Really doubt that US can support Israel the way it could some 10 - 20 years ago. US main problem & focus is China. US jumping into a war for Israel is highly unlikely in this time and age. Israel alone can't do shit.
No, USA of today has done more compared to all other presidents combine, Biden was a lunatic and pedophile, his speeches often reflect his dislike towards Arabs and Muslims, he is a old sick man who is close to death and he wants to push the world towards Armageddon. US is more than willing to send its own sons and daughters to die for Israel, The damage Israel has done to US, China/Russia can only dream off.
 
they had US + UK + France + Jordan helping them

and many days to prepare

and this was just initial salvo

so overall I am not overly impressed, the Iranian strike was actually much more successful than I thought and now it's clear subsequent strikes will be even more successful
I am mostly referring to the videos filmed inside Israel. It all depends on what it was that we launched. I was expecting most of our drones to be intercepted, but not our BMs.
 
Hezbullah is far more organized and strong than it was back in 2006, and a full action from them with another Iran's major strike will overwhelm Israel's Air defense, the major advantage for Hez will be their close proximity from their Israel's targets, the AD might not have enough time to react or intercept and on top of that major land incursions from multiple directly will put pressure on Israel, I think they are betting on US intervention because since oct 7 the Israel has get away with everything with US help, whether its in the form on Munition supply or Veto'ing the UN resolution.
Yes I agree with your assessment above, it has been Bibi's desire to draw America into a wider conflict, so far the US have played it well with "warm words of support" and promises of aid and resupply - but didn't promise boots on the ground.
 
Iran retaliation attack against Israel. What is known so far:

The weapons

🔶 The Iranian attack involved drones, cruise and supersonic missiles, according to Iranian and Israeli officials and media reports

🔶 For the first time Iran used missiles with separable warheads to break through Israel's air defenses, according to IRGC

🔶 Iran used more than 200 rockets and drones, according to the statement by IDF. Anonymous Israeli officials claimed to Ynet that 99% of Iran's projectiles were intercepted.

🔶 The US and UK reportedly helped shot down some of the drones in the skies of Jordan, Lebanon and Syria

The damage

🔶 An airbase, from which the plane that attacked the Iranian consulate in Damascus had taken off, came under fire, IRGC reported

🔶 Hezbollah stated it struck Israeli air defense complexes in the Golan Heights with rockets and Israel stated it struck Hezbollah infrastructure facilities in Lebanon in response

🔶 The IDF base in the Negev desert was reportedly hit by 7 missiles and 7 rockets hit Ramon Air base in southern Israel

🔶 10-year-old boy from Bedouin village was reportedly wounded as a result of Iranian attack

The reaction

🔶 IRGC stated that the operation was a “success” and Iran's mission to the UN said the attack was a response to aggression against diplomatic facilities, citing the right to self-defense of UN Charter Article 51

🔶 The Iranian attacks were labeled as "unprecedented and blatant violation of Israel's sovereignty," by Israel in a letter to the chairman of the UN Security Council

🔶 Iran promised to double its next reaction if Israel will try to response, according to the Iranian Tasnim news agency

🔶 The US Navy dispatched the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Dwight Eisenhower towards Israel as UK Air Force's dispatched its Voyager KC2 refueling aircraft the same way

Will there be another attack?
Well based on this:
Israeli Channel 13, quoting a security official: We are preparing for additional waves of missiles and drones that Iran will launch towards Israel.

The answer is Yes, there is a considerable travel time from Iran to Israel so we can expect 0500 some updates.
 
It is too early to celebrate.

The response is yet to be seen.

But bravo to Iran, for now.....
 
Israel has 4 layers of BMD "Ballistic Missile Defence" as part of its homeland defense system. This includes Sling, Arrow, Patriot II, C-Dome, Iron Done and Iron Beam.
Iron beam isn’t online yet still in testing it’s fourth layer of defense would be America and any confirmed hits with THAAD
 
🔽Missiles have just been launched from Albourz province, Iran.
