True Promise Redux

Shahed-136 Drones

The Zionists executed a “pre-emptive” strike on the Islamic Republic of Iran yesterday. “Operation Rising Lion” attempted to destroy Iranian nuclear enrichment sites, missile warehouses, and perform a “decapitation” strike on the military leadership and nuclear scientist team. Mossad sabotage agents had crossed the border into Iran and launched drones to disable Iranian air defenses (suspiciously similar to the modus operandi of “Operation Spiderweb” executed by Ukraine on the Russian Federation).

In the aftermath, “Orange Bad Man” confessed publicly, “We knew all along,” just hours after initially claiming ignorance. He then gloatingly praised the Zionist offensive as, “Excellent!” Of course, the Iranian leadership is fully aware that the collective “West” was providing ISR and refueling logistical support for the Zionist incursion, and all along denying any participation.

Many of the “armchair generals” on the Net were pontificating about the “weakness” and “stupidity” of the Iranian leadership. The assassination of senior military staff was a real sore point. The “armchair generals” come from a “Western” viewpoint. They do not understand Islamic martyrdom in which an honorable death is prized. In addition, replacements were quickly appointed with zero time lag for continuity of operations.

Iran launched its retaliatory strike, “Operation True Promise III,” on the Zionist state this morning beginning with a wave of drones. Then, subsequent waves of missile launches followed. Official news from either side has been sparse. PressTV has been unveiling damage footage in Iran as it becomes available. Lots of raw footage of damage is appearing from the Zionist side on social media platforms since military censorship is in effect, most of which are unverified.

At the time of this Notes post, three waves of missiles have been launched from Iran, including some of the dreaded hypersonic variety. The Zionist “Iron Dome” has been ineffective and stocks of interceptor missiles are being depleted. Iran has allegedly downed four Zionist F-37 (two confirmed) and two F-16 aircraft (unconfirmed) in its airspace with one female pilot in custody and two others on the run.

Well, at least “Orange Bad Man” will have his military parade this weekend. It’s supposed to be honoring the 250-year history of the army of empire. However, “Orange” has made the event his own special birthday party. There’s no hope for “Orange” now. He is “all in” with Fascism. Good luck with that, old boy.

Addendum: Aside from the usual approved news sites, the Al Manar (Lebanon) site provides a running timeline of the war in progress.
