Following Iran's missile barrage, which saw more than 180 rockets launched across Israel, in which no one was injured, the IDF vowed Tuesday night to carry out "powerful airstrikes throughout the Middle East." A defense official promised a "severe response," while another Israeli official warned, "What Iran has suffered so far is only a fraction of what it will face now." A high-ranking government official added, "Israel has full legitimacy for an unprecedented strike on Iranian soil - this is the time to strike at the head of the Iranian snake." read more
Trump said: "They have a phone app so the people can come into our country. These are smart immigrants, I guess, because most people don't have any idea what the hell a phone app is." read more
Trump declared that a photograph of Harris being briefed via phone by the director of FEMA was "fake" and "staged." His reason: "you have to plug the cord into the phone for it to work." Harris was using a cell phone. read more
A high-ranking government official added, "Israel has full legitimacy for an unprecedented strike on Iranian soil - this is the time to strike at the head of the Iranian snake.""When Iran is finally free - and that moment will come a lot sooner than people think - everything will be different," he asserted. "Our two ancient peoples, the Jewish people and the Persian people, will finally be at peace. Our two countries, Israel and Iran, will be at peace."

On a somewhat-related note, it's been interesting for me seeing the realignment of certain individuals I know IRL regarding the present conflict with Muslim terrorists.
People who have nothing but dislike for Muslims. Greeks and Armenians (who have told me before how much they abhor Turks and Muslims), suddenly find themselves favoring Hamas and HezzBawlzOff. This is despite the fact that they insisted in years past how much they wish to see Muslims eliminated for past offenses and the future well-being of their own people.
My take is that they hate Jews more than they hate Muslims, or that China's TikTok pro-terrorist political brainwashing has been highly effective.
Happy birthday Jimmy!
"Former President Jimmy Carter, who has been in hospice care for more than 17 months, has said that he has every intention of voting for Vice President Kamala Harris in the fall, according to his family. Mr. Carter's son Chip asked his father on Wednesday if he was trying to make it to his 100th birthday, according to the former president's grandson Jason.www.nytimes.com August 4, 2024
"I'm trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris," Mr. Carter replied, according to the grandson."
Nothing new, only question is whether American voters will care that he's a crook this go-round.

This was actually a success for Iran. Iran was sending a message. "We have missiles that can get through the Iron Dome and can reach Tel Aviv." They hit only military targets (unlike Israel). But now Israel is reminded that Iran can cause some level of destruction if it chooses. #17 | Posted by Sycophant
Yes, Iran only attacks military targets. Like when they instructed Hamas to attack that "military" music festival on October 7th. "Iran and state-sponsored terrorism" Wikipedia
Anywho, these 180 rockets were about 7% of Iran's estimated stock (3,000) from a year or so ago www.cnn.com. So Iran could definitely get through and hit some Israeli targets if they shot their entire load. Only question is what happens afterwards, since even 10,000 missiles wouldn't eliminate Israel's military response. And that's not taking into account the US, UK, and French response.
