Katie had the story last night: Israel launched a series of devastating airstrikes against Iran. Not only were its nuclear sites targeted, but also its political and military leadership. Iran was severely crippled last night. We shouldn’t be shocked—Israel is beyond surgical in its strikes, which they’ve likely had planned for years.
Mossad agents and commando teams are reported to have infiltrated Iran several weeks ago, installing precision-guided munitions near surface-to-air missile batteries and constructing explosive drones near cruise and ballistic missile launch sites, all of which were utilized at…

The plans to rob the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism of their nuclear weapons and war-making ambitions has been a near-generation-long undertaking. Mossad had a secret drone base inside Iran, folks. Israel’s intelligence community did well to pinpoint crucial targets. Gideon’s sword truly delivered a death blow to Iran last night. Most of the braintrust leading the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is dead.

Reports that a large number of Iranian air-defense operators abandoned their posts last night, following the initial few waves of strikes by Israel.

On the strikes against IRGC Air Force leadership: Israel tricked the top command of Iran’s air force into a meeting and then kept them there, I’m told by an Israeli security official.

Over 20 senior commanders are believed to have been eliminated by this morning’s strike by the Israeli Air Force on an underground command bunker beneath the Headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) Aerospace Forces.

Both the leader of the Iranian Armed Forces and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were killed during last night’s strikes by Israel, this is beyond militarily crippling for Iran.

So, with that, what about a broader war in the Middle East? You know the Left is going to trot out how Trump is the god of chaos. Well, not so fast. Even CNN isn’t peddling that panic porn for a simple reason: everyone who would be plotting how to retaliate in Iran is dead (Also, no, Ben Rhodes, just no. Log off for a bit):
War is breaking out because Trump pulled out of the Iran Deal and got humiliated by Netanyahu while trying to negotiate his own, and he's gonna have a military parade for his birthday. The weakest strongman.

I’ll be on @CNN this morning at 7:40 and 9:40 discussing Israel’s ongoing military and intelligence operation against Iran.

McGurk, on CNN, says predictions of a wider war are "overheated" because the people who would coordinate Iran's response "are all dead."

Also, suppose you truly believe that Israel blindsided Trump, or that Saudi Arabia is upset that Israel launched these attacks against their primary regional and religious rival. In that case, you haven’t been paying attention. The Kingdon’s statement was theater, much like Sen. Alex Padilla’s (D-CA) now-buried antics at Kristi Noem’s presser yesterday.
Axios is reporting that Netanyahu and Trump pulled off a great deception as part of Israel’s preparation to strike Iran. If true, this would go down in history books. pic.twitter.com/R4L5azriC8
