Current Affairs Iran

I've seen this a lot today, but it really does not ring true - most of these launchers are mobile and the fixed elements are well known to everyone.

It would be more correct to say that the capabilities of the Israeli / US air defence system against a mass attack are now more known, but given that this is (IIRC) the largest multi-spectrum drone and missile attack in history (at least against a modern networked air defence system) the learning there has probably informed the Israelis / Yanks much more than anyone else.

Who do you think will have learned the most from last night. How quick Israel can react to incoming threats, effect it had (and will have in the next few days),to how Israeli public reacts, what level of and from where US/UK assist?

What Iran fired last night was nothing new, no new tech, probably no clever flight paths etc so it's hard to see what Israel would have learned that they didn't already know.

Just seems like it was a learning opportunity for them, even if that wasnt the purpose.

I smell a rat in all of this as well, and I'm not just talking netanyahu and his cronies either.

Other than the Sunni/Shi'ite aspect where is the proof of this division? Israel isn't just on it's own, it's seen for what it is, a western proxy. How many ME countries have suffered from Western interference, knowing that Israel as an illegal nuclear presence, has a much closer proximity weapons wise?

It isn't just the Shia-Sunni belief that separates them. Iranians are not Arabs, which in part fuels the idea of religious divide. Many Iranians support Israel's stance against Hamas and the oppressive Iranian regime holding their people hostage.

Iranians Show Little Support For Palestinian Cause Amid Gaza Conflict

Iran has positioned itself as the leader of the Palestinian cause in the Muslim world. But Iranians have shown little support for the Palestinian struggle for statehood and have criticized the authorities for backing militant groups fighting Israel.

This was from a match in Iran after the Hamas attack.

Isn't directly attacking (actually eradicating) a diplomatic mission of particular country casus belli? I am really suprised they blame Iran in this

It is.

But if genocide doesn't make you a pariah state, then they will just smirk at the consequences. The benefits of having the US and western world backing you up.

I wouldn't be surprised if the US fired the drones and it's all a lie to start a war with Iran. To take away from the Israelis murdering thousands of Palestinians..

Give over Pete. All the lies from Israel and the US over the last 6 months. Would it even surprise you if they did?

How about Al Jazeera….

Iran have not only admitted it, but have claimed that its attack ‘achieved all its objectives’. I think we can safely assume that they (stupidly) did it…..
