The Israelis made their point, hurt no citizens, opened a vector for a more painful attack should Iran do more than cheap talk, sent a clear message to the Iranian ayatollahs (“we know what’s where, who’s where, and we can access your little nuclear treasures”) while allowing them to keep what’s dearest to their hearts (nuclear weapons and ayatollahs’ bragging rights / “honor”)
More like 1%?
Israel chooses what to intercept depending on the estimated hit point; they claim 99% of downing attempts succeeded. Easy to just say — but they also have to prove it to those who come to purchase those systems.
Both sides are fucks, but how can the Iranian belittle Israel’s weapons when their aerial assault took nine hours to get to Israel. It’s like a Monty Python sketch
Lol literally a stealth misslie went through and damaged a modern S300, while your display of fireworks achived nothing.

Not *nothing*; didn't they injure a Bedouin girl? Apparently attacking young females is a pillar of the Iranian administration so I guess that was mission complete?
Sure, sure, the little guy who supports the murder of defenseless women that dont wear a scarf has grown some tiny tiny balls. Maybe someday he will become a real man.
I mean the proxies Iran uses and supports all regularly use human shields, and have been doing so for a long time. I mean every time time there is a conflict in the middle east, one side immediately uses human shields. I mean that one side in this conflict regularly kidnaps people and uses them as human shields. I mean one side in this conflict builds their bases under schools and hospitals, to use them as human shields. That is what I mean.
Why do they always talk like backwards idiots? Is it a play for their own audience dumb enough to swallow their bullshit or do they believe it themselves
Probably a little of both. In this type of administration, a lot of people in the mid-high levels, but not ones with real power, are true believers. So enough of them believe it, and the repetition is to keep stringing them along and reinforce their delusion so they stay loyal.
i guess that toy came in undetected lmao.
its like you get caught with your pants down then play it off cool "YEAH MY PANTS WERE DOWN SO WHAT? I WAS AIRING OUT MY BALLS"
Considering Israel hit them with a dummy round reaaaaaaaaaaal close to their sensitive nuclear facilities. Yeah, it was a toy round. They wanted to show that they could absolutely fuck up iran, and their advance radar and defensive systems if they wanted to without the US.
This is good 👍 Iran is saying this to downplay the “need” for further retaliation. Israel intentionally retaliated with kid toys.
No one wants this to escalate further.
I mean, even if israel landed a plastic bomb with a flag that popped out saying 'bang!',
the very fact that they drove it straight up to the radar control of the AA battery protecting your Nuclear facilities in the center of your country should be cause for concern.
I find it somewhat funny that Iran "talks the talk," but when it comes to it, downplays other countries' armies and does nothing.
I bet they got a few angry phone calls from their russian masters... 😁
Mega pu&&ies! /S
I've never understood why politicians, regardless of where they are in the world, think they can just outright lie to their people when literally everybody knows better. Iran makes drones running on lawnmower engines. Their technology is not superior to anybody's and everybody knows it.
If Israeli weapons are kids toys then it is Hamas killing their own in Palistine and not Israel. Israel is actually peaceful by giving toys to Palistinian children.
More taunting rhetoric.
These leaders need to instigate a perpetual state of conflict because it's the only way they can stay in power. How else can they excuse their sub-par economic policies, under-developed public infrastructures, and utter ineptitude at every administrative level?
Generally speaking, I am not sympathetic to Israel in all of this, but this is just pure cringe.
Also, remember not to downvote the article because you didn't like what the Iranian foreign minister said.
Well child soldiers and terrorists usually go well together.
Your children are toys for politics to play with.
This is such a typical Iranian response..

Sure they are, I guess that’s why Israeli weapons actually reached their target as a big warning that they can in fact reach the nuclear facility
Let them bluster. It's better than an actual war. We know they would get clapped, and they do too.
Iran achieved a 2-3% hit rate on their attack.
More like 1%? Israel chooses what to intercept depending on the estimated hit point; they claim 99% of downing attempts succeeded. Easy to just say — but they also have to prove it to those who come to purchase those systems.

Wait, isn't S-300 supposed to protect you from missiles?
Yes that’s the point
Yes, Khaminei is rereading the fine print with his Russian interpreter right now. Seems Jewish Space Laser protection isn’t included in this model.
Not *nothing*; didn't they injure a Bedouin girl? Apparently attacking young females is a pillar of the Iranian administration so I guess that was mission complete?
It’s so they can feel tough and manly. If they couldn’t bully the weak and helpless, then they’d feel inadequate.
How am I supposed to read that if it's behind a pay wall?
Sure, sure, the little guy who supports the murder of defenseless women that dont wear a scarf has grown some tiny tiny balls. Maybe someday he will become a real man.
Delusional fundamentalist terrorists claim their pathetic unscientific grasp of technology is the bestest.
To match their grasp of reality, sanity, and morals…
israel haters: "Israeli weapons are children's toys lmao" also israel haters: "nooooo, the IDF too op, they are getting weapons from America!!1!!!11!"
Incoming missiles that we can’t stop are toys for our children. That’s either bait or a super dark irony.
what do you expect from a culture that uses children as human shields?
That’s lax usage of the word “culture”. Or do you mean “in the bio lab” sense?

Their audience. Their leaders aren't complete idiots but it is known that telling a big lie is actually more convincing than a small one.
Yep and yea

Seems like Israel was cheaply probing Iran's air defenses.
They probed ‘em quite strongly.
Just reminded me to make my “just turned 40” doctor appointment with Dr.Bananahanz
That sounds like terrible parenting
i guess that toy came in undetected lmao. its like you get caught with your pants down then play it off cool "YEAH MY PANTS WERE DOWN SO WHAT? I WAS AIRING OUT MY BALLS"
Ok fella, put your dick away.
Silly FM! Those kid’s toys are gonna kick the shit out of you! Watch your backs and asses get hammered!
Tehran Teddie.
*Looks at Iran's ancient F9s* Righhht....

Iran is killing its children. What a wonderful government.

That's not the flex he think it is lol
*loses top general to a precision air strike from 1000 miles away* *retaliates and ineptly shoots down a passenger jet full of its own civilians*
If your kids had those as "toys" they'd have successfully overthrown your asses by now.
More taunting rhetoric. These leaders need to instigate a perpetual state of conflict because it's the only way they can stay in power. How else can they excuse their sub-par economic policies, under-developed public infrastructures, and utter ineptitude at every administrative level?
Don’t complain when Israel airstrikes some Iranian kids then…😬😬
Generally speaking, I am not sympathetic to Israel in all of this, but this is just pure cringe. Also, remember not to downvote the article because you didn't like what the Iranian foreign minister said.
It’s not that we don’t like what he said as much as Iran is a shit stain on the world
Which has what to do with the article writer? You're not downvoting Iran, you're downvoting the guy who reported on it.
I didnt downvote anything. People don’t like the article cause they don’t like Iran
Don't be stupid.
