>>507473367 (OP)Isrela wouldn't have initiated if they didn't know Iran had he means to retaliate. Their information network is one of the best in the world, even antimsemites can agree.
They attack was an attack of opportunity, because they knew they could get away with it in the court of public opinion. It will dreadfully cripple one of their adversaries in the region. Worth the tradeoff for them, even if it is dishonorable and unethical.
Honestly, Iran shouldn't have talked shit without the ability to back it up. They have no options other than a captualtion regime change.
