By suggesting that this attack was real, but was thwarted by a collective defense, means that there is no need for the Israelis to retaliate because they already “took the win” as Biden supposedly told Netanyahu. In other words, be satisfied with how you handled led this with our help but don’t get cocky and try it again anytime soon.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That Jordan (who shot down some of the missiles) agrees that Iran gave warning, I think it's clear that Iran wanted to retaliate without escalating. Israel saying we'll reply when we're ready feels like they're happy to draw a line under it for now.
It’s the same thing they did when they attacked American troops after we killed the general. It’s a show of force but trying to minimize casualties. They want to show strength without escalating the situation.
Good to also add Saudi Arabia who also participated. This must have irked Iran.
Why would you think they weren't expecting that? Saudi Arabia and Iran have been rivals forever. That's what their whole proxy war in Yemen is/was all about.
And worse, they're the ones who hid Saddam's WMDs
I get the satire but in reality, they hated Saddam. He was a Sunni.
Also that part where the US funded Saddam to fight Iran
You do realize that Saddam's Iraq is what kept Iran and Saudi Arabia from being so aggressive right? And that both of them wanted him gone for that reason?
Because even after the Gulf War, it was still seen as a powerful enough military to take advantage of either two starting anything with each other.
Oh, they have their own nuke resources according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. Same guys that said Iraq had nothing.
Does anyone believe that Iran thought they were going to incinerate Jerusalem, only to be caught off guard that Israel's allies swooped in to help?
Or that Iran is incapable of working out the effects of their military operations?
There is a delta between Irans military capabilities and Irans military commands.
And they failed, so that should be the end of it.
