And it Begins

Something very fishy going on. I found it weird that drones/missles were launched from Iran as well as proxies in Yemen, but none were launched from the better armed proxies in Lebanon or Syria right next door. If they actually wanted to hit targets, giving .5-1 hour or more warning instead of seconds is not very smart. The whole thing smells off - like Iran had no intentions of actually hitting anything.

I wondered about that myself. Arabs have a propensity to let their rhetoric and bluster paint themselves into a corner where they absolutely have to do something or be seen as a coward and a traitor to the Arab world. Nasser found that out the hard way in 1967. The Iranian mullahs probably prayed that all missiles and drones be shot down lest they really pi$$ Israel off. Now they can can placate the mob by saying they struck a great blow against the Little Satan without having to worry about an Israeli Have Nap giving them a permanent dirt nap.
