  1. Israeli airforce back at it tonight, hitting Iran backed militant groups in Iraq. They did a lot of work against the Iranian air defence network last night, which is exactly what you’d do at the beginning of a longer air campaign. They have an air corridor through Syria and Iraq which can be used to fly close up to Iran and launch stand off munitions, minimizing risk to IAF aircraft. Iran can’t do a thing to prevent this, so their only option to respond is further direct missile and drone  attacks from Iran, activating Hezbollah rocket forces in Lebanon, or terrorist attacks in third locations against Israeli civilians.

    None of that can secure Iranian skies from further strikes, so it’s really a question of how much damage Israel now intends to inflict on the Mullah’s regime, it’s military and proxy forces, and Iranian CNI.

    Because emery got this games tactically incredibly wrong. No options to progress from midfield to the forward line almost all game. Cash completely handicapping half the pitch. Losing his man for the first goal to let him get a free cross. 

    Cash has been awful in fairness. But he’s not alone 

     

    Edit: hahahaha

  3. During a visit to Jerusalem Cameron seems to have conceded that the Israelis are going to respond. The idea they would let it slide is for the birds, it was only the direct intervention of US (and some UK) assets that prevented far more damage on the ground. 

    The Israelis will never be more prepared or (in their estimation) justified in going after Iran’s nuclear programme, the only truly existential threat it faces in the region. 

    We’ll likely find out soon enough which way this is going to develop.
