 Over the weekend there was a drone attack on an Iranian military facility, an interesting military facility, in that this military facility is right in the smack of the center of I think a big city in Iran, Isfahan. Isfahan I think has about two million people in it. It's a big city, right smack in the middle of the city is a military facility. It's a facility that supposedly is responsible for both research and development and building of missiles, missiles for the Iranian military. These are missiles that potentially could be targeted at Israel. Glenn, thank you, really appreciate the support. Could be, that's $100 from Glenn. It could be targeted at Israel, but these are some missiles that there is some talk about the fact that these missiles might be sold or given to the Russians with regard to the war in Ukraine. The attack is almost certainly was almost certainly the result of the Israelis, almost certainly this was an assault by the Israeli intelligence, I assume, the Mossad. It's interesting the drones that attacked this facility, the Iranians said they knocked them all down, but there was a large explosion in the middle of large explosion in the middle of what do you call it, Isfahan. So it appears that they achieved their target. These were done by quadcopters, these are drones with four of these, what do you call it, like a helicopter. There's no way, there's no way these drones could be launched from Israel and travel hundreds and hundreds of miles all the way to Isfahan. You could imagine they could be navigated by satellite, but it's hard to believe that they can go all the way propellers. Thank you, Rob. That's the word I was looking for, propellers. And it's, so these, nobody's talking about this, I mean, none of the stories I read, they talked about this, but these must have been likely launched in Iran by, you know, Israeli operatives in Iran or maybe from neighboring Iraq or somewhere neighboring, but almost certainly not all the way flown all the way from Israel. That would be, I think, impossible. So it is interesting, it's also true that this is not the first attack by drones on Iranian facilities, by what we believe is Israel. In August 2019, Israel sent an exploding quadcopter into the heart of a Hezbollah-dominated neighborhood in Beirut, Lebanon, and to destroy a machinery vital for the production of precision missiles. So they literally brought it into a room and blew it up. I mean, that's pretty cool. And that was in 2019. In June 2021, quadcopters exploded at one of Iran's main manufacturing centers for centrifuges, which purify uranium at the country's two major uranium enrichment facilities. A year ago, six quadcopters exploded in another Iranian manufacturing and storage plant for military drones. So they were already attacking the Iranian capacity to produce drones, although it seems like they're still producing huge numbers of drones that are primarily going at this point to Russia. And then in May 2022, a drone strike targeted a highly sensitive military site outside Tehran, where it is assumed Iran develops missiles, nuclear, and drone technology. So Israel has been using drones pretty regularly to attack sites and targets within Iran. I mean, this is pretty cool. Drone technology allows Israel to do this at relatively low risk. It doesn't involve flying jets into Iranian airspace, which is, again, hundreds and hundreds of miles away. You'd have to travel over Jordan, over Iraq, over Saudi Arabia in order to get there. It's been done. Israel, of course, bombed a nuclear facility outside of Baghdad, but Iran is even further than that. And they would have to fly in some kind of stealth mode to avoid detection. It would be a very, very complicated operation to fly actual airplane in drones, allow them to use, I guess, local agents or local special forces units in order to do all this stuff. And if you think about it from the perspective of special operations, when you think about it from the perspective of what is needed and the kind of intelligence that they have to have in order to launch this, it's pretty amazing. A lot of these installations remember are secret. A lot of these installations are not known. Generally, the Iranians don't advertise that the Israelis not only have the intelligence to know where these installations are and to know what exactly to attack, but they also have the intelligence and the resources and the personnel to actually be able to deploy within Iran and actually be able to destroy targets within Iran. All I can say is good for the Israelis in doing this. I think this is something the whole world benefits from. I think the Ukrainians must be happy, but mainly this is an act of self-defense of Israel, Israel defending itself. I mean, if you consider this plus all the attacks on Iranian targets in Syria, Israel is an ongoing, sustained nonstop war against the Iranians on Iranian soil on an any way Iran sends its troops, its military and its equipment. And this is a way to just degrade the Iranian capacity for significant, for war with Israel. So again, I think these are all pretty impressive from a military strategic intelligence perspective and pretty important from a self-defense perspective.
