Anti-Ice rioters aren’t the only people whose balls are being obliterated this week. The “nothing ever happens” crowd took a hard hit to the nads too as Israel launched what they called a “preemptive strike” on Iran.
Early reports say multiple airstrikes have been carried out throughout Iran, including the capital Tehran. This comes after escalating tensions in the region relating to Iran’s nuclear program. Earlier this week, Iran claimed to have acquired a trove of classified documents about the Israeli nuclear program. They also stated that any attack made against their nuclear sites would mean a retaliatory Iranian strike on Israel’s nuclear facilities. While the veracity of the Iranian claim has not been confirmed, it is telling that immediately afterwards, nuclear talks between the two parties came to an end and the United States began evacuating some of it’s Middle Eastern personnel.
In Israel, Defense Minister Israel Katz declared a state of emergency. “Following the State of Israel’s preemptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future,” he declared. In addition, Israel closed it’s airspace to all civilian air traffic. The Israeli military stated that the operation, called Operation Nation of Lions, was aimed at dozens of nuclear sites throughout Iran.
Iran has yet to retaliate, but such actions should be expected very soon. Iran has demonstrate it’s ability to launch large scale ballistic missile strikes against Israel in the past, attacks which overwhelmed Israel’s air defences. While the previous attacks were aimed at Israeli airbases, new retaliatory attacks may be aimed at Israel’s nuclear and economic infrastructure, in addition to military targets.
