| #6 Information gathering. As it turns out, vapourware is wonderful for Nakhba Day parades to scare the rubes, but not so useful when flung in the air in a mass attack. And it’s so humiliating when everyone notices. |

| #5 Iran's view is also changed. Since many of their ballistic missiles failed and almost all the rest were shot down, that seems to indicated that any Iran nuke aimed at Israel might land in Iran, or Iraq or Jordan or the West Bank. |

| #4 #3, It is my understanding it was a probe attack. Information gathering. The result shows a measured response. If you want Russian and China's support you must show restraint. A slow measured management if you have no diplomatic efforts. Iran's future is with Russia and China. The West has no agreements it will honor. |

| #3 The fact that so many weapons were launched says one thing. The fact that it was apparently ineffective is another kettle of fish entirely. |

| #1 The tone of this article speaks volumes to myself. I would not want Yonah Jeremy Bob advising my administration. He seems to dream in a nightmarish world of fantasy. So his speculations direct what future actions Israel is to take?. Irrevocably is a fantasy in itself. Where are the negotiations. Is this to be another Ukraine proxy war with no end insight. Use up Israel; its people, its war materials and financial resources. Russia and China will back Iran. That is the irrevocable shift. The west will sanction this and sanction that and drive Russia, China and Iran closer together. Finally I am convinced Iran has the bomb. The Iranians low profile shows low engagements. Biding for time, Expectations. |
