Freezer posted:just read this crazy Clancy-esque theory, and even tough I don’t believe it , it’s my duty to share because lol of true. quote:Although the Israelis have not yet taken responsibility for anything, the U.S quickly stated that it was Israeli through multiple outlets. I will put forward a wild theory here: I believe this now. Israel still hasn't taken credit despite having been public about doing the retaliation. It's day in Iran and there should be photos of damage by now. Israel can't do their attack now because it couldn't be seen as justifiable to the world who can tolerate one attack, but not two.

Biden is FURIOUS!! ==== Biden mulls sending new weapons to Israel Reuters reported that US President Joe Biden is considering sending more than a billion dollars in new weapons to Israel. The United States is Israel's biggest military and diplomatic backer, and research by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute showed that 69 percent of Israel's arms purchases come from U.S. companies. Wall Street Journal: US arms deal to Israel will be the largest since the war began The Wall Street Journal on US officials: The Biden administration is considering arms deals for Israel worth more than a billion dollars. Israel's arms deal includes tank ammunition, military vehicles and mortars. The proposed arms transfers to Israel would be the largest since the war began. https://www.aljazeera.net/news/live...%83%D9%8A%D8%A9

Iran seems pretty determined to downplay this and not take the bait, and they don’t have internal pressures to do so. I’d like to believe that if Israel escalated again because they seem determined to open a second front somewhere that it would provoke a harsher response given just how reckless they’re getting but lol

My conspiracy: this false flag was plated by Iranian intelligence themselves. They wanted to condition the public that Israeli attacks are toothless and Iran doesn't need to respond to tiny attacks. It also makes Iran look good and also the adult in the room. Its my wild guess.

The guesses here and on reddit are about as good as mine (which is that everyone basically did what they intended, but extra-dimensional aliens and/or all the gods of earth swooped in and dismantled the nukes Israel fired before they could go off)
