Operation Rising Lion (Am KeLavi in Hebrew) will go down as one of the most daring executions to neutralize an enemy whose intention was to carry out a nuclear Holocaust against the Jewish homeland. The full scope of the operation will not be known for some time, but what has been disclosed is that 50 Mossad commando teams successfully attacked Iranian military installations using drones and Spike-anti-tank missiles. An entire drone factory was built inside Iran by the Mossad. The drones were activated overnight, striking surface-to-surface missile launchers aimed at Israel.
In addition, vehicles carrying weapons systems were smuggled into Iran.
These systems took out Iran’s air defenses and gave Israeli planes air supremacy. One IAF pilot mentioned he witnessed an Iranian jet take off from a base and quickly retreat.
The initial phase of the attack involved neutralizing air defense and detection systems in northern Iran and Iraq. Most of the sorties were flown through Syria thanks to the IAF previously dismantling their air defense network, even while Assad was still in charge.
The IAF then struck six military bases in the Tehran area including highly secured compounds where senior military officials lived. 200 fighter jets, including F-15, F-16, and F-35s struck hundreds of targets in the first 24 hours of the operation. The Commander of the Iranian military, the Commander of the IRGC, the head of IRGC’s Aerospace Forces, and the former head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council were all killed, along with dozens of other security officers and scores of senior nuclear scientists. Conventional targets included ballistic missile launch sites. Iran has over 2,000 ballistic missiles and since the start of the war, many have moved around the country, making it harder for Israel to track.
Iran is more than twice the size of Texas, about equal to size as Alaska.
These ballistic missiles are fast, making it harder for the Israel air-defense system to break-apart. That is how six ballistic missiles made it through the Arrow interceptors yesterday and struck six different sites in Israel including Soroka hospital in Be’ersheva. Note the world silence when an actual hospital is attacked in Israel, as opposed to hospitals in Jewish Gaza cosplaying as terrorist headquarters by the Arab occupiers.
In recent days, the headquarters of the state media in Iran have been targeted, the headquarters of the Basij (state paramilitary police), crypto accounts that help fund the regime have been hacked and disabled, the Arak reactor site was just bombed hours ago, and the IAF struck the Internal Security headquarters.
For decades, the international community, particularly the naive West, has been mired in useless (and dangerous) negotiations with the genocidal terrorists of Iran. Obama gave Iran $150 billion to enter the JCPOA (Iran Deal), and Jihad Joe paid Iran $7 billion to release American hostages from Iran, which they failed to do, and in fact, one of the American hostages was executed just last week.
What propelled Israel to act when it did was intelligence that revealed a follow-up October 7th-style genocide and that Iran was going to distribute nuclear weapons to its terrorist proxies. And, of course, the fact that the Iranian regime had accumulated enough uranium enriched to 60% purity to potentially create nine nuclear weapons, if further enriched. This progression could have taken just weeks to reach 90% (weapons grade). In just three months, Iran expanded its stockpile of enriched uranium by 50%, and for the first time in two decades, the not pro-Israel IAEA sounded the alarm that Iran is in gross violation of nuclear nonproliferation obligations.
Many cite the Iranian Revolution in 1979 as the catalyst for Iran to be ruled by terrorists, who not only hate America and Israel, but also torture their own people — thousands have been killed, far more jailed, and harassed beyond measure by the state stassi-like police, the Basij. However, and similar in all the world where Islam takes hold, the roots of today’s evil in Iran stems from the philosemitic Zoroastrians being conquered by Muslim armies in the 7th century AD. Just to note, Christians for nearly 2,000 years were no friends to Jews either (more Jews were killed by Christians than by Muslims) – it took the Holocaust to reform most of the Christian missive towards Jews.
One of the worst things Jews do is conflate the story of Queen Esther with actual historical reality. Persian Zoroastrian society was completely absent of antisemitism, and for those who have been long-time subscribers, know that I often mention the incredible Queen Shushandukht, a Jewish Queen of Persia who married into the Sassanid Court. She founded numerous Jewish communities across Persia, and historians say it is her body that is buried in ‘Queen Esther’s’ tomb in Hamadan, Iran. Not acknowledging actual history hides the fact that for nearly 1,000 years between King Cyrus the Great freeing all slaves from Babylonian – Persia was part of Babylon – captivity in 539 BC, including Jews, Jews in Iran were safe, until Islam swept in. That is when dhimmitude for Jews (and other non-Muslim minorities) began.
And it was not Sunni Islam that emerged in Iran, but Shi’ite, and the more radical form of it (Twelver Shia Islam) that upholds that the descendants of the Prophet Mohammad are not the correct lineage, but that of his son-in-law and cousin. The 12th Imam, Prophet Mahdi (Mahdism), is said to have gone into hiding in 874 AD, and the final prophet is to emerge when ‘justice & equality’ is achieved in the world and that is only achieved when the last drop of blood in Israel falls. That is why the proxies were created and why there is a clock in Felestin (an Ottoman term for Palestine aka Israel) Square counting down to Israel’s prophesied destruction on September 9th, 2040, according to these subhumans. The same area was used as an important trade route during the Achaemenid Empire, connecting the great cities of Susa and Persepolis to the greater Persian landscape.
Within two years of coming into power, the theocratic regime (until the 1979 Revolution, Shia Islam in Iran did not involve itself politically) created Hezbollah in 1981 (before the first Lebanon War in 1982 – many falsely claim Hezbollah arose as a reaction to Israel’s necessary actions in Lebanon, to stop the PLO from using Lebanon as a terror base against Israel). Hezbollah was created as a second IRGC, since Iran is physically too far. Hezbollah was created in the north of Lebanon and on its way down the country to the South, killed everyone in its path to establish dominance. Similarly, we all know that Iran also funds Hamas, the Houthis, and Iraqi Hezbollah.
Just as King Cyrus the Great, the actual Moses to the Judean people, saved the Jews in Persia, so too does Israel and President Trump need to save both the Iranian people and fully dismantle the existential threat to Israel and America. It would have been prudent of both President Trump and PM Netanyahu years ago, during Trump’s first term, to have joined forces to fund and equip the Green Movement in Iran. Perhaps the Jewish genocide 20 months ago would have been averted if the Iranian regime were toppled by then (along with numerous other policies that should have been enacted by Israel against the Arab occupiers in Jewish Gaza). But we are in the current reality with Israel leading the way, showcasing to the entire world the long arm of its strength.
I firmly believe that President Trump will do the right thing to destroy FORDOW, which is embedded deep inside a mountain and highly fortified, but Israel at the end of this long war (Iran, the Arab occupiers in both Jewish Gaza and Judea & Samaria) has to become fully weapons independent, so that never again is Israel needing to ask for help from anyone. What if Jihad Joe would have won this past election or stolen the election like in 2020? I shudder to think the position Israel (and America) would have been in currently.
As bystanders, we can only wish the IAF, Mossad, and the entire IDF to continue pummeling the terrorist infrastructure and leadership in Iran, fully, to assassinate Khamenei, and to not leave until a transitional government headed by Prince Reza Pahlavi is firmly in place. 80% of Iranians are anti-regime and not just with words, but meaningful actions – many women ditching hijabs to protest, numerous Iranians leaving Islam to the point that a senior cleric stated that around 50,000 out of 75,000 mosques closed in recent years. A great number of Iranians are returning to their indigenous-related faith, Zoroastrianism. Therefore, Iran is the opposite of the Arab occupiers in Jewish Gaza and in Judea & Samaria who fully support the ideology of Hamas.
Israelis are the heroes of the world for bearing the consequences of what needs to be done to take out the Nazis of our lifetime.
