Ask the Americans to show us the satellite image of the two airbases; their location is never a secret. Even China, Russia should have such satellite images.
Regarding the data for hypersonics, I think you're forgetting that Iran is a space-capable nation. They have orbital capabilities already, so wouldn't have a problem collecting that kind of data. A hypersonic glide vehicle is a very different thing than a hypersonic cruise missile -- ballistic trajectories are unpowered and similar to an atmospheric reentry.
Iran produced glide in 2023
Israel is not just occupying Palestine. They also occupy US, UK, EU and Canadian governments.
And Germany
Absolutely not. Palestine is militarily occupied by Israel, the collective west just provides voluntary subservience to Israel.
Australia too. Cheers

Puzzling isn't it? A tiny country in the Mideast with a population of nine million dominates and completely controls a huge bloc of countries numbering five hundred million people. They really do "own" that bloc.
If it costs a million dollar missle to shoot down a 10K drone, and that happens hundreds of times when there is also a global shortage of those missles, that sounds like a significant blow to me
That's baloney! You have no information whatsoever about the number of drones Iran deployed last night or the methods Israel employed to intercept them. Try watching MSM if that's all the better you can do.
"If it costs a million dollar missle to shoot down a 10K drone". Talking strategy with the mind of an accountant complete with phony numbers. IN the reality & logic of war & armed conflict It doesn't matter what either the drone or the missile costs. What matters is that one side can claim a win. And that side is NOT IRAN.....
Never heard of anyone saying "we can't afford to go to war" or "We are now broke so we will have to stop and negotiate"
@@Sedona-cl6eg REALLY REMEMBER VIETNAM? NO MORE MONEY APPROPRIATED FOR NAM WAR ENDED!!!!!
Money is totally irrelevant. The American politicians have it printed to give to Israel to give to American politicians and the MIC(mostly owned by American politicians) for protection by American military.
Only 99% of the missiles were shot down? They should buy their missile interceptors from Ukraine. They were shooting down up to 140% of the incoming missiles.😅😅😅
That's actually funny.
An excellent observation. 😮
I think Israel and the US didn't know that 4 other nations would be attacking Israel. They shot short range missiles, and sent drone as a diversion to ensure that the ballistic missiles would hit their targets. If Israel does not stand down, it will eventually escalate to a nuclear war. Notice i said war and not conflict. When Israel attacked Iran's embassy, that was a declaration of war. So all of this western criticism of Iran is groundless.
Israel was not attacked by 4 other nations, it was attackeed by proxy's within other countries. Read up on history what Israel did in the past with nations attacking it at the same time. Yes, Israel annihilated them on the battlefield.

@@rockfella1377that was then. This now. Wake up and smell the sulphur. Even the US was ineffectual against the Houthis. Just as the IDF was ineffectual against Hamas. 😊
An Israeli general has said that defending against Iran's attack has cost Israel $1.3 billion worth of interceptor missiles, and that's without their allies costs and the cost of the damage caused by missiles that got through. "The attack cost Iran less than 10% of what it cost us to defend against it," he told Ynet.
Iran's GDP is actually less than Israel's ...And it hardly matters what it 'cost' if the war material was procured years ago and Israel has an "Uncle Sugar" to send more missiles or money as needed.
IDF acts like tough, but as soon as they are responded to, they run away hiding behind the Americans and Europeans. that's funny.
I agree 🤣🤣
And then acts like the victim typical Zionist APARTHIED behaviour
Indeed, they've shown their weakness in their genocide, holocaust in Gaza of the Palestinian people, civilians, children, babies, aid workers, UN workers etc, they wouldn't survive five minutes in a real military war.
A large number of drones and almost all the ballistic missiles were shot down by the IDF.
You misread the situation. Israel didn't run and hide from Iran. The US UK stepped in to temper Israel response. Similar to the Gulf War when US & UK worked to destroy Iraqi scuds in western desert being shot at Israe so as to prevent Israel attacks into Iraq and thus undermining "The Coalition"

And Iran gave Israel one week's advance notice of their proposed attack!
This is nonsense!
Precautions
Alexander made quote clear Israel did not say they struck the embassy. Did not in fact say anything about participating on the strike. France UK and US have all that NATO intelligence stuff. Planes boats. Spies and ships. None of them accused Israel. Syria, Iraq, Iran all participated in attacking israel. Any one of which could have raised the FALSE FLAG to do that. I did not see them do it. I simply know media spins lies. Haters of Israel. Pro whatever terrorists are acting up this week. Use you brain. Be original. Ask a question. Why would Israel destroy an embassy? How could they do do and not be seen? Which NATO country that allowed international court to judge Israel, would later hide evidence of their guilt? It makes no sense. Muslims want Jews dead. NATO likes war. Military Industry Complex likes money. WEF likes depopulation and population reduction. Any of those makes more sense and media would not run that story. You have a brain. You are capable of deciding what you might like to eat. You can think. So why believe the false propaganda?

Iran attacking Israel was a " response ". A response by Israel would be ANOTHER violation of International law as an act of war.
IRAN did announce sometime early last year that they had managed to develop herpersonic missile and they have been working for sometime with even North Korea . Iranians are known to be effective in computers . Alex stop doubting Iranian capabilities as the west does to Russians !
I doubt Iran would use their best technology in this attack, a wise man never shows his hand. I saw some of the missiles actually strike and they were certainly not hypersonic ones, they came in relatively slowly. The good stuff will only be used in an all out war.

Very true.most wars are won by attrition
I fear that’s why the U.S. doctrine advocates the right to preemptive attacks, which includes nuclear doctrine. The Iron Dome is not a permanent shield. Most likely in the case it fails, there will be direct strikes on Iran by the U.S.
True, Ukraine everyday destroys millions of dollars of Russian equipment with $3,000 drones.
Yeah, it seems there is no cost benefit analysis done in this one. ✅
@@user-xq8xo7cx2s if a drone was shot down right before it hit your house, would you care how much it would cost to shoot it down?
I was asked by Sputnik News to record a video. So here it is. My key take away, if you don’t have time to watch, is that today’s strike was a symbolic warning. Iran only used a minuscule portion of its capabilities. Iran’s UN Ambassador issued a statement that stated today’s action was in response to the attack two weeks ago in Damascus on Iran’s Embassy Annex. If Israel “takes its medicine” and does not respond then Iran plans no further action. However, If Israel decides to attack Iranian interests again, especially inside Iran, the IRGC is prepared to significantly increase the scale of the next attack. Here is the bottomline - Iran can fire an enormous number of drones, rockets and missiles that will overwhelm Israel’s air defense system. Today was just a warning. We’ll find out if Israel paid attention. - Sonar21
Indeed. The biggest takeaway is that Israel has lost deterrence against Iran. It’s either accepting that, or war. Other symbolic actions by Iran included the ability to coordinate a regional attack on Israel with allies and proxies, ability to shut down the strait of Hormuz, and the ability to overwhelm the dome, despite help to Israel.
Plus, Iran has hypersonic missiles to which Israel has no remedy.
Why do you have the same handle as me? I chose stlouisix3 (3 for the Holy Trinity).
The bottom line is Israel has nukes....
You too? Me too! See you in the video!

“99% of all missiles were shut down”. Wonder where we’ve heard those claims before?

But they are not showing the damages.
One is lobbing rockets and drones, one is firing hypersonic missiles. So what is it you are suggesting here?
100% of all missiles were shot down because there are non left still flying.

@@ralph95 we shall see. I even predicted that Iran would strike though not as hard as I thought it would.
US and Israel spent $1.3 Billion last night in defense. Iran used stockpiles from the 90s and early 2000s to attack Israel. Iran retaliated against targets in Israel directly related to the Israeli attack on the consulate on 4/1, and Iran was able to determine Israeli/Allies air defense vulnerabilities. Therefore, Operation True Promise’, lived up to their promise of definitive revenge against the 🇮🇱apartheid regime.
The constraint for the US and thus for Israel is not financial, monetary. It is real, biophysical, it has to do with production facilities, material inputs, and skilled and trained labor.
Operation true promise shows a Jane Austen style English knowledge compared with the USAs testosterone filled Hollywood names for military actions

Practically everything was short down, kid.
@@michaelkatz275 there were missles
@@vladtheimpala1 The Iranians warned the Israelis and the US, and practically instructed them on how to shoot the drones down. The whole purpose of this theatre was for Iran to demonstrate its wealth and capability, and moral highground by organizing the event so that nobody would really get hurt. Iran could certainly do damage if they wanted to, but they dont want to escalate and start a greater war. At the same time, they were not able to do nothing and look weak to all of their neighbors in the region. So they told US and Israelis exactly where and when the drones would be flying thru, so that they could shoot them down. The Iranians wanted to showcase their technology, and they also showed off a few ballistic missles, so that Israel and US stop treating them like a pushover. I think it was quite effective. Already Israelis are whining, and US is saying they definitely dont want to get involved. Exacerbating the cleavage between them, as the iranians desired.

Last year Iran joined the Shanghai Cooperative Organization which includes Russia, China & several other nations. This is a strategic alliance, as distinct from the trade & cultural alliance of BRICS of which it is also a member. No longer standing alone as USA & Israel randomly kill its scientists, military & cultural leaders, it has the ability to bargain with USA as it contemplates a measured retaliatory attack on Israel. Certainly, we now have a balance of military might between USA & allies & Iran & allies. We used to call it MAD.
It will exactly play out like this, guaranteed. Here’s a face saving scenario: Iran to US: “We will obliterate Israel” US to Iran (behind the scenes): Don’t do that - we will give you a cease-fire?” Iran: “Plus withdrawal from Gaza” US: “OK, but we get to tell our people you chickened out and we are just being magnanimous” Iran: “Whatever” US to the US: “We won, see we are the greatest (and we saved all those Palestinian lives)!!” Nicholas from Sonar21.
Thanks Alexander excellent report
Oh so love it when people keep underestimating Iranian technological advances. Even you Alexander.
Until 2012, the highest educational National rating was in Italy, more than 30% of young people had received a second higher education. Then in 2014, came the Iranian National ratings, separate for men & women. It was ci. 65-70% of those who received a higher education. Still I miss the Cuban National rating, it could present some surprises. By the way, it was not an overview [intl] stats - I was just reading their National press & calculated the rates myself.

Just a point to the costs of the weapons used. One has to remember that Iran did NOT buy it's missiles from abroad, particularly not from the most expensive source; the USA. It builds its own weapons, which means they are paid for with Iranian Rials, which the Iranian government can print as it wants...; this makes its ability to produce weapons equal to that of the US, or Russia or China. Almost all other countries in the world, including Israel and France / UK / NATOstan countries, have to BUY their weapons, predominantly from the US for US dollars! So you cannot really compare costs as directly as Alexander has done in this video. Of course, Israel gets a lot of its weapons for free from the US taxpayer, and even those that it actually buys are paid for with free cash from the US taxpayer (just like Ukraine), so it hasn't really spent a billion dollars either. But the US has.
this is true, american stuff is so overpriced - russia's budget is a tiny fraction but they get much much better value for money.. so it's not directly comparable
My dear Mother Marion Dixon is a huge fan of Alexander and she says hello 👋
Step on Lego
Alex, you were correct on this. +1000, much respect to you and your channel.
There is a saying in Chinese that loosely translate to: give them steps to climb down. This phrase generally means that doing something that lets the two side to the conflict de-escalate, ie: declare victory and 'climb down' the escalatory ladder. This is what the Iranian attack was, huge spectacle, but not substantive, hence letting Israel climb back down if they want, but also give them the option to keep escalating. If they keep escalating by kicking away the ladder down, then the war really begins.
Iran has natural and proportionate Rights to defend itself against settler regime supported by whole western colonists
Israel used significant number of its own patriot missiles (you fire 2 missiles on each target). USA did the same in bases in region. Jordan also. Considering already existing issue with patriot missiles as they were burned in Ukraine at extreme rate without means to replenish them in any reasonable time due to lack of production, USA was forced to tell Israel - if you retaliate we will soon have no air defense to spare and you will be wide open for attacks.
Israel's AD is more than just the Patriot System. Its a layer of different anti-missile systems: Drones can be shot down by Fighter aircraft. The Arrow: This system developed with the U.S. is designed to intercept long-range missiles, including the types of ballistic missiles Iran said it launched on Saturday. The Arrow, which operates outside the atmosphere, has been used in the current war to intercept long-range missiles launched by Houthi militants in Yemen. (cont. below) David’s Sling: Also developed with the U.S., the David’s Sling is meant to intercept medium-range missiles, such as those possessed by Hezbollah in Lebanon. Iron Dome: This system, developed by Israel with U.S. backing, specializes in shooting down short-range rockets. It has intercepted thousands of rockets since it was activated early last decade - including thousands of interceptions during the current war against Hamas and Hezbollah. Israel says it has a success rate of over 90%. Iron Beam: Israel is developing a new system to intercept incoming threats with laser technology. Israel has said this system will be a game changer because it is much cheaper to operate than existing systems. However, it is not yet operational.
@@JosephBisio Seriously? How ignorant you are? Missiles for all their systems are produced in USA. And at very low rate. They cant boost their production almost at all. If you have issue understanding basic stuff Just look at what Russia dud in Ukraine. Send massive number of drones that Will saturate defense and waste precious missiles on them . And Irane has insane stockpile of these. Once AD is down Israel wont stand a chance against way weaker foes like Hezbolah and Houtis. P.S. Do reality check as you are fed to much by MSM propaganda.
@@JosephBisioany military piece of junk developed by the USA Israel or other US vassal has always got to be given a silly comic book Hollywood movie name
@@JosephBisio You are pushing another msm fake propaganda here ignoring easy to check facts. First of all USA has missile production that Will barely replenish what was wasted in this event in 1 year. Second - stocks are low as Ukraone and previous hezbolah attacks used thousands of ad missiles. Third thing is that Iran said in advance what it Will use and what it Will target. And they hitted targets. They not even used best of what they have in stocks and still broke through combined AD of Israel USA Jordan UK and France. They used drones to swarm the sky and force AD to show radars and launchers before missiles came in. Of 7 missiles 2 were shot ot malfunctioned. 5 got through. If They wanted to hit for real Israel it would be out of nowhere and with much more force.
No country will reveal its main and secret weapons until the required time. It also applies to Iran
Iran set the presedent that Israel is not untachable.
Learn English!
@@pitkind4hardcoresoloand that's all you managed to type. Not nice to be so mean. Judgemental much, westerners will never learn that the English language is not that relevant except it's used widespread for communication. And i believe everyone understood what was implied. You may be a genius speller so keep your pride in your pocket and stop being others' English teacher. May get you some good people around in life if you learnt some humility.
You make no sense.
Just because it makes it in a history book. Certainly does not mean it's true. Lies of omission for example. Or just out and out fabrication.
Thank you Alexander, please take good care friend
Thank you Alexanderfor your consistent and sustained, day after day of excellent reporting, comments and thoughts.
CHINESE BANKS BLOCKING UKRAINIAN TRANSACTIONS! Too many bounced payments for electronic or military parts .
Can't conduct business with drug addicts
@@AntonioRomero-te4cb exactly!
Brilliant !!!
I read somewhere that Iran has the most peer reviewed PhD in world maybe per capita I don't remember. If this is true then I don't doubt their production of sophisticated weapons
They knew all the generals were going to be in Damascus, but didn't know Hamas was going to attack them. OK🙄
❤ first hello, thank you Alexander
Thank you for your great work, Alexander ❤
Clearly just a warning, The Israelis overstepped when they attacked the Irainian embassy. The Irainians are simply saying that there will be consequences if Israel keep doing those things. So, will Israel continue on their path of destruction? They might not, if they can't get the US on board. The Irainian drones are so slow that they can easily be shot down by missiles. It's a trade off cheap drones for expensive missiles. Not much effect from a short strike like this. But it would deplete the Israeli air defence if they kept going. The US might realize that they don't have the production capacity to support Israel with an air defence.
Isn't this what Alexander told us not that long ago, about Russia sending drones to Ukraine and forcing them to waste THEIR expensive missiles shooting down cheap drones......and how we could not continue to provide air defense missiles to Ukraine.. We're seeing the writing on the wall.
It’s not always that kind of damage , what kind of damage did this do probably scared some people shitless!
Alexander, remember the US Destroyer ships that got hit by freighters in the South China Sea a few years ago? The recent collision of the Francis Scott Key bridge on the US East Cost very well could have been another example of a cyber attack. I would put China as the number one source of these attacks and if China has been helping Iran with its ballistic missile programs, I would not be surprised that Iran has significant anti-ship capability. Also, anti-ship technology has been used to great effect against Russia in the Black Sea by Ukraine. Looks like the USA's investment in a powerful Navy has been significantly depreciated by recent advances in technology that is cheap and available on the global market. Technology can change the balance of forces silently behind the scenes and only make its presence felt and known suddenly when it is deployed successfully on an actual battlefield. We can go back to the fall of Constantinople in the 1450's where cannons made the difference as an example of how technology changes the outcomes on the battlefield.
"The recent collision of the Francis Scott Key bridge on the US East Cost very well could have been another example of a cyber attack." Not likely, the ship had some maintenance done in its engine room while it was in Baltimore port, probably an error occurred in that work during its layover and load/unload in that port. And the Captain of the ship was not Ukrainian. The crew was all Indian.
@@JosephBisio What do you know? That is a really ignorant statement given what is going on in the world. Talk about burying your head in the sand, keep talking that way if that is what you plan to do. Did you not pay any attention to the US Navy ships that were hit by freighters a few years ago that I mentioned? There is a pattern here.
You make it easy to understand difficult situations.
Superb coverage, analysis, and insight as ever. Thanks Alex
You mean you did watch it all last night on MSM?
@@michaelkatz275 thebutthurtzionazianimal

might have been cheaper for Israel to not to intercept 99% of Iranian drones and missiles.
... thinking that ..
No doubt
In the videos at least five or six actually have hit something so Israeli maths like USA other war proxy Ukraine won’t pass the math exam
I don’t believe that the US had a understanding with Iran. The Iranian government was obliged to give dates and approximate times of missile strikes to inform the U.S. or others prevent misunderstandings and civilian aircraft safety.
"prevent misunderstandings".... You mean like hitting a diplomatic facility??
Iranians did inform their neighboring countries not terroristamerikka directly
If Iran were to launch it while civilian air traffic is still present, it would be more impactful because the air defense systems would need to navigate around friendly air traffic to avoid the risk of unintentionally targeting commercial airlines, thus complicating their response.
"or others prevent misunderstandings and civilian aircraft safety." Oh like you mean like when the Iranians shot down a civilian Ukrainian airliner a few years ago near Tehran
@@JosephBisio my friend, you REALLY don't want to go down THAT path.... From Wikipedia: Iran Air Flight 655 was a scheduled passenger flight from Tehran to Dubai via Bandar Abbas that was shot down on 3 July 1988 by two SM-2MR surface-to-air missiles fired by USS Vincennes, a guided-missile cruiser of the United States Navy. The missiles hit the aircraft, an Airbus A300, while it was flying its usual route over Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf, shortly after the flight departed its stopover location, Bandar Abbas International Airport. All 290 people on board were killed
Thank you Alexander for taking the time to bring us your analysis of the latest turn of events. it’s very much appreciated.🙏 Good Day. 🇦🇺
