    Iran is a real regional power. I don’t think its clear that Israel can win vs Iran.

    Biden/USA has already stated it won’t help Israel counter-attack Iran. If Israel wants to start a war over this, then its on them. We’ve washed our hands clean of it.

    As it stands, the Iranians think they hurt Israel with their missiles. While USA / Israel have intimidated the Iranian Revolutionary Guards by shooting down every single one of their missiles, proving that our defense is superior to their offense. Iran didn’t want a war (and definitely doesn’t want a war anymore), so letting things stay as they are is perfect.

        Well… more perfect than Israel retaliating or… us letting the missiles through.

        Its hard to complain about this current set of events. But we need to hope that Israel actually moves for peace now on that front. Israel can’t just be pissing off everyone in the region.

      This was a transactional response. Israel spent 300+ million more shooting down the targets than they cost. Because of drones, military and economic warfare overlap.
