well as far as I understand Mohsen wont support him as president any more. and honnestly I doubt guardian council approve him . let just say he is too controversialIran's former hardline president Ahmadinejad to run again
Iran's hardline former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday registered to run again in an election in June which is being seen as a test of the legitimacy of the country's clerical rulers. Vilified in the West for his questioning of the Holocaust, Ahmadinejad had to step down in 2013...www.yahoo.com
@mohsen is probably crying tears of joy right now...
That would be wise for the future. It's a strong possibility this will come to a close soon.Looks like a big hole in Iron Dome has been exposed and that is low altitude rockets.
The rockets hitting Ashkelon are fired at a lower more direct trajectory than ones fired elsewhere and it seems Iron dome has a difficult time intercepting these ones as potentially it is difficult for radar to predict landing spot and that the missile does not have enough altitude to move around as trying to attack from bottom up (it’s preferred kill method) is very difficult if the rocket is flying slightly above buildings.
If I was Quds force engineer staff, I would seek to transport or transfer technology of a simple unguided delta wing suicide drone that can travel up to 75KM with a 25kg warhead but very low altitude (less than 100 feet) after all Gaza doesn’t have any true tall buildings so once it clears Gaza whatever it hits in Israel will be considered a success.

Actually, Iron Dome is more of a Placebo; according to this analysis less than 5% of all intercepts actually manage to destroy the warhead of the targeted rocket. The reason that there are usually few Israeli casualties is simply because the Palestinian rockets are small with accordingly weak warheads and imprecise.
An Explanation of the Evidence of Weaknesses in the Iron Dome Defense System
Editor’s Note: Readerly response to a recent news story, “Israeli Rocket Defense System Failing at a Crucial Task, Expert Analysts Say,” where Ted Postol was quoted to say that Iron Dome was not effectively detonating warheads, was so negative, and angered so many people, particularly Israelis...www.technologyreview.com
