Thats my point as well.Judicial law doesn't even make sense, what are you on about?

Looks like bit of a performative show from Iran to say look we've responded, now let's forget about it and move on.
Move on to what?

How does Yemen manage to send missiles or drones to attack Israel ? Do they fly up the red sea and turn right or does Saudi Arabia just let them fly over it's territory?
Iran had no intention of damaging Israel, those missiles were literal political posturing to appease increasingly wound up muslims across the globe. Israel was in no danger at all.I suspect Iran anticipated a bigger impact from 300 drones and missiles. Probably lucky for everyone that it didn't quite play out that way.
I think it suits Netanyahu very well to try to stir this up a bit more - it distracts from Gaza and guarantees the West keep the weapons and support tap turned on. The question is, will the US be able to rein him in - they haven't yet...
Most Muslim countries in the region despise Iran, to the extent that a few of them actually worked to intercept the drones on Israel’s behalf.those missiles were literal political posturing to appease increasingly wound up muslims across the globe.

Its a win for Israel as shows their military might and keeps the US off their backs. Love Netanyanhu. Tremendous leader.
Iran will be using the same tactics Russia used with their drones. In fact Ukraine was probably what inspired them. Something like £10k a piece and cost ten times that to shoot down don’t they? Just burns through money on the other side.
Apparently so. I have issues with that. While Parliament hasn't voted for a ceasefire neither has it voted in favour of military action to defend a foreign state. Going after the Houthis in Yemen is justifiable because they are targeting UK interests. Nevertheless, Sunak still had to defend that action without Parliamentary approval.Uk and US fighter jets took out many of the drones didn’t they?

Ah yes, those famously cheap bits of military hardware
I think maybe he's arguing it cost Israel little and the US/UK absorbed the cost.Ah yes, those famously cheap bits of military hardware

I'd certainly hope we're charging Israel for any of our hardware they're using, but wouldn't put it past Netanyahu saying they should do so for free as it protects their own interests.
No, but Israel will. Having done all the things they've done and then have someone else pick up the tab of any retaliation isn't going to moderate their behaviour.I’m not sure Iran care too much about which cost centre accounting are putting it under.

It’s all running down a balance. Whether it’s the Iron Dome funding or the aid from US/UK. We provided the weapons in Ukraine too.
Fact is the point of these attacks is that they’re cost effective and if you get lucky you might hit something. The maths is different from old school rocket attacks.
That was Cameron's reasoning, i see.Yeah, I presume the assumption was most would/nearly all would be taken out but as you say, there’s the cost impact of defence and Iran had to be seen to do something
I understand some might not be too happy with U.K. helping to take out the drones and missiles but I guess the alternative was to let them hit israel and a wider war to escalate. Probably on balance the right call although a tough one and you’d hope came with some conditions regarding Israel’s future conduct
Heard someone on the radio this morning saying we should providing same defence support to Ukraine ie taking out any unmanned Russian drones. hard to argue against really
Not wanting to seem "this is all about me" while seeming to be "this IS all about me"!
Fuck sake

Same accusation could just as easily be directed at youWell my point is you seem quite happy to waste billions on conflicts when it suits
Exactly. I want us to have nothing to do with any of these wars currently going on around the globe.No, that would be involving ourselves in a war.
