Description

Israel Launches Limited Strikes on Iran - Israeli missile strikes on Iran appear to have been limited, in part to the limitations of Israel’s long-range conventional military power; - This and a previous strike conducted in April may be providing Israel with information toward a larger more devastating attack on specific facilities; - The geo-strategic shift of power in the region has limited US-Israeli military power; - Iran’s ballistic missile forces and asymmetrical military power including through organizations like Hezbollah and Ansar Allah continue to expand as US military power, including through its Israeli proxies, diminishes; - Israel struggles in its offensive in southern Lebanon against Hezbollah according to the Western media as US forces find themselves increasingly isolated and with limited weapons and ammunition; - As the balance of military power shifts in the region, so does the geopolitical balance of power, with nations like Saudi Arabia slowly working out from under subordination to the US and working closer with the global majority; - As time continues to run out for the US and its proxies, the temptation to resort to extreme measures will increase, requiring Iran and its allies to continue carefully managing escalation; Resources: Lead Up Guardian - Strike on Iran will make world understand Israel’s might, says defence minister (October 23, 2024): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/oct/23/strike-on-iran-will-make-world-understand-israels-might-says-defence-minister Defense Post - USAF Orders Ramp Up of JASSM, LRASM Air-Launched Missiles Production (August 2024): https://thedefensepost.com/2024/08/20/usaf-jassm-lrasm-missiles/ Reuters - Ukraine says Russia has launched over 8,000 missiles, 4,630 drones during war (February 2024): https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-says-russia-has-launched-over-8000-missiles-4630-drones-during-war-2024-02-22/ BBC - What leaked US assessment of Israeli plans to strike Iran shows (October 22, 2024): https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz6w6p8x7p8o Financial Times - Military briefing: the Israeli missiles used to strike Iran (April 2024): https://www.ft.com/content/56064051-e880-43db-b7e9-a56717c8c38b Brookings Institution - Which Path to Persia?

Update for Sunday October 27, 2024: 1. Many are claiming Israel used between 100-200 war planes without providing any evidence at all to confirm any of this; 2. Leaked US documents estimated only about 40-50 missiles were being prepared - if there were 100+ planes half or more served in a support capacity - and yes 50-100 missiles is a limited attack considering Russia regularly fires 100+ missiles per attack on Ukraine over the past 2 years; 3. Many are drawing conclusions regarding Iranian air defenses based on a handful of videos - this is hardly conclusive evidence; 4. We need to be objective about this - not pick and choose what evidence we want to consider, and what evidence we will side-step because it makes us uncomfortable; 5. Iran itself admits at least 2 soldiers manning air defense were killed - it has admitted many more have died at bases that were targeted - and Iran itself admits bases sustained damage - so obviously some of these Israeli missiles made it through and hit their targets - to think any nation is capable of 100% success in air defense is unrealistic; 6. Comparing recent videos of Israel's attacks with those of Iran's in early October are purely for propaganda purposes - full conclusions cannot be drawn from either - let alone used to compare the two attacks - more information is needed which will take time and patience; 7. Admitting facts, including the loss of Iranian soldiers and damage to their base does not equate to "supporting Israel," it is simply acknowledging reality;

Describing an attack involving over 100 fighter jets as 'limited' is certainly astonishing. It seems that after the operation did not succeed, there is an attempt to mitigate the consequences.

The Western "news" called Israeli missile attack "precise" despite no evidence of ground impacts to guage how precise the atrack was. Meanwhile, the Iranian missile strike was not given such an adjective. This gives the idea to the reader that Irans weapons are not precise, despite having ample number of ground impacts to show that their retaliation on Oct. 1st was indeed precise.
