Reagan don't count. He was an outlier for sure. And probably everyone before him in my lifetime except Carter. Even Bill Clinton didn't play around much.In 1988, in response to Iran’s attack on the USS Samuel Roberts, President Ronald Reagan "destroyed half of Iran’s Navy.

Portion of a newsletter I received from Israel today:
The IDF is determined to staunch the threat from the south, because they understand the brutality of the enemy. On October 7, 19 yr old Adir Tahar was brutally murdered when Hamas terrorists fired an anti-tank missile at him, then followed up by throwing three grenades. When Adir’s father, David, read the autopsy report, it showed that his body was severely damaged and that the terrorists had decapitated him and stolen his head. This began a father’s desperate and tragic search for the head of his son, so that he could bury him with at least some dignity. After weeks without a lead, a terrorist under interrogation confessed that he had Adir’s head and had attempted to sell it in Gaza for $10,000. Based on his information, the IDF searched an ice cream shop in Gaza and found Adir’s head in a suitcase stored in the freezer. David was finally able to bury his son intact. It is stories like these that will keep us Israelis fighting until we are sure that all our borders are safe.
Iran’s Conflict with Syria, Iraq, and Pakistan
Iran fired a ballistic missile at the Pakistani headquarters of Jaish al-Adel, an armed Sunni militia, in Pakistan’s Balochistan province near the Iranian border. Pakistan immediately warned of serious consequences to the attack, then proceeded to close its border with Iran while deploying forces into the area. Baluchi militants didn’t wait for the Pakistani government to act against Iran. The group Gish al-Adel on Wednesday shot to death a high-ranking IRGC officer in Balochistan. Also, on Wednesday, Iran launched another air attack into Pakistan, and now Pakistani F-16s are flying around the border. Then, today, the action continued. Pakistan fired a drone and rocket attack against terrorist organizations in southeastern Iran. Not hitting official Iranian targets was a strategic move, letting Tehran know that Islamabad was capable of the same kind of cross-border air attack. Instead of a punch, this was more of a bumping of the chests. Iran, in an act of whatever the Persian version of “chutzpah” is, demanded an explanation for Pakistan’s actions, and immediately ordered military exercises to take place in the area. This is a conflict that must be watched, and, again, it can’t be emphasized enough that this change of philosophy by the Islamic regime in Iran to engage directly rather than through their proxies is a significant step.

An opinion piece from the Jerusalem Post written by a female school teacher. How different from something we would see from one our "educators". Shameful is the first word that comes to mind but unprintable ones soon follow.

Iran has been untouchable for decades for both R and D administrations. The latest round of aggression is just a continuance of killing our troops in the region since we went into Iraq. Physically moving border outposts closer into Iraq, providing tech to their proxy groups, supporting Hezbollah through Turkey, etc. In spite of our successes, our military is not the same as in 90-91 in breadth/depth and in leadership. The cause of inaction is what? Blackmail, unleashing border crossers here, maintaining the stupid Obama Iran agreement? If the ISW map is correct, the Houthis occupy a finite area of Yemen; this should be doable. Yet, we have only one carrier strike group (the Ike). Even for the strike on Libya in the 80s we had two strike groups. We should have kicked out all of the Iranian "students" in 1979 especially those in our service schools. Where are their offspring now? The web we weave...

She's right. We all know it. Israel has been forced to turn the other cheek time and time again. I only hope the Israelis don't bow to the pressure put on them by the UN and the world's muslim apologists.An opinion piece from the Jerusalem Post written by a female school teacher.

If we leveled Iran every muslim country that isn't controlled by terrorists would be grateful.

We have owed the Iranians a Curtis LeMay scale strike since they seized our embassy in 1979. The number of our troops killed and wounded by people trained, equipped, and led by IRGC in Iraq and Afghanistan is enough. Then they financed the Benghazi attack, killing Americans. Add their nuclear aspirations, stated goal to destroy Israel, and other mischief in the region, Iran needs to be checked. Our failure to act decisively against them is a signal of American weakness. Eventually war with Iran is inevitible.

Maybe if we hadn’t messed with their government in the 1950’s, kicking out a moderate (but left-leaning) democratic government and installed a tyrannical monarchy (the Shah) in the name of keeping oil flowing through a British company (BP), none of this would have happened…
To be quite honest, a lot of the mess in the Middle East is directly attributable to the US’s (and other western countries—looking at you, Britain and France) terrible foreign policy there for close to a century….

Nothing we can do to change that now Hans. Just like we aren't giving South Dakota back to the Sioux. That was then and this is now. Iran cannot be allowed to go around the world blowing shite up.

First send in the regular drones and the US shoots them all down then next wave send in the big missiles and most hit the specific targets.

The IRGC announced on January 20 that Israel killed five IRGC “advisors” in an airstrike on Al Mazzah, Damascus, Syria. Among the killed individuals were Brigadier General Sadegh Omid Zadeh, the IRGC Quds Force’s intelligence deputy in Syria, and Omid Zad
A map of the attack on the US base is about 80% the way down.
