    So this means they can’t attack Rafah now, right? Right? Since they went back on their retaliation agreement and all…

      This is proof that Israel will do whatever it wants and the US will still unconditionally support them. Biden has absolutely no spine and has absolutely no control over the situation yet still wants to fund them and vetoe any resolutions in the UN that are against Israel or pro Palestine.

        I think it is worse than having no spine. Biden is intentionally running interference and feigning concern from the sidelines while continuing to arm Israel to the teeth and enabling their genocide. This duplicity culminated in US vetoing full UN membership for Palestine because they weren’t able to bully their way out of a UNSC vote. Honestly I can’t wait until Trump outs his sleepy ass, at least with him you know he will be a straight up cunt.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    US officials have confirmed that Israel has carried out airstrikes against Iran as explosions were reported in the sky over the cities of Isfahan and Tabriz, while the Iranian government sought to play down the scale of the attack.

    Internal Iranian flights were cancelled, passengers at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini airports were told to leave the building, and detonations were also reported in the sky over Tabriz.

    A reporter on the Tasnim news agency, closely affiliated to the IRGC, broadcast a video at dawn, showing the time on his watch, saying he was outside a nuclear site in Isfahan province which was “completely safe”.

    Siavosh Mihandoust, a senior commander in Iran’s army, was reported by state TV as saying there was no damage in Isfahan.

    Officials from the Biden administration said Israel had warned Washington earlier on Thursday that a strike was coming in the next 24 to 48 hours, a warning that was delivered by a virtual session of the US-Israeli Strategic Consultative Group involving the US national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, and his Israeli counterpart, Tzachi Hanegbi as well as the Israeli minister for strategic affairs, Ron Dermer.

    He described Sunday’s aerial attack on Israel as “our minimum response”, but if there was another Israeli strike the Iranian would respond “at a maximum level”.
