After the Iranian strike, Netanyahu's hands were shaking: there was no such thing in the US plan

Last night, Iran launched a ballistic missile attack on Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's hands trembled as he read out the retaliatory threats. This is an important signal, the observer writes Pravda.Ru Lyubov Stepushova.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that Tehran, striking at Israel on the evening of October 1, exercised its right to self-defense in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter. He stressed that the strikes were carried out only on military and security facilities "responsible for the genocide in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon."

"Our actions are over unless the Israeli regime decides to provoke further repression. In this case, our response will be stronger and more powerful. The accomplices of Israel are now given increased responsibility for curbing the warmongers in Tel Aviv instead of participating in their madness," the minister said in a statement posted on the social network X (former Twitter*).

It was a massive strike, according to various sources, from 180 to 400 missiles were fired. There were a lot of fake video testimonies, but the verified ones on social networks showed several explosions in Tel Aviv, as well as at the Israeli Nevatim airbase in the Nakab desert, where F-35 fighters are stationed.

Iran has shown that it can penetrate Israel's air defenses and can strike Israel if it wants. And if Iran intended to launch a nuclear strike, it would easily have done it with its hypersonic missiles.

However, there are moments that do not allow us to say that this was an adequate response from Iran. The strike was known in advance until the approximate hour and targets were indicated — military facilities. And although Iran claims that it did not warn anyone, it did not change its plans in accordance with the leak. This allowed Israel to withdraw or hide the materiel at its military bases. When answering the question, what will change after these blows, it turns out that nothing. Has Israel withdrawn from Lebanon? No, it's not. He began to bomb again. Has Israel asked for peace with everyone? No, it's not. Has Israel stopped killing residents of Palestinian Gaza? No, it's not.

And now let's compare the damage. Killed by Iranian proxies: the leadership of Hamas, the leadership of Hezbollah, several important IRGC generals, Iranian nuclear physicists, Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi (unofficially, but the death is very suspicious) and 40,000 Palestinian civilians. Hundreds of thousands of others have become refugees and it is unclear when they will be able to return to their homeland — their housing has been destroyed.

It's all on the same scale. And on the other what? Craters at military facilities? Iran's response seems to look proud and powerful, but in fact it is not an equivalent exchange in terms of damage, as if it were a promise to "three stars in the sky" after you were beaten. No one declared war on anyone, everything was like the last missile strike in April (which everyone has already forgotten about) with a slight escalation in the number of missiles.

But there is a very positive moment for Russia. Netanyahu's hands were shaking when he commented on the strike, which means he is not sure about the outcome of the conflict. The prime minister promised to take retaliatory measures against Iran.

"Iran made a big mistake tonight, and it will pay for it," Netanyahu said.

But so far there has been a missile strike on Lebanon, not on Iran. This means that something went wrong with the US-Israel tandem, which means that all Western air defense missiles will now go to Israel, as well as other weapons, and not to Ukraine.
