"Iran spent a year and a half training and improving its drones with Russia's help. The Ukrainian side warned about this countless times. Dozens, hundreds.

By killing Ukrainian citizens, Iran perfected a relatively inexpensive technology, which now allows it to attack Israel directly, without proxies.

Did the Israeli leadership not understand this? They understood perfectly well. And?

In recent months, the organizers of the Olympics and Euro-24 began to panic. But this has also been discussed many times.

The real solution is to truly block Russia and Iran from receiving components, block access to machinery and services, and cripple those who try to bypass sanctions. Without Western components and equipment, neither drones nor, especially, missiles will pose such a threat.

Not to mention providing Ukraine with weapons.

What now? Israel repelled the first attack with the help of the US and Jordan without much effort. But if Iran doesn't get any results, they'll be forced to continue. Otherwise, they'll lose face.

We don't know Iran's real capabilities. It's possible they'll bomb some shed, call it retaliation, and menacingly back off if they see the futility of their plan.

In any case, Iran is Russia's best friend and accomplice. The Israeli government has demonstrated extreme shortsightedness and continues to court Russia. But there are many people in Israel who have ties to Ukraine and support us. So, the sympathies are obvious."
