Sounds like the US and Israel are hitting Iranian infrastructure now. Qatar just announced it's spiraling out of control

Iranian people told to stay off trains. Unconfirmed reports that railroads have been hit in the last few hours.

This shits gonna do nothing but turn what Iranian resistance against the regime internally against us. At the very least we are helping the regime suppress the resistance by randomly bombing the crap out of them, which NEVER works. Thousands dead, 10's of thousands injured, mostly just people trying to live. You don't have to be hit by a bomb to be adversely affected. The constant sound and feeling causes widespread PTSD which results in more and more people susceptible to cult religious fanatics whims.

According to this link the US and Israel have already begun. Maybe FatFuck meant 8am not PM. Wouldn't doubt he makes some sick joke about it.

This is what happened in Gaza. Many Palestinians who would have been against Hamas, began to see Hamas as their only defense against Israel.

The vocal and growing opposition in Iran, the protesters that were inspiring change, the ones our country wanted to support, are gone now. The brutal regime of hardliners now has support of even most of the protesters. And Khomenei's son is more brutal than he.

This attack has doomed the people of Iran to generations more of living under an oppressive and totalitarian government.

5. Synagogue in Tehran 'completely destroyed' in US-Israeli attack
Tue Apr 7, 2026, 08:39 AM
Apr 7
United States-Israeli strikes have “completely destroyed” a synagogue in Tehran, according to Iranian media, as the attacks across Iran killed more than a dozen people overnight.

“According to preliminary information, the Rafi-Nia Synagogue … was completely destroyed in this morning’s attacks,” the Shargh newspaper reported on Tuesday.

According to Iran’s semi-official Mehr news agency, the synagogue was destroyed when an adjacent residential building in central Tehran was attacked.

Footage showed civil defence workers amid the rubble, with Hebrew-language books scattered on the ground.

Tehran is about eight hours ahead of Washington, so it's possible tonight's civilization destruction is already underway.

Their time zone: EDT plus 7.5. One time zone for the entire country.

So, their "work day" is over. And their leaders didn't do whatever Trump wanted.

Even after he drops a nuke on Iran, he will turn his attentions to Cuba, Mexico, Norway or Canada. He will kill and destroy until someone removes all his power, authority and control.

The man is crazy and he will continue to murder until he is stopped.

These are civilian targets. This isn't WW2 where tanks are using civilian roads to move to battlefields.

This is Israel's strategy. While the US war crimes Iran's infrastructure, they ethnically cleanse Lebanon south of the Litani River of Shiites and no one pays any attention.

truck bombs blowing up bridges etc.
their attacks will be surprising and causing more fear and damage than our attacks. Theirs will cheap and effective, while we blow all our $.
Not sure about the scale, just sure it will happen.
