Can the media in the US, Europe, and Israel salvage Israel's reputation in light of today's strike?


Yeah, they will certainly try. Their biggest power of today is the power of lying and living in delusions. There will be 5 separate 'narratives' to help Israel.

But Israel certainly made it 100 times harder for them, after all, it would've truly been better if they didn't do anything.

Instead of sending those 3 quadcopters. It doesn't show their deterrence, but how anxious and perturbed they were by Iran's historic attack.

They don't know what they are doing anymore, Iran's attack totally took them by storm, and they are now in a separate dimension probably.

They realized what truly Iran accomplished and that they have to respond, but at the same time now fear Iran and its actions more than ever.

If this is all it is laughably weak, this won't even satisfy their domestic political pressure. Hell maybe even the Iranians are probably a bit baffled, I guess I'll wait for more details

It's similar to the well-known "Balakot fiasco," in which Indians pretended to have destroyed a local madarsa and killed several militants, while actuality, they just dropped couple of fuel tanks in the forest and fled.

That seriously cannot be it, there has to be more, otherwise, Israel’s status as Americas unsinkable carrier in the Middle East would ultimately be an empty statement.
Can we verify it is indeed just small drones (like how small? Shahed small or DJI small)? I find it hard to believe unless it is still ongoing
Iran claims the drones originated from the Kurdish region of Syria. Not possible for small drones to reach central Iran from Israel.

It's all about narratives though.

Let's remember how the spy balloon of last year became a major incident and it turns out the balloon wasn't equipped with anything that would distinguish it from a weather balloon. Intrusion of an armed military drone is many orders of magnitude worse than that.

While yes, we can say it's essentially nothing, it all depends on how it's portrayed. If Israeli/Western media portrays it as a major symbolic event reestablishing the Israeli "right" to strike Iran without retaliation, then this will hold true in the western consciousness.

Exactly, that's was the notion my previous post(below).

Below is an example...

Probably more like lancet or shahid type of drones

This is gonna be a tough one for the spin doctors. I'm sure the western medias have their guys locked in a room brainstorming ideas for this one.... man I don't envy their job
