Iranian Foreign & Resistance Front Strategy & Operations

[Tijani]

It is unfortunately true that Iran's support for Lebanon was surprisingly minimal.
Despite all the time that had passed, it became evident that Hezbollah was barely armed.
There were too few rockets, missiles, and drones—everything was in short supply.
Regrettably, people have learned that even with Iran’s support, they would only end up losing the war.
This is not to say that Iran should have sent a massive ground force to Lebanon.
But why was there a need to limit even the supply of inexpensive short-range ballistic missiles and rockets?
Were the muftis so terrified of Israel?
Just as Syria’s Assad, fearing assassination, never dared to fight Israel.

Garcia! Come on! Even you can't really believe what you're writing here? Iran took some blows but as I've stated. It's a long existential battle to free West Asia from zionist occupation. No one ever said if would be for free nor easy. We're going to loose a couple of battles from time to time but the war will be won. Just because the big ticket items weren't used doesn't mean that they are limited. There's a strategic imperativ to take into concern. There are highly capable people responsible for such decisions. Committing suicide and wholesale destruction of one's society to achieve victory is Pyrrhic at it's best.

in 2024 Israel's defence budget was $55 billion - this is 11% of Israel's current GDP

Iran's 2024 military budget (using the free market exchange rate) was $7.4 billion - this is less than 2% of Iran's current GDP

You're being way too nice Persian. If you count in all the freebies they get from the occupied West then it's probably the double, if not more than so. They're not a self sustaining society. Despite all their ballyhoo they wouldn't survive a year without the West's social welfare handouts!

US gave Israel around $20 billion of military support in 2024 but it's not clear if that is included in the budget of $55 billion (I don't think it is)

the spending as a % of GDP is quite incredible (11%), I really wonder how they spend so little on the other areas

by comparison the USA with the world's largest military budget spends only 3-4% of its GDP on its military

LOL@ Ayatollahs who thought they could rally "Islamic Ummah" to fight Israel. They did not know that majority Islamic countries live on Jew Debts and aids, mere colonies of Anglo-Jew Mafia. Ayatollahs are illiterate & stupid.

Or maybe the ayatollahs know many Muslim countries "live on Jew debts and aids" and want to show them it is possible to live off Jew debts and aids.

They don't. Economically the zionist entity is a sinking ship. Haaretzs claims that 30 % of the population is living in poverty. That means that it's probably an even higher number. It's a failed western societal experiment.

Nearly 30 percent of Israel's population lives below poverty line, new report finds

They have very very low levels of debt to service since they get so much economic, and military aid, in addition to preferential trading arrangements that encourage large FDI inflows into Israel. We dont know what the debt levels have rised to recently, but probably within management limits given how other countries manage. Given the genocide, reduced FDI and economic activity, the next few years will be interesting economically for Israel.

not true. their debt to GDP ratio has increased to 69% in 2014. this is elevated but within normal levels for a developed economy.

Israeli debt to GDP ratio.

They are currently nearing 70%. In 2024, they secured substantial loans to support the war, in addition to significant aid from the US. When you factor in their enormous military budget, it becomes clear just how much economic and financial harm this war has inflicted on them.

The reason why they talk about deporting the Palestinians from Gaza is actually very obvious: they can't afford this war infinitely. It's not sustainable, not even with full US backing.

If the trend continues the one that should be worried it is more Israel than Iran.
Israel and US are insulting arabs suggesting they should pay the party in Gaza. Even Sisi are warning Netanyahu.

Leiter called it a "clear violation of the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel - after some 45 years."
