Commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, Major General Hossein Salami.

Major General Hossein Salami, Commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), on Sunday insisted he had received reports showing that part of the weapons fired by the force toward Israel had directly hit their targets, IRNA reported.

“Our information on all of the hits is not complete yet but on that part of the hits that we have accurate, documented, and field-related reports show that this operation has been carried out with a success that exceeded the expectation,” Salami said.

What a laughable comment to make. YOU are the West’s Disinfo Bob and have no idea how ridiculous you look playing the part. The Iranians did everything they set out to do. There’s no point wasting my time listing what they accomplished as you only are interested in Disinfo Bobbing. One question though, in this great $2B American/Israeli “success”, why did Iran give us a 72 hour notice? You know the Iranians used less than 1% of their arsenal and none of their hypersonics. At $2B a night, how many times before the West runs out air defense missiles for Israel, 10, 20 attacks? What if Iran sends 5000 drones AND 100 hypersonics next time? Ask your buddy Kiev Z what happens when the hypersonics fly and the Patriots run out. Can’t wait for your next edition of the world according to Western Disinfo Bob.

Iran spent money Pedo Joe gave them, coordinated the “attack” with the man, then Israel, the US and a few allies spent millions shooting something down. Yeah Iran came out ahead, by a long shot.

Precisely and many people don’t understand this. The Iranians used very inexpensive drones and got the Israelis to expend alot. They will repeat this again and then will eventually use more significant weapons.

Sorry, folks.

I smell a Rope-a-Dope. Logically, it makes more sense than an “embarrassing, incompetent attack.” Don’t believe the headlines downplaying the seriousness of Iran’s first ever direct attack against Israel.

The endgame is quite different than that being portrayed.

This is what we should be concerned about as this attack sets the table for this situation:

For Iran the mission could be considered successful. The drones shot down were used as pawns because they caused Israel’s radar array to light up and reveal their location. If there’s a follow up attack Iran now has those targets set.

Also 4-5 of the ballistic missiles were able to bypass Iron Dome and hit one of the most heavily defensed airports. Basically Iran demonstrated that its latest generation of missiles can hit anywhere in Israel with high accuracy.

It showed also that Israel’s defense is vital. And that Iran’s nuclear is now openly..genocidal.

More sobering western analysis shows at least 9 ballistic missiles hit two airbases at both ends of Israel, which would bring the percentage of missiles that made it through Israeli/Allied air defenses closer to 10%.

Then there is the matter of what defending the missile barrage cost and what might happen if Iran launched a longer more focused barrage at their enemies in the region. I'm sure the Saudi and Jordanian governments are reassessing their own commitments and vulnerabilities in light of the Iranian strike.

I think this allowed Iran and others to map out the entire anti-missile and anti-drone defensive battery set up.

Iran doesn’t have nukes but has enough missiles not to need them.

You don’t get it. This was a demonstration of Iran’s missile capability. They have definitely shown that their advanced missiles can’t be stopped by Israel’s air defense. And Iran has 10’s of thousands of these at their disposal. That’s more than enough to lay waste to Israel. And now Iran has Israel’s radar array and sensors all mapped and ready to be destroyed if there’s a follow up strike. Ignore the msm propaganda. The West is playing down the significance of this only because they don’t want Israel to retaliate.
