No details, but Israel has launched strikes against targets in Iran and its proxy states.

I think this is a powerful indicator of the change in the mindset of the Israeli people. The entire world wanted them to be passive in the face of an Iranian attack on their homeland.

Israel said: "No."

Simultaneous Israeli strikes on Iran, Iraq and Syria - reports

Iranian outlets are reporting no damage, and in fact at least one is claiming that the attacks came from within the country. Why that is better is a question that should. Be asked of the mad Mullahs.

What happens next? An expansion of the simmering war? As Diogenes pointed out yesterday, it's a long supply line between Iran and Israel, and Iranian forces would be vulnerable the entire way. My guess is an increase in Hezbollah activity and a staunch Iranian denial of any damage.

But the stage is set for significant changes. Hopefully it will be regime change in Iran, with the pressure from within.

The strike is undoubtedly a message to the Mullahs that Israel can hit them wherever they are. It seems to be a limited strike, which suggests that it was political rather than military.
