Either #Iran 🇮🇷 was too scared to fire hypersonic missiles at #Israel 🇮🇱, or they lack the technology to build them.
If the former, then this missile launch by Iran 🇮🇷 was a “show of force.” If the latter, they lack the capabilities to significantly harm Israel 🇮🇱.

@gimulnautti @nosmaharba I have not seen any credible reports of any large scale destruction on Israel 🇮🇱 from these attacks. I think the reason is due to the missiles that were fired from Iran 🇮🇷.
Israel 🇮🇱 can easily intercept non-hypersonic missiles (anything below Mach-5). But above that it becomes very difficult—even for the United States 🇺🇸.
My guess is that Iran 🇮🇷 has a limited number of hypersonic missiles, which they are saving for their nuclear program.

@nosmaharba @darnell Yes, we must be prepared to handle propaganda both from our enemies and our friends.
But it seems the cold war between Iran & Israel is now turning into a hot war.
This could turn out positively for #Ukraine. Israel attacking Iran by force could destroy a lot of the weapons previously bought by Russia.
But for it to turn good for the Iranian people, Israel would need to eliminate enough of the RG for the people to rise up. Can they do that?

@darnell there are reports that the F-35 base was "completely destroyed"
Undoubtedly hyperbole, but the large-scale destruction appears real
