It doesn't look like the conflict between Iran and Israel will escalate any further than it has done at the moment. After all, both sides are declaring victory.

Although it is difficult to believe,
Israel claims they shot down ‘most of the missiles' launched by Iran. But really?

A Brief Summary of Events Before the Iranian Direct Attack on Tel Aviv

Iran claims that Israel bombed it's consulate in Syria, declaring that under UN convention, that is a direct attack on Iranian soil. Therefore, Iran declared that they will retaliate, warning that the USA and it's allies within the region will become legitimate targets if they dared to interfere.

True to their words, on 14th April 2024, an attack was launched by the Iranian defense directly on Israel, striking targets inside Israel with hypersonic missiles.

• WHY IRAN WON THIS ROUND

The Ayatollah led government believes that the attack on Israel is proof of concept.

1. Israel has been on an offensive against Hamas in Gaza since October 13th, 2023.

For the first time in a while, Palestinians slept without a single sortie over Gaza.

2. Israel would have spent billions of dollars defending against cheap bombs and missiles. Thankfully, that cost has been shared with allies who knew that Iran had the capacity to overwhelm Israel's defense system with it's cheap drones.

While Israeli president Netanyahu claims they managed to shot down majority of the missiles and drones, he avoided the fact that Iran managed to get 7 Missiles or more through at hypersonic speeds from Iranian soil.

Iran claims it took 5 Nations, their Air Forces and Navy to stop and intercept these missiles, proving that Israel on its own was incapable of defending itself against an Iranian onslaught.

3. USA and Allies expose Defense Systems to Iran

I like to imagine that somewhere in the Iranian military, they would have wanted to know how exactly the United States and Allies will aid Israel in case of conflict.

And now, a few cheap drones and hypersonic missiles has given them an in. Hello Putin!!!

4. Iranians have gained tremendous face for the first time since Soleimani's death four years ago.

Celebrations were high in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon. Even Iranian parliament was seen jubilating over the success of the attack.

5. Israel Learns a Lesson

Which of the lessons surpasses the other, I may not know, but Israel did learn quite some lessons from the whole episode.

The Israeli government has been proving hard to talk to all this while, but the aid provided by USA and UK Air Force to intercept some of the missiles is a big lesson in partnership.

Again, Israel has panicked and for the first time since their hard stance on war, Tel Aviv is calm and looking to finally listen and cave in to Uncle Sam earlier posturings to wrap it up.
