As we hopefully enjoy a relaxing Saturday here in the United States, our Air Force and Navy pilots, along with the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), have been actively engaged in dismantling the theocratic regime in Iran. They are tackling this challenge with a strategic use of high explosives, showing that the USA and Israel are making it clear to the mullahs that President Trump wasn’t joking when he promised, just a day earlier, to strike them even harder:
Missiles rained on Iran Saturday after President Trump warned that the nation could face “complete destruction and certain death.”
The US and Israeli strikes centered on Tehran’s regime targets, such as military capabilities, leadership and nuclear program, as well as the sprawling Mehrabad International Airport.
Footage shared on social media captured a massive fireball and plumes of black smoke billowing from the airport, which housed the headquarters for Iran’s national carrier.
Is this the big hit President Trump promised? It sure looks like a lot of loyalists to the (now-defunct) regime are probably rethinking their stubbornness:
An Israeli attack destroyed 16 Iranian military aircraft that were being used by the Quds Force – the elite wing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — to send weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon, the IDF said.
The IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps) was using the airport as a “central hub for arming and funding” Iran’s proxies in the Middle East, the IDF claimed, adding that it also targeted several Iranian fighter jets.
Trump promised early Saturday that “Iran will be hit very hard,” and that the US was seeking new military targets to pressure the nation into submission.
“Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Meanwhile, Iran is continuing to fire ordnance at their neighbors despite their sorta, kind of apology:
Iran retaliated with its own series of strikes on neighboring nations — despite an apology issued by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian for the ongoing attacks, suggesting Tehran’s political leadership could not exercise full command over the armed forces.
It’s important to pay attention to the last sentence: what’s left of the political and religious leadership in Tehran may no longer have control over the remaining military capabilities of Iran. This situation could lead to either positive or negative outcomes. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) oversees Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal, and they’ve been taking significant hits from both American and Israeli airstrikes; it wouldn’t be surprising if they were feeling quite frustrated about that. However, every missile they launch and every drone they deploy means one less in their inventory. On the other hand, the United States has ramped up munitions production significantly, something our industry has historically excelled at.
This could signal a regime on the verge of collapse, or perhaps it indicates that the IRGC is determined to stand firm and fight to the bitter end, which, frankly, aligns with their death-cult ideology.
The New York Post also released compelling before-and-after satellite images that clearly illustrate how these issues have been addressed, once again, through the effective use of high explosives.
It’s been a rough, rough weekend for the regime in Iran—or what remains of it. If whoever remains in charge still wants to ‘fight to the death,’ Trump seems willing to oblige them.
