So the two options are Iranian incompetence or the Israelis again? Could be interesting to find out.

We'll never know for sure who caused it. Iran never admits to mistakes and the Mossad does not gloat.

See? Even in the midst of a horrible evil on the home front, if you dig deep enough there is good news to be found. I dont know who to give the credit to either. Israel is very capable, and having lived among Moslems for two years I can tell you they are technological troglodytes. If there is only one button on a device, and it says on/off, they will beat it with a club till it does something.

Interestingly, Israel is asking for the USA to move the purchase of two KC-46 long range refueling aircraft up to 2021 from the originally planned 2023. Perhaps a long range mission in the planning stages? It's about 1,000 miles from Tel Aviv to Tehran, and most fighters can't go that far and back unrefueled. F-35 official range is about 1,300 miles, and would need refueling on the return leg after a mission to "fix" Tehran's problem. Isreal has 16 F-35 stealth strike-fighter aircraft now, seemingly capable of penetrating Iranian air defenses with relative safety due to extremely low radar and other signatures. By next year, with good tanker support and more F-35s, Israel would be in a position to 'do something' about the Iranian nuclear program, if they decide that it is time. Very likely someone is doing something now and these aren't accidents. Probably getting together lots of intel and targeting data, too. Israel has developed their own smaller 'bunker buster' bombs which can penetrate relatively deeply, many layers of concrete, and rock. Not certain if the will fit inside the bomb bays of F-35, enabling stealth. May have to be external carriage due to size, lose stealth - but conventional aircraft can come in 2nd wave, a couple of minutes behind the F-35s taking out the air defenses so non-stealthy can survive. This is what we did in Iraq, stealth aircraft took down the air defenses, then conventional aircraft did the heavy lifting. If we go in with them, our B-2 carries the MOP, Massive Ordinance Penetrator. Look it up if you care, but basically a giant 30,000 lb deep earth penetrator bomb. Huge; B-2 can only carry two, nothing else stealthy can haul these monsters. F-35s can carry GBU-53B small diam glide bombs, OK for any normal targets, but not for deeply buried ones. I don't think Israel has anything that can haul MOPs, MAYBE one on a F-15, but that seems iffy, weight wise, and clearances are questionable, too. B-52 an carry it, but they are as stealth as a ambulance with lights and sirens, and Israel has none.

It could well be from a USA "Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle" as well. These things have been in advanced development for many years since the appearance of the Predator and Global Hawk recon aircraft. They're now faster, stealthier, carry a lot more munitions, and can be launched from Aircraft Carriers.

Sadly most Iranian citizens are suffering from incompetence of the ruling mullas. The standard of living has dropped precipitately in the last 40 years. Drug addiction, prostitution, and other ills are becoming more common. There are shortages of clean water in many areas. Truly under the Shah - even tho' he caused problems - Iran was advancing to be the most 'Western' country in the M.E. The hard line mullas are wanting to start of war in order to precipitate the Second Coming.

Forgot to state the obvious - these mullas are dangerous beyond belief. They want the nukes in order to use them - not as a deterrence. They are entrenched and will not let go their power. A revolution will be especially bloody.

The word “bribe” has an obvious, legal meaning that, through a few tricks built into the system by the politicians who wrote the laws, helps them avoid breaking them while taking what amounts to bribes.

President Tayyip Erdogan signed a decree on Friday opening Istanbul's Hagia Sophia as a mosque after a Turkish court annulled a 1934 government decree that had turned it into a museum, ruling it was unlawful, paving the way for the building's conversion back into mosque despite international warnings against such a move. Erdogan shared on his Twitter feed a copy of the decree he had signed which said the decision had been taken to hand control of the Ayasofya Mosque, as it is known in Turkish, to the country's religious directorate and reopen it for worship.    Corrections*

The U.N.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi launched a formal impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump on Tuesday, acquiescing to mounting pressure from fellow Democrats and plunging a deeply divided nation into an election year clash between Congress and the commander in chief. The probe centers on whether Trump abused his presidential powers and sought help from a foreign government to undermine Democratic foe Joe Biden and help his own reelection. Pelosi said such actions would mark a “betrayal of his oath of office” and declared: “No one is above the law.”

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters.

But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
