There are very early breaking reports on Twitter/X.

There were reports earlier today that the US had sent in their refueling planes to the area- If the reports are accurate then the US is directly participating in the strikes on Iran.

Breaking: Explosions reported in Iran and Syria amid claims of Israeli attack

A series of explosions were reported in Iran’s capital Tehran early Saturday morning local time amid fears of Israeli retaliation to the Oct. 1 missile strikes carried out by Iranian regime against Israel.

Axios reported that Israel had conducted air strikes in Iran, citing two sources.

Iran’s semi-official Mehr news agency reported that explosions were heard near the capital Tehran around 2:30 am local (7:00 pm ET). The source of the blasts is under investigation, according to the outlet.

Syria’s official SANA news agency reported that Syrian air defenses confronted hostile targets in the Damascus area. The outlet reported the sound of explosions in the area earlier.

The United States and Israel previously came to an informal agreement regarding Israel’s response, in which Washington promised to reward Israel for not striking Iranian nuclear and oil facilities – a move which would result in reverberations across the region. 

The US military has also dispatched aircraft carriers and fighter jets to the region as a form of deterrence. 

Multiple explosions seen in Iran’s capital Tehran

Explosions have been heard in Iran‘s capital and nearby Karaj City, Iranian media has said. 

There are reports of at least five explosions that have rocked the city of Tehran, as well as loud blasts heard in the Damascus countryside and central region, although the cause is still unknown.

Thankfully the morning dawns on another reprieve.
Apparently the missile barrage was not as bad as initially reported. That is why Iranians have refrained from immediate retaliation.
What a slippery slope to total war. Thankful for those with restraint but there so many actors in this sordid passion play how long can we expect to see rationality?

Thanks for the comments Mark! It was hard to tell last night how this was going to play out and even what exactly went on.
This morning it does indeed appear the Israeli strike on Iran was less than had been expected. And less than Israel had been hyping.
When there are explosions reported are they countering missiles or are they missile strikes?
I’ve been doing some reading this morning and will try to get some updated information posted here

I was relieved this morning that the situation had not gotten out of hand, for now. What may come? We shall see.
