It's no wonder that Iran is looked down upon! Israel has already caused significant losses to Iran, and Iran has also made bold statements indicating a desire for an eye for an eye. But what happened? Iran only launched over 100 drones to retaliate against Israel. Isn't Iran known for having hypersonic missiles? Why aren't they being used now? Are they waiting for the New Year? The Israeli Defense Forces stated that in the past few hours, Iran has fired more than 100 drones at Israel.
However, the problem is that drones launched from Iran take several hours to reach Israel. These drones are so slow, and it's still the same old retaliatory tactic as before. Such an attack level is nothing but a piece of cake for Israel. In short, Iran hasn't fully mustered up the courage yet. Additionally, there are reports that negotiations between Iran and the United States are proceeding as usual.
No wonder some people suspect that Israel and Iran are putting on a double act. Iran was originally willing to compromise with the U.S. to abandon its nuclear program, but perhaps it's hard to explain this to the domestic audience, so this is using Israel's hand to help Iran go nuclear-free. Otherwise, it's hard to believe that Israel's current attacks were spot-on, wiping out Iran's main generals and nuclear physicists in one fell swoop.
From the look of Iran's counterattack, it seems that Iran has no intention of dealing a fatal blow to Israel. Perhaps, some people within Iran's domestic circle are taking advantage of the situation. After all, destroying nuclear facilities and eliminating hardliners in the military makes it much easier for Iran to negotiate with the U.S. In the eyes of the U.S., Iran still has value. After Syria leaned towards the U.S., if Iran also leans towards the U.S., then the U.S. would have full control over the Middle East. This would allow the U.S. to focus more on activities in the Asia-Pacific region.
