Apparently, Iran has sent a stream of long-range drones to attack Israel, but they've all been shot down, either by the US or Israel. Iran stated that "this concludes our reprisals"... Face-saving, it would appear...

Iran has launched hundreds of drones and missiles towards Israel in an attack that may trigger a major escalation between the regional archenemies.
Sirens wailed and journalists in Israel said they heard distant heavy thuds and bangs from what local media called aerial interceptions of explosive drones.
Israel's military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said Iran launched dozens of ground-to-ground missiles at Israel, most of which were intercepted outside Israeli borders.
They included more than 10 cruise missiles, he said.
The Iranian salvo amounted to more than 200 drones and missiles so far, Mr Hagari said, and had caused light damage to one Israeli military facility.
He said the engagement had not ended, and Israeli forces were still intercepting incoming threats.
Iran had vowed retaliation for what it called an Israeli strike on its Damascus consulate on April 1 that killed seven military officers including two senior commanders and said its strike was a punishment for "Israeli crimes".
"Should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran's response will be considerably more severe," the Iranian mission to the United Nations said.
In a statement carried late Saturday by Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency, the country’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard acknowledged launching "dozens of drones and missiles towards the occupied territories and positions of the Zionist regime".
Iran's Revolutionary Guard issued a direct warning to the US in a later statement: “The terrorist US government is warned any support or participation in harming Iran’s interests will be followed by decisive and regretting response by Iran’s armed forces."

And now, we wait to see whether Israel will launch a direct attack on Iran, rather than just its proxies in Syria and Lebanon.

The drones were facing a very effective double act of US and Israeli defences, as well as having to travel a long way. In other scenarios, many more would have got though, as happens to both Ukraine and Russia...

Persians. Great defenders on home turf. Not so great at away matches. Nothing changes.

We will see fairly soon how good they are at defending their home turf...

^ Israel ignoring the fact that bombing an embassy or consulate is against international law, not to mention that as a military action it unavoidably places the Israeli public in greater peril.

Yes, the same BBC that employed a journalist who tweeted that "Hitler was right".

Biden bad, gave money! Gave money to Jews and Muslims!
Last month, Fox News Digital reported that Biden defied opponents of Iran’s regime and waived sanctions on Iran’s cash-starved economy. Biden faced criticism after releasing as much as $10 billion into the coffers of the Islamic Republic. In January, an Iranian regime-sponsored proxy terrorist attack killed three U.S. soldiers in Jordan.
