and friends (WEPH/NWO/Beast System) will get their war one way or the other.
Laissez les bon temps rouler….
It’s the only thing that’s good for the jews … and good for israel … and those are the 2 prime directives governing the US since — the Balfour Declaration.
Turkey already said (before these drones) that they wouldn’t.
Here comes the media frenzy, and it’s adios reality for the people who believe everything the see on tv and read on Twitter.
Sit back and enjoy the clown show.
sacrifice them to the satanic jewish molech – after all most americans – especially christian zionists – are all israel firsters.
Actually. Israel belongs to Yahweh. That is scriptural. If you have a beef, take it up with Him. And good luck to you.
actually your vile israel and jews belong to satan. can’t wait until you can visit your beelzebub god.
Ah Yahweh, the murderous, genocidal and psychotic tribal god of Israel!
That’s the God that the jews created in their own hateful, vengeful image … not to be in any way confused with the God of Love and Mercy and Grace of the New Testament …
Ahhhh … and just who wrote that ‘scripture’?
The Jewish religion worships Satan as much as they do Yahweh.

Straight from the Talmud….
Baba Necia 114, 6: “The Jews are human beings, but the nations of the world are not human beings but beasts.”
Nidrasch Talpioth, p. 225-L: “Jehovah created the non-Jew in human form so that the Jew would not have to be served by beasts. The non-Jew is consequently an animal in human form, and condemned to serve the Jew day and night.”
and this what “christians” support. with their dollars and their lives. how disgusting.
No they haven’t…..
Great. Here come 6 million jew refugees into the USA. You think things are bad here now, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
sink their boats and destroy their planes before they get here. we have enough of a problem with what we have.
Kinda like the LIBERTY massacre.
If we ever had a President who was a real patriot, he would nuke Israel as his first duty.
and deport the aliens in this country – to nuked israel.

This should be required reading by every American Citizen. If you are going to have your tax dollars going to support something you should have a clue what it is you are supporting….
It’s well beyond time for the US to end dual-citizenship … which was forced into our laws at the time israel was formed …
Retarded zio-jews aren’t near as dangerous as diaspora jews.
OK, but that’s like saying that this turd is a nicer shade of brown than that turd.
Ebil Persians hating Jews and vice-versa since Cyrus, 539 B.C.
Or that israel has been bombing Lebanon (and Syria) with impunity for many years trying to get at their natural resources.
Iran is starting this out of nowhere…..
Since when is it ok to attack Israel when they haven’t done an airstrike on your embassy for at least Thirteen Days.
How is this ok? Retaliation makes you worse than the perpetrator. Everyone knows this.
If some nasty dude committed rape on you…. Would you rape him twice back?
Didn’t think so.
Aloe Hack Bar.
You forgot the /s. And yes, I would rape the shit out of him. jk
It’s about time.
This is a fake attack. If it were real, they would have started with hypersonic missiles, not 140 mph drones. It is like attacking with a squadron of Cessna’s. It is a fricking turkey shoot.
I agree.
I just watched “Midway” a couple of weeks ago and recall the US had numerous attacks on the Japanese fleet that did not do anything more than to wear out the Japanese air cover. Let the million $ missiles take out the $1,000 drones before you send in the expensive stuff.
They are not sending anything else, they have already said it is over…
Come on dog think about it… The Iranians launch 160 drone at 2o thousand a piece. Everyone needs to be shot down with Iron dome abms that cost 2 million a pop. Its a math problem and Israel is gonna lose even with the West backing them… and reports coming indicate that with even all the fancy toys some of the drones made it thru the gauntlet..
over time it will be the whack-a-mole nightmare for israel. i am not sure how many missiles israel and its allies have. i am willing to bet that iran has far more drones than israel has missiles. and then on top of that iran has missiles – many many.
i am curious to see how iran’s air force fares. i don’t know enough about their pilots to know if they can handle israel. my hunch is that iran is outclassed but my hope is that it can hold its own.
That is not how it is done. Most will veer off course and crash because of electronic jamming which is so intense that no airlines can operate in the entire region. The drones are so slow, that they are sitting ducks for fighters and even helicopter’s which will be waiting by the hundreds, it is doubtful even a handful get through to where iron dome would be used. Like I said, it is basically no different than trying to attack with squadron’s of Cessna’s. It is more of a drill than an attack.
Are the explosions at any oil refinery or off shore pumping station?
….”It’s all fake and gay”….HSF
So are you fake and gay
To hell with Israel…
They have been under God’s judgement for 2000 years. All who deny Jesus Christ are destined for Hell. All.
iran is not going to attack and if it does, it will be a laughable token response. that is too bad. i would love to see israel wiped off the face of the earth.
Israel is pure evil. If you do not already know that read this

Well, looks like Gods Chosen People waiting this one out in New Khazaria is off the table now.
So … just how many lives and how much money is this going to holoco$t US?
This is a test of The Emergency Broadcast system, this is ONLY A TEST!
The Antichrist has not even appeared yet ! No Rapture yet!
Everybody needs to calm down, this is just Iran showing their buddies that they are not pussies.
No WWIII until I figure out my over/under for total deaths bet with my bookie.
What’s OJ like ? Does he get along with everybody?
Say hi to Ruth Grader Binsburg
I Stand with Iran
Actions, not words, fly an Iranian flag over your house.
Keyboard warriors are sooo brave!
So why haven’t any of the missiles hit yet? Geez how long does it take to pull off a false flag these days?
The shortest distance (air line) between Iran and Israel is 1,071.54 mi (1,724.48 km).
Their drones fly approx. 140 mph….. so about 7.5 hours unless they were launched from further in the interior.
i pray that they all hit their targets.
Their “targets” are Israeli “Iron Dome” missiles. Iran doesn’t expect them to make it to the ground.
Few will make it that far, most will be taken out before they ever reach Israeli airspace, by air to air missiles fired by f16’s and f35’s. The drones are flying so slow the fighters have plenty of time to attack them, refuel and rearm and fly multiple sorties.
What targets would Jesus bomb?
tel aviv and jerusalem to start.
Are you serious? Jesus would bomb Rome!
Pontius Pilate, the ROMAN Governor of Judaea, who washed his hands of it and LET him be crucified (after I persuaded him a little, heh,heh).
lmao – you need a new wwjb bracelet.
is you from da synagog of Satan?. Cos joos told PP to crucify Him.
nice try
diseased Rabbi
you sucks da baby dicks
to get your kicks
on Route 666
Quite the SNEAK ATTACK !
According to the first comment, this is apparently to locate and draw out the israeli defenses … apparently, according to that comment, it’s a tactic that Russia has used in the Ukraine.
from hal turner’s website – “The Kamikaze Drone Swarms and initial cruise missiles launched from Iran are scheduled to begin hitting Israel within 57 minutes from now 6:08 PM EDT. First wave of drones launched at Israel reportedly contained 238 launches.”
although scary, he is an actor. the real joe blow biden has been dead for quite some time.
Not sketchy at all.
This is like saying to someone, I am so mad at you, I am going to punch you right in the nose next week. We’ll meet up a couple of hours before I punch you and I will show you which fist I am going to use and show you where I plan on punching you and then do it really slowly over an hour or two.
You are so going to get punched in the nose pretty soon it isn’t even funny.
It is all so fake and gay I can’t even.
edit to add: I didn’t mean anything by that nose comment.
Not a very intelligent comment. Iran had 4 of its top Generals taken out in that Consulate strike. Now if in WW2, we had had Eisenhower, Bradly, Patton, and Montgomery all taken out in a single strike, would the proper response been to launch D day within 24hrs?
Hardbabble, stupid comment, Jdog, stupid analogy.
Explain
Anonyhole: stupid motherfucker anyway.
I’m not sure what qualifies as intelligent these days, but it was accurate.
This is theater.
Israel allegedly took out four top Iranian generals and the response was to give Israel a heads up on when they would be launching a counterstrike, what they’d be counterstriking with, how many they’d fire and where they’d be striking, and when the smoke clears the only thing that happened was a 10 year old Bedouin kid was blown up.
How will Israel ever recover?
Pretty much exactly what you’d expect was going to happen, which is, in the local parlance, bupkis.
One thing I’m fairly certain of is that the majority of people posting about how this is WW3 don’t really know all that much about warfare. Real opponents don’t broadcast the line of battle to the enemy in advance, they keep it a secret and they create diversions and false fronts. I don’t know what the whole point of this silly exercise in futility was all about, but it wasn’t about starting a war.
The fact that all of the governments of the world appear to be in lockstep with these false narratives about wars and rumors of wars, the Covid hoax, etc. indicates they are coordinated and synchronized.
Something bigger is going on, you can feel it, but this ain’t it.
If Iran had its way, it would not do anything. Israel is already losing. Time is on the side of Israel’s opposer’s.
It is public opinion that is forcing Iran to do something, and so they have coordinated an attack with the US within boundaries to avoid escalation.
This does not mean there are not factions in both Israel and the US who are still pushing for a wider war, but there are also people trying to stop the escalation.
The economy in Israel is in the toilet. US sentiment turns more anti Israel every day.
Along with all the drones and cruise missiles Iran sent for fodder to be destroyed, were a few serious ballistic missiles that struck the air base where the F35’s that attacked the Consulate were based. All those ballistic missiles hit their targets, showing Israel that Iran does indeed have the capacity to hit anything in Israel and Israel does not have the capability to defend against them.
That is going to shake up some people in Israel who believed the narrative that they were invincible. Especially when Iran has another 1000 of those, and more advanced missiles on the shelf.
Some of the leadership of Israel are batshit crazy religious fanatics, and believe they will survive the Apocalypse, and live in paradise with 2800 slaves, but some do not. We are now going to find out which side wields the decision making power.
It is sad that the fate of the world rests in the hands of insane religious fanatics and idiots we ourselves have put in decision making positions.
It’s diplomacy and is as old as history. Jews suck at it, which is why they make better parasites than rulers.
More like vampires than parasites….
Is a vampire not a parasite?
Ha! That nose thing was soooo anti-semenetical.
The real Biden is an actor just like any other President.
Zhou Bai Din is no actor; a true Manchurian-Communist-Democrat.
Give the guy a break!
They just woke him up from his pre-dinner nap and his injection of Adderall & B12 hasn’t kicked in yet.
Looks like he missed his afternoon shit, so more trouble on the way.
An acquaintance of mine at the Y is from Iran. He was planning on going there soon after a many year absence to visit family. I asked him recently if he was still planning on going (thinking of the brewing tensions). He had no idea what I was talking about. He doesn’t watch the news because it stresses him out.
LOL
Actually, the banksters are likely funding both sides here, too …
‘It’s not personal … it’s just business.’
Iron boats on the prowl. Should get spicy.
No one expected WWIII.
Kids will die.
Shekels will be counted.
Not WW3, but kids will die, and sick, evil people will rejoice…
there you go talking about jews again 😮
So which one is Gog and which one is Magog again?
Neither. The state of Israel has no relation to the Christian Bible. The Mosaic Covenant is finished. This is the New Covenant where all are either for Jesus Christ or for Satan.
Giant glass parking lot.
Israel live feed cameras in four different cities….
The ka-boom!
Where’s the big Ka-boom!?
Good for Iran. Finally someone doing something about the Israeli devils.
These Jews and their lies…
I wonder if Russia, in exchange for their Iranian drones, agreed to trade some of their hyper-sonic missiles?
Apparently Jordan launched fighters to shoot down some of the drones…. I am sure that is going to make the people in Jordan real happy.
They threatened to do that if any came through their air space. Either their bluffing, or they hope for more Uncle Scam shekels to stay neutral. That’s what Trump’s Abraham Accords were about – bribes.
About a quarter of Jordan’s population are Palestinian, Syrian, and Iraqi. They are going to be furious that Jordan sided with Israel, the rest of the population will not be happy about it either.
That’s true. I remember the Jordanian mercs were relatively professional compared the the other retards. I respected their discipline, not their planning. That’s just train of thought about Mosul.
Bidens doing what????LOL…..SURE he is…
Are the moosys waiting for some calfs blood to kick things off?….I mean ….why the kid gloves?…….
Trading licks just the price of doing business?..
Dear White House Occupant:
Just a short list of things to do starting immediately — you and Dr Jill and First Son Hunter should be able to handle it:
– close the US embassy in israel
– demand that the israelis close their embassy in the United States and withdraw all of their citizens (dual citizenship or not) — civilian, government and military — back to their homeland in israel
– withdraw all US military personnel and materiel from within 2,500 miles of israel … do not permit any US personnel or materiel to be engaged in any fight in which israel is a party
– do not send any personnel or materiel or financial aid to israel ever again
from hal turner ” — Iran declares that their hackers disabled the Israeli Iron Dome Defenses!! Attack maybe more lethal than expected!! ”
praying to god that it is true.
Coming from Hal Turner, it probably isn’t.
I do not know about that, but I do know Israel has their electronic jamming turned up so high, no commercial aircraft can fly in any of the surrounding countries….
Iron Dome Defenses? My chosen people don’t need no stinkin’ Iron Dome Defenses.
Was really hoping this nonsense would end with the violent folks on both sides taking each other out and the rest of the people could figure out a way to enjoy living.
I about 3 months ago put down the beer(and rum ect.),was not fun but am feeling a hell of a lot better and getting a lot more done!
That said,this nonsense goes into overdrive am going out and getting a case of beer to go along with me popcorn…,hopefully not necessary!
James, I did a similar change in September, however I still allow myself a glass of wine every so often. I just opened my 2nd 750ml bottle of wine since then.
Eh…..,the beer is OK,but,unfortunately leads to the rum and insanity!
You saw me at my worse you would wonder how the hell am I even alive!
So,unless real end of world signs really need to keep the booze and me apart,not blaming the booze at all,tis all on me.
Umm, James, did you forget about Russia, Ukraine and NATO or OTAN or whatever those evil MF’rs want to be called?
