Typing is slow today—I’m having to use a substitute keyboard. The “s” on my good keyboard stopped working and I couldn’t fix it.
From the reports we’re getting this morning this sounds a bit like an April Fool’s Joke staged by the US and Israel. The best reports are that Israel used infiltrated terrorist groups inside Iran to launch a few drones that were all shot down or crashed. The guess is that Iran will laugh this one off—probably. Here are a few reports:

 The Iranian president laughs at Israel after today's "attack"
"We are fighting a war of wills, and Iran has won and will continue to achieve victories. 'The True Promise' reflected our strength, the iron will of our people, and our unity.
All segments of the people and all political trends agree that Operation 'True Promise' has strengthened the strength and ability of the Islamic Republic."

U.S WARNED ISRAEL TO LIMIT ITS ATTACK ON IRAN - Al Jazeera
U.S officials claim Washington warned Netanyahu that escalating the conflict with Iran would not “serve the interests” of America or Israel.

 So according to all the information summarized, the attack in Iran is coming from inside by launching drones from infiltrated spies, in the same way that the Ukrainians are launching drones inside Russia.
The drones are shot down by the air defense of Iran. Israel's action was more of a failed show.
There is no video evidence of missiles being launched or hitting anything, as claimed by the Western media.
Even the Israeli National Security Minister calls Israel's response ridiculous.
The Israeli action completely failed and did not even bring media success.
An Israeli news outlet posted a photo of Gaza bombing under the headline of Israeli missile strike in Iran! We sincerely hope they don't use images of Iranian missiles hitting Israeli targets for their following stories.
Pivoting to Gaza. It seems that the US was embarrassed by the Haaretz report yesterday that there was some sort of supposed quid pro quo between Israel—don’t attack Iran and you can attack Rafah:

But here’s some real news. The US military is being forced out of strategic African countries in the Sahel. This move by Chad seems to have been prepared some time ago, because there have been reports of high level US delegations flying to Chad around the same time that Niger expelled the US military. As you can see, Chad lies between Niger and Sudan and directly south of Libya. This entire area from the Red Sea to the Atlantic and north to the Mediterranean is an area of competition between the West, Russia, and China.
Breaking!! US Military Activities in Chad have been suspended with immediate effect!

It’s no coincidence that the Uniparty is seeking to pass sweeping new powers to ban websites and spy on Americans at the same time that it bankrupts America with forever wars. This agenda is increasingly unpopular and can only be propped up with authoritarian tactics.
On a Chromebook I temporarily restore frozen keys by closing the unit, turning it over, and gently rapping on the place above where the harness from the builtin keyboard connects with the motherboard.

YMMV.
