Analysis: How might Iran respond to Israeli attack?
Analysis: How might Iran respond to Israeli attack? Overnight Israel struck several locations in Iran, including the capital Tehran and the country's nuclear sites. Israel says 200 fighter jets were involved in the attack that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said will last many days. With Iran's defenses weakened in Israel's October attack, and several military leaders killed, its response to last night's strike may be limited.

Trump urges Iran to reach nuclear deal after Israeli strikes, 'before there is nothing left'
Israeli air strikes kill top Iranian military leaders, hit nuclear sites 11 minutes ago Duration 15:07 Social Sharing U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday urged Iran to make a deal over its nuclear program, saying that there was still time for the country to prevent further conflict with Israel. Israel launched strikes against Iran on Friday, saying it had targeted nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and military commanders during the start of an operation to prevent Tehran from building a nuclear weapon. An Israeli military spokesperson said its operation against Iran would be lengthy and gradual. Trump suggested in his early morning social media post that Iran had brought the attack on itself by resisting U.S. demands in talks to restrict its nuclear program. The U.S. president said he "gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal," and "it will only get worse" for the Islamic Republic if they fail to make a deal now. "There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. "Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire," he added. WATCH l Don't expect Iran to wait too long to retaliate: Middle East analyst: Israel targets Iran's nuclear program: What happens now? 8 hours ago Duration 7:51 Mediator Oman condemns Israeli strikes American officials have repeatedly said any new nuclear deal — to replace a 2015 accord between Tehran and six world powers including the U.S., from which Trump withdrew — must include a commitment to scrap uranium enrichment, a prerequisite for developing nuclear bombs. The Islamic Republic insists it wants nuclear energy only for civilian purposes. But the 35-nation board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which includes Canada, declared Iran in breach of its non-proliferation obligations for the first time in almost 20 years on Thursday. Washington and Tehran on Thursday had announced plans for another round of talks on Sunday in Oman between U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. It's not clear yet if those talks will still occur. Oman said it considered the overnight attacks "a dangerous, reckless escalation, representing a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter, the principles of international law." "Such aggressive, persistent behaviour is unacceptable and further destabilizes the regional peace and security," the government statement read. "The Sultanate of Oman holds Israel responsible for this escalation and its consequences, and calls upon the international community to adopt a firm and unequivocal stance to halt this dangerous course of action," it added. U.S. says it didn't participate Trump has been increasingly at odds with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over both Iran and his handling of Israel's war in Gaza, wanting to seal a deal with Tehran and accelerate food aid into Gaza. Trump and Netanyahu spoke on Monday, and Trump told reporters the main topic was Iran. Speaking to reporters on Thursday, he suggested an Israeli attack was imminent. Retaliation by Iran for Israel's strikes could put U.S. troops and diplomats around the region at risk, given that the United States is Israel's main backer. Security concerns had risen since Trump said on Wednesday that U.S. personnel were being moved out of the region because "it could be a dangerous place" and that Tehran would not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon. Marco Rubio, Trump's secretary of state and national security adviser, stressed that Israel's strikes were unilateral, while saying the U.S. had known attacks would occur. "We are not involved in strikes against Iran, and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region," Rubio said in a statement. "Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defence." But Trump's social media post hours later urging Iran to make a deal boasted that "the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World." Rubio's statement did not mention whether Washington would support Israel if it faces retaliatory strikes, a standard line in the past, but he did warn Iran to not target U.S. interests or personnel. Iran is a signatory to the global nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel is not and is believed to have the Middle East's sole nuclear arsenal. Iran said in a statement that Israel's "cowardly" attack showed why Iran had to insist on enrichment, nuclear technology and missile power. Several world leaders called for both sides to exercise restraint. A spokesperson for Antonio Guterres said the UN Secretary General "is particularly concerned by Israeli attacks on nuclear installations in Iran while talks between Iran and the United States on the status of Iran's nuclear program are underway."

The Old-School Breakfast Staple That Fueled The US Army
Feeding a group as large and active as the U.S. Army is undoubtedly a challenge, one that military leaders have had to confront since the earliest days of war. In these situations, the solutions may not always be pretty, even if they're effective. Creamed chipped beef on toast (commonly known by the unappetizingly profane nickname "S*** on a Shingle," or S.O.S for short) is undoubtedly one of those solutions. For much of the 20th century, it was a staple on Army menus both at home and abroad. A typical creamed chipped beef on toast recipe involves sautéing thin slices of chipped beef (a dried, pressed, salted meat product that often had to be soaked in water before use) in butter before creating a simple, creamy pan sauce with flour and milk. This mixture serves as the first "S" in the memorable nickname. It's served on toasted bread, representing the second "S." It first appeared in Army cooking literature in 1910, where it was sized to feed 60 men with 15 pounds of beef. This preparation also inverted a more familiar recipe by directing cooks to make the gravy first, followed by the meat. The dish offered several advantages for military mess halls. First, as evidenced by the size of the recipe, it was easy to prepare in large quantities. It's also made from relatively common ingredients like butter and flour, along with easy-to-store and easy-to-transport components like chipped beef and evaporated milk.

Unfortunately for old-school G.I.s (and those interested in nostalgic food), the S.O.S. dish has undeniably joined the ranks of old-school breakfasts you don't see people eating today, alongside milk toast and hoecakes. While the exact timeline isn't clear, the military switched over at some point to a similar but distinct dish using leaner, more familiar meats like ground beef or turkey instead. This isn't particularly surprising, considering the rules the U.S. Army has about food that focus on variety and nutrition-rich selections. However, S.O.S likely made it into (or at least close to) the 21st century, with some reports indicating that it was served for nostalgic reasons as late as 1999. Although it may no longer appear regularly on military plates, there's no denying the importance of this humble, often under-appreciated dish. Those looking for a simple yet satisfying breakfast should think like a soldier and whip up a batch to try for themselves. Read the original article on Mashed.
