They are not far off apparently, they may have a very limited capacity now or within a few weeks, so I read; might depend on the damage done over night.
Israel, not Iran.

Looks like Iranian radars have been getting hit last night.

Are you saying Israel bombed Iran again?

I find that a bit bizarre.
Maybe, and hopefully, Iran is trying to de-escalate. Maybe they're concerned that they've kicked a hornets nest and don't want this to go any further.

Either way I hope both sides will now step back and cease direct military action against either other. (I'm expecting the "proxy" conflict to continue as "normal")
But this is the Middle East and religious nutters and political hard-liners are involved so who knows.......
So many mixed reports but some are saying there were drone attacks but the interesting thing is apparently the drones were launched from within Iran ,this would be beyond embarrassing for the mullahs hence possibly why the denials .

Again?
They didn't bomb then the day before, so no reason for them not to continue there campaign of not bombing Iran

Nothing there suggesting fresh attacks on Iran. I don't have a NY Times account though so can't read that one.

Can't imagine there will be a lot of detail
It's in no ones interest to confirm any such attacks
Exception maybe for arms suppliers, especially those specialising in missile defense systems.

Iran, Israel have had nukes for a while now I believe.

Israel seems to have taken out the air defences to the nuclear facility, so why did they not hit the nuclear facility?

Also why do they not take out the drone factories?

I think they made their point- we can target and hit you with impunity etc..

You are getting muddled up. Liv asked if Israel has nukes and you replied "They are not far off..." which is incorrect. Israel has nukes and it is Iran who are not far off.

I assume Israel did not hit the nuclear facility in order to avoid a massive escalation. Drone factories would have caused an escalation too. I would imagine that Israel was under US pressure to avoid escalation.

They blew up a SAM radar, presumably without the SAM radar knowing it was being targeted. When the technological overmatch is at that point it's not necessary to level a city to make a point.
