“Iran communicated through the Swiss channel that its strike on Israel was complete”
How many ways could Iran have announced its attack? We were being told beforehand in the media that Iran would attack in the next 36 hours. That’s the opposite of a conventional surprise attack.
And Iran passed on word to Turkey, whose terror regime is one of the backchannels being used by the Biden admin.
Iran informed Turkey in advance of its planned operation against Israel, a Turkish diplomatic source told Reuters on Sunday, adding that Washington had conveyed to Tehran via Ankara that any action it took had to be “within certain limits.”
The Turkish source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had spoken to both his US and Iranian counterparts in the past week to discuss the planned Iranian operation, adding Ankara had been made aware of possible developments.
Earlier this week, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke to Fidan to make clear that escalation in the Middle East was not in anyone’s interest.
“Iran informed us in advance of what would happen. Possible developments also came up during the meeting with Blinken, and they (the US) conveyed to Iran through us that this reaction must be within certain limits,” the source said.
And then the ‘Swiss channel’ was used to convey information after the attack.
The United States learned that the Iranian strike on Israel was completed through Swiss channels, a senior administration official said Sunday.
A senior administration official told reporters in a briefing Sunday that the U.S. had a “series of direct communications through the Swiss channel” with Iran leading up to the attack. The official said Iran communicated through the Swiss channel that its strike on Israel was complete as the attacks were ongoing.
“We received a message from the Iranians as this was ongoing, through the Swiss. This was basically suggesting that they were finished after this, but it was still an ongoing attack,” the official told reporters.
Why bother doing all this? It’s coordination. It also means, as I’ve said before, that this is not the real attack. It’s a feint. A light show for publicity purposes. A test of U.S. and Israeli defenses. And a way to assure the Biden administration that its addiction to diplomacy still works.

Ezekiel 38-39
Sean says
Ez. 38:11- “You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling WITHOUT WALLS, and having neither bars nor gates’— 12 to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land.”
Also:
For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: ‘Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel, 20 so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and EVERY WALL shall fall to the ground.”

I’m guessing Israel will attack Iran, some early morning, not too distant. If Iran gets away with no response, other regional bullies, like Turkey will get ideas about being, “Palestinian Liberators”, and Caliphate wannabes.
James Lincoln says
One way to look at it is that Iran has “overplayed” its hand.
Unexpectedly, 99% of the Iranian missiles were destroyed before they could hit anything in Israel – resulting in very minimal damage.
Now Israel can justifiably attack strategic assets in Iran – with both barrels.
Sean says
Further proof that the only Iranians that deserve our pallets of cash are citizen revolutionaries that want to overthrow their Islamic “Republic” masters, not stone-age theologians that worship their false god and strive to obtain nuclear weapons…but, hey…why stabilize the region? Ain’t no money in that!

This was what Alex Hollings describes as “kinetic diplomacy”. It was designed to tell the Israelis that the Mullahs were annoyed by Israel’s actions. The attacks had many elements telegraphing what was going on. Now, the message was delivered. It was received in a funny manner. Israel probably signaled the reception by allowing four missiles hit the Negev desert slightly damaging one runway at the Negev Airbase. It was one of a group of four that got through or were let through because they’d do no real damage.
Unfortunately for them, the Mullahs delivered other messages as well. 600 items were launched. 300 of them never left Iran due to launch failures or other screw-ups like hanging up in power lines. And then the entire rest of the attack except for four missiles that did negligible damage. Clearly this signals that this was not Allah’s will or that Allah really is just the Mullah’s scam on the rest of the Muhammadans in Iran. I do not think either was a message they intended to send.
(Alex Hollings at “Sandboxx” on YouTube has a nice analysis of the kinetic diplomacy aspect.)

For all those with vast wealth this conflict has become religious. Islam directs its devotees to a global Ummah and usually by threatening the beheading of the kafirs if they don’t succumb or don’t convert to Allah and his messenger.

Exactly. A dry run for Iran to evaluate both its arms and our methods of defense.
