Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

RealNapster said:
Last year, they were targeting those tall buildings. It seems somehow the loat the capability to target those targets or attack in meaningful numbers. It seems the claim of US and Israel that they have destroyed Iranian missile launchers is true. Because we haven't seen them dropping more than 30 missiles in a single day in like 2 months now.

Why target tall buildings, that too was a waste of missiles. Why not take out "expensive" military-industrial complex sites instead? , or large economic targets like Intel Fabs ? Now that Israel has done that with the petro-chemical site, what stops Iran doing the same ?

Point taken on the launchers, but I still maintain the targeting logic makes no sense militarily.

But that is NOT the question I am posing: there is a difference between the why and the what, as I have explained multiple times:

You are presenting a justification for Iran's policies, but that is not the issue here. Of course Iran has every right to have a policy that it feels is right for it as a sovereign nation. I have no problem with that at all.

I am talking about the effect of Iran's policies on the American people. As much as Iran wants USA to stop its support of Israel, its own policies make it very, very difficult for the people here to choose Iran over Israel.

And Israel exploits this fact to its maximum advantage. Thus, Iran should be clear that if it wants a more amenable understanding of its position, it will also have to consider what makes it currently impossible.

Is that any clearer?

After a long time watched Alastair Crooke. While the whole video worth watching for the challenges inside Israel's political system, the desire for Trump to exit this war, starting about this time of the video, Crooke briefly talks about the so-called Isfahan Rescue Mission. You know some of us have wondered about that and we know how that pilot rescue mission has been hush hushed.

As expected you choose to remain stuck on justifications, while ignoring the effects. Not my problem. :D

For the present war, as much as Iran would like USA to remove its support from Israel, its own policies make it very difficult for USA to actually do so. And Israel happily continues to exploit this fact to the maximum.

Quite bitter actually, like truth nearly always is:
