Israel should take Iran’s failed attack as a victory and not retaliate since no targets were destroyed

And should focus back on Rafah and hostage negotiations instead. At the end of the day Iran does not want to go to war with Israel or the U.S. the fact that this so called retaliation was warned 9 hours in advance is proof of this. It gave other countries, Israel and and its allies enough time to respond. And apparently Iran said the attacks achieved all its objectives (whatever that means) And that it’s not planning any further operations. Overall Israel got to show off its amazing Iron Dome, and Iran demonstrated their “strength” to Iranians and its supporters through their state media.

Just from a strict diplomatic standpoint Iran’s strike was retaliation for the ambassy bombing
@Julien And they walked into Netanyahu's trap. It would have been smarter by far if Iran had taken its grievances to the UN and the international court in The Hague, and raised the issue through friends in the G20 and the Brics grouping.

They could have threatened retaliation and then held back. They could have won sympathy in the global south and from anti-western allies such as China and Russia

@Julien A failed retaliation. And Israel did not strike an Iranian embassy
Julien · 36-40, M
@Puppycat23 they did. In Damas

@Julien It was a building next to the embassy that was hit.

@Puppycat23 agreed but some of their top ranking officers got killed in the process so of course they were going to use that excuse to attack Israel

@Aidankenny23 but they don’t get the propaganda win amongst iranian citizens.

@Aidankenny23 As if Iran would get justice at the Hague. No chance of that.
@Burnley123 no but they could have garnered sympathy among their allies, and could have showed restraint as they know it’s a war they cannot win
