EXTRA EDITION: Israel-Iran War Updates: 100+ Iranian Cruise Missiles Readied for Israel
US piles in more forces. Iranians seize ship in Strait of Hormuz. Russia blows up enormous Ukraine underground gas reserves with deeply penetrating missiles.
This edition is free for all as Iran’s retaliation has started over Israel’s destruction of an embassy annex with diplomatic immunity. Rapid escalation now rests on hair triggers on both sides. The first article contains videos of an intense missile barrage in Israel by Iranian proxy forces. Some say this is just to weaken the Iron Dome system before Iran sends in the heavier stuff. Over a hundred cruise missiles are readied for launch against Israel, though that could just be a visible threat to Israel to keep them from retaliation via a direct attack on Iranian soil for the current missile bombardment from Lebanon and Syria.
