U.S., Israel Strike Iran: Live Updates – WSJ

It will take a few days to gain a clear picture.

I expect a ‘limited’ attack until Iran starts to hit back – which it will. Then we are likely to see a full fledged U.S./Israeli air offensive. From thereon things will get murky.

Now would be a perfect time to take out Zelensky and his British special services guard detail.

the result will not be victory of Zionism, but the annihilation of the Zionist entity.

Netanyahu: “My brothers and sisters, citizens of Israel, a short while ago we, Israel and the United States, launched an operation to eliminate the existential threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran. I thank our great friend, President Donald Trump, for his historic leadership. For 47 years, the Ayatollah regime has chanted the slogans ‘Death to Israel,’ ‘Death to America.’ It has spilled our blood, killed many Americans, and massacred its own people. We must not allow this bloodthirsty terrorist regime to be equipped with nuclear weapons that would enable it to threaten all humanity. I ask you, citizens of Israel, to listen to the instructions of the Home Front Command. In the coming days, during Operation ‘Lion’s Roar,’ we will all need patience and resilience. We stand together, we fight together, and we will ensure the survival of Israel together.”

One hour after the U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran, Tehran struck back at Israel and American military assets across Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE, Kuwait, and Jordan.
 
This opening move exposes a grave strategic miscalculation by Washington and Tel Aviv, one whose regional fallout is only beginning. Iran’s swift retaliation shows that it was not caught off guard, unlike in previous confrontations such as the 12‑Day War.
 
 
Washington and Tel Aviv clearly could not deceive or outmaneuver Iran, which retained full strategic initiative in choosing the timing and scope of its response. Iran’s leadership has signaled that this confrontation is likely to be protracted rather than brief, indicating that Washington may now be drawn into a long, complex conflict that will be far more difficult to exit than anticipated, effectively placing the United States in a trap with deep regional consequences.

Wow, even if the generals talk sense into Trump and back him away is this the first time US and Israel forces have directly acted together in a military mission? During the first Gulf War supposedly the Israelis wanted to join in but the Americans were adamant they think about the optics of that. The US can’t be seen to be Israel’s tool or any major military action it takes be seen as an act for Israeli and not American interests. (Even the attacks on the Houthis could be said to be about the shipping lanes as Israel) The neocon agenda had to be concealed. Indeed during the subsequent Iraq war after the neocon coup after 9/11 we didn’t even hear the idea mooted despite all the “coalition of the willing” talk. They understood by then. 
This is the first time I can remember (Please correct me if I’m wrong) that this taboo has been broken with the US and Israel (And only the US and Israel, though the UK no doubt is actively involved just choosing to make it deniable) acting in concert to attack an enemy of Israel for no other purpose than Israeli interests. We keep breaking taboos the Israel lobby had set up to keep themselves concealed or immune from notice but this was the big one.

Iranian missile strikes are so fast the explosion debris is seen a split second before the sound is captured.
Posted by: Arch Bungle | Feb 28 2026 9:25 utc | 93

How far is the camera away from the explosion?
Speed of sound is 342 m/s
speed of light is 300.000 km/s
obviously the visual will be instant while sound takes a while.

Imagine a Greater Israel hegemon in the Middle East. When France “lost” Algeria it lost imperial autonomy, hence its redirection towards a French-led EU. But Greater Israel, aka Texas in the Middle East, with US-Israelis coming and going, promises to fascify European politics effect in perpetuity.

‘Israeli interests’ always were anglosaxon imperial interests but the elites want you all to be delusional about it. Thus most of you still are in denial about modern zionism being a purely British creation without any prior request by influential jews. In order to hide the truth the elites always remind you about the later phase when the jews had been coopted. And actually scared into compliance. But that latter aspect of the Jack ripper drama is not officially confirmed.

Bahrainis celebrate Iranian missile strikes against U.S. bases on their soil
Posted by: Apollyon | Feb 28 2026 10:19 utc | 160
 
They must be happy because there is zero damage for US.  All bases in the entire region are empty since at least a month ago. No soldiers, no weapons, nothing. All destroyed tents and toilets will be rebuilt by the host country, US won’t pay anything.  I see Iran is doing a copy/paste of Russia’s actions but instead of shooting artillery at empty fields for four years, they shoot missiles at empty bases but they take all strikes on their own territory with zero defenses, also like Russia.

Iran is reportedly now targeting US intelligence gathering centers in the Middle East, i.e. blinding them. In some videos you can see a very tall antenna mast in some of the strike sites.

Strikes near Abu Dhabi airport. Zayed Int. (AVH)
Al Dhafra air base is not too far away, but slightly closer (as the crow flies) is Al Bateen (AZI)
Bateen is a strange one, quite private,  repartition etc.

I had an epiphany last night.
 
 
The history of the planet for the past hundred years suddenly makes a lot of sense when you realise that WWII was a struggle for who would rule the world as an economic slave-colony, the German nazi or the zionist jew.
 
Today’s events show that this is true.

From Al Jazeera,10:32 GMT, February 28, 2026

Saudi Arabia condemns attacks on Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and Kuwait
Saudi Arabia has condemned in the “strongest terms” the Iranian attacks on the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and Kuwait.
Saudi Arabia warned of “dire consequence” over the continued violation of “state sovereignty and the principles of international law”.

 
From Al Jazeera, quoting Fars news agency, 09:44 GMT, February 28, 2026

Iran confirms targeted sites in Gulf region
According to the Fars news agency, Iran has targeted:
Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar
Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait
Al-Dhafra Air Base in the UAE
The fifth US base in Bahrain

 
From Rania Khalek,

Explosions reported in Bahrain, Abu Dhabi and Qatar, which all host US military assets.
The Iranians are retaliating.
The U.S. has just ignited a totally unecessary regional war.

 
The Department of War has achieved its objective: more wars with more nations than ever before. I’m not shedding a tear for nations that willingly host American bases, but it is an objective fact that American actions have spread the flames of war.
 
Incidentally, it seems like the American Department of War is out in full force on MoA, pushing back hard against the simple fact that this war against Iran was initiated by America. These American agents will throw all kinds of theories out there—the British, Khazarians, Zionists, Anglo-Saxons, Jews etc —anything but the idea that Americans bear the primary responsibility for this war.
 
The purpose is twofold.
 
The first is to drown out those pointing out America as the perpetrator in alternative media spaces. Can’t consider a possibility you’ve never heard of in the first place.
 
The second is to offer the widest possible alternatives to the simplest explanation (America is knowingly choosing war with Iran) because at least one of these poorly constructed explanations will eventually stick. You don’t believe it was the Anglo-Saxons? Well, maybe it was the Jews? Not Jews? Maybe Khazarians? Moon people? Reptilians?
 
Even if you don’t end up believing in any of the Americans’ fake explanations, you will waste your time considering all these different possibilities instead of directing your attention against America.
 
Better to divide the attention of the rest of the world so that they will exhaust themselves fighting America’s proxies instead of fighting America itself, leaving them (both the proxies and the targets) exhausted and easy to conquer.
 
Wiping Israel off the map won’t end the threat to Iran’s existence. Syria’s al-Julani or some other radical Islamists would be more than happy to offer themselves as missile shields and footsoldiers for America’s imperial project to make the whole world its dominion. America could use compradors to bring down Iran from within, like what Trump’s speech today is attempting to do by inciting the locals to take down the government, or like what America tried to do in 1953 coup with the Shah.
 
Iran and Iranians will only be safe when America is gone.

Well I guess it’s just a certain number of incoming before usa Israel run out of interceptors at the many bases. Some seem to say they shot down all while others clearly show hits so air defence was very patchy at military sites. It will be seen how an air campaign goes after the pentagon already has been leaked that they can only operate 7-10 days before withdrawing . Today is just the opening volleys,  They do have the latest C-Ram Gatling guns that don’t shoot a thing down but at least they look cool

The Jack Ripper events in 1888 constituted a masonic death threat against the Rothschild clan in order to discourage their continued collaboration with Germany like they did from 1858. British Masons were involved allright and the same Brittons were also instrumental in bringing about the Israel project. From the mid 1890s the jews seemed to be more coopted but it wasnt until later in 1907  that they were finally threatened away from investing in Russia. The world wars nazism and zionism were directed against having Britains bankers in bed with Britains rivals. Israel is meant to give a hold on the bankers so they need protection. For that purpose Britain wanted Israel to have 4M people. The whole Israel project is a protection racket. If that option wasnt available it is doubtful that Britain would have continued delegated finances to the jews.

Under estimating Iranian intelligence, they aren’t hitting buildings, but rather ground based AN/TPY-2 radars and surveillance assets with precision.
