Israel - Palestine

Tehran elites are in their bunkers already, but some are saying Israel won't respond to being attacked until after Passover - 30 April
Probably right. Perth Jews are taking Passover particularly seriously this year, they have been preparing for weeks. So probably equally so in Israel.
 
Unconfirmed, as 'the enforcer' news channel stresses, but looks like Israel is now making direct retaliatory strikes at military targets inside Iran on the Ayatollah's birthday (how cruel) . That is, not against proxies. Iran reported as threatening strike against Israel nuclear sites.
(Umm .. U.S stock futures down according to marketwatch)

From the BBC

It's nearly two hours since we first heard reports of explosions in Iran. Here's what we know so far:
  • Two US officials have confirmed to the BBC's US partner CBS News that an Israeli missile has struck Iran
  • Early Friday morning, explosions were heard around the central city of Isfahan, Iranian media reported, saying three drones were destroyed after the country's air defence systems were activated
  • Isfahan is home to an Iranian air base and the province has several military sites. There are no reports so far that anything was hit and Iranian media says all nuclear facilities are safe
  • Meanwhile, several flights have been diverted around Iran's airspace, tracking sites show
  • Israel's military and the Pentagon have both declined to comment so far
I much prefer the BBC. I remember being lied to by the USA media about the missiles being stopped in the first Iraq war with footage when in fact they nearly all got through (as per the BBC reporting).
 
Well they might as well get on with it in the middle east, all this tooing and froing, gets it no where just endless misery and suffering, if they can't sort it out with talks get on with it and sort it out quickly with military strength.

That is usually how it ends up playing out, as per Russia and Ukraine.

At the moment it is all looking like a lot of theatrics, which is causing a lot of misery for those living in Gazza, while no one in power is actually making any diffinitive action to bring it to closure.
 

No missile attack in Iran: official​

There's been direct denial of a missile attack on Iran from an Iranian space agency official on X.
Hossein Dalirian wrote: "There has been no air attack from outside borders to Isfahan or other parts of the country."
He said Israel had "only made a failed and humiliating attempt to fly quadcopters [drones] and the quadcopters have also been shot down."
Iranian state media have reported similarly, saying that air defence systems were activated in several areas of the country overnight to engage possible targets, but there were no reports of any direct impact or explosion.
It adds that all facilities, including nuclear facilities, are safe.

There is alleged footage.

Personal opinion: one or more missiles have struck targets, but probably intended as nothing more than a little bit of a fireworks show.

A few left jabs thrown from each side nothing more. Face saving exercises.

The real @#$ is yet to come (well we actually hope not).

Have you ever thought WHY they Don't Return ALL the ISRAELI 239 civilian Hostages?

Do you really think they will release the ones who are raped several times a day!
Do you really think THOSE will be alive to tell their story?

If you had a Mother Sister Daughter or Son as a hostage I would say you would change your stance

Have you ever thought why The Palestinians Welcome the Hamas and don't surrender them in to STOP the WAR"?
It is because they are all Hamas sympathises IMHO

BTW: As far as I know!
Why does "No other Arabian Country Wants them"
They have Plenty of LAND and Plenty of Money! but they like to keep them in contained for reasons inexplicable

Anyway , I note you give a thumbs up to every ASF post except mine
That is your choice and I respect it

I am sure you won't be upset with being "Lost at Sea" in rough Seas on my thread

Be good to your Mother, Sister, Daughter and Son and a Bon Voyage
Let' hope they never become a hostage

Do you think the constant barrage that those in Gazza are facing, while those in Israel face no consequences is a more attractive outcome?
So how long do you let the innocent Mothers, sisters daughters there suffer before you say enough is enough, you've had your pound of flesh.
Where do you draw the line between revenge and gratification?
From what I've read even the supports ard calling for Israel to stop the barrage, one would think sooner or later Iran will send something a hell of a lot bigger toward Isreal, then it will turn into a bigger mess or bring it to a rapid end.

By the way with regard your postings as a more longer term sort of investor, I tend not to follow your thread and follow the individual company threads or threads that compliment my investment or socoal interests, I find I don't have the time to follow all the threads.

So it isn't a personal thing, when I've read your posts I've found them interesting and the forum wouldn't survive without posters such as yourself who put the time and effort in, I will try to remember to like your posts when I read them and find them informative.
You can always look on the bright side, I may not have given you many likes, but I also have never criticised you either.

Should be noted that Israel had been assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists over the last few years. I think they used a remote sniper rifle in one incident where the agents had already flown back to Israel and killed the guy remotely.

So obviously something in Iran's nuclear space has moved to a position that Israel is willing to go high stakes.

That is kind of what I was alluding to in the last post, from memory both Israel and Iran are nuclear abled, so what is the end game keep agitating utill one of them lets of a nuke.
I mean that would make things a hell of a lot worse.
Everyone needs to take a deep breath IMO and sort out a long term resolution, this issue has been festering for a long time.
 
What I cannot understand is WHY did/does not the innocent Fathers Brothers and Sons hand over the HAMAS Leaders and terrorist and help Free the Hostages before they come out Damaged goods, if at all or . Israel did not go into GAZA for territorial gain ?

I am Sure we in Australia and in Any other civilized country would have handed the Terrorists over to the IDF immediately after the Start of the Destruction of GAZA

Agree 100% but I think the hate over there runs so deep that no matter what concessions either side makes, the fighting between the sides is endless, it just ebbs and flows.

Because the terrorists have the guns and the innocents don't?
 
Seeing as Iran seems to now be involved, a view from just one guy on the street, vs the Islamic Theocracy. If nothing else you just might learn some swear words in Farsi

I keep thinking the high stakes is because it's the only way Netanyahu can stay in power and out of jail, just start WWIII.
