  • Iran causing almost zero civilian injuries or deaths in their retaliatory strike is actually incredibly impressive and probably was part of the Iranian strategy. It gives Israel much less of a reason to retaliate, much less to use for propaganda, and at the same time probably indicates to Israel that Iran did not intend to harm civilians in the first place and thus succeeded, meaning the potential precision of an Iranian strike is very high.

    Of note: Given the fact that it has been observed that Israel is continuing to jam GPS signal and internet near certain military installations, we can pretty safely assume a fair amount of Iranian weapons hit their mark. Also, Iran did not show off any new technology or techniques. This is a huge Iranian flex because the drone/missile barrage was carried out with technology Israel and the U.S. are fully aware of and prepared for, had an entire week to be on high alert and ready defenses, and Iran still saw success in their retaliatory strike. Iran got Israel to light up the sky with their defense installations, giving away functionality and positions, at the cost of nearly nothing to Iran.

    • They've also proven they don't need nuclear weapons in a nuclear exchange with Israel. They have the ability to put warheads wherever they want, so if Israel gets nuclear they can hit Israel's nuclear facilities and irradiate most of Israel. No nuclear program needed.

    • That's a great read on the situation and makes a lot of sense. I have to wonder if that will influence whether a follow up attack from the zionist entity happens. In theory this should deter them, but idk about that
