As regional tensions run high, Iran has paraded drones, missiles and soldiers to show it is ready for a response from Israel after launching an unprecedented attack on its archenemy.
Iran carried out its first-ever direct attack on Israel at the weekend in response to an April 1 air strike on the consular building of Iran’s embassy in Syria. ⠀
Wednesday’s parade saw the Iranian armed forces showcase a range of military equipment, including drones and long-range ballistic missiles.
A mong them were multiple versions of the Ababil, Arash and Mohajer drones as well as the Dezful medium-range ballistic missile and S-300 air defence missile system.
Raisi reiterated warnings against “the slightest act of aggression” by Israel, saying it would lead to “a fierce and severe response”.
Israel has said it will respond to the weekend attack with military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari saying Iran will not get off “scot-free”.
The Israeli army said most of the projectiles fired by Iran were shot down with the help of the United States and other allies and the attack caused only minimal damage.
Iran hailed the attack as “successful” and said it “achieved all its objectives”, including inflicting damage to an airbase and intelligence centre that it said was used by Israel to carry out the strike in Damascus. ⠀
In his speech, Raisi also hit out at countries that had “sought to normalise relations” with Israel.
“These countries are now humiliated in front of their own people, which constitutes a strategic failure for the regime” of Israel, he said.
But the test showed them to be a failure? Half the missiles failed on launch and the drones are easily shot down because they’re so slow.
So they got really good data that says their weapons exports kinda suck. If you want to call that a success, go ahead.
“half the missiles failed on launch” not even the western propaganda is saying this, where do you get your news? Fucking IDF HQ?
I found an interesting article that went into detail on what specifically happened. Your tone indicates that you aren’t going to accept information that contradicts you preconceived ideas. This is for others who may be reading these comments.

It is a success in the sense they now know they didn’t pass the field test, something they didn’t know prior.
also in the sense they did damage israeli military targets, and cost them a lot of money to defend themselves
Or it was a ruse!
