Allegedly the IRGC has claimed responsibility, but haven't had a chance to look any further yet as just got home.

Announcement No. 1
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

We inform the noble and heroic nation of Islamic Iran that, relying on Allah Almighty and with the grace of the Master of Time [Imam Mahdi] (may Allah hasten his return), in response to the recent crimes of the enemies of Islamic Iran, the espionage headquarters and gatherings of anti-Iranian terrorist groups in parts of the region were targeted and destroyed by the IRGC's ballistic missiles at midnight.

Details of this operation will be subsequently announced.

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps:

Announcement No. 2:

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has responded to the recent crimes of terrorist groups which tragically led to the martyrdom of a number of our dear compatriots in Kerman and Rask, by identifying and destroying the gathering places of the commanders and main elements involved in the recent terrorist operations, especially ISIS, in the occupied territories of Syria, through the launch of a number of ballistic missiles.

Note: This operation differs from the one that targeted sites in Iraq. Simultaneously, ballistic missiles were launched from Iran towards Iraq and Syria. (My italics)

Ok, it was the IRGC

[Mr Badger]

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced the destruction of:

Anti-Iranian terrorist group bases in occupied Syrian territory;

Syrian terrorist bases of groups involved in recent terrorist attacks in Iran;

The Mossad headquarters in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Eight sites near the American consulate in the city of Erbil were attacked by the IRGC. This was reported by television broadcaster ABC based on their sources.

According to the reporting, Erbil's airport stopped operating after a "very brutal bombing". Several explosions also occurred near the US consulate. ABC sources say there were no US military casualties.

No US facilities have been damaged by a missile attack in Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan, Reuters reported citing a US official.

This is complete nonsense. What I expect is the following:
In fall there are the elections in US and in four German states (Thuringia, Saxonia and Brandenburg for the local parliaments and Saxonia-Anhalt for the mayors). Russia will wait for the outcome of the US elections. If Trump is winning, the Zelensky regime in Kiev will fall. Then Russia will declare, that all Russian populated oblasts of Ukraine will join Mother Russia.
This will be used as a pretext by Chancellor Scholz to announce a state of defence. The real reason will be, that Germany is financially broke and there is a threat, that the right-wing AfD will win all the elections. So Scholz will cancel all elections.
Poland will use this as a pretext to "help" Western Ukraine against Russia and take Lvov. Hungary and Romania will also interfere.
Russia in the meantime will establish a neutral Kiev between NATO and Russia.
That's all there is.

I dont know what will unfold whilst I have studied Business strategy at a tertiary level Ive never been in the military/intelligence field,history or political science fields so I only comment on the blatantly obvious.

Now on this site we do link to a lot of Telegram/social media that operates from a Russian perspective if the Ukrainians were doing any good it would be on western media,it isn't and from the available material it seems large chunks of the Ukrainian military are starting to look like a rag tag and not very motivated partisan outfit rather than a well oiled western trained machine now Im not questioning the Ukranians courage or the fact they've probably learnt many lessons in the last 2 years but its not translating to victory on the battlefield.

Thats your wildcard it goes pearshaped and Nato tries something stupid to reverse it...particularly Britain
