IRGC Vows Unimaginable Response to Israel Tasnim. Alexander Mercouris discusses this story at the top of his Friday show. Note we had been skeptical of claims by normally very credible commentators like Larry Wilkerson that Iran had been talked into not retaliating
via things like US diplomacy. After new president Pezeshkian had just been duped by the US into thinking there might be some willingness to normalize relations and had to eat tons of crow publicly to restore some level of cred, the notion that Iran would listen to the US seemed astonishingly far-fetched. In addition, Iran had been very clear than any retaliation by Israel would lead to an Iranian response. So the question seemed not to be whether Iran would again hit Israel to maintain deterrence dominance, but when and how hard.

Antidote du jour. Tracie H:

A little over a week ago, at the end of one of our long Monday workdays in L.A., hubby and I found three motherless gray kittens on our doorstep. We left them there a couple of hours in hopes a mother cat would come retrieve them, but no. Due to how clean and flea-less they were, we’re pretty certain a neighbor left them.
