That would be a dangerous misreading of what just happened and a huge geopolitical mistake by the West and the world at large.
There must be a consequence for Iran: When the regime fired all those drones and missiles, it did not know that virtually all of them would be intercepted.
A missile could have hit al-Aqsa Mosque, one of Islam’s holiest shrines.
(You can see pictures online of Iranian rockets being intercepted in the skies right over the mosque.)
Another could have hit the Israeli Parliament or a high-rise apartment house, causing massive casualties.
