Iran's Retaliatory Strike on Israel

Yeah. So I I I needed to talk about Iran because I realized, even though okay. I've got I've comments. People saying, why don't you talk about Iran? Why didn't you talk about this big event that happened in Iran?

And the thing is, part of it is I don't want to even respond to that because because I know that you're asking because you think I hate Iran. You're you're saying it like that and you're you're pretending that I want to avoid talking about Iran, that I want to ignore talking about Iran because you think that what they did was a huge victorious move, that they punished Israel and so on, and I'm jealous because I hate Iran and and I wish it was You know, because you're all of these scenarios playing in your head. It's like everybody's always trying to figure out, you know, they won't they don't listen to what people say. They just wanna know by what they say, can I tell who he loves and who he hates? You know?

It's like it's so grade school, so childish. So for people who think that I didn't talk about I was in real time talking about Iran and what was happening while the drones were in the air, while most of you were probably asleep in the West, I was awake and following the news, and I was talking about it in real time on our discussion group on Telegram. And I tweeted about I did a few tweets, but mostly I was active on the Telegram group. So I was talking about it. I also talked about it in the news breakdown that was actually recorded on the day, but it didn't get published until today due to technical issues.

But that's for members only. But the discussion group is open to to the public. And I even posted something at the time on the community page inviting people to come to the discussion group on Telegram.

The YouTube community.

On the YouTube, yes, sorry. The YouTube community page, an announcement or whatever, inviting people with the link to come to the discussion group on Telegram because we're following the events. And I'm participating in that, and I'm talking and sharing my thoughts and my perspective. But people think there's a couple of reasons that people think I don't want to talk about it. I think what can intuit from the type of people who think they're calling me out.

Uh-huh. I'm not talking about Iran. One, as I said, is because they think that I hate Iran and that I hate the Shia, whereas the whereas Iran and the Shia are the only ones in the world who are standing up to the West. Okay. There's that.

And then there's because they think that I said that there would be no attack.

Right.

That Iran wouldn't attack. Which isn't what I said. Obviously, what I said was I didn't think that there was gonna be some devastating World War three starting attack by Iran on Israel. Now, am surprised that they did attack directly from their territory. I am surprised by that.

I expected them to just mobilize their proxies, which they also did. But I was surprised that they attacked from their territory onto Israel's territory. But my surprise in that, my surprise from that was greatly minimized by the way it was done, which clearly shows orchestration choreographed. This was a choreographed and agreed upon between all parties performance of retaliation. And the thing is, when I say that, all of the type of people who made those comments who think that they're calling me out for not talking about Iran even though I was talking about Iran while they were probably sleeping, they're they're pro pro Iran.

Sure. Irrationally pro Iran. I don't have a position on it. I don't take a position on it. I just look at it for what it is.

No matter who it is. If it's Iran, if it's Saudi, if it's Egypt, if it's anybody else, I just try to look at it in the context of geopolitics and history. And so what's clear is that the attack was choreographed, the attack was performative, the attack was agreed upon, everybody knew about it, everybody was informed of the details, what to expect, when, how bad it was going be, how big it was going to be, and what even the expected damage was probably going to be. Who was going to be targeted? And this isn't strange for Iran.

This is how they do. And I'm not critical of that. This is the problem. You people will think, because you want to believe that it was like the beginning of a new Sarahadin that Iran did this, that finally, which by the way is true, finally, Iran actually launched, did something, back to their words up, which they haven't done ever. That's a fact.

Everybody likes to talk about it, but they haven't done actually anything until now. And the way they did it now was again, with full consent and and agreement between all parties. That's not also open to question, by the way. That's confirmed. It's confirmed that they told Washington exactly what they were gonna do.

They told all of the countries in the region, including Israel, what they were going to do. And again, this isn't strange for Iran. We know that that's the same thing that they did when they retaliated for the American killing of Soleimani. They did the exact same thing. And it's even on record with Trump talking about it in public about how he got the call from Iranian representatives explaining, because you did this, for the political optics, obviously, we have to hit you back, which he, as a a grown up, understood.

Yeah. I understand you have to do that for the political optics. That's what they told him. We're gonna launch, what, seventeen, eighteen missiles at such and such base. But don't worry, these are very precise guided missiles.

No one's gonna get killed, and none of them will actually hit the base. But we will launch this attack, and we have to do it for the political optics. So we know that this is how Iran does things. And what I keep trying to say is that when I say that, the people who are blindly in love with Iran and have an unrealistic ideologically informed view about Iran, whether positive or negative, they will either be offended by my saying that and think that I'm mocking Iran for pursuing this retaliation in that manner, or there will be people who will be very disappointed that it wasn't a real, so called real attack against Israel, that was supposed to unleash carnage and bloodshed across the region because they're very disappointed that the war hasn't escalated. Because again, like I said in the news breakdown, we do have neocon minded, warmongering chicken hawks among the Muslims.

Yeah. Some of them expressing disdain for the theatrics.

Yeah. Because they wish that it wasn't. But, in my opinion, this shows a remarkable, admirable level of responsibility and wisdom on the part of Iran, the way they did this. It was a very statecraft, the diplomacy and the statecraft, and the pragmatism, the practicality, the realism, the realpolitik, and and the discipline of how they did this, I approve completely. I think it's exactly the right way to do it.

It's a master stroke. What they did, it again, it's not open to question, obviously. They they let people know way in advance, then they sent out drones that take hours and hours to reach Israel, and predictably, and as was expected and intended, the overwhelming majority of those drones were shot down long before they reached Israel, which is what was supposed to happen. But some got through, and the ones that got through were the ones that were supposed to get through. This is my opinion.

You can take it or leave it. And the missiles that got through were supposed to get through. Because it was agreed upon. That's clear to me that and and the only reason that America would say because America said on Friday, they had a there was a a Pentagon official who said, basically, exactly what happened over the weekend, they said that that's what they were expecting to happen. Which means, you didn't intercept that information through intelligence channels.

They told you. Simple. They told you this is what we're going to do, and they agreed. And and and America told Iran, this is reported as well. America told Iran, okay, basically, if you do it like that, it's fine.

We won't respond. We ourselves, America won't respond. And even if Israel attacks you back, we won't participate in that. That's what they said before. That was the deal they made.

Iran kept their end of the deal, America has so far until now kept their end of the deal, which is surprising. But they are. And reason that they are is because of what I've been talking about all along, which is that Zionism is bad for business, Israel is bad for business, and things need to change. And the OCGFC, as I've been saying, and why I didn't think that there would be an attack from Iran, a devastating war beginning attack from Iran, because the OCGFC don't want that. They don't want a region wide war.

They don't want the entire region to set to be to be set on fire. Netanyahu and his group still thought that maybe they could do that. Now they just found out they can't. That's in my opinion. They just found out they can't.

They thought we'll bomb the Iranian embassy in Syria and see if we can escalate this thing. That's what we've been wanting all along. We're gonna try it, and it didn't work because things have changed. And, like, okay, if you're disappointed by the fact that there was a choreographed, agreed upon, performative retaliatory strike by Iran on the territory of Israel, on on military bases inside of Israel, if that disappoints you, then you have no sense of history. Because that's actually even worse.

That's that's an even worse indication for the future of Israel than if it had been a surprise attack and nobody knew about it. It's an even worse indication because it shows that America is turning away from you and and your impunity and unaccountability is at an end, or anyway, its time is running out. And you can't get away with everything that you used to get away with anymore, and we're not gonna back you up. And America is saying that we're not going to support you in an attack on Iran. This is all remarkable.

This is absolutely remarkable. And I think it has to be sending chill down the spine of every Zionist in the world to see that America isn't that your relationship is over. Basically, relationship is over. So the fact that it was that it was actually a choreograph that everyone knew about it before it happened, everyone had the full information about it before it happened, and it wasn't stopped. That's even more important and indicative about the demise of Israel, the demise of Zionism, than if it had been actually what many of you wished it had been, which is an actual surprise attack.

You know, an actual attack intended to to cause damage, because the real damage was quite minimal. The actual damage was quite minimal. And I would I would I wouldn't be surprised if before the attack Iran was even able to give them a dollar figure about approximately how much damage is gonna be done. Don't worry, we'll try to keep it under this much. I mean, the only person that got hurt was because one of the things got shot down, and they got hurt by shrapnel.

Nobody got hurt in in any of the actual strikes. And that shows the discipline and the self control, and the precision of the Iranian army. It also shows you that that's a thing that can be done. Armies can actually operate that way. When they say it's a precision guided missile, that means it's precise. It

It doesn't mean it blows up an entire apartment block. You know? If you if you thought that that the only way that an army can operate is the way that the American army operates or the IDF operates, what Yaron just showed you. There is actually a responsible, disciplined, and for lack of a better word, humanitarian way for an army to behave. There's a civil way.

There's a there's a respectful way. There's a self controlled way that an army can behave, and the Iranians just proved that. I mean, congratulations to Iran. They did a good job. They handled it very well.

It's not what most of the people who were talking about it think it was, but it's actually better than what they thought it was.
