      Why would Iran warn the US? They didn't, still US Navy intercepted a dozen missiles. How many missiles effectively landed in Israel isn't clear, but only little of them reached important targets. Israel does have good airdefense, also with US assistance. Iran on the other hand doesn't, as they rely on older systems like s300.

      @bekeneel Месяц назад

      And you say this was a much bigger strike now? About 180missiles were launched, the last attack was 300+ projectiles. Small ballistic missiles are hard to intercept, just ask the russians, all Atacms & Gmlrs reach their targets.. Hahah I just hear russia has the best airdefense 😂 that's hilarious, ur already proven wrong in Ukraine Alex! And Iran is important ally of russia, if they concede losses & missiles it's less they can send to russia..

      Ok I get the sentiment but that’s just not true. There are a few videos showing hits to civilian houses and even a school. Were they intentionally targeted? Of course not. Was it a false flag? Could be. Point is when firing hundreds of missiles into and near cities, some will inevitably miss or be intercepted and crash into civilian buildings.
      I will agree with you that it was unintentional of course

    Im in the US, and this govt let 150+ people drown in just one hurricane, and instead of recuse crews they sent cops to guard grocery stores from starving people (no power means all the food inside was going to go bad in another day). They also have no plans to deal with a MASSIVE chemical plant fire that will undoubtedly cause long term health problems for thousands of people in Atlanta. A few communities can only get aid by mule, since the govt has no helicopters for some reason and the bridges are gone. No national guard, but they sent thousands more troops to isreal. The money for the immediate relief for the floods was short 8.5-9 billion, which is the exact amount that they sent o isreal. There is no plan by this administration to deal with anything at home, and there is a dock worker strike underway. We are in a far worse economic situation than Russia (aside from people dying in war), but all the news talks about is war with Iran, Russia and China.

Israeli media also operates under military censorship since they are a nation at war.... As for citizens taking pictures you don't allow that because it might facilitate enemy targeting of missiles on their homeland and on military assets. ...just as you would not allow live reporting when a position comes under attack for fear of who might be listening...

    If Iran has nuclear weapons, as Israel/US does, peace might prevail in the middle east. This sounds counterintuitive, but the reason Israel/US has been able to create war and chaos in the region with immunity is mainly by using nuclear weapons threat
    Therefore, if Iran has nuclear weapons, the US/Israel would not dear to threat Iran, just as the US can't easily do with North Korea, Russia, and China

    The Iranian authorities did not warn the Americans, but some Iranians filmed the missiles' departure and posted them on social networks, perhaps without understanding that they were informing Israel of their arrival. But the delay was only 12 minutes for the hypersonic missiles. the american ships fired 15 anti-missiles without any result. The Jordanien aircrafts were not more successfull, perhaps they took off too late.
    Tel Aviv residents filmed the missiles' arrivals and while some were indeed intercepted, many hit their targets. The explosions could be seen and heard clearly.

    Iran is not Iraq, basically a flat alluvial plain. Iran is ringed by very high mountain chains, especially in the west and south. This would make it impossible for any infantry force backed by tanks etc. to conquer the country. So, all the western powers in collaboration with Israel could be able to do would be limited to aerial bombardments which the Vietnam experience has shown won’t lead anywhere. Besides, if Iranian nuclear facilities are attacked, what guarantee is there that Iran won’t reciprocate the favor by attacking the Israeli nuclear facilities with far graver consequences for a comparatively much smaller country.

    In an ideal world, when people are wronged, they can turn to the authorities, like the police, to seek justice. However, in the case of Palestine, the "police" on the global stage, often represented by powerful nations like the United States, is corrupt and biased. Instead of upholding justice, the U.S. perpetuates and supports unjust policies, particularly through its unbalanced support for Israel. This failure to deliver justice not only deepens the suffering of Palestinian victims but also fuels frustration, anger, and inevitably, violence. When justice is denied, especially by those with the power to enforce it, the cycle of conflict and retaliation becomes almost inevitable.

The grainy drone footage that was doing the rounds on Monday showed a group of more than a dozen people getting out of a train before they were lined up and apparently shot dead by an execution squad.

    The Russian crew of a BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle had several brushes with death during a battle for the Donbass town of Ugledar, RIA Novosti reported on Wednesday, publishing a dramatic video of the combat action.
    The video shows an intense battle, as the vehicle maneuvers and deploys troops under enemy fire. At several points, there are near-misses with some heavy weapons, including what appears to be a rocket striking a road that the BMP-2 had passed just seconds before.
    ”There was everything at once, FPV drones, a large-caliber machine gun, all at once. The guys were incredibly heroic,” the source said of the assault team, which the BMP-2 was supporting in combat. - RT

    Western weapons have been proven in Ukraine not to be as effective as demonstrated, Iran learnt this from Russian Ukraine war. I like Douglas's analysis, here says western equipment is just fancy looking and expensive than counterpart Russian equipment , however Russian equipment were designed to with stand rough terrain and designed for use in real war situation. Like the Abrams tank, they say they just bulky and not maneuverable and easy target to drones and antitank artillery. This is a wake up call for USA also to stop fueling conflicts and encourage negotiation both sides, no one is invincible, the only hope that USA and even Russia may have eventually is atomic bombs.

S. or the zionist state of israel doesn't have; of course, that's just a cuestion of time, but today, they haven't any weapon to respond at these attacks.

He continuously depoys a charitable reading of Russian motivation and action and a very critical reading of American-European-Ukranian action, but with the Israelis he is always measured and rarely critical despite their ongoing genocide, in which it very easy to take a stand consistent with international law. And as for the Iranian position his reading is always neither here, nor there - he can never take what they say at face value, and there is a feeling of cynicism that seems to suggest some nefarious hidden agenda the Iranians have that the Russians certainly don't.
