What are the implications of Iran's missile attack on Israel? | Inside Story

For the first time ever, a direct Iranian attack on Israel - a barrage of drones and missiles fired in retaliation for a strike on the Iranian consulate in Syria.
Most were shot down - but the world watches with deepening concern.
Who'll be saying what to whom - to try to bring calm?

[@sonderman8079]

Iran used three waves by plan. Their only intention was to do a show of force and to hit a military base (F-35 houses) and a military airport. Both hit successfully and destroyed. Iran had no intention of hitting any civilian or commercial targets. They send a large number of drones first to engage enemy defence system knowing well that these slow drones (180 km/h) will be downed. Shortly after the cruise missiles were sent simply to open the way for the hypersonic missiles which were the real weapons to hit the bases, which they did. Iran flew a large number of drones across the skies of various cities including Jerusalem just to show no place is safe. Otherwise Iran's operation code named "True Promise" was 100% success. US was made aware that it was going to be a light operation. It also cost the enemy $1.3B to down some low cost drones.

He suggests that Iran did what the west had hoped it would do in sending out a very "low-level" attack against Israel, but at the same time it did hit a couple of sensitive Israeli military targets with a high degree of precision. So in other words... along with their "low-level" response this time, they sent a serious warning.

[@OPTIMUS4020]

Another thing, how come they are full force in condemning Iran with its barrage of missile which are eventually intercepted not only by Israel but by US and UK (hence it didn’t caused much damage) but not a single one of these leaders from the west has condemned the ongoing genocide being inflicted to the defenseless, vulnerable and weak Palestinian. The HYPOCRISY baffles everyone who has a functional and logical mind!

[@s.a.8618]

Yosi contradicts himself. From one side he claims there has been no damage when Israel itself says there has been minor damage to their best protected airbase, Nevatim. From the other side he says Iran did not want to hurt Israel too much for international reasons. How do you know Iran did not want to hurt Israel too much when you believe that 99% of its drones and missiles were intercepted? Maybe those intercepted drones and missiles were heading to very high value targets? - Second which private Satelite imaging companies are independent? not influenced by the US or Israel? I heard the same thing from Americans after Iran hit Ein-Alasad base in Iraq. One American pundit even said that Iran missiles plough some grassland and killed a bunch of cows -- not knowing that Ein-alasad is in desert and there is no cows hundreds of kilometers around it, the poor pundit thought of Wisconsin perhaps -- until US itself for unknown reason release the video of Iranian missiles hitting the base with high precision.

An estimated cost of the Iron dome use was around 1.2 billion dollars. 300 drones shots down, the missles cost $40.000, 50,000 you can bump up this number if u factor the cost for the war planes used and pilots salary. So even if every drone got shot down, it's good economics. I'm not sure about the cost for Irans drones, but it's a lot cheaper than the iron dome system.

@nm5734 1% hit is what Iran said? Also, it was a clear that all they were doing was a show of force, and to not mess with them or push them further. Even so, that's nothing in comparison to what Isreal has done to a ppl of Gaza for the past 6 months. This is a clear escalatory action by israel in initially attacking a Iranian consulate. They want the world to turn a blind eye to what they are doing in Gaza. And if they stop Yahoo will be put on trial and forced out. He purposefully did this and won't stop, which will be, as others have said, fatal for him and for Isreal
