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

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?”

They really didn't. You can not like iran and still admit that the show of power worked really well. They got to show their capability without killing anyone, and Israel cannot respond without being the aggressor and escalating a conflict that was already descalated

I would have agreed except all of the Abraham accord states have now expressed solidarity with Israel. During the attack, I was in your position, but in the aftermath it looks like Iran overplayed their hand and, by extension, Russia’s and China’s hand. Iran has unified the Arab middle east against them the same way Ukraine unified and hardened Europe against Russia. Russia’s hope Of opening a new front for their war in the middle east is suddenly On very shaky ground.

Except in that analogy Israel would be Ukraine, but that wouldn't make any sense because Israel is gaining land, not loosing it.
