    Rubbish...all these guys actually don't want a Palestinian state.
  • @jakobbergen7574
    The Iranian response was not a failure. They gathered intelligence and used old slow drones with a warning to send a message.
  • @filthypirate
    Stop complaining in the comments and do something about it. Vote out any politician funded by AIPAC or Israeli lobby
  • @Nur1234-mp7sf
    By committing genocide in front of the entire world? Indeed.
  • Do not ask what your country can do for you. Ask what your country can do for Israel.
  • @alextabet9247
    Iran did not intend to do more damage. They announced their attack well ahead of time. They were sending a message.
  • @Modus07
    A “strategic misjudgment” is a very strange way to say GENOCIDE.
  • @hadi96100
    It's the little things - when that expert lies, he coughs a little.
  • 🤣🤣🤣🤣So it's called a strategic misjudgment? The only misjudgment we all can see is a people thinking they can live peacefully by taking people's land all around the world.
  • If Sawyers thinks Iran didnt do exactly what it set out to do he is delusional.
  • @byurBUDdy
    The Iranians sent a swarm of drones to confuse the radar systems of the Iron Dome, and apparently 5 of the 7 ballistic missiles that they sent to strike the air force base that launched the attack in Syria struck their target. I'd say that was a resounding success considering that the place hit was supposedly the most heavily guarded place in the world against missile attacks.
  • @Josh00044
    So, why was Iran hit with sanctions for retaliation and have had their response condemned? When is Israel being condemned and sanctioned?
  • @garyleiser753
    The Iranian strike on Israel was a psychological blow, not a military one.
  • @jdmitaine
    and yet the US has voted against recognizing Palestine and Palestinians into the UN family..... US is totally complicite in this genocide, nothing less
  • @hadikhan5197
    The only misjudgment here is the absence of realising that the Occupation is the Problem. Everything else is secondary.. until the Occupation ends, there’ll be No Peace nor any Security for Anyone.
  • @N_Ides
    Blinken says we are not involved in any offensive operations, aside from the fact that we provide the jets, bombs and guns.
  • @stablegenius375
    "US working on deescaltion...." LOL yeah right, you tell them Blinken
  • @1973Eliman
    Liar, two military bases in Israël have clearly been hit. What are you talking about.
  • @dkm6486
    Failure right? Continue to take the world for idiots. We have eyes and ears and understanding to comprehend what is actually happening. You people underestimate the intelligence of the wider society. Shame
