I’ll be surprised if they hit them hardSounds very limited so far.
They can probably do far more damage with limited strikes than Iran can do with a barrage.I’ll be surprised if they hit them hard
It looks like they hit some “nonsense” missle sites and bases.They can probably do far more damage with limited strikes than Iran can do with a barrage.
Sounds like they limited themselves to a few military sites around Tehran. Probably trying to remind Iran they can get through their defenses, while still giving Iran an opportunity to downplay the damage and back away from a retaliation.It looks like they hit some “nonsense” missle sites and bases.
I figured they would hit some minor oil systems…I was wrong.
Yep…just letting them know….for nowSounds like they limited themselves to a few military sites around Tehran. Probably trying to remind Iran they can get through their defenses, while still giving Iran an opportunity to downplay the damage and back away from a retaliation.
If Iran backs off and says this wasn't worth retaliating to, that's win-win-win-win. Israel wins, Iran wins, the region wins, and for us here across the pond, the US wins big (especially Biden/Blinken).Yep…just letting them know….for now

I will be surprised if Iran responds….in the near term, obviouslyIf Iran backs off and says this wasn't worth retaliating to, that's win-win-win-win. Israel wins, Iran wins, the region wins, and for us here across the pond, the US wins big (especially Biden/Blinken).
But we already know that Israel can hit Iran in myriad ways the likes of which Iran is entirely incapable. So if Iran is being given a bit of an off-ramp here, they need to realize this is an undeserved gift.
The real test will be how Iran responds when Israel continues to bomb Hezbollah or even Syria.
As you mentioned, this was a strong push and a "back off man". The Israelis retaliated, demonstrated capability (and lack thereof by their opponent), and made it a small enough hit that it doesn't necessarily require a response. Ball is in Iran's court, they decide if this was prelude or finale.Time for some fun.
Just goes to show what a hot bed the Middle East has been since 1948.
