Have there been any reports of damage in Iran

[sarisataka]

I can only find references to three drones the Iranians have claimed to have shot down. No indication if that was the entirety of the attack or if there were additional drones or missiles.

1. At least

it was reported that Iran won’t retaliate. Wish Israel had as much sense since they’re STILL retaliating in Gaza.

3. My compliments to Iran if they do allow this exchange to end here

Israel does seem to have a better grasp of limited response, however IMO no response would have been even more expressive.

4. Is it simply retaliation?

I've been under the impression that the IDF is trying to end Hamas' capacity to attack Israel. Destroy the tunnel infrastructure, kill fighters and commanders, and recover hostages if possible.

9. I think it is. ABC news had an analyst, "It's the middle east and Iran expects retaliation"

Apparently if Israel didn't retaliate it would have been seen as a "sign of weakness". Something like that.
I don't share the same viewpoint. I don't think they should have, but I don't live there, so there's that. The majority of Israel's population did not support a retaliation.

Israel would need to engage in a prolonged war to damage Iran's infrastructure.
Sanctions are still the best option to cripple Iran at this time.
Cyberattacks, espionage and follow the money are also other options.


Iran needs a regime change that needs to come from within. They have got to be sick of it. I would.

5. I saw a picture of a crater at an airport.

6. Bit of a stretch to call that a crater

There are bigger potholes in front of my house

Also it doesn't really look like it was caused by a blast

7. They had an even smaller on at the air base in Israel and they called it a crater.

So, I'm just going by what they called it in Israel.

8. I didn't see that

However if it was smaller I would be equally critical
