We should not downplay the significance of today's attack against Iran, but we should also not blow it out of proportion, or allow ourselves to be deluded or distracted by the spectacle of the strikes or the Iranian response when it comes.
Israel announced that 330 missiles and 100 UAVs were expended in the attack. For comparison, this is equivalent to a typical Russian combined group missile strike against Ukraine, of which there have already been hundreds. Iran's military is not going to disappear in a little puff of smoke (which is what Israel's "Rising Lion" operation amounts to in relative terms).
Israel and its allies are seeking the spectacle of escalation with Iran in order to divert public attention from their own ongoing disasters. The collective West wants people to forget its failed proxy war against Russia, as well as increasing domestic and economic instability, and the Israeli leadership wants to silence anti-genocide voices within Israeli society and abroad, which have increased to being an existential threat to the whole Zionist colonial project.
The above hinges on the colonialist/imperialist bet that Iran's retaliation will be tempered by the Iranian leadership's limited appetite for escalation. If the imperialist gamble is on the mark, then we can expect to be treated to the latest episode of the "True Promise" missile show, featuring dramatic footage of Iron Dome rockets making curly loops in the sky over Tel Aviv, while Iranian Kheibar Shekan hypersonic warheads whizz down to impact distant targets outside inhabited areas.
If the bet is a miscalculation and the Islamic Republic has been pushed too far, then role-playing time is over, and all bets are off.
Are you not entertained?

Netanyahu’s justification for going to war with Iran is eerily similar, if not identical, to George W. Bush’s justification for going to war against Saddam 22 years earlier.

Added clip from FOX:
President Trump told Bret Baier that he was aware of the strikes beforehand.
“Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb and we are hoping to get back to the negotiating table. We will see. There are several people in leadership that will not be coming back,” Trump said.
An Israeli missile hits the Iranian Sevom Khordad air defense system.
This air defense system is a modernization of the Raad SAM system and carries three surface-to-air missiles. Depending on the type of missile, according to Iranian statements, the Sevom Khordad is capable of hitting targets at distances of 75, 105 and even up to 200 km.

‼️⚡️ Paratroopers of the "North" group of troops broke the enemy's stubborn resistance and liberated the settlement of Yablonovka in the traditionally Russian Sumy region
Initially, our soldiers were confronted by the 41st and 156th mechanized brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine , whose personnel were ground down by units of the Severyan Airborne Forces.
The enemy's attempts to stabilize the situation with separate groups of the 132nd separate battalion , as well as the 80th, 82nd and 95th separate assault brigades were also unsuccessful - the Fearless destroyed the enemy stormtroopers.
The enemy is building its next defensive lines in the vicinity of the village of Khrapovshchina , which is located even further south than Yunakovka.

@Slavyangrad
Trump told the Israelis the US won't be directly involved in any Israeli military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, two US sources and an Israeli source familiar with those discussions tell Axios
The WH has informed Israel that would be a solo mission, not a joint operation, at least in terms of bombing and other offensive kinetic activity.
The sources did not say whether the U.S. would provide assistance in terms of intel, logistics, or aerial refueling.
The US would help Israel defend itself from Iranian retaliation.
While Israel could cause significant damage to Iran's nuclear program, damage would be more limited than one involving US participation.
Israel's AF doesn't have bombers that can carry the massive bunker buster bombs that would likely be needed.
Israel would likely attempt to repeatedly strike the same targets over the course of multiple days in order to damage Iran's underground sites. Analysts are divided on the likelihood of success
