Israel’s propaganda suggests …
This would seem to suggest that Israel’s attack was neither minor as Iran had claimed but not devastating either as Israel had claimed.
If it was minor, Iran may just ignore it to de-escalate. If it was devastating, Iran would probably not want another exchange. Then again, my assessment may be completely off base.
IMO, Iran was expecting an Israeli response on par with what Iran actually hit in Israel and not what Iran targeted. Iran expected Israel to hit some rocks in the desert. Israel hit actual military targets and Iran is outraged. Iran cannot win this game.
They should stand down, I think pressing further is a fool’s errand. Not much to gain, but a lot to lose.
If they’re attacking from Iraq that means they’re trying to hit them before Israel/US can even react. I don’t know how Israel and the US would react to something like this. I can’t imagine it being anything good.
Then again, this is coming from the Israeli intelligence so they may be using this as a pretext to bomb certain locations in Iraq. There are Iraqi militants firing rockets and drones into Israel regularly.
Israeli intel suggests.
Okay, but what does actual intel suggest?
I’m not doubting the efficacy of their intel, but I am doubting the accuracy of what they release to the public. They push a ridiculous amount of propaganda and straight-up misinformation.
I don’t know why would Iran attack before the election since that could boost Trump’s chances and Trump would be worse for them. Perhaps this is an attempt by Israel to nudge the election towards him?
Or maybe the entire god damned world doesn’t make every god damned decision based on the US Election? Just sayin’…
Most of the world yes. But in this one where the quantities, types and prices of the bombs used literally depend on the American election, it probably influences decision-making.
American isn’t buying Iran’s bombs and there’s no amount of hysterical hand waving you can do to get over that fact.
Do you think I’m talking about Iran’s bombs? 😂
I would love to see how you defend the argument that Iran doesn’t care about the US election results. That’d be a fascinating exercise to see done.
You are of course joking.
They will wait until next Wednesday.
Sure hope so
Is this the timeline in which we all die?
