But, if the Israelis don’t launch multi-day strikes against Iranian military infrastructure (including their nuclear programme) as a result of this I’d be stunned.

Genie Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 It’s so strange having this period of a couple of hours waiting for missiles and drones to arrive. The anxiety levels of those in Isreal must be off the charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re probably right, but I worry about how careful Iran have been when sending several hundred bombs into Isreal. If a US / British / Western site is hit (intention of not) then there will be pressure once again retaliate. Lets hope Israel’s defences are as good as they say they are, and Iran stand down.

Mate, the Israelis aren’t going to end this by saying ‘phew, that was close.” Iran will get malleted. Iranian channels reporting first wave of ballistic missiles now launched, and online sources (unconfirmed) claiming large amounts of rockets being fired now from Southern Lebanon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Dome can manage it, though any heading for uninhabited land may be left to hit the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
