I don't hear anybody saying this: If Iran telegraphed their attack ahead of time, then their intentions were not to cause a terrible attack. It looks like the Iranians showed significant restraint and all they were after is respect. And as for Israel, they are talking about how successful their countermeasures were, but what would have happened if Iran didn't telegraph their intentions? If Israel retaliates again, we may find out.
Iran told them so Israel would use their Iron Dome against the slow drones. When Israel fired their Iron Dome systems.....Hezbollah then hit those Iron Dome systems. Then the more potent missiles came and got through. Israel got hit...successfully....from both ides. JewNN is fake news.
Iran released launch coordinates and trajectory to the united states, Uk, France and Jordan. It won't make sense until we know why they are working together.

This was a calibrated response from Iran. It was not meant to destroy but to show capability. Iran is not stupid and does not want a war with Isr and US. They literally stated that several times. This was to establish deterrence without an escalation.
What deterrence? Iran has no military capacity to deter Israel. They are literally begging at this moment for Netanyahu not to respond and just let this pass. Edit: and now that we know Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the Emirates actually helped protect Israel, Iran's failed attack has only exposed its total isolation. 🤣
@@redred222 Yes, just like Iranian revenge on Soleimani couple years ago, no follow up from the US after that, and that was it. Both Iran and Israel know the consequences, thus they choose to use proxy instead

I'm honestly astonished these people call themselves subject matter experts or analysts. This is shameful. Iran basically responded in a manner they knew wasn't going to cause actual damage, but to let them know not to mess around. "You slapped me, so I'll slap you". That's why they gave 72 hours notice before they did what they did. I mean you answered it yourself and are too arrogant to follow that train of thought. If they wanted to, they could have just fired everything from Lebanon. But giving notice and firing it from over 1000 miles away?
Was it really unexpected? There was a New York Times report a week ago that this would happen. As for the attack from Israel, I've been seeing comments about the Hamas leaders living it up in Iran, so maybe they know something we don't.
Stop the silly Grand Standing This is what the pathetic Islamist nation Iran has ... they don't have some magical overwhelming response ... and they are afraid of Israel and the nations that support Israel. Your last line is just silly melodrama
Besides the demonstration of strategic options and capabilities of Iran it also forced Israel to show it's hand and the various layers of defense it has, Iran essentially flicked in their direction and gained a massive intelligence gathering opportunity to see exactly how their enemy would react and how their tactics would fair and more importantly what to change about it in a future attack.

Yeah, and Wen could argue that Israel’s attack on that building near the embassy was as result of Iran, providing training and equipment, as well as funding to their proxies that they have instructed and assisted in in circling Israel and attacking them…
@@LizardFrosty I'm not sure I quite understand what you are trying to say since your writing is not so clear (no offense). But if I understand you correctly, you are insinuating that what happened to Iran's embassy was a result of them funding groups that encircle and pose an existential threat to Israel. I'm not going to go into details concerning the full extent of Iran's ACTUAL control (or lack thereof) of such groups but for the sake of argument, let's say that Iran completely funds and controls these groups. It would mean that Iran is engaged in a proxy war with Israel. Israel TOO, is engaged in a proxy war with Iran. Not only that, but Israel has allies and the US that protect it as well. They too engage in proxy wars. The point of a proxy war is to prevent a full blown escalation. So if one engages in a direct attack, they are the ones escalating the situation. Israel was the first to attack Iran (they bombed their embassy and killed some of their top military officials). Now here is the intelligence of Iran: they know that they HAVE to retaliate because if they don't, it's going to send a message to Israel that they can attack directly and nothing will happen. However, if they engage in a full-blown retaliation, it'll lead to a regional war and possibly WW3 (or nuclear war in that region). So what is Iran to do? They did the best thing under these conditions: they attacked Israel but in such a way that it wouldn't actually pose an existential threat to Israel. It sent the message to the world that Israel cannot be allowed to get away with breaking international law. It also sent a message to Israel and the US that they have the power to overwhelm their defenses. And it also sent a message to the world that the sane one here is Iran, that they do not want war, and the only ones trigger happy are Israel and the US.
Because it wasn’t an embassy or even a consulate but a building in the vicinity and Iran has no legs to stand on since they’re the prime shit stirrer in the region, arming, training and financing dozens of proxies to attack Israel at their behest. Come on, this is common knowledge
They not tired. They never have anything to do with the wars as they stay at home. Distance to countries and sea been a defense who allow one to go all in and sacrifice any backup plan since there is no need of one. You win as long you keep pushing and they always lose
@@JustLikeHeaven77 Wrong. Majority of the US is behind Israel. This is in Americas interest and a majority fully support us putting pressure on the middle east.
Analyst has this completely wrong: iran's response was symbolic, "telegraphed" and limited; they knew full well most of the missiles would be intercepted. And they did this precisely because on the one hand they couldn't let the bombing of their consulate in Damascus go without a response, but on the other hand they did not want to give the war---monger netanyahu an excuse to escalate and re-retaliate. They got it about right.
I think Israeli attack on Iran without US support would be non-existent , Israel is a lot more powerful than Iran , the Israeli military is more advanced and much more powerful , that is obvious , but the one caveat that is stopping an outright Israeli attack on Iran is Iran's small but substantial kilo submarine fleet but in any case I think the OIC should convene a meeting in Iran to send a clear message to Israel that any escalation by Israel is unacceptable . The last OIC meeting in Iran was in 1997 so a meeting in Iran is long overdue . All sides must abide by UN resolutions calling for a cease-fire . All sides must agree on a roadmap to a viable 2 state solution . Any escalation by Israel is unacceptable I don't support Israel or Hamas or Iran , but I just hope all sides agree on a peace deal
The entire world now knows the Iranian missiles are weak and easily defeated. It is estimated that Iran used up 10% of their inventory. They were absolutely trying to cause damage, but they can't, and now we know it. Now the Americans and allies know how to easily defeat these weapons. The next time it happens, 100% of Iranian weapons will be intercepted.

Sure they didn't. More than 350 missiles and drones because they "didn't" want to hit their target. More like you know they couldn't and just wasted the ammo while showing Israel that its defenses work.
If this was just a show for the Iranian population and they really didn’t want to kill anyone then why did the 5 missiles that made it through all hit a military air base including a troop barracks, why weren’t they pointed at empty desert if this was “just a show”? This was not intentional, Iran gave it the best they had and humiliated themselves in front of their proxies and the world.

This is funny, why didnt the Colonel mention anything about how much Israel and its allies spent on defending vs how much Iran spent on the attack? 20k-50k per shahed drone vs 100-150k per iron dome missile and 4mil per patriot missile. How is this sustainable for say weeks or months?

Had this been a surprise US and allies would have been overwhelmed by time. We would have only few hours and vast majority would have struck Israel

Iran told them that they were coming and still Iran was able to hit the targets that they wanted to hit…. They hit Israel military bases…. Don’t miss represent that
Sure, like Iran knew the US, UK, Jordan and Israel would intercept the drones. Iran attacked with three types of weapons that all take different times to arrive on target. Ballistic missiles are the only ones that can arrive quickly, the rest can't.
They literally told all their neighbors, and may have even told DC, of their plan days in advance. This was intentionally designed to allow them to show a response in retaliation for an attack on their diplomatic buildings without it escalating the situation. Israel started it, and when Iran is pushing back, they're claiming foul and saying Iran is escalating.
There had been speculation that Iran was launching the attack as a "save face" measure. Now hearing that they told Turkey what they were about to do that seems a bit more plausible.
@@ForeverBennett No, the damage to Israeli military bases starting to leak out now. That was a tiny bit of their cruise, drone and ballistic missile and it saturated Israel's defenses even with allies helping. Dumb provocation by Israel to attack Iran with their other problems going on.
@@RWZiggy Iran tipped off Turkey they were gonnna do it, obviously they knew that most of their projectiles would be intercepted. They just needed to save face like they did when they launched rockets at the US base in Iraq, all the missiles missed the base but hit near, killing nobody, but causing some degree of brain trauma to some. They missed on purpose. Israel hit Iran because Iran has been hitting them for decades via their proxies; Hamas and Hezbollah. Iran is the one behind them, pulling the strings.
Basically Iran told the US everyting and the "coalition" still failed to intercept many missiles that were intended to hit their targets. Iranian hypersonic missiles worked and the US, UK and Israel could not stop them even being told in advance. Period!
Thank you for this overview. It's amazing how far technology has come, and in a sense to cool the situation; no matter how the outcome may conclude in the coming days.
When you place a country in the middle of a region that has a much different cultural history, it either disappears or requires massive military expenditures to survive, Said differently, if the world isn't going to relocate Israel, we can expect to spend massive amounts of money sustaining its military for a very, very long time.

Isn't it obvious why Iran let on they were going to attack? This was an exercise for Iran to see how their drones would hold up against US/Israeli defenses. More coming down the pipeline.
Looks more like they wanted to save face with the people in the country who wanted a military response. Can't exactly retaliate with the US stationed at your backdoor threatening to melt you if you did.
No, it wasn't.. It was a face saving exercise by the Iranians, nothing more.. The purpose of the attack was just a kept promise, "You attack us, we will attack you back!" They knew that all of the missles and drones they sent were going to be destroyed by Israeli defenses, with the help of the U.S. and others. Why do you think they announced the attack when they did it and why they sent such slow-moving drones and missiles? They don't want a war like Israel wants. Their hand was forced because Israel bombed an Iranian embassy in Syria, so Iran had to respond. That's it!
Iran did the same thing with pre-signalling prior to their missile attack in 2020 on the Iraqi airbase Americans were using. The attack was intended to send a message, but not to inflict mass casualties.

In case anyone was wondering (like me): According to the Federation of American Scientists, a ballistic missile is one that has a ballistic trajectory over most of its flight path. What that means is that once the missile burns up the fuel that propels it, the missile keeps moving, the same way that a bullet does after it's been fired out of a gun. Once the fuel is gone, the missile's direction can't be altered. It follows a path determined by the speed of its launch and the force of gravity trying to pull it back toward the Earth's surface. Eventually, gravity guides the missile - and its payload, which might be an explosive, a chemical or biological weapon, or a nuclear device - down toward its target. Ballistic missiles are different than cruise missiles. Cruise missiles are self-propelled for the majority of their time in the air, flying in a relatively straight line and at lower altitudes thanks to a rocket propellant. Think of a ballistic missile's flight path as a large arc up and back down again, while that of a cruise missile - fired from a warship, for instance - is closer to a straight line.
Sad he won’t say that Iran gave USA 72 hours notice they’ll be launching a wave of drones to give them time to ready their defence. It was a limited strike to be a message that they can strike Israel if they wanted to. Their iron dome can be overwhelmed. Iran can afford to send these exact attacks everyday for months. Can the USA and Israel afford spending billions in air defences to prevent casualties?
In strict military perspective, this was a disaster for Israel. Inspite of intercept success rate, enough got through that would be concerning to Israel! The hard facts are that, Iran did not use hypersonic missiles, Israel and allies were well informed ahead of time of the strike and its extent which may not be available next time, and Yes, the war was fought above Israeli heads (air Space) not Iranian! Intercept rate is just away for Israel to save their face. Another way to look at it is that, enough missiles got through that the Iranians could wipe out or significantly degrade Israel's ability to wage a counter offensive in just one phase if they scale the offensive enough or involve hypersonic missiles!!!!!! Israeli's know this, so does America! This indeed is America's leverage over Israel's behavior. Israel can not count on America to avenge on their behalf if Iranians wipe out Israel's ability for a counter offensive in the above scenario. Bibi has to think twice before engaging in an escalation!!!
If that’s the case you don’t think Israel will do precisely just that? There is no way Iran can stop any missels from Israel in one strike Iran will be gone usa knows this that’s why they are telling israel not to retaliate Iran has weapons but no defensive measures they are sitting ducks and israel has adjusted and found flaws in the dome which will be adressed Iran helped israel more then they think now they better hope israel does not go all out because Iran won’t even have the chance to defend or retaliate it’s a very dangerous situation on both ends usa does not want more escalation from anyone and they are right to be worried

Has Leighton got it wrong when he says the Iranian strike was a failure because most of the missiles were shoot down. Can he not admit that the cost in hardware to America ,Britain etc had been great for a very low input cost to Iran. How much has it cost the West ,and still some damage has been done to Israeli bases , just a trial run for Iran, and next time ,if they have to will deplete the defenses even more , ie wear down the capacity of the collective west ,attritional tactics like the Russians have been very successful in Ukraine. What ever chance Ukraine had of getting extra military hardware from any NATO Country up until now ,that chance is gone ,and the more that Israel provokes Iran, what little military hardware is left will quickly be redirected to the middle east. Unless the collective west introduce Nuclear weapons to various conflicts ,all Russia, Iran, N Korea ,and China has to do is continue to bleed the west ,demilitarize the west .Time is not on the side of The West.
Because the cost does not matter in terms of the success or failure of the attack. Did any missiles hit any important targets that would degrade Israel’s ability to defend itself? No? FAIL Iran’s stuff is cheap because it’s primitive crap. We have so much more weaponry and the capacity to build more if we need to. We’re far more wealthy than Iran and we even have old but still capable weapons that we can fall back on if for some reason this goes on for any length of time. Time is on the side of the west. I don’t know where you’re getting your information but you should find a better source because you’re embarrassing yourself.
why do their advertising vids of the iron dome show hypersonic rockets being launched and then the nightime "in action" vids show what appear to simply be relatively slow-moving fireworks?
@deloughi1887 no they don't. If they want to live in Israel, that's their own decision and responsibility. The US doesn't have the duty to protect every US citizen who decides to leave the country. Dual citizenship shouldn't even be a thing.
Actually, they are celebrating the attack. Now they have new informations on how Israel and Its allies coodenate and how they can overcome that. They aren't as stupids as those pundits think.
Yeeeah, no. The opposite actually. Israelis now know that Iranians are incompetent, if they need so much firepower to break 1 chair on some Israeli military base. Also Iranians are literally defenseless if Israel decides to do the same.
And this is with an early notification from the iranian authorities. Imagine an attack without warning, while using their most sophisicated missiles. The whole outcome would be very different indeed and i believe israelis know that better than anyone else.
This was not an attack for hostiles. This was primarily a symbolic retaliation, and secondarily a military-intelligence gathering mission. The strike itself has enabled Iran to spot current armament locations by observing interceptions during the attack, and post-attack they would be surveilling vehicle movement when they restock those defences, which means Israel is left far more vulnerable after the attack. The only win Israel got is that it didn't fall short of the capabilities Iran already supposed it had.
So in the event of an actual war, Iran would use only ballistic and hypersonic missiles combined with drone swarms and decoy rocket salvos from Lebanon, Iraq and Syria.....without a week's heads-up of course. Imagine if they also got their hands on a few Kinzhals. The real equation looks a lot different.

I think Irans message was it's not OK to go after an embassy
Odd how that wasn't part of the topic
Yeah, and Wen could argue that Israel’s attack on that building near the embassy was as result of Iran, providing training and equipment, as well as funding to their proxies that they have instructed and assisted in in circling Israel and attacking them…
@@LizardFrosty I'm not sure I quite understand what you are trying to say since your writing is not so clear (no offense). But if I understand you correctly, you are insinuating that what happened to Iran's embassy was a result of them funding groups that encircle and pose an existential threat to Israel. I'm not going to go into details concerning the full extent of Iran's ACTUAL control (or lack thereof) of such groups but for the sake of argument, let's say that Iran completely funds and controls these groups. It would mean that Iran is engaged in a proxy war with Israel. Israel TOO, is engaged in a proxy war with Iran. Not only that, but Israel has allies and the US that protect it as well. They too engage in proxy wars.
The point of a proxy war is to prevent a full blown escalation. So if one engages in a direct attack, they are the ones escalating the situation. Israel was the first to attack Iran (they bombed their embassy and killed some of their top military officials). Now here is the intelligence of Iran: they know that they HAVE to retaliate because if they don't, it's going to send a message to Israel that they can attack directly and nothing will happen. However, if they engage in a full-blown retaliation, it'll lead to a regional war and possibly WW3 (or nuclear war in that region). So what is Iran to do? They did the best thing under these conditions: they attacked Israel but in such a way that it wouldn't actually pose an existential threat to Israel. It sent the message to the world that Israel cannot be allowed to get away with breaking international law. It also sent a message to Israel and the US that they have the power to overwhelm their defenses. And it also sent a message to the world that the sane one here is Iran, that they do not want war, and the only ones trigger happy are Israel and the US.
Because it wasn’t an embassy or even a consulate but a building in the vicinity and Iran has no legs to stand on since they’re the prime shit stirrer in the region, arming, training and financing dozens of proxies to attack Israel at their behest. Come on, this is common knowledge
Wasn't an embassy. It was a building next to one.

That’s right, so what? Do something about it. Or just go ahead and shut up.
Analyst has this completely wrong: iran's response was symbolic, "telegraphed" and limited; they knew full well most of the missiles would be intercepted. And they did this precisely because on the one hand they couldn't let the bombing of their consulate in Damascus go without a response, but on the other hand they did not want to give the war---monger netanyahu an excuse to escalate and re-retaliate. They got it about right.
I think Israeli attack on Iran without US support would be non-existent , Israel is a lot more powerful than Iran , the Israeli military is more advanced and much more powerful , that is obvious , but the one caveat that is stopping an outright Israeli attack on Iran is Iran's small but substantial kilo submarine fleet but in any case I think the OIC should convene a meeting in Iran to send a clear message to Israel that any escalation by Israel is unacceptable . The last OIC meeting in Iran was in 1997 so a meeting in Iran is long overdue .
All sides must abide by UN resolutions calling for a cease-fire . All sides must agree on a roadmap to a viable 2 state solution . Any escalation by Israel is unacceptable
I don't support Israel or Hamas or Iran , but I just hope all sides agree on a peace deal
The entire world now knows the Iranian missiles are weak and easily defeated. It is estimated that Iran used up 10% of their inventory. They were absolutely trying to cause damage, but they can't, and now we know it. Now the Americans and allies know how to easily defeat these weapons. The next time it happens, 100% of Iranian weapons will be intercepted.

This was exactly what happened to Iran on April 1, and this is not a joke.
Why?
In case anyone was wondering (like me):
According to the Federation of American Scientists, a ballistic missile is one that has a ballistic trajectory over most of its flight path. What that means is that once the missile burns up the fuel that propels it, the missile keeps moving, the same way that a bullet does after it's been fired out of a gun. Once the fuel is gone, the missile's direction can't be altered. It follows a path determined by the speed of its launch and the force of gravity trying to pull it back toward the Earth's surface. Eventually, gravity guides the missile - and its payload, which might be an explosive, a chemical or biological weapon, or a nuclear device - down toward its target.
Ballistic missiles are different than cruise missiles. Cruise missiles are self-propelled for the majority of their time in the air, flying in a relatively straight line and at lower altitudes thanks to a rocket propellant. Think of a ballistic missile's flight path as a large arc up and back down again, while that of a cruise missile - fired from a warship, for instance - is closer to a straight line.

Sad he won’t say that Iran gave USA 72 hours notice they’ll be launching a wave of drones to give them time to ready their defence. It was a limited strike to be a message that they can strike Israel if they wanted to. Their iron dome can be overwhelmed.
Iran can afford to send these exact attacks everyday for months. Can the USA and Israel afford spending billions in air defences to prevent casualties?
In strict military perspective, this was a disaster for Israel. Inspite of intercept success rate, enough got through that would be concerning to Israel! The hard facts are that, Iran did not use hypersonic missiles, Israel and allies were well informed ahead of time of the strike and its extent which may not be available next time, and Yes, the war was fought above Israeli heads (air Space) not Iranian! Intercept rate is just away for Israel to save their face. Another way to look at it is that, enough missiles got through that the Iranians could wipe out or significantly degrade Israel's ability to wage a counter offensive in just one phase if they scale the offensive enough or involve hypersonic missiles!!!!!!
Israeli's know this, so does America! This indeed is America's leverage over Israel's behavior. Israel can not count on America to avenge on their behalf if Iranians wipe out Israel's ability for a counter offensive in the above scenario. Bibi has to think twice before engaging in an escalation!!!

@@lazymp9046 I studied journalism in school and worked for a school newspaper and had thoughts of being a journalist!!! But you're right what would I know about journalism in this day and age 😂😂
yep a lot of it is bullshit sadly. just gotta hope a nuclear war doesnt start cuz we aint got no fallout shelters :')
I feel bad for any country that has to border Iran
Thanks for the assistance britan. Your a good friend
The mind is a trickery thing as most minds will never understand what AMV33X means even though you could know within five minutes or less if you had one
Has Leighton got it wrong when he says the Iranian strike was a failure because most of the missiles were shoot down. Can he not admit that the cost in hardware to America ,Britain etc had been great for a very low input cost to Iran. How much has it cost the West ,and still some damage has been done to Israeli bases , just a trial run for Iran, and next time ,if they have to will deplete the defenses even more , ie wear down the capacity of the collective west ,attritional tactics like the Russians have been very successful in Ukraine. What ever chance Ukraine had of getting extra military hardware from any NATO Country up until now ,that chance is gone ,and the more that Israel provokes Iran, what little military hardware is left will quickly be redirected to the middle east. Unless the collective west introduce Nuclear weapons to various conflicts ,all Russia, Iran, N Korea ,and China has to do is continue to bleed the west ,demilitarize the west .Time is not on the side of The West.
Because the cost does not matter in terms of the success or failure of the attack. Did any missiles hit any important targets that would degrade Israel’s ability to defend itself? No? FAIL
Iran’s stuff is cheap because it’s primitive crap. We have so much more weaponry and the capacity to build more if we need to. We’re far more wealthy than Iran and we even have old but still capable weapons that we can fall back on if for some reason this goes on for any length of time. Time is on the side of the west. I don’t know where you’re getting your information but you should find a better source because you’re embarrassing yourself.
Nobody cares about those costs. It actually contributes to economy

why do their advertising vids of the iron dome show hypersonic rockets being launched and then the nightime "in action" vids show what appear to simply be relatively slow-moving fireworks?
We've given so much to Israel. We need to back off! Let Netanyahu get his just due. Not dragging the US into something that will escalate!
Who will really suffer? Not the politicians. If Arafat had done the peace deal this wouldn’t be an issue.
More than 500,000 U.S. citizens live in Israel, they deserve protection just as much as you do..
Not possible. US owns Israel. Isreal is basically a US outpost.
@deloughi1887 no they don't. If they want to live in Israel, that's their own decision and responsibility. The US doesn't have the duty to protect every US citizen who decides to leave the country. Dual citizenship shouldn't even be a thing.
@@deloughi1887 those "US citizens" pretend to be patriotic Americans but are loyal to izreael

Iranians had to respond to their ambassy attack from Israel to save face, but they didn't want to kill anyone with those very slow drones.
Both sides learned a lot from this exercise.
Smart man can you pls also explain at whose cost you were doing all of this?
people's, of course. poor always pay twice.
still early paining $7 gallon for that victory more prices for everything did we really win
What are you talking about?
Actually, they are celebrating the attack. Now they have new informations on how Israel and Its allies coodenate and how they can overcome that. They aren't as stupids as those pundits think.
Yeeeah, no. The opposite actually. Israelis now know that Iranians are incompetent, if they need so much firepower to break 1 chair on some Israeli military base.
Also Iranians are literally defenseless if Israel decides to do the same.
I am amazed they mentioned devastating effects on Ukrainian cities and zero mention of Gaza. And i think by this time, everyone knows the reason why
And this is with an early notification from the iranian authorities.
Imagine an attack without warning, while using their most sophisicated missiles. The whole outcome would be very different indeed and i believe israelis know that better than anyone else.
Iran has the right to defend itself
this whole denfence was impressive
Not really.
These drones are going 90 MPH.
Really.
@@wisdomhumility Exactly my friend. Hence, the whole Izrael defense thing is no big whoop.
@@johnsmith1953xsure no big whoop. But if those missiles and drones were going to Iran they would of all hit land
@@johnsmith1953xwhat about the 120 ballistic missiles (about 15,000 mph)?
This was not an attack for hostiles. This was primarily a symbolic retaliation, and secondarily a military-intelligence gathering mission. The strike itself has enabled Iran to spot current armament locations by observing interceptions during the attack, and post-attack they would be surveilling vehicle movement when they restock those defences, which means Israel is left far more vulnerable after the attack. The only win Israel got is that it didn't fall short of the capabilities Iran already supposed it had.
imagine any other country being protected this much
So in the event of an actual war, Iran would use only ballistic and hypersonic missiles combined with drone swarms and decoy rocket salvos from Lebanon, Iraq and Syria.....without a week's heads-up of course. Imagine if they also got their hands on a few Kinzhals. The real equation looks a lot different.
and isreal thinks there in danger they can end the war with one button lets see if iran can stop that i bet they cant
Ok... but you forgot that israel is also going to attack...
@@yaronzehtser4523you forget that Russia will also assist Iran
@XiPingPong19 by now, most independent analysts are certain that Iran has breakout technology...that they could rush a few warheads through if they wanted. By the time thus war does come around, they'll have some of their own, MAD
Iran has the right to defend itself and so do the Palestinians.
So do the Israelis
@@mrDredd1966 Considering their definition of self-defense is the Jenno Side of 40,000 unarmed civilians, 70% of which are women and children, most of them small children. I say no.
@ChristinaGerlach you joined 5 months ago, calm down. Your head will go insane mode if it hasn't already.
The evil state of Iran will always be on the losing side. They lost to Iraq. The little boys with fake airplanes and unshaved beards will now lose to the great state of Israel. Good always overcomes evil. The evil state will be defeated again. After all they arrest and execute their woman and children in the name of the morality police.

The point of this attack was that Isreal and the USA had to DEFEND the attacks. The attacks were wide spread, so that Iran could understand completely how and where the defense would come from. It cost over $1BN in one night to defend one attack. And actually many of the balistic missles (the ones designed to get through the iron dome) got through. This was a major victory for Iran. How many nights of $1BN cost to the US and a few hundred thousand dollar cost to Iran, will be sustainable?
We need to stay out of this nightmare.
That’s what Hitler was telling us. So now you are saying the same thing.
Ukraine is always the whipping post. Where are the Brits, and French, and Americans for help? We don't want to provoke Russia!
I think the difference is Iran doesn't have a nuke.
@@RajDeelishthey are close to having one.
I think russia should just donate several to iran same way nato all share nukes and israel has several
Don’t!!
Thanks iran 🇮🇷
Iran has the right to defend itself. Hitting an embassy is against un charter.

There’s no way Iran knew all these missiles would be neutralized. There’s no way they expected half their missiles to fail at launch or in flight.
Lol. If I knew, and we all knew Iron dome would intercept them, I think Iran would know too Einstein
Very clear...
As always,a true American.
The intention by Iran was maybe to stop violence.
