  • Six days after an Iranian attack on Israel, Israel struck back with a limited strike on an air base outside of Isfahan, a city in Iran. Are we in a full-blown crisis at this point, or are we about to hit an offramp? And just want exactly are the nuclear risks in all of this?

      Its funny though because the Islamic Republic said they hated Israel from Day 1, but let Israel sell them American weapons (with American permission) and base specialists in Iran to help them defend themselves against Saddam during the Iran-Iraq war (without which they could have fallen). Some really weird games being played.

Yep, the Iranian F-14s , F-4 phantoms, F-5 Tiger IIs outclassed their Iraqi counterparts who were poorly trained and piloting more inferior Mig-19s, 21s, 23s , 25s , the only Iraqi plane that was comparable to the Iranian US supplied warplanes was the French F-1, which was the first Iraqi aircraft to shoot down a Iranian F-14.

    Interesting!
    Israel "missing" the nuclear facilities is likely to have been by intention. It's striking close enough to tell Iran that they _could_ reach the two key facilities nearby if they wanted to. A form of warning without escalating the situation to the brink, where Iran is pressured to respond in a potentially catastrophic way. At the same time, Israel didn't just want to waste the opportunity, so they aimed to knock out an important military facility which, if successful, makes it harder for Iran to protect their nuclear facilities. Also, if they just hit just a patch of empty dirt nearby, they would be both laughed at for being incompetent and Iran's likely conclusion would be that the missiles/drones were intended for the most obvious targets, the nearby nuclear facilities so again, they would feel pressured to respond preemptively. Instead, Israel aimed for something valuable enough but not the nuclear facilities. Iran also knows that Israel quite certainly has more nukes then them and Israel's big brother, the US is watching...
    Cunning but with an element of brinkmanship!!

    I'm so sick of people saying every single military conflict is "Nuclear war!!!" or "World War III!!!!!"
    If Iran has nukes, it'd be ignorant to use them. So does Israel and its allies. You people have to understand that nuclear war is never going to happen unless countries invade with the intention of taking over a country. They aren't just going to lob nukes at each other because it would literally cost them the exact same if not more in return. Even tactical nukes, they gain nothing by using them because the opposite side would use them as well and it would be pointless. Conventional warfare will still be the main way of fighting war, literally forever. The only time nuclear powers will fall will be because of internal problems. Not because of a foreign military.

If Iran withdrew this policy it would be only after guarantees of concessions from Israel. i can't see the Iranian ayatollah being the bigger more mature guy when neither Israel nor USA have tried to be that since Yitzhak Rabin.

    Here's a few more things to consider when reading between the lines (pan intended):
    - Iran fired a combination of about 300 drones and variety of missiles with little to no effect, and publicly threatened to escalate if Israel retaliates.
    - Israel responded with 3 drones / missiles, (about 1% of Iran's barrage) all of which reached their destination deep within Iranian space unnoticed until the final moment. (Isfahan is about 600km from the border...)
    - Isfahan has not only a nuclear facility, but also military air base, and drone factory. (So it's a very significant target.)
    - The US leaked the information that Israel did it, but Israel did not admit (Which means officially Israel didn't respond.)
    If it wasn't clear enough, Israel's message is something like: You can barely hit us, we can and will retaliate, and you won't even see us coming, so do that again, and you know what we hit next... (nuclear, aerial and drone manufacturing capabilities.)
    - It is very clear from Iran's reaction (they downplayed it but let it slide) and Al Jazeera English's report on the attack that the Iranian leaders are aware of the implications, even keep the civilians clueless. (The guy from Tehran said something like: Israel's message is that they can, and may retaliate, but this time they chose not to.)

    Degrading Iran’s air defenses and air forces is a prudent first step for Israel. Following strikes would then be more likely to succeed and have less risk, at least for a while. That puts Iran on notice without going all the way which can be useful for diplomatic reasons. It not only allows the USA to continue to consider actually providing some aid eventually but also is leverage on Iran to encourage them to pressure Hamas to release the hostages.

    • @oohhboy-funhouse
      @oohhboy-funhouse Месяц назад +3

      Hamas are proxies, you do not directly control proxies nor Iran any leverage at this point, that ended at Oct 7. None of this was about hostages or Gaza. It was about kicking the hornets nest to keep a crisis going, satisfy the extremists, and possibly shake loose that funding, not like they were hurting for ammo. The military option has gotten you a negative number of hostages. If you actually want the hostages, look for them in Qatar.

    • @stupidburp
      @stupidburp Месяц назад +3

      Hamas has continued to take orders from the Quds Force during the war. They are the largest supplier of weapons over the long term for them. The billionaire Hamas leadership in Qatar only wants the aid to keep flowing so they can keep diverting it into their pockets. They can’t do that very efficiently again until after the war ends. They will look for an excuse for an exit from the war for their own selfish reasons. The hostages are not in Qatar. Transporting them there without being tracked is not feasible. They are in Gaza or Egypt. The hostage situation is the #1 political crisis internally in Israel for the leadership to deal with. Israel is much less concerned about external factors. They would like aid and assistance but are not counting on it and they have already been waiting over 6 months for anything substantial. Israel wants a way out on their own terms and those terms are dictated by the public as release of the hostages. If that means glassing Iran or just intimidating them, so be it. Either way.

      while many arabs didn't like the soft response as they already hate iran and frame it as only using palestine case to further its interest, proxy and ppl who are actually effected like Palestines knew very well that at least iran isn't in bed with israel and actually willing to attack israel.
      i think ppl fail to understand how moving it is for someone to be oppressed and bullied by stronger enemy that no established power willing to intervene even supposed brothers, for him to see for he first time since forever another established power that have the same weight as israel attacking israel even symbolic as a show of force.
      in the end the whole thing for iran is a battle of ideas, could arab leaders push israel to look friendly? can israel itself look friendly and control itself? could arab leaders ignore their population to this extent? could arab leaders provide an accepted level of resolution? could arab leaders gamble on the risk for failing to provide such accepted resolution? etc...
      now that US leaving israel need to form a coalition between arab countries centered around containing iran, iran is trying to flip the table on israel head.

    Your foreign audience and your public school domestic audience both appreciate you pointing out which one is Michigan, haha… wish that fact was less true for me than it actually is but here we are

    not every "strike" has to have a goal to cause direct damages - just three "projectiles" means this wasnt a serious attack but either a "show of force" intended to be easy enopugh to intercept but show that they have capabilities to deliver payloads at that distance (especially considering the Izraels "secret" of having access to nuclear weapons) or it could have been designed to make the Iran show theyr hand with how theyr AA defense is setup and how they would react. and if they failed to intercept even those three then the unwillingness to escalate further would make sense because if your AA defense is so bad it cant intercept even three targets, what happens when it has to deal with fifty ...

      They have essentially no fixed wing manned air force, but they do have missiles and drones.

      Albeit neta is a product of overstay and corruption, placing the burden of peace in a single personality or country is a signal of indoctrination, aka, a phenomenon coined useful idiot.

    12:36 - 12:41 Ali Khamenei.... his right hand, what kind of a pic is that? The hand and fingers will look exactly like that only when the metacarpophalangeal joints are broken. What's going on there?

      All of the above. Pax Americana is ending, even beyond the wishes of the US government, and every grudge and feud that was simmering beneath the surface is gonna flare up in the coming years.
