I have a feeling that we won't be disappointed tonight. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
@Tijani said he had on good authority that they would hit Israel well tonight. Source if of course "trust me, bro" but let's see what will happen.
 

UK to send reinforcements to RAF Akrotiri​

Joe Inwood
World news correspondent

Yesterday, the UK prime minister announced that reinforcements would be sent to RAF Akrotiri. The exact numbers aren’t clear, but will include more Typhoons as well as Voyager refuelling aircraft.

It may not actually be in the Middle East, but RAF Akrotiri - on the island of Cyprus - is the UK’s most significant base in the region.

It was from there that RAF planes launched thousands of missions against ISIS over nearly a decade.

It is home to fast jet combat aircraft - notably the Eurofighter Typhoon - as well as air-to-air refuelling, search and rescue helicopters, air transport, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft.

Mikey Kay is a former RAF wing commander who spent a year in Akrotiri. He also presents the Security Brief on BBC News.

“It allows the UK to project power and influence within the region,” he tells me. “It gives the UK relatively close home-basing in the region. UK Typhoons have carried out airstrikes on the Houthis, they have been operating in northern Syria.

Having RAF Akotiri in the region in a huge asset to the UK.”

People have no choice. When the country is invaded, they may even install Maryam Rajavi. Reza Pahlavi is at least the better scenario than Maryam Rajavi.

A ground invasion is a different scenario then what is happening now. I'm not convinced it will happen yet.

Why are you guys discussing this? Do you think we will get invaded?

Its a repeated tragedy of Muslims, we leave each other in the lurch at our darkest hours thinking we will be safe in future. People have short memory, when Hezbullah was getting pounded, on this vary forum, people were shouting, "where is Iran"? Iran thought to sit that one out, now perhaps those among Iran who made that decision are ten feet under ground.

Our adversaries dont think like that, that act as one, for them if one of them fall, then they will all fall eventually. Just look how Israel is getting the support. Just look at us even, we just fought the enemy 10 size of us, all alone.

And this disunity is what they always bank on and has always worked.
 


Iran's missile programme more potent than its air force
​

Chris Partridge
BBC News weapons analyst

While the Air Force might not be a formidable force, Iran's missile programme is more potent as we have seen over the past two nights in Israel - and over the past few years.

The Center for Strategic and International Studies states that Tehran has the largest and most diverse missile capability in the Middle East. Thousands of ballistic and cruise missiles of varying types complement its extensive use of drones, such as the Shahed family.

These missiles and drones will continue to be Iran's primary means of attack.

The question is how long it can sustain such strikes as Israel continues to hit harder and likely deeper inside the country itself.
