Israel hits back against Iran (bombs Isfahan, home to nuclear facilities)

[Sir Mohamed]

Israel is in tricky situation here. They can either respond and risk a further escalation, or not respond and may look weak (although I wouldn't argue they're weak, taking down 99% of drones is massive). I think going forward it might be best to wait a few weeks until tensions have eased and consider some retaliatory action below the use of force like cyber attacks etc.

From a strategic standpoint, Iran overall has lost. Before the attack, Israel was increasingly isolated among their Western partners for the handling of Gaza, now the entire West has again expressed solidarity with Israel. Furthermore, Iran's aggresive course put Arab players in the region in alarm. Iran is even more isolated in the Muslim world than it was before.

At least the damages were limited and just few were injured. Still wish there was nobody hurt, but it would have been much worse.
