So, it was a whole load of nothing.

This is interesting.

In the previous image, we saw that the vehicles in the revetments had been moved

Satellite image of the Iranian Isfahan base after the Israeli attack

Last night, CNN published a satellite image of the Iranian Air Force base in Isfahan, which was the target of the Israeli attack at dawn on Friday.

The picture shows the damage to the radar of the Russian-made S-300 air defense battery stationed at the base. Other than an accurate hit on the air defense radar, no additional damage was caused to the base.

The S-300 battery stationed in Isfahan is part of the air defense system that protects the nuclear facility in Natanz, which is tens of kilometers away from Isfahan.

According to American sources, “the Israelis hit what they intended to hit.”

So just one S-300 radar was hit and nothing else. Iran needs to have a real airforce, ground based missile defence is not a substitute.

In the image from yesterday, all the vehicles are back in the revetments. It looks like they preemptively dispersed the system in anticipation of an Israeli strike and have now returned everything to their normal positions. I suppose it's possible that they left a dummy in the centre of the base for the Israelis to hit or maybe the intact radar we see now is a dummy they put there to save face

There is still the mystery of the burn marks. Can a missile strike make burn marks without any obvious crater?

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.

It was the U.S, UK, France Jordan. Prob the Saudi too by allowing the US use of its airspace and base. Where were Iran's Arabic brothers? Iran even told Turkey, which then told US, in advance of its attack, loll.

Not seeing a lot of evidence a lot of Iranian missiles made it through. I don't speak Farsi so can't tell what the other side is saying. Do you speak Farsi? If there was wide spread damage/death, do you think Israel would hold back the way it did.
