I suspect that there were standing orders to go scorched earth if shit hit the fan and the leadership couldn't be contacted, and lo and behold the leadership all got blown up, so whatever grunt they had sitting at the big button pushed it. I doubt this behavior was actively ordered by whoever is left alive there, because even to a retard it doesn't make sense to spend drones and missiles on randos instead of focusing on the countries that actually attacked them.

His news isn't much different from what we do here. We'll trawl xitter and youtube and aggregate his findings, though for him it's a video stream and for us it's text posts. He's only as good as his sources (which generally tend to be pretty good), but it's also in his name. He at least tries to be agenda-free, gathering news and showing it for information's sake. I'd much rather get my news from him than Fox or CNN.
He also thankfully hasn't fallen into the trap of inserting too much of himself into the news

I know leftists don't care and will still cry about their big daddy islamic republic because of muh 6 gorillian starved palestinian infants (Iran is not uninvolved in that conflict escalating time and time again) but brown on brown violence is the middle eastern way of life

I really really hope the remaining Iran leaders are losing their shit and go all out on the strikes. These measly strikes raise the question on whether they can actually field anything substantial of course.
But why leave anything for your would be replacements? Send it all!

If I remember correctly, the Israelis were not involved in the Gulf war because Bush wanted to ensure the Arabs would get on board with desert Storm. And he had to promise the Israelis something. I forgot what it was in exchange for not flipping the hell out when the scuds were launched. I do know the Israelis at the time were very worried about wmds so they issued everyone gas masks.
So the thought process, at least the way I can see it is that if Iran hits enough Arab civilian targets they are going to go to the United States and tell the United States to stop bombing, Iran. I think this is because they have been able to hold off the inevitable attack that we're seeing by claiming that they're just going to bomb the Middle East. And as a result this has led all the Gulf States to tell the United States to calm the fuck down. Not Bomb iran and tell Israel not to bomb iran.
The problem is that the 12-day war removed this belief from the equation. Remember the Iranians struck Israel first, because the Israelis killed a member of the irgc in a building next to their concile, in I think Yemen.

It's worth taking note of just how fast technology has changed war, and how rapidly first rate powers have outpaced second or third rate powers compared to even a few decades ago.
Where we were.
Think back to what was widely described as the first "technological" or "smart" war - the Gulf War. That was over 30 years ago now. While most of the fighting came in the form of overwhelming airpower, it looked quite different to this, still involved large ground forces, and took 5 weeks from when Desert Storm began. It also did not end in the elimination of the Iraqi regime, only their expulsion from Kuwait. This was a swift, brutally decisive war in which technology gave the allies an insurmountable advantage and very few casualties.
Then came the 2003 Iraq War. Putting aside the subsequent occupation and nation-building phase - which was a bit of a nightmare - the actual conquest of the Iraqi state was swift. 3 weeks and the entire Iraqi military was defeated and the whole country under coalition control. It took a few more months to find and capture Saddam. Like with the Gulf War, the military build-up took months and most of the fighting was conventional, but the result was decisive with minimal casualties. The technology gap had widened.
Where we are now.
Fast forward to today. The US is able to cripple Venezuela's air defences and arrest their president in one morning with no losses. The US and Israel were able to completely buck-break Iran in a 12 Day War, and now this year, cripple the country's defences and eliminate its leadership on the first day of strikes without any boots on the ground (excluding special forces, almost certainly). Again, with as far as we know, no losses. Maybe a drone shot down here, a radar dome lit up there. No dead. The tech gap is wider than the Pacific by now.
Technology has allowed first rate powers to know who is where, what is where, when they will be where they are, for how long, under what circumstances, at all times. It has also given the tools to get 1000lbs of death to said targets at minimal cost and with minimal chance of being intercepted in just days of planning. The second and third rate powers do not have this. They have some shiny new toys, like kamikaze drones, but they can only dream of the kind of intelligence gathering and target liquidation capabilities that the US is demonstrating.
Just look at Russia. Their invasion of Ukraine was very... 20th century. Lots of men, lots of metal. Not so much in the way of eyes and ears, or crippling airpower. That was not simply out of arrogance, it was because Russia literally cannot do what America can do. No second rate power can. They do not have the tools for shock and awe warfare. Iran, despite being so mountainous and having almost 100 million people and a more developed economy, appears to be even weaker than Iraq in 2003 was, when it was a flat desert of only 20 million people.
What this means.
The technological capability gap has widened SO much. A third rate power can barely even be considered a sovereign entity in the 21st century. China needs to take note. They are being called a superpower, but I seriously question if they could stand firm in the face of this, let alone replicate it. Russia is evidently in a severely lower category of military power. As for countries like Iran or Venezuela - you're not real nations at all. You exist at the pleasure of the US, and it reserves the right to give you a swirlie at will.
For a country to be truly sovereign today, it has to either have nuclear weapons, or be too big for America to want to deal with. Besides that, you are allies or targets. Not unequivocally "free" states. And despite what the BRICoids keep coping, American decline is not real. The US is stronger today, relative to its enemies, than it has ever been. It can do more, do it faster and do it with less, than it ever could. Russia still relies on weapon systems from the 70's and 80's to do its heavy lifting and China has at best caught up to where the US was 20 years ago.
I should be clear, that this difference in power does not give the US a moral license to do whatever it wants. But it does give it the means to do so. Other countries who misbehave need to start playing ball and find a sustainable place in a world where US hegemony is increasing, not declining.
