A Resounding Strategic Failure for Iran

 

 Iran and its jihadist Middle Eastern axis sustained a resounding strategic defeat in recent hours.

The combined Iranian attack on Israel in the early hours of April 14, comprising 170 UAVs, 30 cruise missiles and 120 ballistic missiles—more than 300 aerial threats in total—was successfully intercepted by Israel and partner militaries.

The fact that 99% of the threats were intercepted means that a central pillar of Iranian force projection—its missile and UAV arsenals—has been proven to be no match for Israel’s Air Force, its multi-layered air defense system, or for regional cooperation with allies.

For decades, Iranian military industries have been developing and producing missiles and UAV capabilities. These capabilities were used to arm Iran’s elite military force, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and Iran’s proxies.

While Iran often activates its proxies to attack its enemies, it has, until now, kept its own powder dry, based on the idea that the firepower Iran amassed on its own soil would keep Israel, Sunni Arab countries, and the United States deterred, and would stop Israel from acting too fiercely to disrupt Iran’s hegemonic plans.

Biden the "shmuck" tells Israel not to "retaliate" Imagine if Iran Launched 100 Missiles at New York

 

*Biden told Netanyahu, U.S. Won’t Join Attack on Iran:*

U.S. President Joe Biden reportedly told Netanyahu that Israel should see Iran’s failure to cause major damage to Israel as a “win,” and that the U.S. won’t join attack on Iran.

“By leaking Biden’s conversation with Netanyahu in this way, the leaker has increased both the likelihood and importance of an Israeli response—given the dynamics that led Tehran to calculate it could launch this attack without consequence in the first place,” wrote Richard Goldberg, a senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

“Can you imagine 100 ballistic missiles being fired on the United States and your closest ally calling to say, no need to retaliate, you should feel really secure right now?” he added. “Now imagine our country was the size of New Jersey. And we were fighting a seven-front war of survival.”

“No, Joe Biden. The Iranian regime’s failure to do major damage with 350 missiles is not a ‘win’—9 million Israelis spent the night being terrorized,” wrote NGO Monitor founder Gerald Steinberg. “The regime must pay a major price so that this will not be repeated. And better—showing them the door.”

Jason Brodsky, policy director at United Against Nuclear Iran, wrote that Biden’s response, “spinning an unprecedented attack by Iran on Israel,” is “akin to telling the victim of a bully—he didn’t make impact, so deescalate.”

“With this message  that the US won’t support an Israeli counterattack on Iran, Biden is signaling that his ‘don’t’ to Tehran didn’t mean anything,” Brodsky added.

Iran literally attacked the Al Aqsa Mosque but Israel Intercepted it! Why????

 

This was a great opportunity to allow Iran to bomb the Har Habayis once and for all. I would like to know who made the decision to intercept this "holy" missile! 

Former US Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman presented his "takeaways" to the massive Iranian attack and the response of Israel and its allies to the attack.

Friedman noted on social media that the attack against Israel, with more than 200 drones, cruise and ballistic missiles was "more aggressive and pervasive than expected".

"Israel’s response so far has been magnificent", he emphasized, "intercepting 99% of the incoming".

Friedman added that lots of help was provided by USA, UK, France and Jordan. "We are grateful", he wrote.

"Iran literally attacked the Al Aqsa Mosque", Friedman stressed, "Had Israel not intercepted the missile, 3rd holiest site in Islam was destroyed".

The former Ambassador stated: "This is the time for Israel, the West and the moderate Sunni nations to unite against this evil, terrorist nation".

Friedman then later added: "The fact that Israel and its Allies obliterated Iran’s onslaught of drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles doesn’t give Iran a free pass on its attempted murder on a mass scale. Iran needs to get a clear message that it cannot do this again".

Too Funny for Words: Peleg Decides To keep Open the Yeshiva because The Army Ordered the Closing of All Educational Activity Due To Iran Bombordman

 This is the craziest story in a very long time! The Army canceled all educational activities for today until the Iranian onslaught eases. All Yeshivois Ketanois closed. This is for their own safety as its almost impossible to get their students to a miklat in time, in case of a missile attack. And we did have a very difficult night! Practically all Kollim and the Yesivois for the older Bochrim are closed anyway because of "Bein Hazmanim" 

So what do you think happened? The Yeshiva of the Peleg Gangsters run by the Charedie Terrorist, Deutsch (Last Name Means "German," ironically) ordered his Yeshiva to be open. 

The funny part is that this Yeshiva with their R"Y Deutsch/German are the biggest "mevatlei Torah" in the entire world. Every single day, and I mean every day, they close their gemmaras and go out to protest and block traffic causing untold chaos and bedlam. To them "Bein Hazmanim" is all year long! 

Peleg announced  "Studies in the educational institutions will be held as usual " 

LOL 

"As Usual?" How sick is that? 

Despite the announcement from the Home Front Command canceling all educational activity due to the security situation in Israel, the "Jerusalem Faction" (Hapeleg Hayerushalmi) announced Saturday evening that studies in their educational institutions would proceed as usual.

"To the administrators of the institutions: By the order of our teacher, the head of the yeshiva, the great Rabbi Asher Deutsch, studies in the educational institutions will be held as usual - across the country," a statement on their behalf read.

The Lithuanian community leader Rabbi Lando, on the other hand, announced the closing of educational institutions, and a statement on his behalf read: “For now, do not open the Torah study halls tomorrow morning. Towards the coming days, a formal announcement will be issued tomorrow morning accordingly to the situation."

The hasidic sects of Vizhnitz and Gur also announced that there would be no studies in the educational institutions of the community.

Due to the tense security situation, the rebbe of Gur even canceled his vacation in the city of Arad near Dimona, and returned to his residence in Jerusalem.

COMMUNIST UC BERKELEY LAW DEAN, SHOCKED WHEN MUSLIM STUDENT DISRUPTS HIS PARTY

This Commie Dean doesn't like it when it happens to him, and he happens to be an Irael-Hater! 

 Shocking video footage captured the moment an anti-Israel student protester interrupted a dinner party honoring Berkeley Law School graduates to rail against the Jewish state — at the home of the Jewish dean.

What should have been a celebratory occasion for upcoming graduates quickly turned into an unsettling confrontation over the Israel-Hamas war after the student disrupted the event, hosted by Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of Berkeley Law School, and his wife, Professor Catherine Fisk, in their backyard.

Law student Malak Afaneh can be seen in the footage, shared widely on social media, standing up and offering the traditional Islamic greeting in Arabic, which translates to “Peace and blessings upon you all,” before demanding the university divest from corporations funding Israel’s role in the war.

This longer video of the confrontation at Dean Chemerinsky and Professor Fisk’s home shows in more detail just how insufferable these students are.

And Chemerinsky has confirmed it’s a private residence (see below), which, as you can see, they were asked to leave repeatedly. pic.twitter.com/ojbaK1fnuM

Hamas Rejects Israel’s Most Flexible Hostage And Ceasefire Deal Yet They Want to Continue Killing

 

According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office and the Mossad intelligence agency, Hamas has rejected the ceasefire and hostage offer put forward by Israel last week in Cairo. The proposal, which included “significantly greater room for flexibility” on Israel’s part, was aimed at securing the release of 133 hostages held in Gaza.

“The rejection of the proposal from the three mediators proves that [Hamas leader Yahya] Sinwar is not interested in a humanitarian deal and in the return of the hostages,” the statement read. “He continues to take advantage of tensions with Iran to try to unite the theaters and to achieve a general escalation in the region.”

Despite the rejection, Israel has vowed to continue working towards achieving its goals. “We will turn over every stone to bring back the 133 hostages from Gaza as soon as possible,” the statement assured.

99% Of 300 Drones And Missiles Fired At Israel Successfully Intercepted

 IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari revealed in a press conference that Israel’s air defenses successfully intercepted 99% of the approximately 300 projectiles fired by Iran overnight. The attack included 170 drones, all of which were downed outside of Israel’s borders by Israeli and allied forces. Additionally, 30 cruise missiles were launched, with none entering Israeli airspace, and 25 being downed by the Israeli Air Force.

Hagari also reported that Iran fired 120 ballistic missiles at Israel, with some managing to bypass defenses and hitting the Nevatim Airbase in southern Israel. However, the damage was minimal, and the airbase is operating normally.

The IDF spokesman also mentioned that a few drones and missiles were launched from Iraq and Yemen during the attack, but none entered Israeli airspace.

The IDF also released images of fighter jets returning from their missions after downing Iranian drones and cruise missiles.

Iran vs Israel: How potential conflict could look according to experts: 'Already at war'

 

War between Iran and Israel would be to no one’s benefit in the region as it would likely end up in a pitched battle that regional forces would keep away from, experts told Fox News Digital. 

"Frankly, none of the Arab states would want to take either side in this conflict," Matt McInnis, senior fellow for the Institute for the Study of War, explained. "They may inevitably be drawn into it, and I think that's one of the things that Iran is very worried about."

"[Iran is] not quite sure if Israel’s efforts over the last few years to increase diplomatic and security relationships with states like Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and others are sufficient to keep these states out of a larger conflict," McInnis added.
