A walk in the park?

Take him to whiz on some missile debris.
Iran's ambition greatly exceeds their capabilities.

@bachophile said in The Exploding Pagers:
Official tally. 181 missiles. Almost all intercepted. No injuries.
Iran did it just for internal consumption then?

From what I gather, these were a significantly higher level of threat than before, and no missile attack should ever be excused away because it was unsuccessful.

By the way, do we know what the official name of the pager operation was? I vote for Operation: Reach Out & Touch Someone…

If the attack is "just for show", then the retaliation may also be likewise. Each "look good" domestically, but World War III is avoided anyway.

Operation Grim Beeper is my favorite.

LOL, I hadn’t heard that.

No, the U.S. Navy didn't intercept a bunch of missiles, but they did get a few.
Notice which destroyers engaged...

But wait? I thought the US had no troops in an active war zone?

I don't see any evidence that Israel does for show operations. I don't think it will be anything as crude as lobbing missiles, but much more targeted.

Correction. One casualty. A Palestinian in the West Bank.
