The time of The Retaliation is at hand. Let’s see what Iran has cooking. Last deep breath before the plunge, given how insane the Israelis have been the past few weeks I fully expect this to explode into regional war proper. Long time coming.

THEIR brutal unprompted invasion of a sovereign nation, OUR special military operation to neutralize terrorists

Negotiating with the United States is like negotiating with the demons in Frieren or something. They may use “words” but those words hold no meaning, they recognize no promises, they are only speaking to manipulate you into a position where you can be destroyed.

The United States promised a ceasefire in Gaza on the terms Hamas negotiated with Israel in exchange for Iran not retaliating. Instead the Israelis used this détente to take out Nasrallah and invade Lebanon.

Pezeshkian had already been complaining that he had received little in return for listening to western-inspired pleas not to seek immediate revenge for the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas leader assassinated by Israel in Tehran. Pezeshkian said he had been promised that a Gaza ceasefire deal that would see the release of hostages and Palestinian political prisoners was only a week or two away.

Thanks! Paywalls delenda est.

The U.S. has indications that Iran is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic missile attack against Israel, a senior White House official tells Axios.

Per https://www.axios.com/2024/10/01/iran-missile-attack-israel

The US Embassy in Israel has issued a high-level alert to its employees in Israel and the Palestinian territories instructing them to return home and be prepared to enter a bomb shelter. This is the first such order since Iran’s attack in April.

Per https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/10/01/world/israel-lebanon-hezbollah

The buzz on the Telegrams is that Washington is claiming Iran is about to hit Israel with a ballistic missile attack “imminently” so we’ll see if The Retaliation finally comes given Iran just got embarrassingly and pathetically played.

Cold feet in regards to what exactly? Hezbollah’s been pounding the north for months. They unveiled a new missile today that struck Haifa. What “cold feet” are we talking about here? Preemptively invading Israel for reasons unknown? Attempting to goad Israel into nuking Beirut? Curious what you’re expecting here.

Nothing more has “happened” outside of Israel continually air-striking southern Lebanon and various parts of Beirut, displacing around a million people many of whom are fleeing to Iraq and Syria, and Hezbollah responding in kind with various rocket and missile launches into parts of Israel. Lots of buzz however of an “imminent” invasion, including some reports that there’s already been Israeli (and likely American) special forces “incursions” into southern Lebanon.

“Special Military Operation” type beat for their invasion

I remember I listened to Disgruntled Postal Workers on a CD I got from my cousin on repeat for like three years but then my CD got eaten by a raccoon and I never ripped it for mp3s so it’s lost to the sands of time. I’ll never forget you Disgruntled Postal Workers

Feels like the phrase “critical support” is like tailored made for Assad. It took me so long during the Civil War to understand that even though Assad is 100% a piece of shit he’s somehow significantly less a piece of shit than like every other actor in that shitshow.

I don’t know if it’s true, but I do know that the Israelis always always lie about who they kill and consistently spread propaganda to demoralize their enemies. I’m not doing their job for them, and I don’t think you should either.

A lot of dooming in this thread. Nasrallah is a massive loss, he’ll be missed and honoured as a true hero. But we’re really missing the forest for the trees here. What’s next for Israel? What wins do they even have left? What happens when tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, and every day after that, when the rockets keep flying into northern Israel, when the settlers are still unable to return to their homes, when the residents of Haifa keep running for cover? Nasrallah has already won, the decline of the entity is baked in. There’s nothing for them to do but death, death at a mass scale, but none of it changes the game. Hezbollah will keep pounding the Israelis, and a thousand Nasrallahs wait in the ranks. Leaders are important, but when the people have resolve you cannot stop them. If you need some hope today watch The Battle of Algiers, it shows how even if you kill everybody, you eliminate all the leaders, you cannot kill the movement. You cannot win.
