The Israel Channel 11 television broadcasted footage of the attacks on the cities of Bat Yam and Rehovot by Iranian missiles.

In the meantime, the Iranian High Command issued a statement:

"Our old-model missiles have made their mark in Tel Aviv; tonight, Israel will experience the power of missiles equipped with the latest technology."

The images displayed looked like Gaza after an Israeli bombing.

A proud army is bound to fail. Perhaps Israel has not yet encountered a real opponent in the Middle East, viewing Iran as Hamas, Hezbollah, or the Houthi forces.

These are just Iran's younger brothers; Iran is the elder brother. When the elder brother steps into the fray, he must display his full strength and authority. Although its weapons may not be as advanced as Israel's, Iran remains a major power in the Middle East. The disparity between Israel and Iran in terms of scale is immense, which can be illustrated by the following data:

Land Area:

Iran: Approximately 1,640,000 square kilometers.

Israel: Approximately 25,000 square kilometers. Iran's land area is about 65 times that of Israel, providing vast strategic depth. Expanding territory is a dream longed for by Israel.

Population:

Iran: Approximately 90 million.

Israel: Approximately 10 million. Iran's population is about nine times that of Israel, giving it a significant advantage in human resources.

Military Strength:

Forces: Iran's active military personnel number 610,000, with reserve forces at 465,000; Israel's active military personnel number 169,500, with reserve forces at 350,000. This is more than triple Israel's size.

Resources:

Iran possesses abundant oil and gas resources, giving it an absolute advantage.

Although Iran lags behind Israel in economy, technology, and military, its advantages cannot be ignored. Iran's strengths are precisely Israel's weaknesses. In any two-way confrontation, neither side can achieve a complete victory; the only possible outcome is mutual destruction.
