Yeah okay fine I'll wait a week to see if any actual damage was dealt, which I doubt not because of the reports but because I didn't expect them to.
Iran is just another joke of a military power, they couldn't even make their own nukes after Pakistan gave them the instruction booklet because Israel had a free hand in destroying their progress because as stated Iranβs military is just as incompetent as every other arab nation.
The IDF isn't invincible, they have several known weaknesses that Hamas has been exploiting.
Of course I have, I've been making offhand comments in both ml and world about how the Houthis are the only faction that has a functioning plan, especially compared to Iran, despite being funded by Iran.
I already predicted more than a week ago that Iran was barely gonna accomplish anything or bother to use actual firepower like their airforce for fear of combat losses.
This attack is lamer than when India tossed some bombs on an abandoned shed in 2019 to provoke Pakistan. It accomplished nothing in terms of physical damage, and it backfired internationally when the PAF shot down and captured their pilot.
Israel will do just the same and suddenly Iran is going to be looking really stupid for not actually doing anything.
And no, it won't escalate either because Iran will magically sing a different tune when they're faced with actual fighting just like every other arab nation has. They don't have the capability nor the resolve to force Israel into a disadvantageous position.
more defeatism and crap about how the resistance is pathetic except for a random redeeming quality. fine, let's have a serious discussion after you spend a few more days doing pessimistic media criticism! seriously, let's go. i'm all for it. i may act like a bit of a dick but it's to make my disagreement unambiguous and avoid misunderstandings in the end

I never said the resistance is pathetic you illiterate moron, at least bother to read my comment.
All I said was Iran will likely accomplish nothing compared to Hamas by itself.
@[email protected] You're the fucking moron coming up with depressing fanfiction based off vague headline recollections. Did you even see Iran fired 7 hypersonics?
