Did the West + Israel got the message from Iran?

Iran has shot over 300 hundred missiles and drones depleting the US and Israel of their expensive missiles to counter Iran's huge arsenal in subsequent retaliation. Moreover, the math is Iran's drones and missiles cost less than $20,000 each whereas Israel's are over $1000,000 each. Economics and depletion of stocks prohibit escalating. Doing so will be suicide as Iran will convincingly defeat Israel, even with US help. In addition, NATO has been depleted by Russia so it cannot spare more ammo. Once more, the US and Israel gave up the retaliation because they do not have enough ammo to counter Iran and Hezbollah arsenal of 100,000s of drones and missiles in subsequent attacks which will devastate Israel. The cowards backed off, not because of Biden's alleged call, but knowing Iran does not bluff and will impose an unacceptable cost on the cabal and Zionists. The US and Israel have also been warned by Iran that further aggression will result in blocking the flow of oil and gas from the ME causing economic collapse of the entire West which is facing Russia militarily and damage from economic war on China. The win is Iran's. It defied the US and retaliated which traumatized Israel's population and caused huge economic losses. Economic activity, interdiction of shipping, tourism, immigration and investments in Israel will be stopped, these losses are in the billions. Given these random facts, neither the US, nor Israel or Europe can afford antagonizing Iran, because it hold most winning cards. The most damaging will be closing the Strait of Hormuz and if Iran's survival was at stake it will destroy all oil and gas installation, causing a global depression, The West's economies are stagnant and they are in heavy debt, such outcome will force the collapse of the entire capitalist system and perhaps lead to a global war.

Israel lost

Israeli general reveals cost of defending against attack – media

Israel has claimed success in defending itself against Saturday’s drone and missile barrages by Iran, but that effort reportedly came at a high price.

The interceptors, jet fuel and other materials expended in shooting down Iran’s unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and missiles cost about 4 billion to 5 billion shekels ($1.06 billion to $1.33 billion), Israeli Brigadier General Reem Aminoach told local media outlet Ynet News on Sunday. The estimate included only Israel’s direct costs, not counting the considerable weaponry used by the US and other allies in helping to defend against the attack.

Aminoach, formerly the financial adviser to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief of staff, said West Jerusalem used such munitions as Arrow and David’s Sling interceptor missiles, which have per-unit costs of about $3.5 million and $1 million, respectively. He also included sortie expenses for the fighter jets that did the bulk of the work in shooting down Iranian drones.

The general lamented that it was far cheaper for Iran to launch the attack than for Israel to defend itself. “The attack cost Iran less than 10% of what it cost us to defend against it,” he told Ynet. “In the future – in a year, two years, or five years – they can carry out 50 such attacks. And let’s say that if the IDF’s net budget in 2023 was 60 billion shekels, with less than double that you have no chance of reaching a situation where we can maintain the required amounts.”

The IDF claimed that 99% of the more than 300 kamikaze drones and missiles launched from Iranian territory were successfully intercepted. All of the UAVs and cruise missiles were shot down, military spokesman Daniel Hagari said, while a few ballistic missiles got through Israel’s defenses.

Those projectiles fell at the Nevatim Airbase and caused “only minor damage to infrastructure,” the spokesman said. He added that the drones launched by Iranian-backed militants in Iraq and Yemen all failed to reach Israeli territory. The only casualty was a shrapnel wound to a 10-year-old Bedouin Israeli girl who was hit while sleeping at her home in southern Israel.

Netanyahu called off retaliation strikes after speaking to Biden – NYT

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled a plan to launch immediate retaliatory strikes against Iran after speaking to US President Joe Biden by phone on Saturday night, Israeli officials have told the New York Times.

According to two anonymous officials, Netanyahu’s war cabinet presented him with a list of responses to a massive drone and missile attack by Iran on Saturday evening. While some members of the cabinet reportedly pushed for an immediate military response, Netanyahu ultimately chose not to follow their advice at Biden’s request, the sources said.

The full details of Biden’s conversation with Netanyahu were not revealed by the White House. According to a report on Sunday by Axios, however, Biden told Netanyahu that Israel had essentially prevailed in this clash with Iran and advised him to “take the win.” It was also made clear during the call that any retaliatory action by Israel would not be supported by Washington, the American outlet reported.


Netanyahu’s war cabinet met on Sunday afternoon to discuss Israel’s response to the Iranian attack, while Iran’s top military commander declared that the “Zionist regime” had been adequately “punished,” and that Tehran would not pursue further military action unless Israel struck again.

Iran launched multiple waves of missiles and kamikaze drones at Israel on Saturday, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stating that at least 300 projectiles were fired. While the IDF claimed to have shot down 99% of the incoming drones and missiles, video footage showed numerous impacts on Israeli soil.

Iranian officials insisted that they had “more success than expected” with the barrage, and claimed that two Israeli bases had been destroyed. The IDF acknowledged only minor damage to one military facility.

15 Iranian missiles hit strategic base of Nevatim

Al-Manar citing informed sources announced that Iran has targeted Nevatim Air Base in the south of occupied Palestine with 15 missiles early on Sunday.

Sources reported that following this attack, this base was damaged severely and became completely out of function.

Nevatim air base is located in the south of the occupied territories in the Negev desert region and near the city of Be'er Sheva which is the main base of the F-35 fighters of the Zionist regime.

The IRGC Air Force had practiced a missile attack on a simulated example of this Zionist air base last year. This base is about 1100 km away from the western borders of Iran.

I believe it has to do with submarine fibre outages around the world. Nigeria is even better. Ghana is worse. Their chamber of telecommunications has issued a notice to this effect.

Too many rules and overpreparation flop interview.

Mine is just be yourself and present yourself in the best manner you think could secure the job.

You are only putting yourself in a tight corner with overpreparations

I was in Accra to Lagos flight yesterday (10/10/2023) when a pilot of African World Airlines aborted take-off.

The aircraft was scheduled to take off at 6:30am local time. We boarded on time and the aircraft began to taxi on the runway. My mind already in Lagos, thinking about my schedules for the day. The aircraft changed the engine power for take of and started speeding off. Suddenly, the aircraft slowed down, almost to a halt and pull away from the takeoff runway. I knew there was a big issue. I have never experienced that before. The pilot announced that he got a wrong signal from the aircraft which made him to abort takeoff.

I was happy and appreciative that the pilot attention to details was top notch. A silly pilot could have ignored and thought he would get someone to check it when he is back.

My full appreciation to AWA entire crew members. Thank you all for the high safety standards and precautions.

You later bought another thermostat? If yes how much please?

I had the old one with me which was returned.

My car is four years. I have been using it with thermostat as against all mechanic advice.

One removed it when I had overheating issue caused by faulty radiator. I got it returned back after changing the radiator. I never had a any issue with it. Special thanks to a nairaland mech who returned it back to factory default.

How Nigerians have survived till this moment is still a mystery.

Let all politicians and civil servants work like staff of Zenith or First bank and see sanity.

As long as we still tolerate corruption, politicians having unhindered access to money and civil servants go to work to break egusi and gossips during work hours...

Imagine a banker going to office to break egusi

I have the carburetor for sale.

Mahul:
This country is finished

If all other chairmen of different agencies came out to explain what they know, maybe the corruption would be at minimum.

How Nigerians have been surviving all these is still a mystery.

Mynd44, Seun. This is the kind of topic we want on frontpage. Not until we have Tiwa Savage going braless before a topic is frontpage worthy.

The NDIC board chairman Hon Abdulhakeem Abdulateef could not hold his tears as he explains the corruption in the organization he is superintending.

Cabals really dealt with Nigeria.

AwkaFinest:





Something is just abnormal about you.

You know nothing about the guy.

That's the legendary Musiwa. Ask old nairalanders about him

You call lalasiticlala. He will come to your house and grab that snake with his bare hand.

Our resident nairaland snakeboys and seun can testify

Highly irresponsible

Lol. It is the least developed state in Nigeria despite heavy presence of oil and gas companies.

Just don't go there during rainy season. You will understand what swamp is all about.

Food? Very expensive as the rely on food and water from other neighbouring states.

I can never wish my enemy to live there

seeyounow:
are drank

Musiwa?

DeLaRue:
People just don't understand that despite its challenges, Nigeria is a mighty country.

Most populous country and largest economy in Africa and on the cusps of economic explosion if we get our acts together.

Just because Ghana, Sweden, Argentina (etc) get a few more hours of electricity doesn't make them more notable and powerful than Nigeria.

Outside of the US and may be China, no country in the world can genuinely influence Nigeria against its wish.

That's a fact.

Agreed. Only very few know this. Most Nigerians are talkatives who ignore facts and be quick to complain and run down their fatherland with their big mouths.

Nigeria is a great country!

Saifullah01:
Ramadan Kareem to the president elect. May Allah guide u as you prepare to pilot the affairs of over 200 million souls.

For it is You O Allah, Owner of Power(and Rule), You give power to whom You will and You take power away from whom You will. You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.

.

Ramadan Kareem to you too

Rayzoom:
A fool like you who's tribe has been president of Nigeria from 1914 till date can you please tell me how better you and your tribe feel in Nigeria than Igbo? Igbo being a laughing stock is only on nairaland and in the head of those of you who is jealous about Igbo's achievement.

Cry me an ocean

Fidgeting already.

GodinDaFlesh:


Igbo money and investment contributes to Lagos, so nope, try again.

Yes. I learnt you bought the BRTs for Lagos and you own Dangote refinery as everything is Igbo.

Did you see the statistics of how each group has contributed to Lagos economy? Igbos only contributed paltry 7bn.
