Israel Strikes Iran targets in Syria after rocket barrage, Iran vows retaliation

How can it be "retaliation" if THEY struck first?

As for your question....they probably thought the missiles would work...I mean, why else launch them.  Unless Persians are as dumb as Gazans.....that would be amazing, but I'm not buying it.  So they thought the missiles would work and this would be a good way to show Trump/the West/the US/Israel/whomever that Iranians mean business.  Of course their sh**t failed and Israel's sh**t didn't, now they must "retaliate" to save face.  They can't be dumb enough to try something else militarily, could they?


So they'll do the only thing the Iranian govt is good at, they'll blow something up where a lot of civilian Jews are in some third country 2 years from now.  Ya know, like the cowards that they are.  And their allies in the west will drag their feet and say....you can't PROVE it was the Iranians, and then when you can prove it they'll say, well yeah, but it's not like they didn't provoke them, and on and on.

If they blow something up and have plausible deniability long enough for the story to cycle off the front page, then the EU won't do anything.  Especially if they wait a year or two before they do it.

TF's theory is interesting and would make some sense, but there is no proof of it.  Israel's neighbors shoot missiles at them all the time, including Iran's allies.  This isn't unusual.
