If Israel escalates by attacking Iran and striking at the country’s infrastructure, then Iran’s counter will be to take a page out of Russia’s book and commence the one line of attack which Israel, the US and their allies cannot withstand any better than Ukraine – that’s Electric War.
For the seven months which have elapsed since Hamas began its operation against Israel on October 7, and Israel commenced its genocide against the Palestinians, there has been no targeting by Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, or the Syrian and Iraqi groups of Israel’s highly vulnerable maritime gas platforms, gas pipelines, coal and oil-fired electricity generating plants, the coal and oil storages nearby, solar and wind power units, or the electricity grids keeping the country alight.
The Arab inhibitions and calculations are understandable. Iran’s will disappear if Israel triggers a new round of attacks.

i would simply not be emotionally invested in the powerlessness and ineffectuality of the resistance to the point i start uncritically consuming western media at the moment it is least likely to tell the truth
all the reports are saying
are you kidding me dude? oh wait this is dot world. makes sense, this could be a reddit comment it sucks that much.
did you hear about Yemen laying waste to Eilat or expanding their blockade into the Indian Ocean?? probably not.
just got finished talking with an Israeli arguing they are both "made invincible by the IDF" and "harmed" by fear of "Iranian joke rockets". air defense isn't magic, the good systems we have just spam $2M rockets over and over at $2000 drones
Now Israel gets a greenlight for its genocide
they already have it
the USA comes to the rescue to finish the job
they're already there
I can't read your post
You're probably holding your phone wrong.
@asklemmy@lemmy.ml Oh okay heard other commenters, but I can't see you on this instance only when I go to lemmy. Thanks for your help / ha ha at the joke
@ininewcrow@lemmy.ca It's simple to you because you don't take all your cues from media running off what Wall St pays like The Guardian, BBC, Foreign Policy, Financial Times, WSJ. Even turbo-hawks like the Institute for the Study of War and RAND Corp. agree, the time to negotiate was FEBRUARY BEFORE LAST. Thanks for using your head instead of jingoistic sadism.
@Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de Why would the passphrase being long defeat the purpose of using it. That's half the purpose of using passphrases.
Make sure to use made up words or proper nouns and put a pin in an unexpected place. That's an easy way to change it without replacing the whole passphrase

@criitz@reddthat.com @worldnews@lemmy.ml I'm gonna start by debunking the myth that Israel is invulnerable because they have nuclear weapons. Since they have so many conventional precision weapons pointed at Israel, without nuclear weapons Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran are still able to take out strategic targets: missile launchers, AA weapons, radar, runways, facilities in important bases, etc. In addition to this, they can use the strategy even against protected locations like these powerplants striking them with barrages that first use a bunch of cheap projectiles like drones to break the air defense then get a bunch of conventional strikes through depriving Israel of electricity. They can also do this to other facilities like water treatment, forcing military logistics to shift to providing food and water for civilians. note that none of this has the domestic and international consequences of using nuclear weapons. Now something to know about Israel is that they're not able to do without these amenities and they require extremely high morale to be willing to fight since they live in a giant strip mall.
