Ben Gurion airport has resumed normal operations.

There will be no Israeli response.

🎙 Israel believed that it could launch a strike against Iran and suffer no consequence - that is no longer the case.

This is deterrence. This means that in the future, if either Israel or the United States plan on carrying out an action against Iran, they have to weigh in the consequences of their actions knowing that Iran has the capacity to reach out and touch any place, any spot, any target in the region in Israel or out of Israel, and there's nothing anybody could do to stop that. This is why president Biden has been on the phone with Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, telling him, 'Do not retaliate'.

Operation 'True Promise' was an extraordinarily successful operation, not only for Iran, but indeed for the world, because Iranian deterrence now is a reality that can hold Israel and the United States in check.

✅I spent one decade protecting Israel from Iraqi missiles.

✅I spent another decade trying to protect Israel from Iranian missiles.

All Israel had to do was try to live in peace and harmony with its neighbors.

Israel proved not to be up to the task.

Israel deserves everything it has coming to it.

⁣Israel is losing this conflict.

Iran’s strategic objectives are best met by locking Israel into a conflict with Hamas, peripherally supported by the axis of resistance, that Israel cannot win.

Allowing this conflict to escalate into a war between Israel and Iran changes the algorithm, and threatens to drown out the Palestinian cause with issues of global energy security, as well as disrupt Iran’s own strategic pivot to BRICS.

Israel is losing this conflict.

Iran wants to make sure this outcome does not change.

⁣📰 The Missiles of April

I’ve been writing about Iran for more than two decades. In 2005, I made a trip to Iran to ascertain the “ground truth” about that nation, a truth which I then incorporated into a book, Target Iran, laying out the US-Israeli collaboration to craft a justification for a military attack on Iran designed to bring down its theocratic government.

⁣📰 Iran's Retaliatory Attack 'Reestablished Deterrence' to Hold Israel, US in Check

Iran’s mission to the United Nations stated earlier that Tehran’s retaliatory drone and missile attack against Israel had “concluded.”

The “military action” was a response to Israel’s “aggression against our diplomatic premises in Damascus,” it said, adding that the strike “hit designated targets.”

⁣The U.S. has an advanced AN/TPY-2 X-band radar stationed at Har Qeren, in the Negev desert.

Its mission is to detect Iranian missile launches, and pass targeting data to Israeli Arrow and David’s Sling and U.S. THAAD ABM batteries deployed to protect sensitive Israeli sites, including Dimona and the Nevatim and Ramon air bases.

Iranian missiles struck both Nevatim and Ramon air bases.

The best surveillance radar in the world, working in concert with the most sophisticated anti-missile defenses in the world, were impotent in the face of the Iranian attack.

✅For all those trying to spin yesterday’s events as an Israeli victory, chew on that fact:

The best missile defense system in the world could not protect the sites they were tasked with protecting from attacks by Iranian missiles.

Who has deterrence supremacy?

It ain’t Israel.

⁣Square this: the IDF openly says several (i.e., more than one) Iranian missiles hit Nevatim.

You cite a pro-Israel (i.e., bias) “OSINT”
X post using extremely low resolution overhead to gloat about your assessment of the efficacy of the Iranian attack.

You make claims about the destruction of Nevatim that the Iranians never made. They simply say that 5-7 missiles hit the base, something Israel admits.

✅You ignore the fact that Iran was not seeking a knockout blow, but rather a demonstration of capability.

✅You also ignore the fact that Nevatim was defended by the world’s most advanced integrated anti-missile defense shield which incorporated Arrow 2, David’s Sling, THAAD, and Patriot 3 with the AN/TPY-2 X-band surveillance and targeting radar.

✅You also ignore the fact that this system was designed to exclusively defend against the Iranian medium-range ballistic missile threat.

And yet…5-7 missiles hit Nevatim. The Israelis have acknowledged 2 runways and three warehouse structures hit.

Not a knockout blow—it wasn’t intended as such.

But any BDA expert would note that the point of impact was center mass, a clear indication of precision guidance.

5-7 missiles hit the world’s most heavily defended location, defeating an integrated ABM defense that was custom built to defeat the missiles it failed to shoot down.

The point of this exercise is to note that if Iran had send 30 missiles at Nevatim, the base would be inoperable.

Israel knows this.

So does the U.S. Army.

Which is why Iran has achieved strategic deterrence over Israel.

Which was the whole point of the operation.

🎙 Following Iran’s retaliatory strike on Israel, Ukrainian politicians once again issued demands for the West to send them more air defense systems. Keep dreaming.

Let me make this very clear to the Ukrainian crowd: We don't want you to win. We don't care about you. We give you just enough to keep you going, and then we stand by and watch you bury your dead. You don't matter to us. You're not Israel.

⁣You work for the Rondeli Foundation.

You are literally funded by the US/EU/NATO to further a soft-power strategy designed to remove those espousing traditional Georgian values from power.

You are being used to open a second front against Russia.

And you are willing to take Georgia down a road toward ruin to achieve your objectives.

You and your ilk are the kind of traitors the FARA law is designed to expose.

It would almost be better for you if you were still an employee of the Rondeli Foundation.

Instead, you are a member of the Droa Party, whose leader, Elene Khoshtaria, admits is funded by the European Endowment for Democracy using a fake NGO as cover.

Your party is literally foreign-funded.

You are a literal front for foreign interference in the sovereign affairs of Georgia. You take your orders from Brussels, not the Georgian people.

In short, you are a traitor to Georgia.

Which is why you fear the new FARA law.

Every American and European citizen should reflect on the following:

✅Iran has terminated its lawful retaliatory strike on Israel.

✅The global economy is stable.

If Israel launches an unprovoked attack on Israel, Iran’s retaliation will upend the global economy.

Blame Israel.
