Rubio spouting BS, suggesting they didn't start this conflict.

If this doesn't disappear behind a paywall, this is extraordinary reporting of the intelligence and military operation that killed Khamenei - years in the making - which included hacking about 50% of Tehran's traffic cameras.

The capabilities were part of a years-long intelligence campaign that helped pave the way for the ayatollah’s assassination. This source of real-time data — one of hundreds of different streams of intelligence — was not the only way Israel and the CIA were able to determine exactly what time 86-year-old Khamenei would be in his offices this fateful Saturday morning and who would be joining him.

Nor was the fact that Israel was also able to disrupt single components of roughly a dozen or so mobile phone towers near Pasteur Street, making the phones seem as if they were busy when called and stopping Khamenei’s protection detail from receiving possible warnings.

Long before the bombs fell, “we knew Tehran like we know Jerusalem”, said one current Israeli intelligence official. “And when you know [a place] as well as you know the street you grew up on, you notice a single thing that’s out of place.”

Starmer’s caution to stay within international law and learn lessons from Iraq means he getting it from both sides, Tories and Refuk for not giving full support to US, and then the left and Lib Dems for getting involved and not standing up to Trump.

He must be doing something right.

Israel have pulled off some pretty amazing stuff recently.
The mobile phone battery explosions in Lebanon was very impressive too.

Priorities. NBC News gets to the heart of it.

In contrast, NBC haven't had an item on the 100+ schoolgirls killed by an Israeli missile attack. It's no wonder Americans seem to be bewildered and/or ignorant.

They had one 2 days ago. Still on the website.

You keep harping on about these 100+ kids. Yet you weren't so outraged by the 35,000 citizens murdered by the Islamic regime.

Obviously USA and Israel did not intentionally target the school. There is no evidence yet they were responsible for these deaths.

You have severe Trump Deranged Syndrome

It’s almost like Iran were expecting this and had planned their retaliation better than the US planned their military strategy. Who’d have thought?

The problem with your premise is the assumption of US military strategy.
What is their end game?

To do whatever Israel tells them?

There is no US endgame as there is no US objective

Remove a murderous, terrorist backing government.

Help re establish a normal government(doesn't murder 35000 of its own citizens, becuse they complain of the horrific treatment)with sane leadership, who will develop international relations with most countries around the world

You need boots on the ground to have any hope of achieving that, and even then it is not likely to go they way you want as we have surely learnt over the last 20 years.
