JNS) – The White House was shocked at the scale of the Iranian missile and drone attack against Israel on the night of April 13, according to a Sunday report in The Wall Street Journal detailing how the Biden administration handled the unprecedented event.
According to the article, President Joe Biden cut short his vacation at Rehoboth Beach, Del., and rushed back to Washington the evening before the attack where he was briefed on Tehran’s plans.
Even with advanced warning of the attack, administration officials told the Journal that the senior officials gathered in the White House Situation Room were horrified at the hundreds of projectiles launched from Iranian soil and by Tehran’s terrorist proxies hurtling towards the Jewish state.

” Western weapons like the Patriot, IRIS-T, or even the old Gepards seem to outperform their specs. “
That’s great.
The problem is Patriot production of interceptor missiles is 550 PER YEAR !
Doesn’t matter how great they are once they are all used up.
“Iran said it cost them only $35 billion.”
That can’t be right.
I don’t believe they actually have an Iranian bomb today although it wouldn’t take long with what they do have. They do have a Pakistani guarantee of one if attacked by an Israeli nuclear device. Btw, the Iranians were having meetings in Islamabad last week. Next to the Russians, Iran’s best ally is North Korea. What happens to Israel when Iran destroys the Dimona installation? I hope Netanyahu doesn’t forget what happened to Samson when he invoked the first “Samson Option”.
You are very perceptive. There is now a MAD deterrence between Iran and Israel.

Israel and Iran could face off with mutual assured destruction if both have nukes.
No one wants a doomsday gap or a mineshaft gap.

Typical of you, Hardspunned - and given your insistent antisemitism, and not unexpected.
You have zero credibility with any military subject.
Whatcha talkin' about, Willis?
In the era of RAMPAGE and CHAMP missiles, all bets are off.
This is an obvious admission that America’s ‘intelligence’ community is either hamstrung, or retarded. Iran is ruled by a very dangerous regime. What they will do, or use to destroy Israel is obvious... Everything they can.
So the question is... Will America stand by and let Iran destroy Israel? Giving money to Iran was, is and always will be dumb*ss mistake. As for America’s ‘intelligence’ community... They’ve had 44 years to overthrow a despot regime run by Ayatollah’s... They have either failed to do so because of incompetence, or they have failed to so because they have been compromised. My guess is the later and the CIA, NSA and all the other ‘A’s’ are now working for the United Nations, and not America.
Sleepy Joe: “Wow! I never realized how many missile drones Iran could buy with the billions I sent them.
Yea it was a tester.
and any day now the rest of the middle east will jump in.
Not one right one single time in two years of conflict.
The Mullahs won't live forever. The "Old Guard" will be replaced by Moderates. Then you'll see Iran become less belligerent.
Throw away drones!!
and Russian fly by wire drones are state of art along with the 8 track player.
Legendary futility at work.
35 billion that’s OK Joe Biden said he’d be glad to send another 500 billion to Iran in cash loaded on skids.

“Iran said it cost them only $35 billion.”
That can’t be right.

They live in a totalitarian nation.
Similar to the dog in the cage.
Also, why hardly anything ever hails to advance mankind from dogs locked in cages.
Imagination in the free world is vast.
It’s self-evident in the replies completely disconnected from reality.
” Also, why hardly anything ever hails to advance mankind from dogs locked in cages. “
People trapped in ideological straitjackets where “freedom” = scientific achievement, are going to get blown away by the people working on real world production.
Iran lead the world in low cost drones, and volume production.
Meanwhile:
The principles of science and engineering are indifferent to the ideology of the government.
And the people working on real world problems will always defeat those who spend their time telling how their ideology and philosophy is superior.
Trump SUPPORTS eviscerating our children’s economic future? This all is making me sick. Is there a point to this election? Heads they win. Tails we lose.
Someone educate me, please!
Biden cut short his vacation at Rehoboth Beach.
He must not have super secret phone line at his home to give Iran a heads up call?.
Once again with the “hypersonics”: the Iranians don’t have anything hypersonic and your weird fever dreams of a ravaged Israel mark you as a small-minded bigot with delusions of adequacy.
Absolutely zero military experience, as is obvious, mullah supporter.
The Democrat party, under Barak Obamugabe and Pedo Pete Xiden, sent BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to Iran.
They weren’t surprised by Iran’s drone attack—they funded it.
