New theory: Iran’s air defenses are still intact, somewhat, and most strikes by Israel have been missiles launched from Iraqi airspace or drones smuggled into Iran and then launched. Helps explain why there’s a gaping lack of intelligence of what happened to the nuclear sites in Iran allegedly destroyed by the US

I don't find this theory very compelling.

F16s were flying over Mashhad. 

You not having intelligence doesn't mean there's a lack of intelligence.

It means that the tools we use to do battle damage assessment (satellites, drones, high altitude blimps) are highly classified, and we generally don't release that data to satisfy people's curiosity, however reasonable.

It's definitely possible Trump overstated damage to the sites, but it's pretty clear Iran's air defenses are decimated.

say hello to the end, dictator!

i’m in tehran, the sky is full of israeli fighter jets, there’s no defense at all, the terrorist regime of iran has almost completely shut down the internet, ( with the most advanced vpns, i can only open farcaster and reddit for a few minutes, even my email doesn’t work )

they’ve cut off international tv broadcasts, not a single warning is issued before the attacks on tehran, we have no shelters, the sound of explosions and the smell of smoke are everywhere, the noise is terrifying and constant, i’m hiding in the storage room of our building, the entire complex is empty, i have no idea what exactly is happening, i just know i’m in the middle of a war

meanwhile, ali khamenei, the terrorist leader of iran, is hiding dozens of meters underground like a rat, along with his inner circle, out of fear

we are not afraid of bombs and missiles, we are afraid of this regime

the world needs to know what filthy monsters they really are…

I dunno. They seem to be knocking drones out of the sky. I think initially the Israelis were able to go in unencumbered, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. I don’t think their air defenses were decimated, in short, though certainly they have taken some hits
