What Israel's retaliatory strikes mean for Iran | DW News

Israel says it has concluded its strikes on military targets in Iran. Loud explosions were reported around the capital Tehran. The IDF said it hit Iran's missile manufacturing facilities, surface-to-air missile arrays and other aerial capabilities across several areas of the country. Israel's attack is in response to Iran's ballistic missile barrage earlier this month, in which around 200 missiles were fired at Israel.

[Samboo]

How sad deleting comments for calling the attack a failure lol

[ActiveDodger]

When Iran hit Israel, the skies, and ground lit up. Israel was supposed to deliver a spectacular counter strike, and it shows flickers. Have I been watching the wrong videos?

[Khansaabkhan]

Iranians were told they would receive 10 years in prison for sharing the footage.

Isrl defends itself against its own attack on Iran embassy and killing a foreign diplomat on Iranian soil.

[Bluebaggins]

Israel bombed Iranian embassy in Lebanon, a declaration of war. The US supporting Israel in any further action against Iran makes them complicit.

[muzzamirlukabwe]

Evn the host doesn't know what Israel hit, is asking the guests 😂😂😂

[Nga-yk]

The whole region against one tiny nation😂😂😂😂😂😂

During his term, Obama empowered Iran by allowing it to advance its nuclear capabilities, avoiding sanctions, and unfreezing billions in Iranian assets. He disregarded Netanyahu’s repeated warnings about the threat Iran poses to the entire West, which contributed to the harsh and baseless smear campaign against Netanyahu. Obama aimed to ally with Iran, believing it could become the leading power in the Middle East, despite Iran’s explicit calls for confrontation with the U.S. Iran is striving to restore the glory of the Persian Empire era, fighting relentlessly with all means available to achieve it.

[wearebecomedeathstar]

Isreal failed to hit much of anything.

[enricopallazzo]

None of these news outlets understand what a scouting attack is? 😂

[akhalil]

Israeli Diapers Forces IDF is FKN with the wrong enemy.
