It would have been less humiliating for the zionist regime to have just apologized and did nothing.

I just want these fucking people to be able to live their lives. These genocidal freaks need their capacity for violence wrested from them because they are making hell on Earth by hurting vulnerable people - especially children.
Seems like they did essentially 0 damage, thankfully for the people of Tehran. Apparently they might have hit an essentially empty rev guard training base lol.
So good bye Gulf state/American oil refineries and hello potential oil crisis 2.0? or would this be an exaggeration?
the american government has gone through great pains and effort to ensure that opec no longer has the leverage it did back in the 1970's.
It seems like it's a bit early to tell. Iran doesn't want to escalate, if these attacks are limited they might not up the ante, like last time.
presstv is playing this attack down, saying limited damage and their air defence did their jobs.
i was here when israel decided to go out guns blazing
US supported genocidal apartheid state opening up a 3rd front? Where have I seen that before?
Nuke norway

Say the thing Bart!
There's no way this could end badly
Hurray!!
So like, this is the end of Israel yeah? I just don't see how the Israeli state can continue
They're really pushing it. Motivation wise I'm genuinely hoping it's dome Hitler style being bad at war but cynically, the mire fronts you open the more likely to get America directly involved.
Here we go again 
i just woke up from the explosions what the hell
Hope you're safe, comrade 
Stay safe!
here's another hug!
Stay safe!!! 
thanks!
please stay safe comrade 
thanks hopefully israel will fall and we don't have to worry about being bombed anymore.
Fuck
I knew I shouldn't have wished to live in interesting times
It sort of bothers me how wishing works.

Does anyone here have a guess as to why Israel is trying to solo the entire ~~Arab world~~ Middle East in the middle of an ongoing colonial uprising?
Israel doesn't solo anything. They are a hand of the US wearing a blue and white flag
The realpolitik ghoul reason would be that they're trying to start a big enough war that the only way the US can secure its interests in the region is to get directly involved, saving Israel from the consequences of its other aggressions.
But I don't think it's actually realpolitik ghouls in charge, I think they've just got nazis at the helm, and nazis think that all problems can be solved by attacking the weak, and all people are weaker than them.
I have used this example before: imagine you have a revolver with six bullets - they will become obsolete and unable to deal any damage to your enemy in 10 years.
While you only have a 10% chance of killing your enemies right now, it will be 1% in 10 years time.
What will you do?
Do you use those bullets now hoping to deal at least some lasting damage to your enemies, or do you hoard them until nobody is afraid of them anymore?
For Zionists, this will be the end of their ideology, the end of their ethnostate project. What becomes of Zionism when it comes to that? It makes sense they have to deal damage now than later.
(The bullets are US/Israeli air superiority, and what will make it obsolete are modern Russian air defense systems that once supplied to Iran, will end Western air supremacy altogether in the Middle East)
Sorry to be daft, but what's this Russia supplying Iran with air weapons thing?
After the Western sanctions on Russia during the start of the Ukraine war, Iran and Russia have moved much closer in military and technological cooperation and is currently very close to formalizing a comprehensive defense treaty between the two nations.
Iranian drones (Shahed) have already been used in Ukraine, and Russia has already obtained the licensing rights to manufacture their own domestic version (Geran-2), which has also been deployed on the battlefield in Ukraine.
Modern Russian air defense systems, in particular the S-400s, will neutralize NATO/Israeli air superiority against Iran.
The question is how fast Russia can manufacture these SAM batteries, since Russia already has its hands full at the moment. Ukraine, under the supervision of NATO, continues to lob rockets and missiles and launch drones into Russian territory (including along the Finnish-Russian border), which in turn forces Russia to deploy its air defense systems along vast stretch of its European border.
The delivery of the last two squadrons of S-400 that India ordered seven years ago, originally slated for delivery in 2023, had to be delayed until 2025. It’s clear that Russia is prioritizing its own air defenses against Ukraine and does not have the production level to export to other countries like Iran at the moment. So that will take years (also likely why NATO continues to force Russia to engage in Ukraine despite the fact that Ukraine can no longer win the war - it still serves its purpose of tying Russia from sending advanced military equipments to Iran and its allies in the Middle East).
Very cool and interesting. Thanks for the effort post.

Modern Russian air defense systems, in particular the S-400s, will neutralize NATO/Israeli air superiority against Iran.
Is there something special about the technology, or is it just that Iran has poor air defense and generic tech would fix that?
Iran isnt in the arab world
Yeah I'm already not looking forward to all the times I'm going to have to correct people referring to Iranians as "Arabs"
The fuck, how did I just learn this today
Darius the great has been obscuring your mind with magics beyond the grave

I can think of two possibilities:
- They're copying Nixon's "Madman Theory", where by being violent and unpredictable they can extract greater concessions from their opponents. This is your "De-Escalation through Escalation" they were talking about a while ago.
- Israel now views this as an existential conflict and is trying to disable their opponents while they still have enough munitions to do so.
I hope they lose
because the US wants this -- gotta get WW3 nice and hot without having the blame
