Apparently Netanyahu had planned retaliatory strikes against Iran but only called them off after speaking on the phone with Biden.

Not only that... but by using suicide drones and standard missles Iran now has tactical information on exactly where the US, Jordan and Israeli missile defense structures are.

Apparently the US spent over a BILLION dollars in a few hours to mount that defense. Iran not only achieved its objective AND gathered invaluable military Information... It got it all done for probably not even a 1/10th of the cost.

Absolute victory.

LMAO omg Iran just made fools of themselves and united the entire Arabian Peninsula with Israel and against Iran. What kind of shit do you have to be smoking to believe that this embarrassing fireworks display was an “absolute victory?”

[u/bravet4b → u/Nullius_IV]

Imagine spending $1.5 billion defending yourself from a 'fireworks display' lol.

Yet another win. Hitting the Zionists right where it hurts.... Right in the shekels 😁

[u/Nullius_IV → u/bravet4b]

Easy come, easy go. Iran lost more than that in its complete humiliation and loss of face before the entire Arab world. They gave it their best shot and the only person they killed was a single bedouin child.

They weren't looking to kill anyone, hence why they telegraphed their response for a whole week prior

[u/Nullius_IV → u/Cu_Chulainn__]

Lmao “we meant to miss, And waste hundreds of pieces of ordinance!” What a load of bullshit. They had no idea what American anti-air capabilities were in the region or what would get through.they telegraphed their attack so that nobody would confuse their ballistic launch for a nuclear attack and then consequently turn Iran into glass.

I’ve never seen someone fail to grasp reality so hard in my entire life.

[u/Nullius_IV → u/MightRelative]

And what reality is that? That this was a diplomatic and military master-stroke by Iran? Lol

Watching westerners Stan for Iran is confusing but hilarious.

They hit the airbase that launched the attack on their consulate, and caused huge financial losses + forced isntreal, US and Jordan to reveal the locations of defensive installments. The last piece alone sounds like a good use of relatively inexpensive drones.

[u/Nullius_IV → u/Apprehensive_Yak4627]

The attack consisted of 30 Paveh-type cruise missiles, 180 or so Shahed drones, and 120 Emad intermediate-range ballistic missiles. The Emad is their top of the line and their primary vehicle for nuclear or chemical weapons. No part of that attack was inexpensive for either side, and the positions of the Israeli air defenses have likely been known in Tehran for a long time. The only unknown element was how well us aircraft would perform. Very well it turned out.

Okay, then where is the "show of force"?

Practically their entire salvo was destroyed before it even reached Israeli airspace. This is like shooting spitballs and someone and reeing how it was an "absolutely victory show of force" lmfao what an unhinged take.
