Iran's strike against Israel was useless to start with. It achieved nothing. No major targets were hit and no casualties. 99% of the projectiles they launched against Israel were intercepted. What kind of rubbish is that? Was that show of shame all they could come up with for the lives of 7 top IRGC Generals? Iran is a joke. Nobody takes them serious.

Israel isn't interested in feel-good face-saving shows like Iran just did. Israel hits targets!

Precisely.
Iran's aim was not to kill but to produce a visible spectacle to the world.
Not a single soul was lost.
Almost all the Irani missiles and drones were intercepted safely so why should Israel go on the offensive and kill Iranians?
I doubt if Israel would have gone ahead with a counter strike against Iran under these circumstances even without US stance.

Iran demonstrated the willingness to engage and Israel and its allies showed their ability to thwart the aerial threats.

If there had been Israeli casualties, I'm sure Israel for serve Iran correct hot breakfast. Iran for don see shege danburo uba by now.

Since you have nothing meaningful to say why not ignore the post? Who told you that I'm even in Nigeria and who even depends on your national grid for power supply?

But to depend on allies for basic defence is weakness.

The US just told Israel that they would NOT be involved in any retaliation for the Iranian attack, and Israel has gone quiet.

Netanyahu has gone totally quiet. Even the media has been asking where he is and why he has said nothing in the last 3 days.

Now they are humble.

Meanwhile Iran issued another threat yesterday, that if Israel DARED to retaliate, they would strike much harder, with more deadly weapons and missiles.

Iran is stronger than Israel.

Even the US doesn’t want Iran’s trouble.

How you Mohame..ians think IRAN has more fire power than ISREAL baffles me, even some they believe say Russia a Christian State that was just attacked by Isis will support IRAN when it comes raining on them.

That the Iranian drones and missiles could cover 2,500km and reached Isreal despite attempts by the US, SA, France, and Jordan to intercept them, is itself a victory. Israel has always been nothing without its western allies. Is it not surprising that after 7 months of relentless bombardment in Gaza the Hamas Bibi pompously promised to obliterate is still standing? One-on-one the IDF can't defeat Hamas, not to talk of Iran. Now that the sleepy Joe has told Bibi that he is on his own if he dares attact Iran, the shameless pompous Bibi quickly ran to the UN asking her to condemnt "the Iranian aggression", the same UN he always disregard.

I hope you won't cry and protest when Israel retaliate, anyway there's no death apart from few injured personnel

Firstly,You guys are closing your eyes to the reality of Israeli defence system just because they have allies.
Israel has the strongest air defence system in the middle East,infact their air defence system is way stronger than that of Iran.
Israel also has the strongest airforce in the middle East,you can use Google if you doubt this.infact,I can boldly say that the strength of Israeli military is their airforce.
Secondly,Israel is wise enough to make friends with the west,and have them protect them invade of any eventualities.
The funny thing is,the strength of Israel is the weakness of Iran.
Right now,I am sure the Ayatollah regime will be praying the west can convince Israel not to retaliate.

You won't even have time to come here to celebrate their retaliation. All of una na mumu. The minute they retaliate fighters will cross from Lebanon and Syria and invade Israel proper. Hezbollah will get to Tel-Aviv doorsteps. Israelis are the greatest cowards ever. Hezbollah kills them like termites everyday.

Some people are saying Israel has not defeated Hamas,and I am asking if they are joking or are just blind.
Right now,Gaza is in ruins Hamas running and hiding to civilians and you say Israel is not making progress in Gaza.
If Hamas is winning,why haven't we seen them coming out,approaching telaviv to take over the city.
Saying Hamas is winning is like saying Ukraine is winning Russia..
When you win a war,you take territories,where are the territories that Hamas has taken,rather we see the idf attempting to go to rafah for the final push against Hamas...

Before Iran shot their catapault, Hezbollah tried to weaken the iron dome remember?

If Israel decides to respond,by shooting 300misiles into Tehran,I assure you that at least 100 will land on Ayatollah's backyard.

For the first time, Israeli have come to realize they are at the mercy of United States.

If Iran is as reckless as Israel, they would not have given warnings about their strike against Israel.

United States warned Israel about acting as a spoiled brat. Iran manufactures its weapons. Even Russia asked Iran for drones against Ukraine.

Israel must listen to those that installed it or perish. Even during the time of Trump as President, Iran struck US military base in the same Middle East after warning.

Iran's point is that no country is invisible to their strike.

Bro the missile pass through iraq where there are u.s bases,pass through jordan and saudi arabia Airspace...what do you expect?...More reason a war between israel and iran will escalate tension in the middle east. Base on their geographical location, it will be a difficult one for the two countries to have a ground invasion or an all out war without involving other parties.

Iran was not seeking a knockout blow, but rather a demonstration of capability which it succeeded in doing.

Even with US, France, UK and Jordan coming to its rescue, Iran old ballistic missiles struck their intended targets inside Israel. Now imagine, if Iran had strike with its more advanced missile and without any warning? These countries spent $1.2B to shoot down $68M worth of Iranian old missiles, their is a limit to how far they can go on defending Israel, and they know that without their help, Israel is no match for Iran missile capability. The message from Iran is loud and clear, hence the reason why Biden told Netanyahu to stand down.

Iran was not interested in causing major damage. They are a matured military power, and their objective was to prove to Israel that they could penetrate Israeli airspace via a direct strike from Iran, not to start a regional war. And they succeeded, because they hit military targets in Israel.

You should be thankful that they exhibited restraint, because if a big war breaks out, YOU would suffer if oil supplies are affected, causing world economic collapse, and nuclear powers got involved, so use your brain and stop being a foolish warmonger.

For the first time, the Israeli population were cowering under their beds as sirens went off across their tiny nation.

The population did not enjoy that. They were terrorised directly by Iran for the first time in their lives, and for once, Netanyahu is silent.


This is what many of them don't get. Iran's attack was mostly symbolic. In a real war scenario, they wouldn't inform Turkey, a NATO ally and start their attacks with drones flying at low speed from Iran which is thousands of miles away from Israel when they have better options available. Iran has many options, one of them being to start by overwhelming Israel's air defense from Lebanon before unleashing a barrage of ballistic missiles.

Another thing they fail to note is that everything Iran expended was less than $100 million (according to some estimates) but it took Israel a whopping $2 billion dollars to defend. Can they sustain such ratio in a real war scenario without using nuclear weapons, considering that they will have to deal with projectiles from Hezbollah and the Houthis as well?

How is it hogwash? The cost of each David Sling and Iron Dome payload is well-known, and the 2 billion dollars estimate was made by an IDF general. Western weapons are super expensive and even their leaders complain about that a lot.

It is nearly impossible for Iran to give any meaningful assistance to Hamas but Hezbollah is still formidable and hundreds of times more powerful than Hamas.
