Israel and spiritual 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Spiritual? What do you mean by that?
Sometimes people confuse the spirit for the demon
"You let other Arab countries know" Iranians are not Arab 😅 Jews and Arabs are ethnically related not Iranians
And they are not even "Persians"...that was the frigging ancient Greeks who didn't know squat about the people's too. For the West, Iran is the final boss in the middle east. They copy and pasted (plundered) all the artifacts of civilization, knowledge, and technology for a millennia from that region, and tried to bury the evidence by way of mass murder (genocides), and ethnic cleansing in the last two to three centuries but they still haven't been able to knock out the OG country of the world. They are still trying. You can take a Saxon out of Paganism, but you cannot take Paganism out of a genetic barbarian.
true
Persians originally but after the modern world they are also Arabs 😊
Yup the real jews... Not these europeans though

@@noobieg4m3r No, it was just a joke lol. At the end of the day, Israel did attack close to Iran nuclear facility and at their air force base. Which is pretty insane to consider how restricted those places, specialy during a major times of military conflicts.

But it is good that you pointed out his insecurity.
iranian attacks with 300 missiles and 3 hit their target. israel attacks with 3 missiles and 3 hit their target.

History repeats itself when the children of Israel came out of captivity in Egypt they owed the promised land by having a war with the Palestinian,God helped them but they ended up rejecting christ.now Israel is facing this tragic because of ignorance God will intervaine in this war to grab the holly land and give it to the right people who deserves it.this perilous will not end in the land of Israel until Israel amends from her idolatry and turn back to Christ her leader.

@@Nxh48383 are u this dum? why would any drones be able to invade your airspace if it does not cause any harm? Did not US shot down Chinese spy ballon? It did not cause any harm but why the US took it down? Now u got ur answer
Let me explain since your quran says muslima has half a brain. Iran = 110 missiles = no threat Israel = 4 missiles = no threat 110 (Iran) = 4 (Israel) = no threat Means if Israel were to send 110 missiles back to Iran then there would be no Iran to talk about.
😂😂🤣🤣
This guy must have went to school in America. He sounds like a good authoritarian liberal
How’s the base though?? All the lies all the time, man it gets tiring… and it wasn’t the embassy..,
..it’s like Mr Bean in the ring with Tyson..
You know it is serious because the Iranians said It was a child's toy.
What are you on crack!
Sorry you mistaken friend... Actually, it will take very deep wisdom for You and Iran combined to decode that the message being sent to Iran was a threat in itself. And how dumb Iran is is after having such a large army backed up by another large army still had no intellect to get it. If 110 Iranian missiles was no threat to Israel, And Israel replies with 4 knowing its no threat and actually controlled Iran into publicly saying "huh 4? That was no threat" is telling you Israel is comparing strength for strength, in other words, comparing the ineffectiveness of Iran's 110 missiles to its 4 ineffective missiles. You just got wiser... you welcome
@@Nxh48383id be temted to disagree. I wouldnt say its dumb on Iran's part. It could be argued Iran played down the scenario to antagonise Israel and be said they didnt take the bait as they have claimed to look to respond against Israels alies if they are attacked and this megre attack from Israel is not enough to justify or get backing from the UN a response against one of Israels allies. Now if Israel are led to believe Iran are not threatened they may attack on a larger scale putting the rest of the world at risk.
@@idontusetwitterI think you're completely off in your thinking. Just my opinion.
@@Nxh48383no hate but didnt the uk us jorden help with intercepting missles
The purpose was not to attack but to send the message that Irans air defense is in fact penetrable.
So is Israel with day warnings, other top countries helping and have billions dollars defensive dome, Iran still hit with cheap missiles
Iran got their azz kicked.
Nice going NBC..The minister and the interpreter are talking over each other, captions can't even figure out whats being said, jerbalism at its best.
There was an exclusive report from ccn that they have obtained satellite photos from the air base they supposedly hit and there is no damage whatsoever

This issue is done- over. Got it?
And people were clowning Iran's attack. This one was shamefull.
Iran could not confirm the position in which its attacks were going to be because most of them did not even reach the most protected places in Israel. However, Israel and others were able to demonstrate and report that Iranian nuclear facilities were under attack, concluding the high sense of capability Israel has over Iran.
Not really. They hit a base next to a nuclear facility. They let Iran know they can target them anywhere. Iran won’t be wanting to risk it.
@@EricT3769 proof?
@@wartimekillers Two Iranian officials said the strike on Friday had damaged an S-300 antiaircraft system at a military base in the nearby province of Isfahan. The officials’ account is supported by satellite imagery analyzed by The New York Times, which showed damage to the radar of an S-300 system at the Eighth Shekari Air Base in Isfahan. Israel bypassed Iran’s defense systems undetected. They only used a fraction of the firepower Iran used, and they made a crystal clear point. According to Aljazeera, Syria’s state-run SANA news agency said that at approximately 2:55am (23:25 GMT) on Friday, the “Israeli enemy launched an aggression with missiles”. Israel targeted Syria’s “air defense sites in the southern region. The aggression led to material losses”, SANA reported. This area of Syria is close to the Isfahan province. There wasn’t major damage. Israel was proving a point that it could hit targets inside Iran. You want more proof, look for it yourself.
@@EricT3769 which I should trust, CNN show there's no damage whatsoever on satellite imagery

What a bunch of puffy chested banter! This guy isnt going to admit that Israel sent anything😂
3 misses in response to 300 is not Israel's style. It shows Israel is scared of an escalation.
@@Deno2100cheap drones he said😂😂
They send nothing. If you understand this conflict you should know the US and Israel have terrorist groups the control in that region. This groups have small drones they can send to Iran. Some of us already knew Israel will not dare attacking Iran directly for fear of reprisal and will resort to cover operations they’ve doing in the past.
Yeah because it was small drones that wouldn't be able to fly from Israel to iran , like u didn't see israelis say they downed 99% of 300 iranian missiles and drones
@@Deno2100 Israel uses airforce this time, not drones
Biden's comment is naming a new icecream of the month... "Rocky Road"
The Israeli strike overnight Thursday-Friday on Iranian air defenses near the Natanz nuclear site used a high-tech missile that was able to evade Iran’s radar systems, in a move “calibrated to make Iran think twice” before launching another direct attack on Israel. The missile showed Tehran that Israel is able to dodge and neutralize its defences. Two Iranian officials said the strike hit a Russian-made S-300 air defense system. They told the newspaper that Iran had not detected intrusions into its airspace from drones, missiles or aircraft.
Israel, when you are afraid to attack, you send three quadcopters, then you tell the media to increase it. 🤣 You should be afraid, in the recent attack of Iran, 7 countries made 7 layers of defense system, But the missiles hit
LOL
They don't have to tell the media, zioni$t lunatics already own our corrupt media just as much as they own our corrupt politicians!
What???
Only if people would think…
haha you are delusion
This guy is rattled by Israel sending missile very close to their nuclear facility.

Ya u mean izrl mentally sent missiles to iran 😂
Actually he seemed much more relaxed than on Monday!
Iran trying to play stupid games ~ let’s keep going.
Telling your enemy in a war where and when you are going to attack is stupid, unless it is a decoy. Reference: Hiroshima, The Japanese were warned. Japan did not surrender because of the atomic bombs, they surrendered because of the surprize Russian attacks in Manchuria.

The Israelis are the most advanced and well trained military operation in the world simply to survive as a nation. Their technologies are US based, their security systems embedded across the planet and the idea that Iran can go toe to toe with them is ridiculous.
