Absolutely. Did you read what I said? Did I say that Iran has hurt Israel more over the years? No. Did Iran smack Israel back inspite of US warning and support and power? Yes!
Just the fact that a country, which has been under sanctions for decades, is able to attack Israeli soil (under the shadow of US protection) shatters the myth of Israel invincibility in that middle east region. Also decreases US credibility and threats.
It's mainly the US, with small contribution by France and Jordan. Sure it's technically multinational but let's not make it sound bigger than it really is.
How did the US coalition Red Sea task force do against the Houthis? Or their coalition in Afghanistan or the Korean war go?
Iran did it alone, which makes it seem even more impressive. Even if Israel and the US hit Iran back harder, unless they completely destroy the country and its leadership, Iran's prominence likely has increased.
Are you sure about that? How do you know there wasn't more damage or senior Israeli officials killed in the strike and is just being kept hidden?
Do people believe that 99% of missiles/drones were shot down?
Lets do some math. They claim Iran fired around 300 missiles.
Then they say 99% were shot down. Then the US claims that 50% didn't work and they shot down the other 50%. Probably trying to convince people that Iran's drone and missile quality is bad.
So out of 300 projectiles, 50% didn't work, so 150 flew to Israel towards their target. Then they shot down 99%
So out of 150 missiles, only 1-2 made it through.
This mental gymnastics further degrades US and Israel credibility since they keep on changing their story
Sure the US and Israel is more powerful. Why isn't the US clamoring to start a war with Iran and taking over the country? They started wars for much less in the past eg. Iraq, Balkans.
Why do you guys bother replying with @Petrolicious88 when all he does is essentially offer western talking points ad nauseam rinse and repeat until you all are blue in the face. The man is a bonafide jai hindlandian from akhat Bharat land in the same vein and manner where that fake "@SinoSoldier" is from as well.
Tell me who had to beg Houthis and humiliate himself like this after failing to do anything there, offering endless concessions, after its shipping got blocked, meanwhile, it is the Houthis who don't want compromise and even won't accept the US suing for peace and begging lol. That's how much anyone fears the industrially impoverished US nowadays.
This is the biggest example, but also keep in mind how they smack their bases daily in Syria and Iraq. Yeah, Iran lost a few personnel, but the US lost billions of dollars against the Iranian attacks this time, Iran only tens of millions. The US's last full ally in the Middle East penetrated easily.
Israel's economy lost 20% last quarter of 2023, with half a million people left in just a few months, Iran widening the gap with them nationally.
From this description of the attack, then the Kheybar Shekan can be seen here:For those interested in ASSAULT/STRIKE logistics & evasion, read this "DETAILED ANALYSIS"
Clapper did not say that. What he said was "20% or so of the projectiles were neutralized""If Iranians wanted to, they could have overwhelmed Israeli air defenses. Talk of 99% interception is just non sense. Persians pinged their targets which were two airbases and the Intel base in mount Hebron".
Lmao imagine bragging about how powerful you are while literally offering terms of surrender to YEMEN of all countries. Make no mistake, what you see there are what an invader offers as terms of surrender when they bite off more than they can chew. If Ukraine got 10% of that they'd declare total victory.

How did Houthi defend against airstrikes though? There isn't much credible info regarding their arsenal, Any members here know more about them?Lmao imagine bragging about how powerful you are while literally offering terms of surrender to YEMEN of all countries.

They didn't really intercept much of it.How did Houthi defend against airstrikes though? There isn't much credible info regarding their arsenal, Any members here know more about them?
