Iran’s retaliatory attack on Israel will go down in history as one of the greatest victories of this century. I’ve been writing about Iran for more than two decades. In 2005, I made a trip to Iran to ascertain the “ground truth” about that nation, a truth which I then incorporated into a book,
I certainly hope that your analysis is correct. While it is certainly logical, the madmen running both Israel and the US are too frequently immune to logic and common sense.
You demand citations, where in the first place you fail to even pretend to have any factual information about the attitudes of Jews outside of Israel on various issues, but resort to only racist epithets “Jew is Jew” sounding like a typical Nazi to support your biases and delusions as facts! Good job! Your statement and style of expression are reminiscent of Heinrich Himmler himself!
I cans't bee sayin' with certainties about numbers of folk in ye wide worlde thinkynge this or that, yet bee acquainted personally with many a folk of ye Jewish peoples who bee utterly opposed te this crewelty & see all ye lies of ye zionist state right clearly.

I don't see truthe in what ye say. I see it as a statement of prejudices & a dangerous generalyzin' that is naught helpful, but bee only fuel for fires of hatred. Truthe of humankynde be simple. Wher'er we go, whate'er folk we move amongst, there been those as hate, those as are crewel & unreesnable, & there bee those as bee seeking better ways of seein & higher paths of understandin'.

John LeCarré: “God appointed America to save the world in any way that suits America. God appointed Israel to be the nexus of America’s Middle Eastern policy and anyone who wants to mess with that idea is a) anti-Semitic, b) anti-American, c) with the enemy, and d) a terrorist.”
It’s too early to claim victory over Israel.
Let's see some Bomb Damage Videos.
Let's see some more attacks to conclusively degrade Israeli air defences.
Above all, let the Muslim world unite in resistance, in well-considered attacks, in victory.
Let Palestine live.
Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub (Saladin): “I warn you against shedding blood, indulging in it and making a habit of it, for blood never sleeps.”
Israel's attacks on Palestinians are intended as lessons for the Global South,
if they weren't paying attention to Biden's Ukrainian Genocide.
Washington is stating that our allies will commit any crime, and we will support them to the end, even in genocide.
Senior G7 diplomat (Newsweek, Oct 2023): “We have definitely lost the battle in the Global South. All the work we have done with the Global South [over Ukraine] has been lost . . . Forget about rules, forget about world order. They won’t ever listen to us again.”
I would not be so optimistic. Would love to read an analysis of what was really hit. Israelis mirror the Ukrainians with their 99% story and deny that the attack had any success.
I am also much less optimistic. The fact that 90 % of the missiles were shot down and Israel had full assistance of the US, UK and even of Jordan(!) would be telling Netanyahu that can do as he pleases and launch a fierce retaliatory attack on Iran, which in turn would start the grand escalation he wants... We'll see...
even grander escalation?...Times of India reported that Putin just said that Russia would assist Iran if the US attacks on behalf of Israel... Is it true? Also, there are reports that two Israeli military bases were hit with hypersonic missiles leaving some 40 soldiers dead, true?
Stop cheering genocide. Supremacist Ethnostate Israel is an apartheid cancer to the world, and an albatross around the neck of American citizens. You IsraelFirst Zionist have a chokehold on our government and media. This will change. Because it has to. Well, anyway, go America 🇺🇸
Listen to Alastair Crooke on Judging Freedom on this. He explains that the drones were cheap as chips, slow drones. They took 3.5 hours to get from launch to Israel. They were launched so they would be shot down, thus giving Iran a pinpoint of Israeli defence launch pads and the map of their defence structures. Alastair states that Iran got a huge amount of knowledge of the Zionists defence pattern from them. And they launched bigger, faster missiles to certain military targets, which they successfully took out. The drones were launched so they would be shot down - that was their purpose.
And apparently while not properly armed they carried dummy bomblets. Chaff in the old parlance upgraded for modern warfare. Next time some of the other stuff will be dummies and others real so Israel has to hit everything. That is the game theory stuff.
It’s not the damage that matters, simply the fact that they got through. If a dozen out of 300 got through, then what happens if Iran fires thousands? In that case hundreds of missiles get through, probably more. Especially as air defenses run out of ammunition. Iran could fire 200 missiles a day for 50-100 days straight. So yes, credible deterrence. And yes, that applies to US bases in the ME. It’s not the amount of damage that matters, but the fact of the arrival.
The drones wave ostensibly was to burn up anti-missile defense munitions. The one(?) precision targeted missile that was mixed in succeeded in striking the Negev military base. WHy was the negev attack not stopped? we dont' have much clarity. The networks that provide so much info on the UKraine war (including Ritter) may not have blow by blow info on this one. Maybe some lebanese website or such may have info?
Exactly this. And in a true exchange, with many more drones and missiles, anti-missile defense would be used up long before the missile barrage ended. This wasn’t an attack, it was a message.
This far more lucid account of the attack is more probable than the mainstream media's account that 99% of the missiles fired were shot down, mostly before they reached Israel, with no credible damage done.
You could say so when you think where all those Judaism 'converted' Khazarians from Ukraine/Crimea have gone.
The Khazars were originally semi-nomadic Mongolians and Turks who occupied much of the southeastern section of modern European Russia, southern Ukraine, Crimea, and Kazakhstan from 6-11. century and "converted" to Judaism in the 8th century, and todays calling themselves European Jews and Abrahamic Bloodline/Israelites descendant Jews, which they are not.
The real Abrahamic Bloodline/Israelites descendant Jews are today only about 2,5% of all jews globally.
Khazars, those fake jews main enemy is Christianity, because they hate Jesus Christ, and frankly they hate everyone who's not one of them.
With the unofficial support of the Byzantines, who were beginning to see the Khazar's kingdom/empire called Khaganate as a threat, the Russians launched several attacks on the Khazars finally destroying the power of the Khaganate by the late 960s with the Khazar limestone fortresses of Sarkel and Tamatarkha falling in 965 and the Empire's capital Atil being destroyed around 969, so complete was the loot of the city by the Russians that a contemporary wrote “no grape or raisin remained, not a leaf on a branch”
SO AGAIN, WHERE DID THOSE KHAZARS WENT, AND DON'T SAY THEY JUST 'DISAPPEARED' ?
You are mistaken in believing that Biden has suddenly developed a conscience, Scott. He is a demented war criminal through and through. He just cares about poll numbers and the upcoming election. His morality is strictly statistics-driven. There is no there there.
I fail to see where Scott said or implied that Biden "has developed a conscience". Biden's "conscience" consists of his desire to get re-elected while assuaging the Israel lobby, his paymasters. This requires a show of putting distance between himself and Israel, which is all Scott was talking about.
Could not agree with you more, Carolyn. He's a slightly less ignorant and stupid, while substantially more pugnacious version of GWBush. Also, clearly lacks the intelligence to present the kind of sleek, insidious deception of Obama he signifies the depletion of the Deep State's tool-kit for maintaining the US Democracy charade.
He bee a crewel hearted manne with a value system of a cynical sorte. Worde as springs to my mynde is arsehole. This bee ye problem all round worlde though as I see it. Only arseholes & crewel hearts with cynical myndes of nay felxibilities nor subtelties seemeth te bee in positions of power, or seeking suche. Folk of a certaine kynde of mynde that not only careth not for sufferin' they doth cause but seemeth trueley te gaine pleasure from causin' it!
Yes 'Thomas', you have it true, and "arsehole" is the kindest word. However, a Psychopath is someone who can inflict pain, suffering, injury, even death without empathy, compassion or remorse. The psychopath needs to criminalise and dehumanise others, in order to compensate their own deficiency. There are many others who, like you and I, understand this and about how power corrupts - but there are countless others, beguiled by the "trueman" world of illusion, thought all was well - until now! Be eternally grateful to Hamas, those brave heroes who broke through or flew over the fence of their containment and fought back or their dignity and freedom, far more courageous than me and perhaps more than many others, to exercise their right to resist a brutal, racist, psychopathic occupation. For all the Western world owes them the greatest appreciation for exposing, in full sunlight, for all the world to see, just how psychotic, debauched and deranged are the perverse club of powerful degenerates who hold the levers of Western Power. The foul stench is out, all the sleepers are awake and the reality can never again be concealed, they no longer have the tools of deception, only of brutal, violent oppression, which have always failed. Their game is over, their days are numbered. THANK YOU HAMAS. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU .
I ave arsked my friend & fellowe leveller "Just Another Man" te message ye direct, but he doth soe under my owne name as he bee dependent on using my account. He feels we should be spreading yon idea of thine far & wide. A few activistic sortes I bee knowing of a personal acquaintance may be well innerested. It would bee a fyne thynge if ye could talk together on ye matter.
Ah now. I understand ye, but say also it were a sadness to my heart many centries past in England that folk had no other recourse te rescue themselves from abuses of ye tyrant King (whiche of course we know all kings te bee) than resortin' te militant armes & rising up free folk te fight in like manner te cut off his head! In end his tyranny were replaced by tyranny of another sorte, whereby instead of one tyrant we had a parliament full of 'em!
Much like unto today across all globe!
I wish it were so we lived in a world whereso difrences of percieved interests could bee resolved all tymes by respectful & wise discussion amongst equals, respectful of ye intrinsic worthiness & legitimacy of need common te all folk.
Sadly we don't have such a worlde as yet, prhaps never shalle, whoso can say? I believe in my heart though in ye essential goodness of humankynde as te bee outweighin' & in final analysis outsmartin', those whoso give free reign te ye lower aspects of our predatory nature with nay thought nor care for harms they inflict by doin' so.
So do I applaud ye courage of these as echoed our rebellion four centrys past? Aye, I do. Do I applaud ye necessity of it or relish in the death of it? Nay, I do not.
But now what we bee seein' is crewelty beyond mosts capacities for understandin'.
I ain't one te judge acts of desperate kynde fer I know full well what despration doth feel lyke.
As fer these 'ere "psychopaths", they bee human too & worthy of God's considerin no less than I, but we doth need to keep them on a leash when placed in public service. We canst bee having them makynge decisions with such responsibilities attached te effect all our lyves now & in futur.
Hopefully goode thynges shall indeed come of it all in tyme.
Fer myself I bee seekin' a broader understandin' of our owne naturs & i echo wordes only of wiser soules than myne.
"Understandeth with compassione, or misunderstandeth ye tymes"
I believe chaynge can bee a thynge even in ye most damaged of hearts and my friend & guest writer on my page who goes by name of "just another man" has much te say on matter of ye need fer inner transformation of a spirtul sorte te bee resolvin' these complex issues in a worlde of ever increasin' complexities.
He bee someone as understandeth ye nature of narcissist & sociopaths, & he bee one who knows even they can have epiphanies & become somethin' difrent.
Ye complexities cud bee simplified he sayeth by simply recognizing the fundamental truthe of every livin' soule havin' same basic rights. Rights that canst bee selective or mutable but fixed things as apply to all.
But in meantyme we most urgent bee in need of removin' all such pathologies from positions of power over common folks, & ye common treasury of wealth& abundance we cud in fact bee sharin withall, rather than waystin all our energies on fightin & killin' one another over it.
"As fer these 'ere "psychopaths", they bee human too & worthy of God's considerin "
The Authors of the Biblical Stories scripted the character of their God.
I don't think they were the last word on spiritualism but their God incinerated the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and turned Lott's wife to a pillar of salt because she looked back.
I can estimate God's considerin of "these 'ere "psychopaths".
I shalle bee lookin' at ye information ye share. But don't assume ye "God" I bee mentioning has anything te do with words written in those texts ye mentioned. For each must fynde their owne meanin as to what must bee sacred te themselves an my "God" has little if aught te do with words of bibles & misreprsented mythologies. My God is as much thee as it is me, as much those as it is these. My "God" ain't being limited by human ideas nor answerable to human constructs or values. It transcendeth all manifest things & all human understandin'.
I like sound of true democratic process though for sure, an believe most emphatically that all power belongeth te ye concent of those as bein governed by it, & so must by necessitie be decentralyzed, spread thinly as it can be, givin' agency of process & decision into hands of folk whose lyves be affected by consequence of decisions mayde ¬ by folk as sit in high places far removed from same.
My theory is that this fireworks display was Iran's free home demonstration that Iran is perfectly capable of hitting the Zionists with missiles that would wipe them off the map. Like Zionists used "knocking on the roof" as a warning to Gazans, Iran is warning Zionists that it will be "The fire next time" -- and to back off from slaughtering more folks in West Asia. https://jpstillwater.blogspot.com/2024/04/a-free-home-demonstration-by-iran.html
It would be nice to see where Scott heard Biden or anyone in his administration, try to disengage with Israel. There are lots of videos of Biden declaring how the USA will defend Israel.
While it is recognized that the Biden Administration often lies, the MSM isn't reporting anything like what Scott mentions here. Neither the disengagement nor the success of the Iran attack.
Ben Norton provides many examples of the West lying about the attacks on Iran.
Trouble is, I'm beginning to wonder just how far down the Rabbit Hole have I gone.
If it weren't for Brian Berletic and his constant analysis of MSM articles and Think Tank papers I'd wonder even more. Berletic is absolutely the best in providing detailed analysis and back up of his story with dozens of references.
I certainly hope that your analysis is correct. While it is certainly logical, the madmen running both Israel and the US are too frequently immune to logic and common sense.
Not madmen. Jews.
Don't you mean Zionists?
90% of Jews support the genocide of the Palestinians. So, the Jew and Zionists are one and the same.
True in the case of Israel proper. But, definitely not the case among diaspora Jewish populations including in the US.
Citation needed. The Jew is the Jew. Why do you feel the need to defend these chicken swingers ?
You demand citations, where in the first place you fail to even pretend to have any factual information about the attitudes of Jews outside of Israel on various issues, but resort to only racist epithets “Jew is Jew” sounding like a typical Nazi to support your biases and delusions as facts! Good job! Your statement and style of expression are reminiscent of Heinrich Himmler himself!
90% of the Israeli Zionist Jews do. Torah Jews who live in the diaspora have not, as far as I am aware, been polled.
This is a lie that every Zionist keeps trying to propagate. More than half of the Jewish population are anti-Zionists.
I cans't bee sayin' with certainties about numbers of folk in ye wide worlde thinkynge this or that, yet bee acquainted personally with many a folk of ye Jewish peoples who bee utterly opposed te this crewelty & see all ye lies of ye zionist state right clearly. There bee a fyne line betwixt reesnable outrage agenst actionnes of governance by tryannous states & unreesnable assumpshuns concerning whole trybes, races or religious cultures.

That’s not true

Too true.
The US has tried—unsuccessfully—to take the keys out of the ignition of Netanyahu’s suicide bus ride.
This is ridiculous.
Just cut off all weapons and the money supply and that illegal criminal hq of the Jew will cease to exist.
But the Jews who run the USA will never cut off the Jews who run occupied Palestine.
Why should white Christian people in USA fund free healthcare free schools, food and fuel for the Jew that spits on and kills Christians
Fortunately the goyim seem to be waking up.
I admire your optimism but I see the public as brainwashed and brain dead as ever. I hope I am wrong.
Couldn't agree more! Ritter either buys into the Zionazi-American BS, or he's toking some heavy shit.
Fabulous piece. Iran clearly plays chess much better than the Israeli's. Let's hope Bolton and Gallant get drowned out.
Scott, thanks for this analysis. Its depth is amazing. I so appreciate your work.
I would not be so optimistic. Would love to read an analysis of what was really hit. Israelis mirror the Ukrainians with their 99% story and deny that the attack had any success.

in the coming days we'll probably see more outspoken and more international reactions. crazy times!
What is wrong with Russia?! Why are they buddies with the Jihadi Johnnies of Teheran?
Well, anyway, go Israel. 🇮🇱
Stop cheering genocide. Supremacist Ethnostate Israel is an apartheid cancer to the world, and an albatross around the neck of American citizens. You IsraelFirst Zionist have a chokehold on our government and media. This will change. Because it has to. Well, anyway, go America 🇺🇸
Yes, go Israel -- straight to hell.
Aww, dude! Bess Israel, and you shall be blessed. Curse them, and you'll be cursed.
Says who? I'll take my chances. The world would be a much more peaceful and prosperous place if Israel never existed.
The real Israel. Not the military base that stole its name and started calling itself a country.
"What is wrong with Russia?" What is wrong with Russia is that they are not in the circle that obey you.
What a shame! I'd love to live in a country that works.

EDIT: per TV ~300 drones, Iran notified in advance, tracer lights on them; per https://www.airandspaceforces.com/usaf-fighters-shoot-down-iranian-drones-in-defense-of-israel/ 30 cruise missiles, 120+ ballistic missiles.
(These latter numbers for missiles seem to be fake?, .....)
Exactly this. And in a true exchange, with many more drones and missiles, anti-missile defense would be used up long before the missile barrage ended. This wasn’t an attack, it was a message.
yeah, well.....no indication the message is being noted inside the beltway. a lot of propaganda on heavy rotation
This far more lucid account of the attack is more probable than the mainstream media's account that 99% of the missiles fired were shot down, mostly before they reached Israel, with no credible damage done.
IT'S UKRAINE REPORTING BS
You think Israel and the Ukraine are the same country?
You could say so when you think where all those Judaism 'converted' Khazarians from Ukraine/Crimea have gone.

SO AGAIN, WHERE DID THOSE KHAZARS WENT, AND DON'T SAY THEY JUST 'DISAPPEARED' ?
Have you never heard of the Khazarian diaspora?
What I like to hear is all Khazarian bloodlines be eliminated from planet Earth.
It's a script that successfully propagandized most Ukrainians who were not near the front to see things for themselves.
You are geopolitically challenged as well?
Are you dyslexic? A script as a template for any administration in any country. Standard Operating Procedure, especially during such conflicts.
I'd rather be dyslexic than as stupid as you appear to be, assuming that you aren't high on a psychedelic drug of some kind.

He bee someone as understandeth ye nature of narcissist & sociopaths, & he bee one who knows even they can have epiphanies & become somethin' difrent.
Ye complexities cud bee simplified he sayeth by simply recognizing the fundamental truthe of every livin' soule havin' same basic rights. Rights that canst bee selective or mutable but fixed things as apply to all.
But in meantyme we most urgent bee in need of removin' all such pathologies from positions of power over common folks, & ye common treasury of wealth& abundance we cud in fact bee sharin withall, rather than waystin all our energies on fightin & killin' one another over it.
"As fer these 'ere "psychopaths", they bee human too & worthy of God's considerin "
The Authors of the Biblical Stories scripted the character of their God.
I don't think they were the last word on spiritualism but their God incinerated the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and turned Lott's wife to a pillar of salt because she looked back.
I can estimate God's considerin of "these 'ere "psychopaths".
Our only real hope is True Democracy and I suggest https://www.rightofchoice.com/.
It soundeth like a meaningful thynge & i bee downloadin' it.
I believe Icelandic folk created new constitution by similar methods.
I shalle bee lookin' at ye information ye share. But don't assume ye "God" I bee mentioning has anything te do with words written in those texts ye mentioned. For each must fynde their owne meanin as to what must bee sacred te themselves an my "God" has little if aught te do with words of bibles & misreprsented mythologies. My God is as much thee as it is me, as much those as it is these. My "God" ain't being limited by human ideas nor answerable to human constructs or values. It transcendeth all manifest things & all human understandin'.
I like sound of true democratic process though for sure, an believe most emphatically that all power belongeth te ye concent of those as bein governed by it, & so must by necessitie be decentralyzed, spread thinly as it can be, givin' agency of process & decision into hands of folk whose lyves be affected by consequence of decisions mayde ¬ by folk as sit in high places far removed from same.
How will the election "work" if summer driving /flying season sees $150 oil?
thank you Scott for this Update
Great commentary.
Thank you Mr. Ritter.
BiBi went TOO Far again and will now
Reap what HE has Sown.
Excellent piece , it would be good to know more about the damages on the Israeli airports and military bases
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
My theory is that this fireworks display was Iran's free home demonstration that Iran is perfectly capable of hitting the Zionists with missiles that would wipe them off the map. Like Zionists used "knocking on the roof" as a warning to Gazans, Iran is warning Zionists that it will be "The fire next time" -- and to back off from slaughtering more folks in West Asia. https://jpstillwater.blogspot.com/2024/04/a-free-home-demonstration-by-iran.html
It would be nice to see where Scott heard Biden or anyone in his administration, try to disengage with Israel. There are lots of videos of Biden declaring how the USA will defend Israel.
While it is recognized that the Biden Administration often lies, the MSM isn't reporting anything like what Scott mentions here. Neither the disengagement nor the success of the Iran attack.
Ben Norton provides many examples of the West lying about the attacks on Iran.

More people need to listen to Ben Norton. Also to Glenn Diesen, John Mearsheimer, the Duran and the GrayZone.

Trouble is, I'm beginning to wonder just how far down the Rabbit Hole have I gone.
If it weren't for Brian Berletic and his constant analysis of MSM articles and Think Tank papers I'd wonder even more. Berletic is absolutely the best in providing detailed analysis and back up of his story with dozens of references.
sigh--- read Axios-- Biden told Bibi he will not participate. Look at actions not words-- geez
Why should I believe Axios? Why don't you provide a link if you know the story?
Axios is not a site that I support.
it's very biased (thus more of a gatekeeper). Zerohedge is better.
Thank you Scott Ritter for a perspective that is utterly invisible in the criminally culpable Western Media.
It appears that Iran has out- manuevered Israel.
It successfully struck back at Israel for its criminal attack against its embassy in Damascus, and kept the US out of the fray. Bravo!
