Israel strikes Iran: Explosions in Tehran, sirens in Israel

ZeroHedge is runing an ongoing blog, Trump does NOT want to join the war, but offers moral support, intelligence and supplies to Israel. Some say that if the Fordow uranium enrichment site is not destroyed then Israel's attack is a failure. I call BS to that. Israel is destroying the regime. After it falls, the Fordow site can be dismantled or destroyed. Israel has already bombed the access points, so vehicles, missiles, people can't really get in/out. That neutralizes it, at least for now.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei
Khamenei in bunker in northeastern Tehran; Israel didn’t kill him Friday to give him chance to yield — report
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was evacuated to an underground bunker in northeastern Tehran hours after Israel began its strikes Friday, Iran International reports, citing two informed sources inside the country.
Khamenei is together with all of his family at the shelter in Lavizan, the sources say. He sought shelter in the bunker when Iran launched its attacks on Israel in April 2024 and October, too.
Additionally, Israel did not assassinate Khamenei on the first night of the operation to give him a final chance to completely ditch his uranium enrichment program, the outlet reports, citing a diplomatic source in the Middle East.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was moved to an underground bunker in Lavizan in northeastern Tehran hours after Israel began its attacks on Tehran early Friday, two informed sources inside Iran told Iran International.
All members of Khamenei's family including his son Mojtaba are with him, the sources said.
According to the sources, during the previous operations against Israel, True Promise 1 and True Promise 2, the Supreme Leader’s family was also taken to the bunker.
At that time, Mojtaba was by his side, but two of his sons, Masoud and Mostafa, were not with him.
Iran’s first direct attack on Israel, Operation True Promise 1, took place on April 13, 2024, and involved over 300 missiles and drones targeting military installations. The strike was in retaliation for the killing of two Iranian generals in Damascus.
Operation True Promise 2 followed on October 1, 2024, with approximately 200 missiles aimed at Israeli military facilities in response to the assassination of Iran-aligned militant leaders, including former Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.
Warning to Khamenei
On Sunday, Israel targeted the city of Mashhad, located 2,300 kilometers from the Jewish State, for the first time.
A diplomatic source in the Middle East told Iran International that the Israeli airstrike on Mashhad was a warning to Iran’s Supreme Leader that he is not safe anywhere in the country. . .

It seems pretty clear right now that the MAIN OBJECTIVE of Israel at this stage is complete regime change in Iran.
Israel destroyed the Iranian army, navy and air force in addition to their missile defense and air defense systems.
Israel destroyed their economic engine by blowing up their main natural gas and oil field.
Israel destroyed the 2nd leg of their economic engine by blowing up their missile production facilities so they can't sell more missile to Russia, Pakistan, Yemen, etc
Israel KILLED their military leadership, all of them.
Israel destroyed the headquarters of the riot police, which enforce Sharia Law inside the country, and which are much hated by many Iranian citizens.
The military objective remaining is the Furdo/Furdow nuclear facility that is literally under a mountain. USA is the only nation on earth with the type of bombs needed to destroy that facility and we also have bombers large enough to actually carry those huge bombs. Nobody else, with the possible exception of Russia, has aircraft like that.
Israel is still searching for mobile missile launchers, which are used in nightly attacks against Israel's population centers. That is like a game of whack-a-mole as they can launch and them move/hide the launchers.
SO it is pretty clear, Israel wants to topple the mullahs religious government.

Dad's ship!
With USS Nimitz deployment, the US surges air and sea assets to the Middle East
The U.S. military is also sending aircraft to the Middle East and Europe in case they are needed to support U.S. installations overseas.

My thought is we wait until Iran's regime collapses.
After the Ayatollah is dead, or flees that nation, but not until their government collapses, then we can get involved in a very limited way.
The most involvement we need, a handful of our B52 bombers and a bunch of our largest bunker buster bombs. One after another, hit the Fordo nuclear site under the mountain. Same spot. Big bomb. Next bomber, same spot. Big bomb. Next bomber, same spot. Eventually the mountain will collapse on that bunker.
Israel can finish everything else. The world owes them a huge favor, but we don't want to get into a World War.

Boots on the ground, entering one of the most fortified places on earth?
Risks are probably a lot higher to our troops than simply dropping a couple dozen bombs.
Trump told Iran that he expects "unconditional surrender" but IRAN's Ayatollah says 'no' to that.
Trump now says he has made a decision to attack Iran to support Israel. But we don't know what that mean. We don't know if that is air support only. We don't know if that is 'boots on the ground'. We don't know if that is WHATEVER is needed . . . but with a time limit (because Trump specifically has stated that he will not be involved in "forever" wars.
We simply know that our President has approved strikes, but is withholding permission to actually commit.
So it seems like a 'when' rather than an 'if'.

Did Israel just terminate the Ayatollah?
Also, apparently tourists don't visit Tehran during 'vacation' season in Iran. They flee to the countryside and leave all the roads vacant in the capital city. Or so says the propaganda media inside the theocratic dictatorship
Iran reported that smoke is billowing in the Lavizan area of the capital Tehran as a result of an Israeli attack. Last Sunday, the 'Iran International' website reported from two knowledgeable sources in Iran that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei 'was moved to an underground bunker in Lavizan in northeast Tehran, hours after Israel began its attacks on Tehran on Friday morning.' According to the report, all members of Khamenei's family, including his son Mojtaba, are with him.
