The myth of Israeli military invulnerability lies in rubble.
What’s
proven to be a historic and humiliating turn for Israel’s Zionist
regime, Iran has dealt a blow not just to Israel’s infrastructure — but
to the very foundation of its psychological warfare. The illusion of
supremacy and impunity has collapsed in real time.
Israel’s
cyber-assisted strike on Iranian military and nuclear infrastructure
was supposed to be a game-changer. Executed in tandem with a
sophisticated cyberattack that disabled Iran’s air defence systems for
approximately eight hours, the operation was designed to disorient,
disrupt, and dominate. It failed. Spectacularly.
Within
ten hours, Iranian technicians restored their systems. By hour twelve,
the first wave of Iranian ballistic missiles rained down across Israel —
targeting military command hubs, critical intelligence sites, and,
notably, the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot.
The
Iron Dome — long held up as a marvel of modern defence — was useless.
US-deployed THAAD systems guarding the IDF’s military headquarters also
failed under the barrage. This wasn’t just an act of retaliation. It was
an unveiling. But the world already knew the Iron Dome was a just a
plastic bubble. Iran demonstrated that last year with its responses to
the attacks and assassination of one of it’s top IRGC generals and
killing of staff at its consulate in Damascus with its retaliatory
strikes of Operations True Promise 1 and 2. Operation True Promise 3 is
as Iran said would be more devastating and frighteningly destructive.
Israel’s
model of warfare has always been pre-emptive, provocative, and deeply
reliant on its assumption of strategic superiority.
From
assassinating Iranian scientists to bombing airfields in Syria and
flattening apartment blocks in Gaza, Israel’s actions have consistently
escaped consequences. It fights without fear of retaliation, armed with
American munitions and diplomatic impunity. Its strategy depends on
hitting others — but never being hit.
Israel’s doctrine
of one-sided warfare is now bankrupt. The retaliatory strikes by Iran
did more than damage Israeli infrastructure — they shattered the myth
that Israel is untouchable. What we are witnessing is not just a
military failure, but an existential crisis for the Zionist regime. Its
greatest weapon — fear — no longer works.
For
over two decades, Iran has been the target of sabotage, assassinations,
and relentless threats of regime change. While remaining within the
limits of the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action), Tehran has
shown remarkable restraint — even when its generals were murdered and
its scientists were killed on Iranian soil.
It's
evident Iran’s restraint has brought no peace. Instead, it has
emboldened Israel to take ever more dangerous steps, convinced of its
own invulnerability. The message is clear: non-nuclear nations have no
real sovereignty in the eyes of the West or its proxies.
In this
reality, Iran has only one path to ensure its security: nuclear
deterrence. Not as a weapon of aggression — but as the sole viable
shield against perpetual threats from a nuclear-armed neighbour with a
record of regional destruction.
Israel's refusal to sign the
Non-Proliferation Treaty while stockpiling nuclear warheads under US
protection is a provocation. Its demand that Iran remain non-nuclear,
while it carries out military strikes across sovereign borders, is not
just hypocritical — it’s suicidal policy by design. Iran’s nuclear
pursuit is no longer about prestige. It is about survival.
The US
is no longer the force it once was. As Washington scrambles to maintain
control in Ukraine, it has now begun diverting munitions and air defence
systems intended for Kyiv to Israel — highlighting an overstretched
empire trying to prop up too many proxies at once.
Russia,
meanwhile, has made clear that it stands behind Iran through the January
17 Strategic Partnership Agreement. Article 3 of the pact ensures that
neither party will assist an aggressor. Article 5 lays the groundwork
for expanded military cooperation. That is not theory — that is strategy
in motion.
Iran’s alliances with Russia, China, and a
constellation of anti-imperial actors in the Global South has
repositioned it from isolated pariah to pivotal power. In contrast,
Israel’s reliance on American protection and European silence is growing
brittle.
This war is not just about missiles. It is about whose order defines the Middle East — and who has the courage to defy it.
For
the first time in its modern history, Israel is being hit in a way it
cannot hide. Social media is flooded with footage of Iranian missiles
striking with impunity. The “startup nation” now finds itself scrambling
to explain why its expensive defence systems failed, why its most
protected military sites were breached, and why its population is
suddenly experiencing the fear it has inflicted on others for decades.
The
strategic tide is turning. What we’re seeing is not just retaliation.
It’s the beginning of recalibration. A region exhausted by Israeli
impunity has finally seen that the Zionist regime bleeds.
And that changes everything.
