An Iranian missile was intercepted over central Israel a short time ago.

What a clown.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar mocked his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, over a social media post suggesting Iran’s missiles had caused “utter devastation” to the Jewish state.

It’s perhaps difficult for the leaders of an authoritarian regime to grasp that in a free and democratic country with full press freedom, such devastation could not be hidden.

Yes, the IDF put new censorship guidelines in place to avoid helping the Iranians better aim their missiles and deny them juicy propaganda clips. But Israel has been quite open about what damage and casualties have resulted from the Iranian attacks.

Araghchi is starting to remind us of “Baghdad Bob,” the Iraqi Information Minister during the Second Gulf War, who went on television insisting the armies of Iraq were defeating the Americans, even as American tanks could be seen behind him entering the Iraqi capital.

As Israel’s foreign minister said, nothing but a clown.

By the way - Araghchi claims he's got "men and women on the ground" in Israel to report what's really happening.

Well, so do you! We're here, and we can tell you that while there are indeed daily missile attacks, and some damage and casualties, Israel is far from being devastated.

Except for those short trips to the bomb shelters, daily life goes on. In fact, I need to leave soon to take my middle son to football (soccer) practice.

President Trump again lays into Israeli President Isaac Herzog for not immediately pardoning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling Herzog "pathetic" for insisting first on a legal opinion from the Attorney General's Office.

"He doesn't need a legal opinion," insisted Trump in remarks to Israel's Channel 12. "I need Bibi focused on the war, not on this bulls**t."

"Strike hard"

"It's a great honor to be fighting with you."

"Likewise...strike hard."
