Order Jamie Glazov’s new book, ‘United in Hate: The Left’s Romance with Tyranny, Terror, and Hamas’: HERE.
In its second day of bombing, Israel’s military has focused on Tehran, with its Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) command-and-control centers, its anti-missile systems, including the S-400 batteries from Russia that protect the city, the remaining stores of ballistic missiles in the capital, infrastructure targets including roads, bridges, airports, and the barracks where those charged with suppressing the anti-regime demonstrators now live. A tall order, but so far the IDF has proved equal to the task.

Iran first wiped American bases leaving host countries vulnerable if at all America had any iota to defend them.
Then moved into a destruction phase of key host countries installations.
That is meticulous planning and years of… pic.twitter.com/OVyK1074Bg

In less than two days, the Israeli Air Force, in a joint operation with the U.S., dropped more than 1,200 munitions. The first day of strikes targeted 500 locations across 24 Iranian provinces, aiming at military infrastructure, missile facilities, and drone sites.
At least forty of Iran’s senior leaders were killed within “one minute” — they had been attending three meetings that were held close to one another. The supreme leader is dead, along with four members of his family. The leadership of the IRGC has been decimated. Hundreds of Iran’s store of ballistic missiles have been destroyed on the ground, or intercepted in the air.
The Iranians have managed to inflict only a handful of casualties on the Americans or the Israelis. So far, three American servicemen have been killed and five wounded. In Israel eight civilians died in Beit Shemesh, near Tel Aviv, when a ballistic missile made a direct hit on a synagogue where they were sheltering.
By sending volleys of missiles into seven Sunni Arab countries — the UAE, Qatar,Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Oman and Saudi Arabia — and causing damage to infrastructure in all of them, the Iranians have enraged these neighboring countries, turning them into implacable enemies. The Abu Dhabi and Dubai airports in the UAE have both been hit, and are now closed, causing enormous economic damage to the supply chain for goods and to tourism in both emirates. The Dubai airport, the busiest in the world, has now been closed, disrupting air traffic worldwide. In addition, Iran hit a luxury hotel, the Fairmont in Dubai, setting part of it on fire. In Qatar, Iran targeted the Al-Udeid airbase that the Americans use.
In Jordan, Iranian missiles targeted the Muwaffaq al-Salti Air Base in Azraq, a base, that is the American and Jordanian air forces use jointly. Additionally, debris from an intercepted Iranian missile struck a residential home in Amman. In Bahrain, the Iranians hit the naval base where America’s 5th Fleet is stationed, as well as hitting a high-rise apartment building, causing major damage. In Oman, that had been urging the US to return to the negotiations with Iran that had been taking place in the country, Iran showed no mercy; Iranian drones targeted Oman’s Duqm Port. Iran also targeted the Saudi capital of Riyadh and the Eastern Province of the country with both missiles and drones. Saudi Arabia confirmed that it repelled these attacks, which targeted the capital and other areas, calling them “blatant and cowardly,” and vowed it would retaliate.
By its attacks on so many Gulf Arab states, Iran has managed to turn some of them into quiet cheerleaders for the Americans and, even more amazingly, for the Israelis as well.
