The first video in this strike is in colour.



This is probably not the first time, but it's the first time I have seen such a video of an airstrike in colour. Usually they're all in black and white.

I'm not certain if that figure is correct. The number is likely down around 350-400 per day.

You could be right. I don't know. Frankly haven't been interested in listening to briefing highlights.

You are right it’s closer to 400 now but the figures were different in the first few days so it seems the figures are all over the place,

the Israeli military said it had hit at least 300 defense systems across the country, 750 targets in Tehran alone, and “hundreds” of command and control targets. And after the first day of the campaign, the IDF announced it had hit 500 targets in a single day. As rates of fire have held roughly constant, a conservative estimate would suggest this has continued as a daily rate – so also around 2,000 targets in the first four days.

In terms of strike intensity, on Wednesday the Israeli military said it had dropped more than 5,000 bombs and on Thursday declared it had carried out 2,500 strikes. On average it appears the IDF has been dropping about 1,000 munitions per day.

As such, the two militaries combined were striking a conservative estimate of 1,000 targets per day in the first days of the conflict – around 4,000 over the first 100 hours of the campaign.

IRGC should be very careful to not target civilian targets because Iranians are much more vulnerable themselves.

After yesterday attack in Dimona, Israel is much more belligerent to indiscriminately bomb civilian targets.

War is over in all likelihood.... everyone knew for how long Iran can resist... technically it may not be unconditional surrender but surrender it's.

A message to cool the markets IMO, but it seems Qalibaf came to the negotiation table. Biggest issue is we don’t seem to know who is running things. Mojtaba is injured, isolated, and not receiving any messages.
