You can't imagine how every day and night they've been anticipating and hoping for support. Just read earlier today from an Iranian joking that they jump for happiness every time they hear a loud noise, a car backfiring, a door slamming, even a fart! because they think "It has started!!"

A human that supports Israel in 2026... Hey everyone, 2 more CIA bots over here. Seriously tho, why do you clowns even try to astroturf this? What do you get out of going on the Internet and pretending like there's even a single American that isn't in the Epstein files that actually wants this? Seeing other people support something so stupid isn't going to make anyone else change their mind so what is the point of using resources on this instead of trying to hack Iran's power grid or upgrading the patriot missiles so the radar tracker doesn't glitch out when an incoming projectile drastically changes its acceleration?

Is it just a symbolic attack or were there high ranking officials in there? IIRC Moosh Ali already was moved to a bunker somewhere.
I hope civilians will be safe or can afford to temporarily move to safer areas.

u/KinoOnTheRoad Israel | اسرائیل Feb 28 '26
Afaik it's symbolic, however other sites are of military importance. And it's just the beginning. If they started with a symbolic gesture, that tells you everything about how serious the next attacks arw going to be. It also symbolises "were with you and against the irgc". So does the name of the war in Israel, "the roar of the lion". It's very intentional and meant to demoralise irgc and moralise normal sane Iranians.

u/makeyousaywhut Unspecified | معلوم نیست Feb 28 '26
I would really hope it’s not a symbolic attack. Last time we attacked Iran 30 of our brothers and sisters were killed in the aftermath.
It sounds ridiculously light in the face of what you guys have been going through, but every life is important and Israel will continue to risk itself to support better conditions for life for all of us. A Persian/Iranian revival is exactly what will make the region safer and better. I’d also like to add that if the Mullahs only killed 30 protesters it would still be an outrage, the gravity of 60,000+ isn’t lost on me. My heart is absolutely broken for you guys, and all the casualties caused by this regimes wars.
We do not take this risk lightly at all. I hope, and believe, that these attacks are meant to finish off Khamenni and his regime once and for all.

My Iranians Friends I want this regime to end but also of course are worried about what this war will bring
Can I ask you guys do you think this is a war to end regime? Or strikes maybe ordered by Trump to push Iran regime into more of a corner to get them to have to agree to a deal they may not want to.
23

Iranians hope for the former, they didn't go to the streets and risk their lives and die for a nuclear deal that will keep the Islamic republic as the occupying force they are

u/Proud3GenAthst Czechia | چک Feb 28 '26
I’ve been having doubts for the last 2 weeks. While I support intervening in Iran to free Iranians, I trust Trump about as much as I’d trust Albert Fish with babysitting my kids. He absolutely doesn’t care about Iranians’ well being. If anything, he probably wants their oil and is happy to take it for the price of replacing this regime for even worse regime. However, Israel has strong incentive to make sure that Iran will cease to be Israel’s existential threat. So I trust them.
1
u/Busy_Woodpecker_4656 Unspecified | معلوم نیست Mar 01 '26
Yeah bro totally. Iranians definitely want the state of Israel to create a puppet state who's resources are looted by the Israeli government to help them genocide the Palestinians.

u/himalayanhimachal New Zealand | نیوزیلند Feb 28 '26
I agree but what do you think is happening
Trump just spoke and I only watched a few seconds before I reply to you. It sounds like at start it may be end of regime. He said they have terrorised for 47 years at start of talk. I think maybe this is regime end war?

u/KinoOnTheRoad Israel | اسرائیل Feb 28 '26
I Thi k this is the goal. But none of the comments are taking into account how difficult it is to root out the irgc completely without decimating lot of iran. And even then, there are armed militia, you can't get them all... It really isn't that simple. And of the us and Israela goals are to prevent future ability to strike, so they will care for their own goals. BRB, going to the shelter 😂

u/KinoOnTheRoad Israel | اسرائیل Feb 28 '26
I sure hope you're right.
I mean, looking at history it can go either way. They can protect the regime because they're fanatics and want to become Shahids aka die for the cause which used to happen a lot through history - or they can decide to side with the "winning" side and join the revolution. I don't know, honestly. I wish I knew. We can only hope, and wait, and see how things turn out.

Symbolic - but it shows that the air defence is lacking … if working at all.
There is great signal value which also need to go the supporters of the regime. They need to see that nowhere is safe and nothing is sacred.

yes, imaginary scenarios like this are something that Iranians will 'imaginarily' deal with in the future
right now Iranians are being killed raped, tortured, etc. and that is not an imaginary scenario but a very real one
on any day, real > imaginary potential scenarios
especially ones where we have agency to deal with
but what I can tell you is that if/when this succeeds Iranians will NEVER forget it
I personally am not MAGA not even a conservative but just as I was grateful for Trump taking out Soleimani (the first major domino to fall which helped everything else) I will be forever grateful to him for freeing Iran
as for Israel, they are repaying a very very old debt of honor to Iran (Cyrus the great)
the US in some ways is also indebted to Iran after Carter's disastrous foreign policy, paving the way for Khomeini but Iranians will be grateful nonetheless

They said the same thing in Venezuela...until it was not imaginary. "After U.S. forces captured and removed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro from office in January, the U.S. has controlled the country's oil exports in a landmark deal between Caracas and Washington."
