17 Apr 2014 – A Holy of the Holies was shattered in the Holy Land as Iran staged a quite measured, heavily choreographed response to the Israeli terror attack against its consulate\/ambassador residence in Damascus, a de facto evisceration of the Vienna Convention on diplomatic immunity.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
This game-changer will directly interfere on how the Anglo-American system manages its simultaneous conflagration with Russia, China and Iran \u2013 three top BRICS members.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The key problem is escalations are already built in \u2013 and will be hard to remove. The Total Cancel War against Russia; the genocide in Gaza \u2013 with its explicit policy<\/a> masterfully decoded by Prof. Michael Hudson; and the decoupling\/shaping the terrain against China won\u2019t simply vanish \u2013 as all communication bridges with the Global Majority keep being torched.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Yet the Iranian message indeed establishes a \u201cNew Equation<\/em>\u201d \u2013 as Tehran christened it, and prefigures many other surprises to come from West Asia.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Iran wanted to \u2013 and did send \u2013 a clear message. New equation: if the biblical psychopathic entity keeps attacking Iranian interests, from henceforth it will be counter-attacked inside Israel. All that in a matter of \u201cseconds<\/em>\u201d \u2013 as the Security Council in Tehran has already cleared all the procedures.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Escalation though seems inevitable. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak<\/strong>:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cNetanyahu is influenced by his [fundamentalist] political partners to go into an escalation so he can hold onto power and accelerate the coming of the Messiah<\/em>.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Compare it to Iranian President Raisi<\/strong>: “The smallest act against Tehran’s interests will be met with a massive, extensive, and painful response against all its operations<\/em>.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Infographics: Iran’s Operation ‘True Promise’ Launched on Israel<\/a>\u00a0 14 April, 12:58 GMT<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Goodbye to Your ‘Invincible’ Defense Maze<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
For Tehran, regulating the intensity of the clash in West Asia between Israel and the Axis of Resistance while simultaneously establishing strategic deterrence to replace \u201cstrategic patience<\/em>\u201d was a matter of launching a triple wave: a drone swarm opening the path for cruise missiles and ballistic missiles.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The performance of the much-vaunted Iron Dome, Arrow-3 and David’s Sling \u2013 aided by F-35 fighter jets and the US and the UK naval force<\/a> – was not exactly stellar. There\u2019s no video of the \u201couter-layer<\/em>\u201d Arrow-3 system shooting down anything in space.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
At least 9 ballistic missiles penetrated the dense Israeli defense network<\/a> and hit the Nevatim and Ramon bases. Israel is absolutely mum on the fate of its Golan Heights intel installation \u2013 hit by cruise missiles.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n
Strike on Israel \u2018Just a Slap in the Face\u2019 Previewing Iran\u2019s True Capabilities\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>14 April, 18:38 GMT<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Amidst classic fog of war, it\u2019s irrelevant whether Tehran launched hundreds or dozens of drones and missiles<\/a>. Regardless of NATOstan media hype, what\u2019s proven beyond the shadow of a doubt is that the supposedly \u201cinvincible<\/em>\u201d Israeli defense maze \u2013 ranging from US-made AD\/ABM systems to Israeli knockoffs \u2013 is helpless in real war against a technologically advanced adversary.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
What was accomplished by a single operation did raise quite a few professional eyebrows. Iran forced Israel to furiously deplete its stock of interceptors and spend at least $1.35 billion<\/strong> \u2013 while having its escalatory dominance and deterrence strategy completely shattered.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The psychological blow was even fiercer.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
What if Iran had unleashed a series of strikes without a generous previous warning lasting several days? What if US, UK, France and – traitorous – Jordan were not ready for coordinated defense? (The – startling – fact they were all directly dispensing firepower on Tel Aviv\u2019s behalf was not analyzed at all). What if Iran had hit serious industrial and infrastructural targets?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
