My first reaction when Israel claimed no major damage
arising from the Iranian missile attack on their military airbase was
how was that possible. Missiles exploding inside airbases does nothing
to the planes and no casualties as well. The Israelis must be
'exceptional' or have done something magic to those missiles causing
them to explode just like firecrackers. Who are they trying to fool?
In
fact, the most major damage is that the 'Iron Dome' failed to protect
those airbases, which I must assume to be surrounded by Patriot Missile
Defense system. That the Iranian hypersonic missiles got through proves a
very important point and destroyed the myth of the 'Iron Dome', which
the Israelis are trying very hard to deny.
The genie is now out
of the bottle and countries around the Middle East are learning how to
overcome the 'Iron Dome' which has exerted in them a psychological fear.
Netanyahu is now invoking God for help to overcome the current crisis.
The faces of the Israeli top cats meeting Netanyahu exposed the gloom
inside the Israeli camp.
So many videos on social media tells a
different story of the Iranian missile attack, with some claiming the
destruction of several F35s. Who is telling the truth and who is lying?

Scott Ritter is saying that Israel may be secretly considering the nuclear option now, as it is caught in a bind trying to counter attacks from all directions. Israel's Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, is in Washington meeting Lloyd Austin, probably sounding him out on the nuclear option. Do not believe the Israelis claiming that their mission is totally theirs in control and they are making decision all by themselves. Only the naive will believe that hogwash.
Moreover, it is clear that Israel's military resources, tanks and troops are spread out over too wide a territory to be meaningful, whatever the gloating by Netanyahu about Israel having long arms. That Iranian attack on Israel's F35 airbase could have also dented Israels air assault capabilities.
There is an ongoing war in Gaza against Hamas. There is a war now against Hezbollah. There are attacks coming from Iraq and the Houthis. There is the fear of Iran joining in as well, and with Russian support. Where is Israels priority now? How spread out are its troops and logistics?
Remember that Russia is now openly supporting Iran and a nuclear option by Israel is not going to be a one-sided affair. Iran does not need to make its own nukes now and can have them on a platter thanks to Putin. Will Israel take the risk of total annihilation by going for the nuclear option?
Of course, no casualties as Iran only targeted military sites and not residential areas unlike the Israelis.
