BREAKING: Iran Missile STRIKES Israeli Hospital; IDF Hits Iran Nuclear, ...


We're now one week into the conflict between Israel and Iran and Israel pretty much has what in the West is known as "Air Dominance" meaning the IDF Air Force can operate at-will anywhere over western and central Iran (I didn't include Eastern Iran principally because Iran has enough problems already btwn. them and Pakistan concerning Balochistan terrorists Pakistan has long-accused Iran of supporting).

Meanwhile all eyes continue to watch Whiteman AFB in western Missouri for flights of B-2 Spirit stealth bombers; these are the only ones with the ordnance capable of striking Iran's Fordow underground nuclear facility, weapons the Israelis do not have at present. Reports are the bombers are on what back in the Cold War would've been akin to a cocked pistol situation, needing only a Go order from Washington to be on their way. It is a 30-hour round trip to and from Fordow from Whiteman and would require multiple refuelings' - hence last week's deployment of refueling aircraft to Europe and the Mediterranean.
