Iran have attacked Israel with 300 drones and missiles.
Iranian missiles are high tech cruise missiles not those hammered together in sheds by Hamas...There drones are also high tech but... Israel even under such a huge barrage managed to take down 99% of these weapons resulting in one injured and slight damage to a military base. The whole of the middle east will at the moment be becoming very unstable. Very dangerous situation.
The USA and the UK have declared their support for the IDF as expected.
This is unprecedented.
What will the Israeli response be?
What will be the response from Israel Turkey Lebanon Jordon China Russia?
The Houthis are attacking too.
This is a very dangerous escalation.

I think we know from past experience that your predictions always turn out to be rubbish.

Got anything intelligent to contribute to the debate?

It is dangerous. And it's been a long time coming. I dread to think what might happen if this really escalates.
Iran's attack was its promised retaliation for an April 1 strike by Israel on an Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria, which killed seven officers from its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. If they can precipitate what could be potentially WW3 over something like this, one can only imagine what will happen if it kicks off big time.
Iran has stated the matter is now “concluded” (of course, they could be lying).
Joe Biden has told Bibi to ”take the win”, because the US won’t support any retaliatory attacks on Iran. Good advice, in case Bibi feels the urge to be trigger happy again.

Is there actually any point to being you?

I wonder what's going on in the background right now that might burst out onto the lives of millions. The military discussions on options right now must be very heated. Israel have shown time and again you can't attack it with impunity. This is the first time Iran has attacked Israel head on and they were obviously well aware... of the dangers of a massive retaliation.
This is a massive escalation in middle east tensions but the bit I can't get my head around is the fact that Iran as good as warned Israel and the world it was about to launch this attack giving the Israelis good time to prepare their defences.
World tensions are ratcheting up.

As long as this doesn't go nuclear, those pesky Hebrews have the means to repel any attacks and grab a little extra land as a warning . They have done it in several wars in the past, against more adversaries than just Iran..
WWIII would require the full participation of the US, Russia or China. That's a possibility but not a likely one in the middle east.
I'm far more concerned what happens when China takes Taiwan. That will likely result in a direct conflict between American and Chinese militaries.
America being 35 trillion in debt and being preoccupied with Ukraine and Israeli "hot spots" may prod China to act sooner.
"Jordan’s air force intercepted and shot down dozens of Iranian drones that violated its airspace and were heading to Israel, two regional security sources told the Reuters news agency."
^^^^^^
It appears that Jordan, while not siding with Israel, is tired of the Hamas, Hezbollah, Iranian triumvirate of stupidity.
Imagine how many plans and possibilities have been aired in Israel over many years regarding what action to take should Iran ever openly attack them.
I'd imagine not one of the plans is to do nothing.

You're very naïve at times Maddog.
The amount of Islamic trouble entering Russia via Iran would be very destabilising for them.
Imagine Israel carries out a magnetic attack on Iran... millions will start fleeing in Russia's direction.
Do you think the iron curtain came down without the west being behind the destabilizing of Russia over many years?
Do you think the Anglo American world don't want to see Russia destabilised along it borders?

They won't flee to Russia anymore than you would if Wales got bombed to hell and back. Turkey and Afghanistan sure.

They'll flee in the easiest direction possible and for millions that will be Russia.
Turkey would go to war to stop Iranians crossing into their country in other words start shooting them and who the fuck would want to flee from a modern nation to fucking Afghanistan!
