What is not helping is treating the latest drone attack as if it is an episode of a soap opera all by itself. Iran was behind the October 7 massacre. Their Quds force used their embassy in Syria as a command post which is why Israel destroyed it. Iran launched 300 missiles at Israel in response.
Iran launching 300 drones was an escalation the Middle East has never seen before. It was Iran's actions that lead to the creation of the Middle East Air Defense plan. Iran's undeclared, or perhaps better said unrecognized, states war with so many other countries is why such a defense exists.
Now Iran's message is "all done, please stop Israel from overreacting". Iran and the Biden administration are acting as if the last six months and what lead up to them did not exist. They are pretending it is all on Israel to avoid escalation when the only side escalating is Iran. This is not going to work forever.
Iran’s missiles and drones are shown to be paper tigers against a sophisticated defense.
I must disagree with you.
Israel’s attack on an embassy was the escalation. Even if it was an al Quds base.
The Iranian response was all show, no effect.
Better for Israel to finish the war in the south rather than fight a two sided war
