Israel’s foreign minister threatened Wednesday that his country’s forces would strike Iran directly if the Islamic Republic launched an attack from its territory against Israel, as tensions between the rival powers flare following the killings of Iranian generals in a blast at the Iranian consulate in Syria.
“If Iran attacks from its territory, Israel will respond and attack in Iran,” Israel Katz said in a post on X in both Farsi and Hebrew.
The remarks came after Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reiterated early Wednesday a promise to retaliate against Israel over the attack on its consulate in Damascus earlier this month.
Iran is used to having their assets destroyed in Syria by Israel. That’s why
The only compliment I will give to the theocratic fascist regime in Tehran is that when it comes to Israel, they’ve shown remarkable restraint.
They really don’t. Iran doesn’t have the power to project their military might out to Israel. Instead they use proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah to attack Israel.
Is a comment made by somebody just utterly ignorant of Iran’s drone and ballistic missile program.
And before you sputter ’ But … But… Iron Dome!’
Hezbollah has already accomplished SEAD against Israel with far less then Iran has available.
Israel makes the same stupid mistake America does. Any system designed to counter something that uses ammunition 100x - 1000x more expensive then the thing it counters will always fail to saturation.
The thing about the iron dome is that there are still rockets being fired at you. Nobody considers how comfortable they would feel knowing there are thousands of rockets flying at them and their only safety mechanism is 92% successful and some dumb luck.
It’s fine, because it’s happening to someone else.
Do you know what SEAD means?
I’m guessing not.
Also my above comment above is not an ideological one but you’re responding like it is.
Factually, Hezbollah is an order of magnitude quantitatively superior in their combat capability to Hamas.
Similarly, Iran is an order of magnitude quantitatively superior to Hezbollah.
Hezbollah accomplished SEAD against Israel in the north.
Your 92% figure doesn’t apply to shots not taken because they can’t take then at all.
I would also suggest that if Israel didn’t want Iran to take a shot at them, then Israel shouldn’t have violated the Vienna convention and bombed Iran’s embassy.
That’s an insane level of provocation.
Wow, you really know very little about the regional politics, do you?
I’d say the same for you.
