Last night, Israel launched a surprise series of strikes against Iran in what they’re calling Operation Rising Lion.
While I was hoping for a quiet weekend in Virginia Beach with a cigar, a golf ball, and a good book… the world had other plans.
In this video, I break down what we know so far:
What targets Israel struck — and why
How the IDF pulled off long-range strikes with limited tankers
The role of Iranian Kurds and possible covert ground support
Why fuel — not weapons — is the real operational constraint
Why the moon phase matters for air raids
And why this isn’t the start of World War III
We’ll also talk about what’s next, what the U.S. did not do, and why Iran may not be able to hit back in the same way it did last October.
