This is so dumb by Iran. I can’t comprehend it. Maybe I just don’t know something? What’s the calculus here? Rage out only to get stomped on? Or do they think they’re strong enough?
Iran is showing the entire Muslim world that a real Muslim regional power (not hezz or yemen) has the balls to stand up to israel/America.
They knew that sunni dictators would side with israel and allow their airspace to be encroached upon.
They are showing the world that shias are in control and the Israeli retaliation is worth it. I would imagine that the average sunni citizen is starting to ask questions about their leaders. Saudi Arabia has forever forfeited control over the Middle East.
We also get to see just how powerful their missle arsenal truly is, because they've been hyping it up for years now; maybe they weren't bluffing, they might also have been given a nuke or two from Pakistan before this kicked off (pure speculation on my part)
