Iran did not expect: these are the countries that sided with Israel against it. The Iranian attack was widely condemned around the world, but the international response was not limited to talk - several countries participated tonight in defending against the unprecedented threat, including our neighbors.

A historic night passed over our country, when 331 missiles were fired at Israel from Iran, in the first ever direct confrontation between the two countries. On the one hand, not the history we would like to experience, on the other hand, the IDF's response to the unprecedented threat was impeccable, which is reflected in the fact that the incident ended with almost no casualties, except for a 10-year-old girl who was seriously injured by shrapnel, and with very little damage to property. Another positive aspect What can be taken from this night - the reaction of the world.Hundreds of UAVs and ballistic missiles: an unprecedented Iranian attack on Israel
The deterrence failed, the containment succeeded: Iran's attack makes it clear to everyone who is the head of theOnline.
Opinion Ma'ariv.
From the moment it became known that the Iranian attack had begun, it received widespread condemnation from all over the world, including harsh messages from France, Germany, Austria, Argentina and also from countries that have recently harshly criticized Israel on the background of the fighting in Gaza, such as Canada for example. But the international support was not only expressed in words, but also in actions.
First: the US Army cooperated closely and in full synergy with our forces, when most of the Iranian weapons did not reach Israel at all, due to the response of air defense systems and the US Air Force. In addition, British Army planes took to the air over the borders of Cyprus, and were ready to respond yes for any interception that stands in their way.Jordanian air defense systems also operated tonight, and intercepted dozens of threats, despite Iran's direct threats to our neighbor - that if it takes part in the defense, it will be considered an enemy. Saudi Arabia, which is considered a moderate Arab country in the region, expressed concern about the situation. Its neighbor on the other side - Egypt, was tonight on high alert with its air defense systems and air force.
The Arabs helping the Israelis is amazing.
President Trump is closer to bringing peace in the middle east than all of these professional politicians have been added together over decades.
Arabs don’t care for the Iranians.
You’re right but it is a big leap from dislike to actively and publicly aiding Israel.
I can’t imagine that Iran has ever felt this isolated previously.
They don’t want nukes flying around them.
These other countries have no genuine love for palestinians, who they usually view as a pawn they can use to put pressure on Israel. They never take them in, their own borders are closed to them.
So who coordinated this response, Biden? Austin? Blinken? There must be a strong back channel operating right now.
The Trump Effect
Sounds like it’s a thing.
The bottom line here is we really need Trump back in office to cool things down.
Yes a lot of Arab countries hate Iran but Iran yields a lot of power to cause trouble. Without someone like Trump to calm the seas we are going to have trouble. Biden is sitting up at the White House with his head up his ass.
November can’t come fast enough
Abraham Accords
.
The response was probably coordinated by Centcom. That’s the US’ military command for the Middle East.
We don’t really know who did what or why.
I’m calling more Kabuki theater until proven otherwise.
Joe sure has an uncanny knack of being able to light up a room when he enters!!!!!!
January 20th he would take office….
So who coordinated this response, Biden? Austin? Blinken?

Yeah right! That right there’s a funny joke!
Sunni vs Shia Muslims. Iran’s history of Middle East dominance makes them think they should be dominant again. Obama backed Iran. Trump’s peace accords simply formalized what existed and isolated Iran.
And the billions Biden sent to Iran were really from Obama
Saudi Arabia, which is considered a moderate Arab country
They are about as extreme as they come. They just hate the Shiite because they are Sunni.
