I support Iran’s defensive actions against Israeli aggression. I hope Iran chooses military and intelligence targets instead of civilian ones, in compliance with international law, despite Israel targeting primarily civilians in their war of conquest.
Well said. Lawful engagement is the only way if anyone is going to hold that kind of power. American hegemony has proven itself thoroughly hypocritical, time and time again. It's attack dog in the middle east is holding the leash. Rule of law must reign - but never forget its our collective responsibility to write and uphold just laws for the collective.
Hopefully this retaliation will be enough to scare Israel straight. However, I am concerned that it will lead further escalation and greater US involvement..
It won't. Unfortunately this is not even a propportional response. I highly doubt attack on Gaza will be reduced, and I only hope Israel won't use this as pretext to attack Iran even more.
USA should keep there feets and hands down on this one. This isn't an affair that need their involvement.
They are already shooting down drones so no chance of that.
We could easily have spent enough to pay tuition for every engineering student in the US for the year this evening.
I hope Israel does not use this as pretext for escalation. Wouldn't be surprising if the genocidal state pursues this.
let's be real, the genocide would have continued regardless of the attack, this fued has been going for years this attack is a drop in the bucket really. It's only going to be used an an excuse for international support at this point but, eventually I expect international support will waiver
Some cool footage of the attack.
Looks like they couldn't intercept all of them.
Looks both terrifying and beautiful
Cool video thanks for linking it.
Looks like taxpayers are footing a nice bill again
They sent drones? From Iran?
Si. We're about to see how the iron dome stands against it. Maybe Iran has figured out a way to bypass Israeli defences...
Unlikely, we’ve seen Iranian drones in action in Ukraine and they’re not particularly special. I bet Israel shoots them all down.
I see someone's never played StarCraft. Zerg rush is absolutely a viable strategy. How many rockets are loaded and ready to go in one area at any given time?
Probably not. It's one of if not the most sophisticated air-defense on the planet. Without overwhelming it, attacks have little chance of any significant successes.
Just look at Ukraine, most attacks never reach their target and they are probably not equipped as well as Israel is (and also spread out much further). Even Russia's "hypersonic" missiles are shot down by plain ol' patriot systems on the regular.
So unless Iran pulls out some really fancy tricks, they will probably just hit low-value targets or maybe manage to overwhelm the defense in some limited areas (at the cost of a lot of drones). If this was to drag on however, it'll start to hurt eventually...
Would explain it taking hours
Fucking hell
Yeah not great
Hours away? Interesting measurement.
That measure was probably used to show the reader how much time Israel has to respond and or retaliate.
Or until they'll have an update on what happened/happens.
I know not much about global politics. Could this be cheeky ww3? Or is this sort of thing pretty common?
Likely just a common tit for tat attack in retaliation for the Israelis bombing the Iranian embassy in Syria
*Iran have joined the game
