How does it prove me wrong? IRGC wasn't attacked by PA?! Talk about reading comprehension.
It proves you wrong because Iran deliberately chose to attack Pakistani soil without prior warning.
Don't try and weasel your way out of this.
The army believed there would be a response, but you think there wouldn't have been. I see that as a contradiction.
The army has to be extra cautious, I do not. They have to weigh the risk and reward. Their calcus probably resulted in them thinking that the risk of escalation, even if it's 1% is too high.
Iran proxies had not attacked US army since 2009, and the US killed its fair share of Shia in Iraq. To say the state of affairs between Iran and US in 2020 Iraq was the same as Iran and Israel in Syria just shows how dishonest and inaccurate your analysis is. You'll twist the reality so your argument holds.
Yeah, that's not true. Iran directly funded anti-western forces in Afghanistan all the way until the taliban again took over.
I'm giving you historical examples, you're the one trying to use mental gymnastics to try and twist reality and deny the existence of those examples.
Iran has some advisors in Syria and not a large contingent as you falsely claim. Iran controls Syria? Are the US, Isis, Kurds and the Russians a joke to you. I can't take this level of trolling seriously. This is the way Iran has chosen to engage Israel in Syria, which is why Israel doesnt directly attack IRGC inside Iran no matter what Netanyahoo likes to say. Israel knows Iran will retaliate.
Let me be more specific, IRGC practically controls the Assad-run areas of Syria which is a majority.
There are thousands of operatives in Syria, no need to deny it. We all know this is true.
Israel doesn't directly attack inside Iran because Israel wants the US to do so. They want the US to invade Iran, not because Israel wouldn't get away with attack Iranian soil, but because they want Iran totally in ruin.
Regardless, reality remains reality. You denying the truth won't make it go away.
Iranians like you said Pakistan wouldn't respond, Pakistan did.
Now you're all coping because you picked the wrong target to try and bully.
