NYT is reporting the missing airman has been rescued, I figured this was notable enough for its own thread

  1. >Petrochemical factories hit: Israel on Saturday struck the Mahshahr petrochemical complex, a sprawling industrial center in Iran’s southwest that plays a significant role in the country’s economy. **Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said the targeted sites were part of a “money machine” that brought in revenues for the Iranian government**

    Netanyahu is basically admitting to trying to turn Iran into a failed state. Attacking sites simply because they are vital for Iran’s economy is not a valid reason to bomb them. Like, for instance, if a factory is sustaining Iran’s war effort, that could make it a valid military target.

    The U.S. really needs to re-evaluate its alliance with Israel.

    >In the end, the United States extracted the officer in an operation that involved hundreds of special operations troops.

    That must have been terrifying for the pilot and his family. Iran has a history of mistreating prisoners and using them for leverage. Glad this turned out well.

    What do you guys think the 48 hour warning entails😥

    Hopefully not nuclear or severe bombing?
