For real
great poem, bless you
Im too old to be drafted so idc. Let the zoomers be the next ww3 combatants.
@@cruisingscenesandtakingbea4197 Looking at how the draft is going on with Ukraine, I won't be that certain.
Middle East going to war?? What a novel and unprecedented series of events.
usually such a peaceful and tolerant place
It's almost like decades of American backed coups, uprisings, puppet installations and political interference has led to instability in the region. Crazy idea, I know
@@VinnieG- if ppl didnt bother them it wouldnt be an issue.
Its rich coming from someone i presume is from the west. After killing millions in iraq and afghanistan, the bs vietnam war. The massacres done throughout history by the west, and they still have the balls to actually think their in some sort of moral high ground. U guys are about 2 million deaths ahead of iran so dnt bother talking about being peaceful and tolerant.
Sad truth is that it'll affect the global economy
instigated by the establishment
The audio dude figured out the music levels! Much respect *salutes* and thank you for adjusting!
Underrated appreciation
Safe to say they’ve been doing this for a while 😂
Full length episode please. Thanks for the hard work, kudos to you and your team
This entire conflict in a nutshell is both sides screaming "THEY STARTED IT! WE'RE JUST DEFENDING OURSELVES" while repeatedly punching each other in the back of the heads.

Man, you still gotta wait for the prerelease trash, the actual release trash, 6 months of updates, an eventual major 2.0 update that changes 90% of the game, and then 24 months in it will run 30% stable on a $5000 PC.
Just wait until the CZcams video click bait titles tell you the game has been fixed. That’s the real release date.
@@user-me8hc3bs7iWhich is why PC is trash for gaming on a budget when a 500$ console can do 4k 120hz due to being better optimized more standardised parts etc.
@trevorslinkard31 tbf rockstar have never released a bad game. They are the only good ones left
I second the motion of a full-length episode. I love a little more in-depth analysis. Especially the one you and your team put together
I know you needed time to research verify and edit but I’ve been visiting the channel waiting for this exposé for days
Russia calling for restraint while knee deep in a war 🧐
If iran goes into war than all those iranian sales to russia go kaput. So yeah, russia doesn't want that escalation at all. Also, russia just shot itself in the foot with this one cause now israel fully sees russia as an iranian ally which in turn drives israel foreign policy to ally itself with ukrainian interests, something israel haf avoided this far.
Thing is in the caucasus, things are even more complicated.
Thats exactly why they are calling for restrain Russia cant take a ww3. Their economy will break even harder
And to add on, a full-scale war involving the West in the Middle East will force Russia to intervene on Iran's side, something Russia cannot afford to do now. The domestic political costs will be far more significant, rivaling the Afghan campaign, and be potentially regime-ending.
@@puraLusa Russia and China gave the green light to Iran so idk where you getting your info if it’s from CNN then I’m sure you are getting all lies. Russia it’s wining and I’m sure they want revenge for that attack the USA was part of.
Russia's been surprisingly exercising restraint in Ukraine. They only took out the powerplants and electrical grid very recently, after Ukraine started blowing up civilian infrastructure in Russia with drones. At least, the drones were officially from Ukraine. If I were a Balt I'd be nervous right now.
Please give a full length episode! Thanks for uploading. Have a wonderful day!

Welcome to the family g. Simon's channels are always 🔥
He's going for the internet itself 😂. I've just found this channel...thought I'd got them all but Simon Whistler is everywhere
Keep the splendid work simon you're actually delivering facts non stop i wish more people would learn from you
If anything the attack shows Iran much prefers proxy warfare over anything direct.
Sounds like someone else I know
wonder where they learned that?
By them directly attacking Israel? Thats a pretty ridiculous translation.
Doing so from a distance is not a proxy attack, this attack was literally them changing from using proxies to direct involvement.
@@Vatsyayana87 They were forced to respond directly, cause Iranian soil was attacked.
In an attempt to avoid escalation into a direct war while being able to say they retaliated at the same time, they telegraphed their attack so that actual damage would be extremely limited. Then they sent out the message that for them, the matter was resolved.
They're clearly trying to avoid a direct conflict.
Most of the missiles were launched from Iran direct. There were coordinated launches with paramilitary proxy groups in addition to the salvo launched from, again, Iran.
Did you watch the video?
yeah a full video on how this war might go please!
I love your content and only hope to support the channel. Can you look into reducing the 'S' sound? Any word that has an S in it peaks out the microphone. You can reduce the peak in post. Thank you for providing us information foe years!
I would like to see a full breakdown of all of this from you guys! Bless all involved!
I am amazed by this man's apparent untirednees
He goes hard

Lmaoo fr, but grateful I really love his presentation skills
His coffee bill is through the roof
He's a fuckin hippy
Would love to see a more detailed look at how that war could look, always educational when you do these videos
I was waiting for this. Please make a 2 hour episode 😊
Well done. I follow this situation pretty closely and almost clicked away thinking I already knew most of it. However I kept going and was very impressed. You presented new information and images as well as discussing reasonable scenarios. Keep it up!
Excellent episode.. definitely “yes” to the proposed episode on the Middle East war
I was waiting for this one after that night,
Please do an episode on how a full war in the Middle East might play out! I really like your reporting style; it is engaging and deeply informative even to those of us with minimal background knowledge while not seeming overly biased towards either side--very much a "here are the facts as we understand them" approach, particularly with how you have included quotes from either side. I only just discovered this channel, but I am very much a fan thus far.
Gotta do a full episode deep dive! This is head and shoulders above anything we get in the main stream news, and non-biased to boot!
great job simon and team as always
According to CZcams, you commented this in less minutes after the vid was posted than the length of the video. Why would you do that? Did you love the intro?
@@GaraGaraVideo the material was published at an opportune time which is worthy of commendation in itself, but their track record of consistently impressive reporting mainly drove my assumption
@basedvegan "great job... as always" for posting a video you hadn't watched yet

@@GaraGaraVideothis comment section is full of bots, you will notice it scattered throughout all the top comments. The video has a highly political topic so they’re probably censoring all the real top comments
I'd like to see a full-length episode of analysis of the conflict. Thanks for keeping us up to date, Simon and team.
Love your work - Great reporting. Thank you
Great informative video as always, well done guys
Full length episode would be great Simon
Thanks!
Appreciate the low emotion analysis as always! More analysis is always good, sounds like it's your choice whether to do it ahead of time or retrospectively...
Amazing channel doing amazing work!
Hi Simon, could you do a run down of how this conflict turn into a wider war and who could become involved? Love the channel. Cheers
They gave the US a 72 hour head start to prepare for the attack and said exactly where they were planning to attack
Thanks for the coverage.
I'd really like to see that video Simon, and this one was very well done and informative too!
I’ve waited for this video.
Yes, a full episode seems in order
We definitely need a full length episode on this developing situation.
This channel and it's content is put together very well. Thank you warographics for keeping us informed

It is quite biased sir
@@lukamarkov9243how so? Provide some specific examples for it being "quite biased"
I literally referenced this channel as media with a western bias just the other day mate. Its a very western-biased channel so unless youre talking about unbiased in terms of western politics… yes they do a good job of that. But no this channel is super biased. It was only recently that they were talking about ukraine as if it was pummeling russia and that hasnt been true for almost a whole year now.
@@The_Lunch_Mando your own research dude nobody has time to spoon feed you

I feel like people are missing the point that it’s not how Iran reacted, it’s how Israel will retaliate.
They will act out like a bully they finally got punched back.
@@Itsoperated more of a tickle than a punch
@@Itsoperated 1% of munitions got through? Y'all are acting like war is like sperm fertilizing an egg or something 🤣🤣 we got one through the defense!! We won!!! Hooray! Praise be to the goats or w.e.

Show me the war scenarios Simon. I need to scratch the 'what if' part of my brain
Great breakdown of the situation!
Great explanation.
It really sucks when you have this much work to do, love your content but I wish there was less stuff to cover.
This are always great to get a brief idea of what is going on around the world
9:10 I appreciate that you all emphasized that this was a _retaliatory_ strike from Iran -- I've seen too much coverage that ignores or downplays that aspect.
It’s kind of a useless point but sure it matters
Normally “self defence” is instant, not a week after and you don’t normally tell the world you’re going to attack 🤣
@@9n3-you quoted them as saying 'self-defence' even though they didn't, then criticised them for using words they didn't use. 🤪
@9n3- wdym, ofc it's a valid point. Big difference between "Iran attacks Israel" and Iran attacks Israel in response to Israeli airstrike"
@@XhoowieX obviously
@@9n3-isn't what Israel did retaliatory by that logic? Considering Iran runs all the groups attacking them rn?
Full length episode please!
Another great summary and analysis of a geopolitical flashpoint. Thanks for being an objective and informative news source. I would greatly appreciate an in-depth analysis of the downstream implications of a full blown Israeli-Iranian war (e.g. the impact on global oil supplies).
Thanks ChatGPT
Iran sends a few tens of millions worth of ordinances, Israel defends itself by expending an estimated $1 billion in air defense capability… Not exactly a win for Israel either I’d say.
IDK- what % of their capabilities were used? If Iran's "a few tens of millions" was a more significant % of their capabilities than Israel's $1 billion then it was a clear win.
The US expended most of the effort downing the attack.
Israel has almost limitless funds. Iran doesn't. Was certainly a win for arms manufacturers.
@@adamabbas1487 Not Israel, say that the US tax payers will be paying for their limitless funds as they have been.
That’s one data point, another would be to calculate what assets were protected and what would be the cost of replacement. If a billion dollars was spent to save 100 billion dollars in assets then it was a clear win in defense regardless of the cost to attack.
Full episode please! We love you Simon, respect from the Kurds!
Full-length episode please!
Yes! A full episode please.
I think we definitely need to deep dive this given its gravitas.
Look up Colonel Douglas Macgregor. The man is well informed about the Israel Iran situation.

It never occurred to me before but it makes sense in a twisted sort of way that the national equivalent of body language involves getting people killed.
It’s as though we’ve collectively forgotten the difference between an attack, and a response……..
More long form content on this situation please.
The One piece better be reveled before the world goes to chaos.
I have yet to watch to the end so I don't know if it's mentioned but something that is rarely mentioned is the fact that even Saudi Arabia was involved in the defense. Though they never formally contacted Israel and co. as far as I'm aware. But when the dust settled, Saudi officials released a statement claiming they believe the entire war was engineered by Iran to drive a wedge between the normalisation negotiations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. This specific attack might ironically bring more peace lol
The Saudi's were involved? That's interesting.
@@ltkreg I know, right!? I was really surprised to hear that myself! But if you think about it, it makes perfect sense! Considering the distance and scale of the attack, some drones and missiles probably went through Saudi airspace, where they were shot down.
The saudis would prefer that Israel and Iran don’t turn a pissing match into full blown world war next door to them.
@@user-me8hc3bs7i Yeah. It'd probably be just the bit of headache as it would be for both Israel and Iran.
@@eyalamit5120 they want to make their country not dependent on oil
Surely the financial cost is far worse for Israel, no? All those defense systems cost more to run than the Iranian weaponry.
Yup, you're right. Supposedly iran called the drone "suicide drones" basically saying they're waste. This video missed a lot
@@mannyperez4010lmao they are called suicide drones because they deploy their munitions by flying into the target as opposed to a plane firing a rocket.
Probably you're right. However we don't know how much Isreal actually pays for rockets manufacturered in Israel nor how much knowledge they gain into target priorities etc when defending against large-scale strikes. Plus a big moral boost
Yeah, Simon is pretty off the mark.
Usa tax Money mostly.
In words of Mr. Smith.. more more more.. your insights are great. Thanks!
Full length please!!!
Love this channel every video is a must watch
Why fluttershy interested in global conflict?
Excellent and informative. I’d almost forgotten what’s it’s like to hear a discussion of facts rather than a stream of biased rhetoric.
Yes definitely a full length video on what a war between Israel and Iran would look like. I appreciate your work, it’s fascinating!
Thank you.
Something I feel missed in the analysis is the cost and amount of Isreali defence, I think I read somewhere that the Isreali defence of the attack was 10 times more expensive then the Iranian attack, and in the case of full blown war the "Iron dome" will likly be occupied with Hizaballa attacks from Lebanon
By a country with a GDP ten times higher than the other? They can well afford it. so much so that it is often not even a significant factor for consideration.
@@huaiweiIran has a gdp of ~415 billion and Israel has a gdp of ~535 billion usd so no
@@huaiweiwhat 10 times higher lol? They are close to each other.
@@huaiweiThen why do they need so much aid from the US?
What was the value of the targets though. If a drone costs $6,000, the interceptor cost $50,000, and the intended target is worth $5,000,000, who wins
Hey dear editor/studio person could you try softening Simons S sounds a bit?
I have to change my EQ to lower 6K to 14K by -6 DB but it's still too sharp/harsh in my opinion.
Do the video on the possible war.
Interesting video thanks.
Great analysis! I would like to see what a hypothetical escalation might look like
I think you're missing the point of the attack was to highlight how expensive these air defences are.... It is estimated that it cost Israel over $1 Billion to repel that attack whereas it would have cost Iran roughly $100 million.
How long would that be sustainable and how quickly can they be replenished in the event of a hot war with Iran?
pretty easily, we paid for it.
Air defense is always far more expensive for self explanatory reasons.
america pays so no worries
I appreciate your semi non biased assessment, keep up the good work
Non biased? It took them 4 months to admit the Ukraine counter offensive failed…..

You said Israel's assault was largely unsucceful at 4:22 but I think you meant Iran's 😅
Thanks, I had to rewind back because I thought I had misheard.
Iran give them a heads up that they were gonna launch the attack like a couple of hours before, if they had told them nothing most targets would've been hit 😂
Irans attack was just to show that they can attack Israel directly easily and not to do much damage 😅
@@asapsam3403 they were given 72 hours notice not a couple of hours lmao
Well spotted! I had to listen twice to be sure.
Good morning, Ishfahan )
We must have the full episode 🎉
yes full length episode please
One of the best channels on CZcams
It's a bit disingenuous to call the attack "perplexing", Simon. Israel did openly attack an Iranian consulate, which is a violation of international law.
Yeah, and even a cursory look would show Iran REPEATEDLY said this is why they did this...
The difference is Iran didn't attack civilians in this while Israel goes after people that can't shoot back, like aid workers, paramedics and children.
Don't get me wrong. No fan of Iran at all. But they have a right to defend themselves.
Same could be said about Iran supporting and directly giving resources to Hamas. That's hardly an innocent bystander or impartial observer. Israel can't be surprised at Iran shooting back anymore than Iran can act outraged at their thinly-veiled proxy war finally getting back to them.
I disagree. It's perplexing because the attack failed so miserably, and Iran should have known its own capabilities before attacking. And then being wishy washy about the goals achieved.
@@The_Lunch_ManDid it though? Base they were trying to hit did get hit. On top of that Iran got endless information from this.
@@joshuabryant9845 it did. If 99% of your munitions fail to reach your intented target, and those that did were inaccurate and did negligible damage to your intended target, it's a failure. And a bad one at that. Iran gained nothing. They already knew about Israel's defense systems. They were only reminded that the west will defend Israel if directly attacked.
Simon do you ever take breaks !!!! Love all your channels
Great work.
Lets not forget Iran's long history of disregard to foreign embassies. Seems a bit hypocritical for them to blame Israel, when it wasn't even the embassy itself, rather a building in the compound, which served to coordinate attacks against Israel...
1979 - The US embassy in Iran is attacked and embassy employees are held captive
2011 - UK embassy in Iran is attacked
1992 - Israel's embassy in Argentina is bombed, killing 29, Argentina's court found Iran was behind the bombing.
2 wrongs don't make a right.
Lets be honest if Israel wasnt a huge threat to peace in middle eastern countries they wouldnt attacked them like how they dont like Us. Us did a lot of damage in middle east just like Israel Us is directly fucking around Iran fpr decades and they do not have good relationship obviously same for UK.
@@mannyperez4010this ain’t children fighting
@dylangabriel2703 my point stands. Just because it was done, doesn't mean it should be done.
@@mannyperez4010 True, but it ends your ability to be an aggrieved party and be taken seriously. Israel could easily say this was a tit for tat response for '92.
Isn't attacking embassy grounds just the same as attacking the sovereign territory of the embassy's nation?
or did I hear you just blurt out it isn't Simon?
It wasn't the embassy, it was an adjacent building. There was never a syrian-israel oficial peace deal, so syria and israel are still technically at war.
Yep it was a building next to the embassy

@@puraLusa do you think people are idiots?
Had Iran chosen to swallow its pride and host that meeting in, say Saudi Arabia, Israel would have left it well enough alone. The Sauds are basically the only muslim nation Israel is on somewhat amiable terms with, while Iran hates them.as much as Israel itself.
Israel took an oppertunity given they and Syria are still at war by nature, so frankly, while a move even WE Americans dissapprove of, its an.oppertunity we also fully understand.
Israel didnt waste their chance to really hurt Irans coand structure. Replacing fanatics is cheap, replacing veterans, top advisors and generals especially...thats far, far harder than even replacing tanks. Thats an asset Iran CANT replace effectively.
No mistake tho: Israels taking some VERY brutal means to show theyre DONE doing this the Wests way.
And damningly: Its getting more results in a few months than we Americans accumilated in Iraq in 20 years
@@jameskarg3240 Israel is only doing all this because your nation is too afraid to criticize them. Let's face it, the US is just Israel's puppet.

Lots of help
Have you seen how big his team is? He's got more people helping him across his various channels than some MSM outlets.
Simon has a very popular channel so he can afford to hire talented help.
Simon is just a talking head that works for a company that creates videos for him to read out. These aren't actually "his channels".
@@saphironkindris No i haven't. How big is his team?
I honestly think although they had a general knowledge Nato and the west in a whole are more powerful. I don't think Iran realised exactly how advanced the UK, USA and IDFs Air defense systems truly we're, or the fact of how well organised the five eyes, nato and west are. There's been a long assumption nato are asleep. That clearly isn't true and if they didnt before, Iran now know that taking us head on in an all out war is mass suicide.
Islamic terrorists are quite fond of suicide especially if it's their followers suicide.
The USA can fight two superpowers and few smaller wars and still be fine as designed
Nato has nothing to do with this. Israel isn't nato.

Warographic is giving me a better understanding of what is going on...than the actual news😮thank you.
If Iran wanted to do real damage, they wouldn’t have warned other arab countries days before the attack, which in turn warned Israel.
My god, can you please at least give a bit more context!?
I feel like you are brushing over the kind of importance intel on Israeli defenses are to Iran - If things don't tone down they hypothetically have more intel they can utilize against Israel
Iran has satellites and friends with satellites and data from decades of attacks on Israel from Palestine.
They know just about everything regarding their defences and still underestimated its effectiveness.
