The Peace Of Sunday Was Shattered By Iran

This is normally a day of rest and reflection. Sadly, the peace was shattered by the Iranian attack on Israel in the form of some 300 drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles on Israel. My readers, this was not "a shot across the bow" to deter Israel from further action. It was carefully planned and calculated to overwhelm the Israeli anti-aircraft and anti-missile capabilities to inflict some bad damage on Israel. There was a miscalculation on the part of the Iranian planners. They failed to consider that the U.S., French, and Jordanian anti-aircraft and anti-missile assets came to the defense of Israel. 99% of the projectiles were intercepted. 1% of the projectiles landed near an Israeli air base in Southern Israel where F-35s are based. Limited material damage was done. One seven-year-old child suffered a serious shrapnel wound. She is in critical condition. I hear reports that Iran is threatening to close the Straits of Hormuz. This would cause a devastating disruption of world trade, driving the world into a recession. We are in a perilous moment now. Please be thankful that you are not anywhere near Israel, Iran, Yemen, Ukraine, or Russia now.
