The fact that any of them are still alive is only because Israel was constrained from using its nuclear weapons.
Bibi got exactly what he wanted. He killed Israel's top 10nuclear scientists in the first 10 minutes of the attack. There has been no huge international outcry as a result of the attack so he now knows that he can do it again without consequences. He dragged fascist boot licker Donald Trump into the conflict so now he knows that the US will run to his aid whenever he needs it.
Trump got exactly what he wanted. He was horribly embarrassed by the fact that everyone was laughing at his dollar store dictator parade and got to flex his strongman muscles. Never mind the fact that the attack was a near total failure, his fascist bootlicking base believe that his approval rating is at 99.9% and that he completely wiped out Iran's nuclear capabilities.
Other than that, though, Iran definitely won.
Does that change the fact that Tel Aviv and Haifa got hammered?
Israel could not stop Iran from hitting Israeli cities. Israel's air defence was shown to be ineffective.
The title was, "Iran says powerful military response forced Israel to halt aggression unilaterally". That isn't what happened. It's delusional.
I would venture to guess that the unilateral phrasing is referring to the fact that Iran's response did force Israel to turn to the US to intervene and broker a pause in hostility... thus halting Israel's aggression.
They did this without the offered aid from Russia or China. Unlike Israel who started the aggression and required the US to step in on its behalf
Hasn't Iran been funding attacks by proxies on Israel for years? Weren't they supposed to be part of a coordinated attack against Israel but Hamas jumped the gun?
You're here to troll. Have a nice day.
Reality is trolling? Interesting.
You're calling me a troll because your normal tankie nonsense is working and you don't have anything else to try.
If you actually want to have a conversation based on reality, I'm here.
