Taking a quick look around online this morning, the most illuminating piece I can find on last night’s strike on the Syrian army base in Hama is Avi Issacharoff’s analytical Times of Israel column “Resonant Syria strike suggests coordinated US-Israel message to Russia and Iran.” Here is the opening of Isacharoff’s analysis:

Hours after a mysterious “earthquake” — 2. 6 on the Richter scale — registered on the devices of the European Mediterranean Seismological Center, the circumstances behind the series of explosions that shook Syria overnight Sunday-Monday are starting to become clear.

Indeed, one newspaper associated with the Assad regime, Tishreen, has even claimed that the attack was carried out by US and UK forces using ballistic missiles fired from Jordan.  This report would appear to be somewhat improbable.....


Improbable, but not impossible.  A decade ago, the Pentagon was studying use of conventional Trident SLBMs to attack hardened targets. However, this claim is just a Syrian fantasy, ginned up to feed propaganda to their people.


I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

They have excellent intelligence. Yes, it wouldn't surprise me if US/Israeli intelligence got a hold of what is actually going on. Just the way, they can figure it out with North Korea.

Israel has everything well-documented.

Project Amad. Secret nuclear program to create nuclear weapons.

This just flat amazes me.  We knew this.  Before, during and after the "deal".  The idea that so many, who are even more in the know than we lowly forum-dwellers are, are just now finding out that the Iranians cheated, cheat and will cheat, is really pi$$ing me off. How dare they act like this is some big revelation, and they are astonished, etc.?   9999hair out0000

Suspected Israeli 'earthquake-level' Syria strike kills mostly Iranians
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/04/30/suspected-israeli-earthquake-level-syria-strike-kills-mostly-iranians.html

Suspected Israeli missile strikes shook Syria on Sunday with enough force to register as an earthquake, as blasts targeted two Iran-linked military bases and left nearly 30 pro-government fighters dead.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the late Sunday night attack appears to have been carried out by Israel to destroy an arms depot for surface-to-surface missiles at a base in northern Syria near Aleppo, known as Brigade 47. The Observatory said those killed were mostly Iranians, while four Syrians were also among the casualties....
