I wanted to explain the recent airstrikes launched by Iran against Israel over the weekend and let you know who “won ” that exchange. And I want to share two opposing viewpoints with you. Both of them make a lot of sense, and in some ways, they could both be “right.” The most frequent analysis I’ve seen is that Israel shot down 98 to 99 percent of all Iranian missile launches and drone launches, and that it was a very terrible display for Iran in that regard. In other words, they shot their great shot and it bombed ( no pun intended ). Respect for Defense andamp; a big ole ‘ Israelise, congratulations. 324 of 331 missiles shot along
98 % defense success rate. • 185/185 Drones shot downward
• 103/110 Ballistics shot along
• 36/ 36 Cruise Missiles shot downHow will Israel respond? pic. twitter. com/ZsMGE2JEDX— Grant Cardone ( @GrantCardone ) April 14, 2024Israel claims “99 % were shot down”. pic. twitter. com/gUPjuxb15Y— Syrian Girl ( @Partisangirl ) April 15, 2024Here is MeetKevin who I think does excellent analysis breaking down that opinion and saying Iran really looks bad right now :And by all accounts that is true. Israel had an extraordinary showing. But is the story more complicated beneath the surface? We turn to the Health Ranger, my close friend Mike Adams, at this point. Mike had a slightly different opinion, saying that this was n’t really that bad for Israel at all. In fact, this first attack was n’t really meant to blow up Israel; rather, it was meant to weaken the Iron Dome’s defenses and make Israel pay a huge price. A very interesting and compelling take: Just as they planned,# Iran used mostly cheap, low-cost drones and missiles to force# Israel to spend over$ 1 billion, launching volleys of multi-million dollar anti-air defense munitions to shoot down the incoming drones. This first wave was designed to help deplete Israel’s … — HealthRanger ( @ HealthRanger ) April 14, 2024Full text of that Tweet :Just as they planned,# Iran used mostly cheap, low-cost drones and missiles to force# Israel to spend over$ 1 billion, launching volleys of multi-million dollar anti-air defense munitions to shoot down the incoming drones. This second wave was intended to help Israel’s supply of ammunition, stressing the U.S. supply chain. S. -supplies munitions. Iran can rapidly produce thousands of low-cost drones, but Israel cannot easily replace these wildly expensive “Iron Dome” or “David’s Sling ” munitions, some of which cost millions each. Therefore, Israel loses out on this exchange. Israel is NOT in the right to defend its claim that it shot down “99 %” of incoming drones and missiles. It’s a win for Iran. BTW, Israel also can’t do math because it admits 7 hypersonic missiles got through, so that means Israel did n’t shoot down 99 % after all. See my complete analysis from last night: https ://naturalnews. com/2024-04-14-iran-strikes-israel-region-plunges-escalation-cycle-nuclear-war. Then U.S. S. Related to Douglas Macgregor, a withdrew combat veteran from the Army, holds the position that Israel’s air and missile defenses are not airtight. Severe damage was done to military targets, but Iran consciously did not target civilians. The cover off begins. — Douglas Macgregor ( @DougAMacgregor ) April 14, 2024So, can both be right? Yes. It would be what you’d usually call a “pyrrhic victory”. Well Israel won that skirmish, but was it damaging much term? We shall see. Continue to pray for peace. [[{“value”:”
I wanted to explain the recent airstrikes launched by Iran against Israel over the past weekend and let you all know who “won” this exchange. I have two opposing opinions that I would like to share with you. Both of them make sense to me and could be “right” in some way. The most common analysis that I’ve read is that Israel shot down between 98 and 99% of all drones and missiles launched by Iran, and that this was a very humiliating showing for Iran. They shot their big shot, and it bombed. Congratulations to the Israeli people and respect to Israel Defense. 324 out of 331 missiles were shot down 98% defense success. * 185/185 Drones shot down
* 103/110 Ballistics shot down
How will Israel react to the fact that 36/36 cruise missiles were shot down? pic.twitter.com/ZsMGE2JEDX — Grant Cardone (@GrantCardone) April 14, 2024 Israel claims “99% were shot down”. pic.twitter.com/gUPjuxb15Y — Syrian Girl (@Partisangirl) April 15, 2024 Here is MeetKevin who I think does excellent analysis breaking down that opinion and saying Iran really looks bad right now: And by all accounts that is true. Israel put on a fantastic performance. But is there something more to this story? Mike Adams, the health ranger, is my friend. Mike Adams had a different view, stating that this attack was not really intended to blow up Israel but rather to deplete Iron Dome’s defenses and create a large bill for Israel. This is a very compelling and interesting take: #Iran used mostly low-cost drones, missiles, and anti-air defense munitions worth millions to shoot down the incoming incoming drones.

They launched volleys multi-million dollar anti air defense munitions in order to shoot down the incoming robots. This first wave was intended to deplete Israel’s supply of munitions, and stress the supply chain for U.S.-supplied munitions. Iran can quickly produce thousands of drones at low cost, but Israel is unable to replace the “Iron Dome”, “David’s Sling”, or other expensive munitions. Some of these munitions cost millions of dollars each. This is a losing trade for Israel. Israel’s claim that it has shot down “99% of the incoming drones and rockets” is not a victory. Iran wins. Israel can’t even do the math, as it admits that 7 hypersonic rockets made it through. That means Israel didn’t actually shoot down 99% of them. See my full analysis from last night: https://naturalnews.com/2024-04-14-iran-strikes-israel-region-plunges-escalation-cycle-nuclear-war.html Then you have U.S. Army Colonel Retired Combat Veteran Douglas Macgregor with a similar opinion: Israel’s air and missile defenses are not air tight. The Iranians deliberately avoided civilians, but they caused serious damage to military targets. The cover-up begins. Douglas Macgregor, (@DougAMacgregor), April 14, 2024 Can both sides be right? Yes. You’d call it a “pyrrhic win”. Israel may have won the skirmish but was that victory detrimental in the long run? We will see. Continue to pray for the peace.
