the reason why it cannot be done immidiatly is because iran and Israel are not border countries.
I realize that, but I still don't think it's a good enough reason. If we heard the same thing happen to Saudi Arabian military personnel, what do you suppose the reaction would be? "Oh look at those sissies, they're useless and can't even do anything against their masters" and the rest of that vomit, right?
Supposedly this was an unprovoked attack, yes? The 7 Iranian individuals in Syria were not responsible for the gas attack, right? So why did they pay the price for it with their lives from the Israelis, nonetheless?
any attack would be between the 2 of them and iran would respond immediately and directly into Israeli soil.
It's still an attack on Iranian soldiers, an act of war and doing nothing doesn't bode well for Iran's reputation.
When your parliament was attacked, you lobbed a couple of missiles into Syria, yes? Why not show some gusto and lob a few into Israel and put your money where your mouth is?
for iran to respond immidatly now, it would invite Israel to attack the SAA and blame iran.
Nope, not true. So far they have targeted Iranian assets in Syria. I'm sorry but that reeks of a huge cope-out and excuse. So in the meantime you'll just sit there and not even protect your assets with some type of vaunted Iranian system and take the hits and have your people killed by that tiny entity that is supposedly surrounded? That doesn't look good and I'm just being honest with you.
Making excuses about others possibly paying the price while you're footprints are all over the place looks really bad. You need to up the game, get some decent defensive AND offensive weaponry and defend yourself against this tiny entity that all Iranians keep talking tough about. In the meantime that tiny entity has beat up Iranians in Syria on a regular basis without 1 single bullet fired back.
Time to quit the tough talk and put your money where your mouth is.
But this will not be unanswered. Iran or her allies will respond to this at an appropriate time,
And what will be the difference between that appropriate time and now? Nothing. Now is just as good as whenever that supposed time would be but to not do something is not a good sing. It's a sign of weakness. You can't have Israelis not only blaming you for the gas attack but also killing your people at will without any repercussions?!
At least if you're going to be involved in Syria in that capacity, put up some defensive capabilities to protect them if you're not going to fight back or retaliate. Imagine the devastation and number of Iranians killed if the Syrians didn't intercept 5 of the 7 missiles?! Ouch.
This is a complete nightmare for this tiny entity with 0 strategic depth. the nightmare of Iranian encirclement is becoming a reality, and there is nothing they can do about it beside convincing western countries to send their troops to the fire for them.
There's no Iranian encirclement. The only areas of concern are from the Golan heights and southern Lebanon.
We'll be waiting for an honorable Iranian response but I won't hold my breath. And the reason I said imagine if the 7 Israelis were killed by Iranians is because you would've seen a brutal retaliation which is exactly what you should do, but you haven't. Look at how they responded for just a silly UAV crossing their border.
