More video is circulating showing the burning Shahran oil refinery. This is located in an outlying suburb of Tehran and the huge plume of flames is visible all over the city.
The Iranians are fighting back as best they can though. Their drone attacks have gone down in quantity but have significantly improved in accuracy. (Perhaps as the result of Russian and Chinese satellite intelligence on the precise location of targets.) The Iranians have been targeting American radars with some success, destroying radars in Kuwait, Qatar and Muwaffaq in Jordan. Drone attacks on Al Salem air base in Kuwait have gotten so bad that the United States evacuated and closed the nearby US Embassy in Kuwait. Meanwhile, an Iranian drone attack has started a large fire in a highrise building in Kuwait city:

Trump lies to reporters about who actually bombed the girl's school in Tehran. Not even Hogsweat would agree with that one.

When Russia in Eastern Ukraine started having greater accuracy and success in their attacks, it turned out they were using Starlink to do so. Starlink was later turned off too them to stop them using it. Its possible that while it's geolocked and now key encoded in Ukraine as a region, that currently Starlink hasn't applied the same to Iran. It's known a number of Starlink systems meant for trying to maintain outside interaction were caught being smuggled during the Iran protests, perhaps they've used them with some of their drones.

Oh look! Mojtaba Khamenei the son of the killed leader is now the new supreme leader of Iran. No regime change whatsoever. It's business as usual. Who knew you can't bomb a country into a democracy?

Is it like Christians being thrown to the lions by the Romans - the Christians thought it was okay (possibly not ideal) because they would be going to heaven?

My guess is that the new supreme leader has been tracked since the war started (or even earlier) and it’s only a matter of time. Haven’t seen a cartoon with Mojtaba wearing a target on his back yet.

Chaos is better than any reconstituted oppression regime.

Haven’t seen a cartoon with Mojtaba wearing a target on his back yet. Even if the Iranian regime is dumb enough to allow another Israeli hack of the traffic system (after the press blabbed it to the world), they'll have decoys next time, just in case. Now that they're actually in a war state rather than one just prior to that, security will be at a super-heightened level. Which may make it rough for even double agents in the country to gain intel. Another approach will have to be found to locate Mojtaba Khamenei. Report: Israel hacked Tehran traffic cameras to track Khamenei ahead of assassination https://www.timesofisrael.com/report-isr...ssination/ INTRO: Israel hacked into Tehran’s extensive traffic camera network in order to track the bodyguards of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top Iranian officials ahead of Saturday’s assassination of the supreme leader, the Financial Times reported on Monday, citing two people familiar with the matter. Iran’s cameras are believed to be part of the state’s surveillance apparatus, allowing authorities to identify and pursue protesters and regime opponents. But the Mossad, Israel’s spy agency, was able to co-opt the network for use against the regime, the report said. The FT said Israel gained access to the cameras years ago, and found that one particular camera was angled in such a way that it showed where members of Khamenei’s security team parked their cars... |
