Scarier than beepers.
A decapitation strike, in theory, bypasses conventional battles to take out the leadership of a regime. It’s the sort of thing that the United States explores in theory, but is careful about in practice.
And that’s reason #412 why we never win wars anymore.
On paper, decapitation strikes, depending on how they’re implemented may violate international law. And so rather than take out Saddam, we spend years and countless lives to usher in democracy. You’re not supposed to target officers. Too bad the other side doesn’t play by those rules or care about them.
Israel however went after element of Iran’s shadow government, including its terrorist apparatus. Operation Rising Lion is in theory somewhat similar to Beepergate, but applied to a state. Infiltrate and then eliminate its key figures.
Three of the regime’s most serious military commanders are gone. To do that, Israel had to have actionable and immediate intelligence as to their location on a realtime basis. That has to scare Iran’s regime worse than the beepers.

It’s like, “I know who you are; I saw what you did.”
If I were a mullah….what an ugly word….I’d be shaking in my boots as I hid somewhere in the woods, leaving all electronics at home.
Assassinations in MN. The first report I read didn’t say the woman and her husband died. All of the news now report that they did, but the other couple may survive. The murderer pretended to be a police officer.
Will the ICE raids be blamed?
Will maga people?

Jeepers, creepers, where’d ya get those beepers? Me-o, my-o, where’d ya get those spies?
Gotta’ hand it to the Israelis for knowing where the enemy is at all times. It seems the Ayatollah’s murderous regime has few friends and only holds power through intimidation. These guys are living proof that there is compulsion in Islam.
May Iran’s Mullas and leaders receive everyhing they have earned and deserve.
Westman says
Musk opened up Starlink for Iranians after the frightened Regime shut down the internet. They now have the means to organize and dump the Regime into the trash bin of history. Good luck, Persians.
Stive says
What’s left of Iran rulers are now at war on the future with each other. The people are closer yet to topple the regime. At some point there will be cohesion between the people and some out of the regime. Iran is going to be free soon. The crown prince will return and help set up a free republic. He is far wiser than his father with decades in the west learning.
The only thing that can prevent a soon free Iran is a trump deal.

I for one am exceedingly glad that Jews, speaking in the aggregate, are far smarter than Muslims, speaking in the aggregate. Imagine if it were the other way around. Perish the thought, no? The Islamic world’s significant dearth of abilities and achievements serve, actually, as a boon to mankind, contra the Jewish world.
Long live Israel. Long live the Jewish people. Israel and America are the two greatest hopes for mankind among nations. I can’t think of another nation that holds out better hope for the human race than either America or Israel. A la Abraham Lincoln, “the better angels of our nature” among the countries on this planet can be found most likely, most concentrated, in the two polities I just named. How fortunate for mankind that America and Israel exist. Minus both mankind would descend into the darkest of dark ages in its still brief duration here on Earth.

Yes, the average IQs of Jews are very significantly higher than that of muslims.
Very significantly.
gravenimage says
The average IQ score of Ashkenazi Jews falls in a range of 108–115–among the highest in the world. NationMaster.com lists the average IQ for Muslim countries as 82.
Compare and contrast…
James Lincoln says
Thanks for the numbers, gravenimage.
Mom says
Inbreeding in the Muslim community? To account for low IQ? Females not allowed to go to school lowering average IQ?
Ralph says
Centuries of inbreeding has its effect.

Islam’s Muslims are a continuous, terroristic threat to Israel, America, and all Non-Muslims due to Islam’s discrimination, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5, 29, 111; 98:6-7 and more).
Allah’s Islam, a Terrorist-Criminal Enterprise and a Murderous Cult, and its Believers, Terrorists for Allah(Quran 9:41, 88; 5:35, etc.), continually fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, supremacy, segregation, hatred, incitement to violence, genocide, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law, Sharia, and in Islam’s Quran. Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Americans and Westerners via Tax Exempt Organizations, the Media and Hollywood, Foreign Funding, etc. because Islam violates and is incompatible with Western Laws(Quran 9:5,29, 111; 49:15; 60:4 etc.).
Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam functions as a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) fighting against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL religion under Western Law because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes Terrorist Criminal Organizations with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah(Quran 9:5,29, 111; 49:15 etc.).
Allah’s demoniacal Islam, a hateful Antichrist Ideology, is using Western Freedoms and Laws against Non-Muslims to conquer Non-Muslims under Islamic Rule. Non-Muslims should legally designate Islam as a Muslim Terrorist Organization(MTO) where Mosques, Muslim Schools, Islamic Centers, Sharia Courts, and Muslim Organizations are banned because of their segregation and discrimination to fight back against ISLAMIZATION, Muslim subjugation, discrimination, and tyrannical violence(Quran 9:5,29,111; 60:4; 98:6-7 and more).
Sahih Bukhari 3126 says, “… the Prophet said, He who fights so that Allah’s Word(ie. Islam) should be superior, fights for Allah’s Cause.” Allah in Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah[ie. Allah’s Cause), so they kill and are killed…”.
Under Islam and Islamic Law, Muslims have the Legal Right and the Quranic Duty to terrorize Non-Muslims because neglecting this QURANIC DUTY is a Crime against tyrannical Allah. Jihad means warfare against Non-Muslims to ESTABLISH ISLAM’S RELIGION(Quran 3:115, 151; 9:5, 29, 111; Muslim Law Manual: “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0 and more).
More specifically, Islam, a terroristic-totalitarian way of life, is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Murderous, Criminal Enterprise of: intolerance, continuous war, discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran(Quran 2:208,216; 4:65, 89,95, 115; 5:14,64; 8:12,39,60, 74; 9:5,21,29,36, 41,49, 73,88, 111,123; 21:92; 49:15; 60:4; 61:9-11; 62:6; 89:14; etc.).

The Jews are an incredible race that will save all of humanity. It’s written in scripture.
Rufolino says
Yes John. The wonderful intelligence, plus humaniity, amongst Jewry is the hope of a dark world. No wonder God chose them as his.

Israel has now turned its attention to Iran’s energy facilities. If they wanna do that, all they need do is target Kharg island, which handles 90% of Iran’s oil exports
However, I do wish they’d strike the regime first, and try taking them out. Once Iran has a secular, democratic government, they are gonna need all that oil, so I do think it premature to destroy those
࿗Infidel࿘ says
On a different note, Iran’s leadership is reported to have appealed to Qatar and Oman to press Trump to pressure Israel to let off these attacks
Even if Trump obliges, Iran should do what India didn’t, and just say no, and complete this operation

Israel Tests Out a Decapitation Strike
……………………………….
Israel has claimed it has taken out *20* Iranian generals. Very impressive.
