And that is where the problem lies. If Israel is not armed then they get wiped of the face of the planet …..
personally I think his days as PM are numbered, as ultimately he is responsible for the expansion of the settlers and the intelligence failings that led to Israel being caught out by Hamas.
Obviously opinion as I don’t have a personal line into Iran.
I very much foubt that Iran wants all out war in the Middle East, as it’s a war they couldn’t win. What they want is a position of power and standing which giving Israel a bloody nose would have done. If you chuck 300 drones at Israel...
Iran wanted destruction. They wanted pictures of destroyed buildings and burning fires that they could proudly show their people. They didn’t get it. Yes it was a very dangerous escalation but instead of showing strength it was a failure. It should be remembered that this isn’t just about Israel...
i would disagre. Anything other than significant damage is a failure. If you were the Saudi’s ( if there is anything more the Iranians hate more than Israel it’s the Saudi) you’d be laughing your socks off. 300 drone etc and you’ve only scratched some paint. That is an abject failure.
Added to...
300 plus drones and missiles resulting in minimal damage is a piss poor return for the Iranians.
it does highlight the advancement in anti drone and missile technology that will cause a fair bit of disquiet in Russia and China.
