They obviously are more than ready, and the US ships in the area will also help shoot them down, as that would be a defensive (protective) move on our part.

 

How ready is Iron Beam to deploy and intercept drones with lasers?

This is what I found.  While the bomb can be delivered by a B52 the B2 is the preferred plane.

Its not a contested environment. You could use a dirigible.

It is not a situation that will improve with time.

We just contracted a 400 watt one, fiber optic

Iran is about to find out what Saddam Hussein and the Iraq military discovered.  When USA attacked Iraq it was not the 'War of all Wars' as Hussein said it would be - USA destroyed the bulk of the Iraq military in 2 days. They only took 2 weeks to take over the country, because they did not want to kill too many civilians.  Iran has been supporting terrorism against Israel for decades, and the prospect of them gaining nuclear weapons and their allies using them against Israel was too high.  IMO Israel waited until Eid al-Adha was over, and the expected UN report of Iran non-compliance. 

 

Going forward I think the 'end state' will no longer be Israel compliance with international requests and no more attempts at appeasement or peace settlements.  It will be - 'Leave us alone or we will blow you to Hell'.  And if Iran or its allies attack the USA assets in the Region - they will be blown back to the stone age by a combined USA and Israel 'Armageddon'.  Hiding behind civilians and under hospitals is no longer a strategy that will stop retaliation or annihilation - despite all the protests by the woke liberals in the West.

It is impossible to even conceive that Israel would make a choice like this without the blessing of the US, and it is also impossible to consider the possibility that Trump would be rational enough to say no. 

 

Funny how Trump’s suddenly gone quiet. Not a word about Israel’s strike on Iran—despite likely giving it the nod behind closed doors.
 

So much for the “no war president.” When things get messy, he disappears—then reemerges just in time to blame someone else for the disaster he helped set in motion.
 

His self-imposed two-week deadline for Putin to end the Ukraine war came and went without a peep. And for all the tough talk, he still hasn’t imposed a single sanction.

Trump and MAGA blamed every world conflict under Biden as being caused by Biden

so I assume Trump and MAGA will take credit for this and it fallout?

They never have been compliant with international requests..but now have unconditional support from the world bully and think they can get away with anything.

For some reason Trump went full on MIGA.

Perhaps Elon was right  and Israeli operative Epstein had some incriminating evidence ?

Poor memory or what.

 

We blamed Biden for his clusterbang fleeing from Afghanistan, and for his corruption in Ukraine and general weakness what with his dementia for allowing Putin to invade Ukraine.

 

Meanwhile you lefties blamed Trump for Bidens Afghanistan catastrophe😅

 

So you were 100% wrong.

Not so hard to conceive...  Look up USS Liberty.   

 

Every President since Eisenhower has had that moment where they're cheezed off at Israel doing something without asking.

Closer to the OP, don't forget Trump had Iran on the ropes with frozen accounts and sanctions on them selling oil.  Without oil money, they couldn't afford the shenanigans.  Biden removed those sanctions and those Bidenbucks funded a lot of Iran's mischief.  Both on their own and through the Houthis.

Trump also put sanctions on Russia that Biden removed after he took office.

 

Trump had also started providing arms to Ukraine that Obama had refused to provide. And then when Biden took office, Biden stopped the arms shipments to Ukraine that Trump had started. 

 

The left that aren't morons know all of this, and the leftists that are morons will just call you stupid and whatnot.
