Of course. Pakistan put IRGC back in their box and we swallowed the first airstrikes inside Iran since 1988, showing Israel and USA that Iran has no real red lines.
Hopefully relations with Pakistan can return to normal and both sides can work on destroying terrorists on both sides of the border. But I doubt either side will forget this in a hurry.
What should IRGC have done? Re-retaliate? Shut down their drones/fighters? This is straight nagging without saying what could have been done
This would be advocating for the most useless and ridiculous escalation/war in Iran history that all our enemies wants and dreams of
No, F-22s and F-35s will not start to flow 1000km inside Iran because Pakistan did a COIN operation 50km from the borders in a area without any law and already corrupted that isn't defended, instead of waging war by implying that their fighters and drones should have been shot down and potentially killing them, Iran would risk a re-retaliation and a war that none can afford and would make our enemies attack us, this is the best scenario for Zionists and USA, money should be invested to put law in this place
It also showed to Israel and USA that there are no shelters for terrorists specially for Baku, don't compare USA and Israel from the point of view of our national security with Pakistan, Pakistan is not a threat or an existential threat to Iran, this is completely different but you seem to have been touched by this COIN operation, they didn't targeted military infrastructure or government bodies, they just did the same IRGC did, the difference being IRGC struck 100km inside and killed 2 children, and Pakistan struck 50km inside and killed 11 children/civilians (also we will never know how much of these terrorists have been killed), if this was done by the US it would be way more harmful if Iran didn't do anything.
US and Israel are the red lines in term of crossing airspace.
