  1. ***The Telegraph reports:***

    Joe Biden reportedly warned Benjamin Netanyahu [that the US](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/04/14/raf-and-us-jets-rally-to-israel-defence-iran-attack/) will not participate in any [Israeli counter-attacks against Iran](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/04/14/israel-hamas-war-iran-drone-attack-raf/#1713093761454).

    The US president and his senior advisers are highly concerned that an Israeli response to Iran’s attack would lead to a regional war with catastrophic consequences, US officials told Axios.

    On Saturday evening, Iran launched its first-ever direct attack on Israel, [involving more than](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/04/13/israel-hamas-war-latest-iran-attack-soon-biden/) 300 drones and missiles. The attack came in retaliation to an airstrike in Syria on April 1 that killed seven of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps – Israel has neither confirmed nor denied responsibility.

    Mr Biden said the US and Israel had shot down “nearly all” of the drones and missiles launched by Tehran overnight, aided also by Britain, France and Jordan. Israel said 99 per cent were intercepted without hitting their targets and that “very little damage” had been caused.

    American forces intercepted 70 drones and at least three ballistic missiles, according to CNN, while Mr Biden also said that US support for Israel was “ironclad”.

    “You got a win. Take the win,” Mr Biden reportedly told Mr Netanyahu, adding that the US will not participate in any offensive operations. Mr Netanyahu reportedly said that he understands the US’s position.

    Iran has said the attacks “achieved all its objectives” and that it is not planning any further operations. It warned Israel against taking any “reckless” actions, and said it would not hesitate to retaliate with a “much stronger response”.

    However, Israel has said the “campaign is not over yet”.

  2. I understand it could be much worse, but the death of a 10 year old Israeli arab child is not a win

  3. Just to mess with them Israel should publish reports of “the horrible devastation caused by Iran’s attack”.

  4. I’m so glad we have have Biden in office right now instead of Trump. Trump absolutely would encourage Netanyahu to escalate the conflict even further

  5. Not just one win, but two. Israel took out the Iranian embassy in Damascus and their intended targets inside, then almost flawlessly repelled the retaliatory strike by Iran. Israel looks strong, Iran is humbled. It’s the perfect time to deescalate.

    I’m not surprised Biden sees the wisdom of this.

  6. Not really a win to say they wouldn’t respond to a direct attack. Israel is always being told to hold back, for example in the gulf war when Iraq bombed them knowing Israel getting involved would push out Arab allies.

    I suspect it is the best course for peace, but not sure if it’s the best course for Israel.

    Iran basically gave warnings and did the minimum possible, nobody wants a war thankfully. I still expect us to sleepwalk into one.

  8. This really is a great outcome for everyone except Bibi if things stay as they are:

    •Minimal casualties for Israel

    •Demonstration of excellent US/Israeli ballistic defense

    •Iran got to launch some stuff on Israeli soil and showcase its arms industry for the world market.

    Bibi and a few other lunatics of course want a 4 month US-led air war followed by ground invasion of Iran.  They won’t get shit.  

  9. I used to think Israel is a USA controlled state. Apparently not.

  10. Take this opportunity to take out some important Iranian proxy targets. Iran cannot complain as it is not an attack on their soil.

  11. If Iran had fired hundreds of rockets and drones at America last night, how much of Iran would have been turned to ash by this morning?

  15. And how much money was spent on this circle jerk of shooting objects put of the sky I wonder….

  17. In the last 48 hours, Iran sent a barrage of missiles, performed a cyberattack on Israel’s electrical grid and pirated a ship. In addition, it continues to enable its proxies to attack. On what planet is this a win for Israel?

  18. If Netanyahu responds again, it will be clear that he wants a broader war. This outcome from a retaliatory strike is a best-case scenario. If he escalates again, he is dangerously out of control and is acting on political concerns and not security concerns.

  19. Propagandists pushing this angle hard hoping nothing happens to Iran and Hamas.

    Israel just had 100+ ballistic missiles and cruise missiles fired at it. No country on the planet would let that happen and not respond in-kind all in the name of “de-escalation”. Never in history has anyone been attacked like that and been asked to just suck it up and let it happen.

  20. Biden says this publically to obviously not come off as wanting to provoke war, but if we’re being real Israel probably will retaliate and the u.s contingencies for that are probably being planned in secret.

    Israel is heavily traumatized by Oct 7th on top of of a direct provocation by the same country that assisted in that trauma, knowing that Iran doesn’t carry the healthy fear for them as they should have. Israel’s survival relies on that fear as they’re surrounded by hostile nations. And Israel has been itching to destroy Iran’s nuclear program.

    The circumstances are *ripe* for further escalation and I’m not sure if America can do much more than give advice otherwise and hope. If America was in Israel’s shoes, regime change would’ve happened yesterday.

  21. biden is in election mode, if this was amaerica getting attacked on this scale there would be a very significant response

  22. 99% intercepted doesn’t seem like great publicity for Iran’s weapon industry

  23. So the Iranian military is basically Borat…

    Iranian low level: “Sir, we didn’t hit anything.”

    Iranian leader: “Very nice…great success!”

  24. Its honestly incredibly messed up that so many people on reddit/social media are celebrating Iran right now.

    Can’t really hide behind the “we swear, it’s not antisemitism!” anymore.

  25. Anyone else wondering just a little bit why we are “in the know” on some convos that should really be private between the commander and chief and one of his allies?

  26. I don’t think Israel should hold back sooner or later Iran needs to be beat down into nothing

  27. Its not a win if Hamas survives. Its just waiting for another loss of life.
