Nobody tries to take credit away from the Palestinians if that is what you're thinking . In the end, any (moral) victory will come at the hand of Palestinian will and determination. From Gaza to Haifa. But that doesn't take away from the fact that there has only been one country that has stuck...

This has nothing to do with disrespecting anyone. Who do you think has provided the factions in Gaza the means to strike deep within Israel? Who do you think is going to provide the funds for reconstruction/re-armament of these same factions after the conflict is over? Who do you think has made...

They cost between $40k-50k. The barrages are likely intended to oversaturate and/or to probe saturation in general. Iran/Hezbollah are likely paying very close attention.

Damn...these images:

How do you envision the conflict ends and which effect do you think this round of conflict will have on the balance of power between Hamas/PIJ and Israel?

Israel thought it could move with impunity and arrogantly establish absolute dominance on the entire region, fuelled by their self-perceived military invincibility as a result of some outdated victories in the past against incompetent conventional armies. Not any more. They will either wake to...

Agreed. This whole operation and change of tactics (bigger barrages of rockets to assess saturation) seems to hint at IRGC planning.

Hamas has recently been testing long-range rockets in the Mediterranean with Iranian support. Moreover, any new operation is likely coordinated with Iran, or at least get (tacit) approval by it, as Iran would fund the reconstruction/re-armament of these factions. Iran is very much involved in Gaza.

Iran is already involved in Gaza. Who do you think provides these factions over there with the means to strike deep in Israel?

Get off your high horse of this western propaganda shtick and try to see things clearly. They don't need to inject propaganda into the equation when their pro-active Middle East policy already is formed around containing Iran and to prevent Israel from losing its nuclear supremacy. The nuclear...

That's not true. The perception among the top brass in Israel is that Iran's nuclear program poses a critical threat to Israel's security and existence. The worry is not necessarily that Iran would use a nuclear weapon against it, but that a nuclear powered Iran would increase its agressive...

These people can't think logically. They are so hyped up by nationalistic feelings that these kind of maps gives them meaning and a sense of purpose in life, even if deep down they know that it will never become reality.

I cherish no illussion whatsoever that Iran is fully aware of the threat and has prepared accordingly. Its recent regional activities and statements by Iranian military officials all point out to this. When images of Iranian ballistic missiles hitting Israeli cities and critical infrastructure...

The point is that Israel threatening to attack Iran shouldn't (only) be seen in the wider competition/conflict between both sides. You have to understand that Israel feels extremely vulnerable/exposed at the moment. Their concerns have not been taken into account by the Biden administration...

Apparently the restoration of the JCPOA makes Israel so strategically vulnerable that it would've no other option than to attack Iran. At least that is what the pro-Israel crowd in Washington wants to convince Biden of...

What's with his strange mouth movement tho?

Let me try to focus my response as much to the possibility of Iran becoming a military dictatorship (I'll comment on the religious aspect another time), which you and others here apparently support, and which is what made me reacting to your post in the first place. I deliberately referred to...
