>>507164314The simple fact is Israel know it can hit IRanian targets and fuck them up. Iran is not so sure it can launch an effective attack in response. If they try and fail then they lose all credibility as a regional power. Then they have blown any deterrence they may once have had, not just against Israel but against all their neighbors and against the US navy.
My guess is this this attackis gong against with e full secret approval and backing of the US.
"Lets see how effective our missile defenses are, and if by chance a few of theirs get through and do manage to hit anything of value then we can keep hammering them back at a rate of 1000 to 1"
Don't forget all the bullshit in the Iraq war where all those scud missiles turned out to be either duds or entirely ineffective.
