Friday ^^

That's definitely in the soon camp but I've also seen quite a few of those notices come and go without strikes happening too and rarely the day before, that's not really enough time to get out even if you wanted to.

Maybe slightly unrelated, Would this not heavily tip off Iran that an attack was coming?

Surely that’s easy for Iran to hear about.

It seems weird to know the attack was coming and yet their leader still gets killed.

And what could they do about it? Khamenei has been in hiding since we started moving our armada to centcom after maduro
