Iran's attack was strictly performative and simply used to save face

They needed to do "something" but this is their path to say "ok we're done if you're done let's talk now"

Hearing they tipped of Qatar and a secondary heads up through the Swiss, same as they did to Al Asad back in the day.

It's doesn't work towards saving face when it's announced.

They told everyone in the Region 6 hrs ago what was happening. They even told NATO and the Trump Administration. Then the dramatic pronouncement that they defeated the Great Satan. That came from Al Jazeera in Qatar.

They launched against the only "friend" they have in the region for this reason.

Agreed. Although I suspect it's a farce even internally.

I hope you are right but how do we contain Israel? They are the instigator in all this.

They even told them they would launch 6 missiles matching the B2 attack and they told them they selected the Deid because it is relatively located away from population areas.

Yup, that's exactly what's going on. Myself and others been predicting this since nuke lab strike.
Iran is fricked, big time. They keep losing launchers almost every time they send missiles. First waves of missiles when Israel attacked was about 200-300/day. Now it's about 20-30/day.
If Israel and Iran keep it up, Iran will be demiliterized in a month or so. No navy, no air force, launchers and missiles al that remain, and going fast. They fricked.

America's attack was strictly performative and simply used to save face.

Classic honor/shame society. This is a key to understanding many cultures today. They have been around for thousands of years, and described in the Bible.
The pharisees and scribes tried to shame/humiliate Jesus which would have added to their honor/renown if they succeeded.

If this is the case I can see an eventual end to all this. I hope it's true.

I don’t understand the “saving face” part. Who are they trying to convince they “fought back”? I guess it’s just for state run propaganda, but then again, if you’re going to lie outright, why even send a few missles?

Had to test the bunker busters somewhere.
