Operation “True Promise” exposed Israel’s incompetence.
According to Arabic website 21, “David Hurst”, a prominent English writer, in an analysis of Iran’s historical punitive operation against the Zionist regime, pointed out that Iran’s missile attacks exposed Israel’s weakness and showed that this regime is not able to protect itself alone. And we saw that America, Jordan, etc. came to Israel’s aid to intercept Iranian missiles.
Hirst stressed that today Israel no longer has freedom of action in choosing how to respond to these attacks, especially in the shadow of the predicament it is caught in in Gaza and the failure of the resistance, which is increasing every day. The recent Iranian attack showed that Israel needs others to protect itself and is not free to choose the type of response to these attacks. After more than 6 months, it is clear that the war in Gaza is not going well. Today, the Israeli ground forces are facing the stubborn resistance of the Palestinians, who, despite the massive destruction in Gaza and the intense suffering of the people, show no signs of surrender or defeat.
In the continuation of this article, it is stated that the morale of Hamas forces has become stronger than before and they have been able to escape from the worst conditions and also have nothing to lose. In addition, the people of Gaza support Hamas and say that Israel’s occupation of Rafah does not make any difference to them. Gazans scoff at reports from the Israeli army about Hamas’s strength in terms of battalions and brigades.
According to this English writer, at the same time as the defeat of the Israeli war in Gaza, the demands for the removal of Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of this regime, have increased, and he is under a lot of pressure to reach a prisoner exchange agreement with Hamas, and his differences with his first supporter, Joe Biden, the President of the United States, has gone public. There is also a lot of pressure from the public opinion of the world against Netanyahu, and Israel has become a perverted entity under his rule.
He continued: Today, Israel once again needs to play the role of the victim to maintain the lie that it is fighting to defend its existence. Netanyahu made a big gamble by attacking the Iranian consulate in Damascus, and America knew about his intentions and knew that his goal was to lead America to war with Iran. For this reason, the US sent a message directly to the Iranians that it was not involved in the Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria and that it was informed of the attack after the flight of Israeli fighter jets.
David Hurst added: After this Israeli attack, Iran waited to see what the UN Security Council would do, but the United States, along with England and France, used their veto rights against the statement that Russia had presented to condemn the Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate. After that, Iran announced that it would not take action against Israel if Israel’s aggression in Gaza ended, but this matter was also ignored. Then one after the other western countries asked Iran not to attack Israel. As for Biden, he gave only one advice to the Iranians: “Don’t do it.”
According to the memo, when the Iranian attack began, it became clear that it was carefully designed to send many messages to the United States, Israel, and the Arab region. Tehran wanted to create a model that could directly hit Israel; Without sparking an all-out war. Iran wanted to tell Israel that it could attack it directly and also wanted to tell America that Iran is a power in the Persian Gulf region and the party that controls the Strait of Hormuz.
Hurst clarified: Each of the Iranian missiles that hit Israeli targets had a message with them. Before the attack, these messages were completed by seizing a ship owned by an Israeli billionaire near the Strait of Hormuz by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. After that, a lot of Iranian drones were sent to Israel, and according to the Israeli media, more than one billion dollars were spent on using defense systems to counter Iran’s attack.
This English writer continued his article and wrote that in the meantime, at least four countries publicly helped Israel to counter Iran’s attack, namely America, England, France and Jordan, and this was a huge air defense effort. On the other hand, Iran used 170 cheap drones to attack Israel, while Israel spent a lot of money to intercept Iranian missiles and drones.
According to David Hirst, another point is that the message reached Israel that Iran can directly target Israel from a distance without using Hezbollah Ansarullah or its allies in Iraq. The weapons used by Iran in this attack were a small example of the country’s firepower. Therefore, after this attack, Iran took the initiative and warned America that if Israel took another action, Iran’s response would be tougher.
According to this article, Iran’s message to the United States was also very strong in this operation, with the content that Iran is capable of targeting Israel with ballistic missiles regardless of the West, and also gave a warning to Biden that Iran can be an ally of the United States. target in the Persian Gulf region. Iran is not looking for war, but it has the power to respond to any aggression. Therefore, Iran’s important message to America was that this country should restrain its rebellious offspring (Israel).
