This is a big lie. Israelis are supermen how can there be 60+ injured. It was only two sligthly injured from anxiety and there were over 80yrs plus.
Get your facts right, an average israeli can take a hit from a ballistic missle and not even get a scratch

with cluster bombs you can hit sensitive military targets

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa on Israel:

Israel dealt with Syria in a negative way… bombing locations and violating the 1974 agreement.

This war would Iran would make Iran increase it's missiles and drones range.

iran will turn every mountain to a drone/missile factory/depot after this war

quantity has a quality of its own

iran will focus on quantity
this war is a proof of concept
100,000 missiles, 1 million suicide drones, unlimited fpv drones (from china)
and iran becomes unbeatable

geography means the entire gulf will remain hostages
regardless of how many interceptors and fighter jets they buy

this is why you see iran insisting on firm guarantees preventing the outbreak of a new war

not necessarily to get nukes
but so that they get 5-10 uninterrupted years of stockpiling missiles and drones at the fastest rate in recorded history
that is 2 years of pedolf and 8 years of a dem president

the most important takeaway from this war is the importance of self-sufficiency

in a hypothetical situation where nato is dissolved and usrael fights turkey
turkey will struggle

the bulk of their air defenses are western made
the bulk of their fighters are western made
the minute they lose a significant number of their jets from attrition within the first 2-3 weeks, they 'd be pounded till thy kingdom come
without response
and there'd be barely any new jet deliveries

good thing they have a lot of drones
but again that's because of their domestic production
and unless they relocate the factories deep underground, they'll be blown up as their air defense increasingly grows weaker

going forward, one metric of global firepower ranking should be self-sufficiency

to illustrate, india cannot fight china
on paper, they are peers
but in reality, china outmatches them in every metric that matters
it will not even be a fair fight

they'll be waiting for interceptors from foreign suppliers while china will be sending thousands of projectiles daily
on the flip side, china is not waiting for anyone and will be churning out interceptors in automated factories
from jets to drones to missiles to warships
of course, in a ground war, things will be more evenly matched courtesy of fpv drones
but if china pursues a ww2 style bombing campaign where they indiscriminately flatten everything before moving ground troops in
then even that fpv drone lever that's heavily in favor of defenders will be broken

Joe Kent:

Winding down the war is the right call, but for any peace agreement/exit plan to work we must restrain Israel 1st.

Israel will thwart any peace deal or come back to us in a few months demanding more support to topple the Ayatollahs & IRGC unless we restrain them now.

Restraining the Israelis means taking away the military aid & support they need to conduct offensive military ops in Iran.

JUST IN: Iran gave Russia its Shahed drones. Russia improved them in Ukraine. Now Western intelligence says Russia is shipping the upgraded versions back to Iran.

And the country that learned how to kill those drones on the battlefield just sent 228 experts to the Gulf to teach five countries how to do the same thing.

The full circle is extraordinary.

Iran supplied thousands of Shahed-136 kamikaze drones to Russia starting in 2022 for use against Ukraine. Russia rebranded them Geran-2 and, over three years of combat, upgraded the navigation systems, added anti-jamming capabilities, improved the engines, and refined the payload delivery. The Financial Times and AP reported on March 26 citing Western intelligence that Russia is now in the final stages of shipping those upgraded Geran-2 drones back to Iran’s IRGC, along with medicine and food supplies. Kremlin spokesman Peskov called the reports “lies” and “fake news dumps.”

Meanwhile, Zelensky arrived in Saudi Arabia on March 26 for an unannounced visit, met Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, signed a defense cooperation deal focused on air defense and drone expertise, and departed Jeddah on March 28. Ukraine has deployed 201 to 228 military drone specialists to five Gulf and Middle Eastern countries: the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan. Another 34 are ready per Zelensky’s statement on March 17.

These specialists are not there as a symbolic gesture. They bring the single most effective counter to Shahed drones that exists anywhere on earth.

Ukraine developed FPV interceptor drones that account for roughly 70 percent of all Shahed and Geran-2 shootdowns in Ukraine per Forces News and Atlantic Council reporting. The method: radar and acoustic sensors detect the incoming drone at 20 to 50 kilometres. A cheap, fast quadcopter or fixed-wing interceptor launches from a mobile platform. An operator pilots it at high speed toward the target. It destroys the Shahed through kamikaze collision or a small explosive payload on impact. Cost per intercept: a fraction of what a surface-to-air missile costs. Militarnyi reported on March 22 that Ukrainian teams have already confirmed multiple Shahed shootdowns in the Middle East.

The arms race running through this war is now a closed loop.

Iran builds the drone. Russia tests it, improves it, and allegedly sends the improved version back. Ukraine learns to kill it through three years of battlefield iteration. Ukraine exports that knowledge to the Gulf states Iran is attacking. The Gulf states pay Ukraine in money, technology, and diplomatic support. Russia denies everything while the drones fly in both directions.

This is not a bilateral conflict. It is a global drone ecosystem where every improvement by one side is studied, countered, and re-exported by the other. The Shahed that hits a refinery in Bahrain tonight may carry Russian-upgraded navigation. The interceptor that destroys it may be piloted by a Ukrainian operator trained in Zaporizhzhia. The defense deal that funded the deployment was signed in Jeddah while the war it was designed to address raged 1,500 kilometres to the northeast.

SpaceX’s Starlink provides the communications backbone for these teams in contested environments where terrestrial networks are degraded by the same war. The same helium shortage threatening semiconductor fabs and quantum computers is threatening the rocket launches that put Starlink satellites in orbit. The same strait carrying the oil carries the data cables that the drones are trying to protect.

Every domain connects through the same 39 kilometres of water.
