And now what...
It's on ZH too:And now what...
Explosions were heard near Isfahan airport and Hashtam Shikari airbase in Iran.
Local media say that Israel is behind the attack. This information has not been officially confirmed.
Residents are sharing footage on social networks, which shows air defense work and sounds of an air alert. Immediately several planes in the sky over Iran abruptly changed course in the opposite direction, follows from Flightradar24 data.
It is also reported that almost simultaneously explosions sounded in Syria and Iraq.

The Iranians are now reporting they shot down a few drones near Isfahan and (possibly) Tabriz... which seems to have been the sum total of any Israeli operation today. Reports of strikes elsewhere appear to have been false, let alone reports of a huge Israeli air attack.
This kind of false alarm can be very useful in evaluating the information environment regardless. Who reported rumors with poor or no corroboration? Who made confident statements about what was going on that they had no basis for? Who tried to run ahead of the narrative and ended up getting run over by the facts? Looking at you, "US officials" who seem extremely eager to spread absolute nonsense... and credentialed journalists who ran with it for no reason.
Israeli Counterstrike Against Iran?
Color me somewhat dubious at this juncture.Whatever has happened so far over Iran does not seem to me to be anything in the neighborhood of a "serious attack".
Maybe a few long-range cruise missiles were launched. But no evidence so far of successful missile strikes.
Also no indication so far of ballistic missile strikes, nor any credible indication of strike aircraft penetrating Iranian airspace.Possibly a probing drone attack to light up Iranian air defenses.Gold and oil spiked modestly, but have now plateaued. In the "heat of the moment", they typically reflect "privileged information".
So, for now, I'm inclined to reserve judgment about this being a bona fide serious Israeli counterstrike.
Of course, that doesn't mean the Iranians won't regard it as justification for a more potent strike of their own.
(L) But anyway, it has been one hell of a year, and I think we all know that, as I have said on many occasions, it can't go on forever. I mean, it just keeps getting worse and worse, but it can't go on forever. Andromeda wants to know when it's gonna come to a head?
A: First there must be a cleansing.
Q: (L) And what exactly is a cleansing?
A: Wait and see.
Q: (L) Will this cleansing occur in 2024?
A: In spaces.
Q: (L) "In spaces"... You mean like in some places and not others?
A: Yes
Q: (L) Okay, so it'll be spotty at the beginning?
A: Yes
I think it was assumed cleansing would be something else - a difficult process, maybe cleansing of something we don't want. So that was wishful thinking. Instead, it has turned out, at least in part, to be ethnic cleansing of Gaza. And the C's indicate that it will happen in spaces - plural. So there may yet be more to come. Cleansing could also mean getting rid of the Ukronazis, for instance. Cleansing could also refer to the numerous reports of Mossad spy rings being busted in Iran.
Like water of a ducks back.Von der Leyen is interrupted and accused of having "Blood of Palestinian children in his hands", It's not something to be happy about, but it feels good when these people are exposed.
Will EU impose sanctions on Israel for attacking Iran?It means that EU supports Israel's ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Nearly 50 attendees of Israel’s Nova festival died by suicide since Oct. 7, survivor says
Nearly 50 traumatized revelers who survived the Hamas attack on the Nova music festival in Israel have died by suicide in the last six months because they were unable to cope with the tragedy, a survivor revealed Tuesday.
“Few people know, but there have been almost 50 suicides among the Nova survivors. This number, which was true two months ago, may have increased since,” Nova festival survivor Guy Ben Shimon told a parliamentary hearing for a State Audit Commission on the treatment of the Oct. 7 survivors.
The hearing focused on alleged failures by state entities toward the survivors of the Hamas attack on the Jewish state.
The Israeli Ministry of Health said it does not have information to corroborate the claim about the suicides.
New York Post article is coming from I24NEWS reported, well known by its propaganda and lies, same texts over several media.It's certainly very shocking to experience something like that, but the number of suicides is too high! If the numbers are right, maybe there's something else going on. I know it sounds far-fetched, but perhaps an attempt to silence witnesses? Just a thought.
Reports at RT as well, for a moment I thought that the blackmail of attacking Rafah instead of Iran was going to be... given?... It mentions that is not confirmed, not confirmed? What? Although, at Official BRICS X account is a fact of Israel attacking Iran.

These commentaries are obviously on the skeptical side of things.
Now the most important part of the war will begin. War on the Internet/
-Iran will claim they shot down everything that came over Isfahan including 2 vultures and a kite.
- Israel will claim that their single drone destroyed 3 bases, two nuclear reactors, slapped the head of the IRGC five times on the face, and then returned safely to the base.
- And numerous variants in between.
Oil and gold prices have eased after Iranian authorities appeared to downplay reports of an attack from Israel.
Brent crude, the international benchmark, fell after jumping briefly to over $90 a barrel after reports emerged of an attack.
Gold briefly came close to a record high before settling below $2,400 an ounce.
There are concerns a worsening conflict in the Middle East could disrupt oil supplies.
