The Beat Goes On, Like Israel's Air Campaign Against Iran

 Nadene Goldfoot                                               


Israel continues it's air campaign against Iran. Overnight, over 50 fighter jets struck military, missile production and nuclear related targets in Tehran. The International Atomic Energy Agency tweeted,

Back in 1966-1970, Sonny and Cher had the song that was popular.  Ironically, the players on the song were The Wrecking Crew.

 "At the Tehran site, one building was hit where advanced centrifuge rotors were manufactured and tested. 

At Karaj, two buildings were destroyed where different centrifuge components were manufactured."

Iran fired 30 ballistic missiles at Israel last night, all of which were either intercepted or fell in open areas causing no casualties or damage. Israel is reportedly running low on defensive Arrow interceptors. 

Iran had around 2,000 ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel before the start of the conflict. It has fired 400 at Israel. 

The IDF has destroyed a third of Iran's missiles and launchers, and continues to destroy more regularly. That explains why the Iranian attacks are getting smaller and less effective.

An Israeli drone was shot down operating over Iran last night. 

The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem is closed until Friday as Iran and Israel trade strikes. Iran's Ambassador to the UN Ali Bahreini warned that his country would respond firmly if the U.S. directly entered the conflict.           


Yesterday, President Trump posted that the U.S knew the location of Iran's Supreme Leader but was choosing not to kill him. 

I opened up "Fox News" that appeared on my YouTube and was very pleased.  It was the only straight-forward reporting on the continuing war between Israel and Iran that I have found this morning.    Iran refused Trump's peace plan.  

Trump then posted, “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” 

President Donald Trump says he has given Iran the "ultimate ultimatum" regarding his demand for an unconditional surrender.

Trump made the comments to reporters during Wednesday press conference during which he also said the U.S. may or may not join Israel in striking Iran in the coming days.

"Have you given Iran an ultimatum?" a reporter asked.

"You could say so, the ultimate ultimatum," Trump responded.

Earlier, Trump had emphasized that the U.S. would never allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. He also mocked Iran as "defenseless," and said he has not made up his mind about striking Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's regime.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali 

Khamenei said that Iran would never 

surrender.                     

"The GBU-57A/B MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator) is a 30,000-pound (13,600 kg) precision-guided "bunker buster" bomb developed for the United States Air Force (USAF). The designation GBU, short for Guided Bomb Unit, reflects its use of precision guidance systems."  It's one of a kind.  

The U.S. is the only force with the "bunker busting" bombs capable of destroying the underground Iranian nuclear facility at Fordow.  

U.S. B-2 Stealth bombers are stationed at Diego Garcia, in the Indian Ocean, 3,300 miles and within striking distance from Iran. 

But there are reportedly other ways that Israel can destroy the Fordow facility, even without U.S. help. [If I had to bet, I'd put my money on Trump taking this once in a lifetime opportunity to destroy Iran's nuclear ambitions for good.]  Israel feels they will have the facility destroyed without bunker bombs in one or two weeks from now.  

Fordow  is an Iranian underground uranium enrichment facility located 30 kilometres (20 mi) from the Iranian city of Qom, at a former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base.  Existence of the then-unfinished enrichment plant was disclosed to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) by Iran on 21 September 2009, but only after the site became known to Western intelligence services. Western officials strongly condemned Iran for not disclosing the site earlier; U.S. president Barack Obama said that Fordow had been under U.S. surveillance.  That got them off the hook of lying.   Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant in Iran, was known of in 2004.

Mossad has been working in Iran, even having built drones within the enemy country.   


This war with Iran is far from over and the situation is constantly changing and evolving, 

Let us all pray that God blesses Israel with the power and capabilities to destroy evil and bring a new chapter of peace to the Middle East and the entire world. And may He protect Israel and the world, and bless us with everlasting peace.
