Iran Attacks Israel – What Will History Say?

Iran Attacks Israel – What Will History Say?

Much of the art of politics is fitting a narrative that suits your purposes to recent events. A big event like the 300 or more missiles that Iran rained down on Israel spawns a number of them. Israel wants to be both the victim and the victor – earning the right to retaliate and to brag at its effectiveness in neutralising the attack. Iran points to its relative restraint and seeks to play the role of a patient but exasperated teacher coping with a badly behaved pupil. Both sound quite plausible stories based on the events of the weekend.
