In a sweeping and highly coordinated military and intelligence operation, Israel launched what it called a preemptive strike early Friday morning against Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure, following years of covert groundwork. The effort, named Operation Rising Lion, combined deep-cover Mossad activity and wide-scale Israeli Air Force (IAF) strikes, culminating in one of the most ambitious Israeli operations in history.
According to Israeli security officials cited by The Times of Israel, N12, Euronews, and Fox News, Mossad had spent years infiltrating Iranian territory. Their agents reportedly smuggled in precision-guided weapons, camouflaged advanced strike systems in vehicles, and even established a secret drone base near Tehran.
The intention, officials said, was to create the conditions for a decapitating blow to Iran’s air defense and long-range missile capabilities, executed from within Iran’s own borders.

So Mossad and Israel pulled off the greatest intelligence/covert operation in modern history but missed 10/7 with Hamas just feet away.....Ok sure.
Some of us were born at night but it wasn't last night....10/7 was a false flag to go to war just like 9/11 was.
But you do have to admit, this fight was a long time brewing, and sooner or later this day was going to come.
The key question, will they actually finish the job this time, or once again, just punch them in the face a few times, and go back to business as usual with Iran stewing over a fat lip and a black eye, only to see another ..cough cough... massacre a year down the road when they inevitably retaliate?
If US and USSR had any brains they'd stay out
