Will Iran regime fall, or just another umpteenth fail of protesters? (rerun hobbies)

A series of massive explosions shook Tehran this morning. A local resident says, ""There were 4 terrifying bombs, worse than ever before. The sky was perfectly clear, but now you can’t see a thing (zero visibility). I went onto the roof and in just 10 seconds my entire body was covered in white [dust/ash]"

No word yet on what was hit, but just from the amount of material thrown into the air, I'd guess that these were large penetrator bombs (probably American made) meant to root out underground bunkers where the remaining leadership may be operating. Hopefully collateral damage wasn't too great, but probably a lot of people in the general area were killed as well. I'm guessing that this was the Israelis' work, since they are most interested in killing the Iranian leadership in Tehran, while the US concentrates on the nuclear sites, military units and missile and drone industries all over the country.

Meanwhile, fuel storage at Kuwait's international airport was targeted by Iranian drones and a fire is burning.

A large fire is burning in Bahrain as well, reportedly in an industrial area.

The WSJ is also reporting that the United Arab Emirates is lobbying for the 'island strategy' that I outlined in an earlier post, in which the US seizes islands near the Strait of Hormuz ... that just coincidentally I'm sure, the UAE claims.

Something might be happening: President Trump is set to address the nation tonight at 9PM "to provide an important update on Iran".

But from his remarks today, it isn't clear that President Trump wants to commit American ground troops to open a waterway that's of greatest economic importance to Asia and to a lesser extent Europe.
