In Just Six Days, Israel Has Changed The Middle East Forever. by Morbeta11(op): 1:51pm On Jun 19, 2025
In just six days, Israel has changed the Middle East forever.

We’re witnessing what I believe is the most stunning and masterful military and intelligence campaign in history. And while most people surely realize that Israel’s successes are impressive, I’m not sure the moment is properly understood or appreciated. So, let me try and put things in perspective.

Israel, a country roughly 22,000 square kilometres in size, with a population of approximately 10 million, has completely dismantled Iran – a country that is 1.6 million square kilometres in size and that has a population of 90 million. If we’re talking land – that’s 72 times the size of Israel – and nearly 10 times the population. This is mind-boggling. If we look at land mass, it would be like Cuba taking out the United States.

If we focus on population, think about Maine overwhelming Pennsylvania. Then take into account that there’s about 1500 kilometres between the two countries, with Israel carrying out strikes at least 2300 kilometres away, depending on how far into Iran they’ve travelled. Again – unbelievable.

But this isn’t all about successes. What we’re seeing is also the result of the greatest political and strategic miscalculation in history – October 7th.

In 600 days, Hamas has been decimated, Hezbollah is in tatters, the Assad regime has fallen, and the IDF controls the skies of Iran – regime officials are running for their lives. Yahya Sinwar, Hassan Nasrallah, Ismail Haniyeh, Ibrahim Aqil, Fuad Shukr, Mohammad Deif, Marwan Issa, Hossein Salami, and countless others have been eliminated. Because of unchecked hubris throughout much of the Arab world, chronic and blinding fanaticism, deep delusion, and a complete denial of Jewish and Israeli resolve, our enemies have suffered a catastrophic collapse.

I raise these points to underscore the gravity of what’s happening right now. Take it in, be in awe, and understand that the world will never be the same – and that’s a good thing.

Honestly, it's not about having a massive population. It's about having quality human beings. Iran is like Nigeria - a country with a massive population with a lot of Dundee Uniteds!

Hmmm. Thats why they plan well ahead and go for the decisive blows immediately the balls are set rolling. If isreal were to employ similar tactics as Iran, then things will be much more messier for the Iranians.

Isreal is very small and so a bruteforce approach from iran will likely hit juicy targets. Israel's defence is also very expensive. Asides these major disadvantages, i see fewer ways Iran can gravely hurt Israel.

I wonder why Israel hasnt figured out a way to take down more of Iran's zigzag missiles. Something like a curtain of drones should do that. A curtain of drones that identifies direction of incoming missile barrages and just rises to form a curtain, then employ bruteforce in reverse to shoot down the missiles. That should be cheaper than iron dome. Even Ukraine needs such too.

No. Nigeria is a looting version of Iran. Smart folks are relegated and pushed away from power while the equivalent of the Ayetollahs(elites) loot n plunder instead of advancing technologically. Look at how they just hit Benue with enough petrol to actually chase and catch the killers, then, declare what they should have been doing as action points. Isnt that wonderfully terrific?

Iran not israel has changed the middle east. In the next 6 days tel aviv will be powder
Re: In Just Six Days, Israel Has Changed The Middle East Forever. by Llpsporksman: 3:02pm On Jun 19, 2025
For over half a century, the world was fed a carefully crafted illusion: that Israel was invincible, that its Iron Dome was impenetrable, and that America’s war dog could never bleed. They called it "God's chosen," a divine fortress backed by an empire that supposedly ruled the Earth.
But all myths eventually face their reality check.
In a dramatic twist that has left Western analysts gasping and Tel Aviv bunkers trembling, Iran’s missiles have shattered the legend—not just physically, but psychologically. The illusion of Israeli supremacy has cracked under a barrage of precision strikes, and now, for the first time in modern history, the so-called “untouchable state” is peeing in fear.
And what's the USA doing? Screaming like a panicked mother hen, threatening Iran, waving nuclear ultimatums, and begging for a ceasefire.
Why cry now, Uncle Sam? Didn't you want war?

🇮🇷 Iran Didn’t Just Fire Missiles—It Fired Truth
Let’s call it what it is: Iran has obliterated the myth of Israeli exceptionalism. A nation once seen as the apex predator in the Middle East is now exposed, its streets in chaos, and its people huddling in bunkers, unsure if the next strike will hit a power plant, a defense HQ, or a government ministry.
The world is witnessing what Israel and its Western backers never imagined: a Third World nation, under sanctions and isolation, delivering a military humiliation to a nuclear-armed state funded by the most powerful empire on Earth.
And here’s the kicker: Iran isn’t even done yet.

🛡️ Israel’s “Iron Dome” or Tin Roof?
For years, Israel’s air defense systems were paraded in Western media like ancient Greek shields—perfect, impenetrable, legendary. But when the Fattah-1 missiles rained down, they cut through those systems like hot knives through butter.
Reports show multiple cities—Haifa, Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and Ashdod—took direct hits, crippling infrastructure and exposing the nation’s internal chaos. The so-called Arrow, David’s Sling, and Iron Dome were either overwhelmed or bypassed. Turns out, billions in Western defense contracts can't protect a house of cards.
Israel has never looked so mortal.

🦅 USA: The Hunter Now Shouting “Ceasefire
!”
Here comes the hypocrisy at full throttle.
After decades of arming Israel, vetoing UN resolutions, and greenlighting every military aggression from the apartheid wall to airstrikes on Syria, America now wants Iran to "exercise restraint"?
Let that sink in.
After watching Israel bomb Damascus, assassinate scientists, sabotage nuclear sites, and level Gaza neighborhoods, the USA had no problem. But now that Iran fights back, the rules suddenly change?
Suddenly it’s a “global crisis.” Suddenly there’s talk of “escalation.” Suddenly, Uncle Sam is crying and rattling its sabers.
Why? Because for the first time, its bulldog is being mauled in the open, and the neighborhood isn’t afraid anymore.

🤖 The Real Panic: A Shift in Global Power

This isn’t just about missiles—this is about the collapse of Western moral authority. Iran’s counterstrikes have opened Pandora’s box:
• The Arab street is erupting in support of Tehran, not Tel Aviv.
• Turkey, Qatar, and even some Gulf states are quietly distancing themselves from Israel.
• The Global South is watching, learning: maybe the empire isn’t invincible after all.
The USA is not crying for peace—it’s crying for control. Because the beast they trained for chaos is now facing chaos itself.

📉 Israel: The Beginning of the End
?
Let’s be honest—Israel was never built to survive without American backup. Its economy, military, intelligence, and political dominance were always tethered to Washington. But now, as its cities burn and its security elite scramble, the American leash looks frayed.
And Iran? Far from collapsing, it’s growing in influence. Its proxies are stronger. Its missiles are smarter. And its boldness? Unmatched.
In truth, Iran just redefined asymmetric warfare—and exposed the limits of both Israeli and American dominance.

😏 Why Cry Now?

You wanted war, remember? You sold the weapons. You funded the campaigns. You shut down diplomacy. You silenced international voices. You empowered the beast and watched it devour the region.
Now that the tables have turned, you cry for ceasefire?
Too late.
The resistance you laughed at, sanctioned, and demonized now holds the initiative. The hunter’s attack dog is wounded, and the jungle smells blood.

🌍 The Earthquake is Coming

What the West fears most is not Iran’s missile payloads—it’s the global political earthquake they’ve triggered. For decades, the West ruled by fear. But now, it rules by pretense. And the veil is falling.
What’s next? A world where Israel is just another state—not above the law, not beyond criticism, and no longer bulletproof.
A world where the U.S. can no longer pick winners and losers in the global south. A world where multipolarity isn’t a dream—it’s a missile away.
And that, dear reader, is what they’re really crying about.

very true. Lol.
If we consider how Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis are funded, the Iranians actually changed the ME and not Israel. A case of half empty or half filled cup of water. Lol

Nigeria can only dream to be half the nation Iran is...!

...And that's putting it mildly and pleasantly.


A country that can't even sort out a ragtag coalition of Islamic terrorists in a single region for over 15 years.

When you tell Nigerians to lay aside ethnicity and religion, unite and elect good leaders, they think you are talking too much.


Since Yar'adua died, this nation hasn't had a decent and intelligent individual as head of state.

It will ONLY be worth it if the Iranian Shiite mullahs are removed... A total regime change MUST take place otherwise they will stubbornly bounce back and be deadlier.

This is NOT the time to be politically correct.


The emperor Cyrus the Great (Shah han Shah or King of Kings) of the Persian Empire of which Iran forms the epicenter will be "happy" in his grave if that is done.

The Israelis and the Iranians were BEST of friends during the years of the Shahs of Iran till the very last one that left in 1979 on exile when Ayatollah Khomeini and his fellow Shiite rulers took over Iran. The relationship between the Jews and Persians (Iran) was very cordial to such an extent that many Jews even lived in Tehran and migrated from other countries of Europe and the Caucasus region by boat into Shiraz and contiguous cities of Iran.

See stupid propaganda from Israeli lapdogs. Anyways, I don't blame you, the pay from Hasbara has to be justified.

All those Islamic terrorists are really dumb when it comes to modern warfare, they think that modern warfare is by shouting Alan's snack bar !!!, Iran is the only country that literally all it's military generals was eliminated on the first day of the conflict.

Iran can only launch barrages of missiles and drones hoping one or two will evade arrow 3, David sling and Iron dome. While Israel air force will fly thousands of miles into Iran and bomb who they want to bomb, destroy military targets and nuclear sites.

People are saying that Israel is begging Us to step in, whereas the truth is that Israel is asking USA for its MOAB and B2 bomber, because Israeli bunker buster bomb can't penetrate deep enough to fully destroy lran's nuclear sites that is 300meters deep into the ground and only B2 stealth jet can carry MOAB.

Netanyahu needed this war to draw attention away from his corruption trials in court. Whatever has to be said, he just set a time bomb in place.

They don't need to beg... Leave media propaganda abeg.

Israel and America are eternal allies. Do some research.


Iran is fighting an already lost cause.

The White House will always align against any Islamic Republic, especially the ones known to support terrorists.

Tell us the true story.
Iran is wealthy.
If they left to do their thing, they'll soon turn their wealth to power, build nuclear weapons and threaten America and its allies.
Trump is looking for a way to invade Iran and exploit its resources like they did in Iraq.
They use Israel to start the invasion.

Remove the support of US in all ramifications and tell us what is left of Israel. Funny enough, since this particular war started, Israel has been practically begging the "big daddy" to step in. Is that an indication that Israel can go it alone?you may want to tone down on the praise singing, the US is fighting it's wars using Israel as a front.
