Well, looks like the cease fire is over with violations on both sides and like usual, blaming the other side.

I am grateful there was no civilization scale attack on infrastructure.

One thing I learned today is that Iran considers Lebanon parts of its territory.

I don’t know that they do, I think it’s like how America looks at Israel possibly.
I mean… none of us know the exact “cease fire agreement” but Iran included that in their public one. When both countries release different agreements… it’s hard to believe there actually is an agreement.

A part of the war that has hardly been noticed in the US press is that Israel destroyed a synagogue in Tehran.

United States-Israeli strikes have “completely destroyed” a synagogue in Tehran, according to Iranian media, as the attacks across Iran killed more than a dozen people overnight.

“According to preliminary information, the Rafi-Nia Synagogue was completely destroyed in this morning’s attacks,” the Shargh newspaper reported on Tuesday.

[...]
If any other nation had done this, they would be branded as "antisemitic".

#1, was it a deliberate attack?

#2, is Iranian media remotely trustworthy? These are the same people who claimed to have sunk the Abraham Lincoln.

Aljazeera isn't a trustworthy source and Iranian media is even less credible-that's just plain common sense. Not only does Iranian media claim to have sunk the Lincoln but it also covered up the massacre and torture of 30,000+ of the citizens who were protesting the Iranian regime.

Interesting. The NATO secretary general is praising Trump’s war on Iran, saying it has made the world safer. I wonder if this represents flattery in order to appease Trump and tone down his threats to leave NATO, or if he actually believes it.

In the meantime...
Hegseth: God deserves all the glory. Tens of thousands of strikes carried out under the protection of divine providence. A massive effort with miraculous protection. God is good.
Glad to see Christ and God are at the center of it all. In my view this is probably the worst form of idolatry. And yet, it finds itching ears across Christendom in America...The God is literally the God of War, Mars I believe is his name.

Or Ares, depending if you’re Greek or Roman.
