FYI the BBC are now reporting reports that the Houthis and others are firing missiles at Israel. Not that the BBC is a bastion of truthful reporting, but if both sides are saying it, it adds some weight.

I think this takes us a step closer to a true regional war but global nuclear war (while not impossible) is still not likely at this stage.
They didn't think it would escalate the conflict; they thought they would get away with it and Iran would do nothing. That's partly because it's true that Iran has been saber rattling throughout this conflict. Clearly, however, that was a huge miscalculation by the Israelis. Iran has hard lines Israel didn't see.
Awoo where do you get your news please? You're doing an amazing service here but I'd like to follow live
Breaking: Soviet troops have moved into the north of Iran. President Joe Biden has accused the Soviets of sinking the USS Los Angeles off the coast of Iran.

Oops sorry that's the plot of Threads (1984).

Holy shit 500 is possible?! That's nuts. Doesn't Russia launch like half that at a time?
Hope you enjoyed your nap :)
This is exactly what Russia uses the Gerans for in Ukraine
Russia and Ukraine: drones are the future of warfare
Iran: hold my Qur'an
I think the real question is does Israel have nukes that don't require US approval?
