I’d really like to see someone who has the power to actually do something stand up to Israel and knock them down a peg or 2.
The information that I’ve seen about Israel’s attack on Iran over the weekend has some outrageous levels of discrepancy. Israel claims it crippled all of Iran’s air defenses and its ability to produce drones and missiles. Iran claims it intercepted the attack with limited damage (and a few confirmed fatalities). The truth is almost certainly between these 2 points with tons of propaganda and straight-up misinformation, but despite the “Iran Dome” bravado I’m not convinced that Iran’s defense was particularly successful.
I am no fan of Iran by any stretch and would prefer a more benign entity to step in and do something, but seeing them keep Israel in check would have been a welcome change. I guess my mindset is that you never really want one group to have too much power over others because being able to act with impunity opens the door for the worst types of behavior.
