After launching a few hundred drones at Israel, Iran seems to have called the war off and headed for the showers. A statement released by Iran's Permanent Mission to the United Nations says the "matter" of Israel spreading IRGC terrorists all over Iran's embassy in Damascus "can be concluded."
Conducted on the strength of Article 51 of the UN Charter pertaining to legitimate defense, Iran’s military action was in response to the Zionist regime’s aggression against our diplomatic premises in Damascus. The matter can be deemed concluded. However, should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran’s response will be considerably more severe. It is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli regime, from which the U.S. MUST STAY AWAY!

I'm not sure an attack of this magnitude is that easy to wish away. Israel may have something to say about it. But it looks like the big losers are the loudmouth terror simps who were predicting a World War.
🚨🇮🇷🇮🇱 BREAKING: IRAN officially launches ATTACK ON ISRAEL using dozens of KAMIKAZE DRONES. Will Iron Dome still defend all?
If World War 3 breaks, there are two sides:
1. Russia, China, Iran, Yemen, North Korea
2. NATO, United States, Israel, and UK pic.twitter.com/4x6Jj8onLC— Faizan Sarwar Khan (@faizansarwar__) April 13, 2024
Stay with RedState for up-to-date coverage of this unfolding event and the best analysis anywhere. My colleague Bonchie called this before the Iranians cried, "دایی, دایی."
ESSENTIAL: Why Iran May Have Just Overplayed Its Hand by Attacking Israel
Iran’s bloodless “Pickett’s Charge “ type attack on Israel demonstrates its impotence. It simply does not have the conventional capability of effectively attacking Israel. It also knows that if it uses surrogate terrorists to attack Israeli targets anywhere in the world, Israel does have the ability and disposition to severely punish the mullah regime. Even the mullahs knew this attack would fail. Not only did it fail but the mullahs have demonstrated to their own people their true impotence. Suspect there will be more to come from Israel who holds the mullah regime accountable for the October 7 attack and atrocities.
Seems pretty clear that the purpose of this attack (and probably the next several) will be to deplete Israel’s stock of interceptors before the truly overwhelming attack comes.
For Iran, merely a test of the anti-air capabilities . . . at night.
I think Iran is testing Israel’s response. And I think Israel knows it.
I think the fact that Iran was wling to attack Israel from their territory and let everyone know os pretty striking. No one is deterred anymore. The “Israeli Response” was seen in Gaza. In a few weeks most of the world was putting pressure on Israel and blaming them. In umder 6 months the U.S was doing the same. The gaping whole between Israeli policy and U.S policy was the response. The world is a lot more dangerous with Biden. That much is clear.
Russia has Iran’s back
Thousand dollar drones vs million dollar SAM missiles. They did some damage.
Yeah! Next time, Iran will force Israel to shoot down even more of its drones!
That'll show 'em!
Regards,
The night cost Israel over $1 billion dollars. That’s a lot of money for one night. The problem with missile defense is the cost of the missiles. There has to be a cheaper way to defend the sky.
China will not back Iran. It’s bad for business. Russia is busy.
Typical bully.
Pick a fight and call a truce when it looks like you’re going to get your butt handed to you.
God has Israel’s back.
That's fine by me, just don't get U.S. troops or tax-payer money involved, that's all.
The ordnance Iran wasted on its humiliatingly unsuccessful attack on Israel is likewise not exactly cheap:
Regards,
Well, when the US is handing them fistfuls of money, what do they care?
Not cheap but not near a billion either. Israel doesn’t want to have to defend it’s skies like that too often.
You are comparing the smelly Iranians to my ancestors that fought for the CSA?
Pickett’s Charge was the waste and slaughter of the finest infantry that existed in 1863. The only comparison intended was as General Longstreet futilely noted a frontal attack , uphill, against a dug in, well armed opponent would not succeed. Iran attacking a well defended Israel after given notice had no chance of success. BTW as good as a commander Longstreet was, Lee sent him to Tennessee because just the sight of him was haunting to Lee.
