True Promise

Shahed-136 Drones

Iran launched its retaliatory strike, “Operation True Promise,” on Israel today, nearly two weeks after the latter destroyed the Iranian consulate (next to the embassy) in Damascus, Syria and martyred several high-ranking military officials. News accounts from the Zionists and the “West” significantly differ from what has been disseminated from Iran. Notes regards the Iranian assessment to be the most accurate (PressTV version).

The retaliatory strike was quite measured. Iran deployed its slowest drones and missiles, although rumors are circulating that a few hypersonic missiles were thrown in for effect. Consequently, Iran then declared that the situation was concluded. No escalation is necessary. 

Effectively, Iran has “passed the baton” back to the Zionists. Quite clever, actually. Now, the Zionists must decide whether to launch a full-scale attack on Iran. If they do, Iran has promised to unleash an even harsher response. So, the world awaits.

Addendum: Sputnik News has provided insights on drones and missiles in the Iranian arsenal. Iran’s military capabilities are quite advanced.

Miscellany: The IRGC of Iran essentially mocked the “West” by naming the retaliatory strike, “Operation True Promise.” Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa!
