  1. They lobbed a load of ballistic missiles at Israel but they “do not seek war”?

    How’s that work then and will it stand up in court?

    “Yes m’lud, the defendant did shoot at the victim and only failed to hit because he can’t shoot for toffee….but he didn’t seek murder.”

  2. Both this and the Israeli strike it responds to seem to be clear signs of de-escalation, at least in the realm of direct action between the two countries.

    Whether this will extend to Iran’s proxies remains to be seen, but it’s certainly a hopeful turn of events despite all the horror happening in Gaza and Lebanon.
