Iran’s recent attack on Israel came in response to the attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus a The Iranian attack on Israel was the second in history against Israel by a non-neighboring country (Iraq, 1991). On 17.1.1991 and for a month Saddam Hussein’s Iraq had launched 42 Scud missiles against Tel Aviv and Haifa as part of Iraq’s war with the US over Kuwait. However, the Iranian attack is the first, possibly unique in military history worldwide, in terms of size, number of means, technological level of organization and concept of implementation.

Previously, Tel Aviv’s purpose in attacking the Iranian consulate in Damascus was to distract Israeli and global public opinion from Israel’s failure and apparent defeat in the already seven-month war with the Hamas Palestinians. At the same time, due to the impasse for Tel Aviv in the Gaza war, the Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate was also an attempt to distract Israel to generalize the war and involve the USA with the aim of an unimpeded Israeli attack on Rafah and the creation of fait accompli with the possible expulsion of Palestinians to Egypt.

The Israeli leadership and public opinion have been alarmed by the message of the Iranian attack. Tehran has sent a three-fold message to Tel Aviv: a) Israel is no longer fireproof, b) the geopolitical balance of power has already shifted to Israel’s disadvantage, and c) the geopolitical issue of this attack is not just the prestige of the other side, but the Palestinian Question by ending the war in the Gaza Strip and establishing an Independent Palestinian State.

Gone are the days when Israel enjoyed superior military technology over the Arab and Islamic states in general. The Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979 and the technological advances in military technology since then have changed the balance of power to the extent that Israel is no longer able to face two and three armies alone. Hamas proved for the first time that the Palestinians can successfully fight on their own for many months the otherwise superior Israeli army. Confessing their own inadequacy of deterrence, the Israelis themselves are now seeking alliance with pro-Israeli Arab regimes for fear of defecting the latter to the pro-Palestinian side. However, the general trend of things shows that the creation of an independent Palestinian State is the only solution to the chronic impasse of insecurity that has been created.

In general, the Iranian attack against Israel was a warning shot of a limited extent and had the character of a military exercise of readiness and ballistics of the opponent’s capabilities in real engagement conditions. It also sent a message of unity and victory to the Palestinians and allied countries that make up the Palestine Resistance Front

Whether this exercise turns into a war will depend on both sides, and especially Israel, which is already caught in the quicksand of Hamas in the Gaza Strip. With Hamas remaining strong in Gaza, Iran has less incentive to seek war at this time.

Iran’s message to Israel’, you have carte blanche to destroy our embassies around the middle east, and kill our Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, including Generals, and we will give you 72 hours notice, of our ostensible retaliation, for your terrorism against us!

 “However, the Iranian attack is the first, possibly unique in military history worldwide” for the fact that the Iranians gave the Jews, 3 days notice of their ostensible retaliation against the genocidal Jewish state, which included the flight paths of their Drones and Ballistic missiles, and their intended targets.

The Judeo-US Empire has used up a vast amount of their weapons and hardware, in the Russo-Judeo war in the former Ukraine.

The Judeo-US Empire has never been in a weaker position, and now would be the perfect time for the Persians to attack Israel, and wipe this scourge from the Middle East.

I am getting sick and tired of hearing how Western media keeps proclaiming “over 300 missiles were launched at 1srae!…’ how dare they launch such a big attach. Iran’s goal was to hit 1srae! In retaliation, not to have just another demonstration of how Western defences can shoot down missiles.
