re: Mass Casualty event declared in Tel Aviv. Looks like multiple large buildings destroyed
Posted by Pettifogger on 6/14/25 at 9:04 pm
Imagine what the same number of ballistic missiles (overwhelming majority of which would get through) would do to dense Tehran. The dramatic scenes circulating online from Tel Aviv are from what, a couple of dozen strikes at most?
Hard to comprehend what hundreds of successful impacts would look like in a dense urban area.

If Israel starts doing to Tehran what Tehran is attempting to do to Tel Aviv...
We'd see unprecedented destruction of a fairly-modern city in the modern age.

I think the perception would change if Israel lobbed 3-400 ballistic missiles into dense parts of Tehran

Probably and it’s highly effective at that.
But it’s reasonably effective on ballistic missiles it would appear, as well

Can we stop pretending that the missile defense of Israel is working at all? Who really thinks its going to stop every single incoming missile?
These Iron Dome takes are like hurricane threads where the models miss by 15 miles 4 days out. Amazing tech nobody else has implemented at this level saves thousands of lives and works well over half the time and people say it’s “not working at all.”

Go with local non-commercial roasters. If you’re in BR, French Truck or Rêve are great options
This is the answer, any decent local roaster, fresh beans (within 10-14 days), grind daily.
Even light roasts will be flavorful and have way more depth than any mass produced roaster.

I mean downtown tel aviv is getting hammered by ballistic missiles. Are you arguing it is working as anticipated
What on earth?
We’ve watched it successfully fend off massive rocket attacks for years with very minimal damage. Even now the hit rate is way less than 10%.
If Israel did to Tehran what Iran has attempted on Tel Aviv, there would be thousands dead.

So your claiming this video posted in Tehran right now is fake? Some of you clowns love to look like retards. You do know whenever you can't dispute visual evidence and start to attack the Twitter account you already lost the argument right?
I have no idea whether it's real or not, and neither do you
The account you're posting has posted multiple fake things today, which you don't care about because you're a shill (a bizarre random one).
But I'm not making grand determinations about Tehran air defense based on a known iffy account with 4 clips, particularly when Israeli aircraft were over Tehran unmolested in daylight all day.

Ok, walk me through it
You claim an ongoing genocide of a people group that is expanding in population, not declining. You make an appeal to an unreliable authority.
I mention the bias of said authority, you claim this is mental gymnastics.
We're back to your allegation of genocide, which has a definition, and which isn't met.

Iran doesn't have control over the skies of Tehran, it's not doing shite with regard to the Strait for very long.

I thought it was common knowledge that Iran would use a nuke on Israel the second it had one.
It wasn't because they wouldn't.
Everything Iran does is about holding on to the regime as long as possible and that would end immediately upon any catastrophic strike on Israel or the US, nuclear or otherwise.

On one hand, sure, a successful test would freak out the western world in Israel in historic fashion and likely lead to to either mass outbreak of war or quick rethinking by the US/Israel on next moves.
But, on the other hand, if Iran had the capability for that and had a delivery system, I don't necessarily think they'd use it on Israel right now but I also doubt they'd spend 24 hours getting their arse handed to them (including the complete dismantling of their nuclear facilities) before serving the world notice of it.

I agree generally, but I don't find it that compelling in this instance.
Israel launched a massive preemptive strike on a country that is trying to gain leverage for its own offensive/defensive purposes with a large percentage of the world opposed to its regime.
Israel killed leadership and left the country, arguably, in organizational disarray. Objectively, I'm not sitting around going "oh well Iran should proportionally respond and only target military installations" when the nuclear program probably just got destroyed, leadership was killed and Israel is calling for regime change.
To be clear, I support Israel vs. the Iranian regime, but I just think these discussions of targeting and proportionality with Israel are often somewhat thin. For different reasons, the same is true with Hamas (Hamas is cowardly, but they also don't really have the ability to meaningfully pose a threat through targeted strikes - lobbing rockets is all they've got).
