Iran missile attack on Israel is only a 'performative event' | Quotable

Marc Owen Jones, an associate professor, talks about how Iran’s attack on Israel wasn’t about destroying Israeli targets, but had more to do with playing to an audience at home.

Iran was sending a message. They got through the dome, they didn't overwhelm it which they could have. They forewarned the attack was coming - giving people time to get to safety. Military targets were attacked.

When it comes to Iran he say regime.
But when it comes to occupation regime then he simply say Israel.
This the double standards of western spokesperson

[LesHoa-DuMal]

Iran respecting civilian life, international law, rules of warfare/engagement
Israel and the west can learn a lot from Iran. Let’s hope they receive Iran’s message loud and clear

[abbasrizvi]

This dude is an Israeli mouthpiece by the way he talks about Israel and Iran. It's clear how hard it is for them to show they're unbiased

*Palestine 🇵🇸 is free from the sea to the river. Your sister Laila from Gaza ❤ 😢.*

[corazondelince]

It's not in the interest of Iran to be at war with Israel. Nonetheless, Iran wants Israel to know that Iran is capable of inflicting heavy damage on Israel if Iran decides to do so.

Unbelievable … He is still quoting from Netanyahu … a big time liar … when somebody uses a liar to be his/her reference … then, most probably he/she is a liar too …

[johntakiya]

Cool point. Remove the clouds covering the airbases satellite images. It's just a performative strike, surely nothing happened to both airbases, right?

[Jpliers]

What a load of rubbish from this guy propaganda all the way!

[kamranaldavood]

😂😂😂😂thinking like a Westerner, iran could have hit harder but Iran does not first want to inflame the region and secondly they want to have more surprises up their sleeve. Your assessment is just a spin.

[zahidabukhari]

You can always ask Qatar, Saudis, Egyptian to offer same sort of performance.
Oh he references Naytanyaho, says itself!

[unknown-hicf]

They retreated southern Lebanon when they had ground invasion. The thought they were fighting children but they were confronted with men.

[bdinaz]

This assumes the Iranians had the ability to launch more than they did.
This is an unknown.
How many missiles can they prepare in how short of time.
Unknown.

Unbelieavable … AlJazeera uses this Z10 lackey guy to be its source …

[nzhrhzn]

Haaretz just reported 20 soldiers ☠️, the video showing the damage was spreading throughout media until IOF told them to sensor it🤷🏻‍♀️

[Wiggy]

So you open by saying one thing, but conclude another way

[deaundreashannon]

I thought the same. With hundreds of thousands missals why only 180? Iron dome gonna get 90% of those.🤔 Theatrics 🤷🏿

[northwind]

I hear a lot of coping going on in the past couple of days.

[backpackpepelon]

One of the airfield got blown up pretty bad tho. Those missile are heavy, they sacrifices speed and maneuverability for heavier warhead, and one of the base got hit by like 10 of them.

🇮🇷iron balls> iron some. This dude Mossad agent or Saudi? 😂
