TEL AVIV — The U.S. and Israel have launched strikes against Iran with the goal of toppling the regime, President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday.

Iran retaliated by launching missiles at Israel and a U.S. naval base in Bahrain. An Iranian official said all Israeli and U.S. interests in the region were now considered legitimate targets.

I hope everyone enjoys the explosive new prices that result.

    Ever wonder why they do this when everyone in the US is asleep? I mean, except those who work night shift.

    It’s not because “it’s daytime in Iran.” Missiles can see in the dark. It would be strategically viable to attack at night.

    So ask yourself who got kept in the dark?

    For contrast, I think George W Bush invaded Iraq during their night. I remember the scenes of bombs exploding in Baghdad being at night. Meaning it was daytime in the US, or at least not the middle of the night.

    I mean, if it were me, a dictator planning an invasion, I’d get a good night’s sleep, get done really good espresso, then make war wide awake while the country on the other side of the planet is asleep. That would make more strategic sense. I’m in my 40s — Trump is in his 80s. So what’s he doing up that late (assuming he even was)?
