      I don’t understand how people can be so ignorant. It’s not just about Iran’s losses, if the other side is degraded just as much, that’s a victory for Iran. Israel’s iron dome was degraded enough that at the end they only had 65% effectiveness. This allowed Iranian missiles to strike hospitals, their cheap drones were able to penetrate. In fact, it was Iran who launched the last volley to which Israel initially said they would retaliate but then backed off. Israel isn’t even reporting casualty rates anymore because the numbers are too high. Do you really think those strikes happened because Iran was using expensive hypersonic missiles that they were never known to have had?

      Everyone knows on paper Iran’s military is older and weaker. And still they fought their way into a ceasefire in which they got to have the last volley.

        Just as Israel was flying jets over Iran, Iran was flying missiles over Israel. The 2 militaries use different types of weapons to attack. The skies over both places were rather unfriendly.

        I don’t know if that is what forced this particular ceasefire today. Didn’t uncle Donnie yell at Bibi to halt an attack that was already in flight? I don’t know how long Israel could continue this and how long Iran could their response. Technically Israel has the US economy producing weapons for its strikes whereas Iran, AFAIK can only count on themselves at the moment.

          I don’t know what caused the ceasefire, I’m only saying they were able to and got the last volley in. Which made Israel vow revenge, but Israel still stopped. Who won? I don’t know. But I am saying Iran didn’t lose, which for such a weak military is a victory in and of itself.
