Yes it was easy due to the fact that it took four-nation airforce to shoot down ordinary subsonic ballistic missile from old Shabab missile with little upgrade even Malawi military will do better. Despite the fact they were given notice to prepare for a week, Iran intended target was hit accurately by the Ghadr-110 missile which is an upgrade of Shabab family.

Note: Iran did not use it more modern missiles in this attack, and the so called 500 missile is a fluke that being paraded by Western media with no proof, more reason why they claimed 50% failed before takeoff.

The Iranian Embassy in Italy warns the G7 against making any unconstructive decisions regarding Iran and Israel's subsequent steps.

According to Iranian diplomats, the consent of Western countries to the adventures of the “Israeli entity” will lead to a further escalation of the conflict in the region and the world.

⚡The US House of Representatives released three separate bills to help Israel, Ukraine and allies in the Indo-Pacific region.

Speaker Johnson proposes:

— $61 billion in aid to Ukraine
— $26 billion for Israel
— $8 billion for Indo-Pacific
— Totalling $95 billion

The world needs to get off the us dollars.
It is the number 1 reason the US has been able to sustain wars all round the world.

⚡Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson declared that when Russia succeeds in achieving its goals in its special military operation the “hegemony of the West” will end.

"If Ukraine falls it will be a disaster for the West. This will put an end to the hegemony of the West. And we will have no one to blame but ourselves," Johnson bluntly stated.

🇮🇱🇵🇸❗️The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has deployed additional artillery and armored personnel carriers on the outskirts of the Gaza Strip, Maariv reports.

According to him, these preparations may indicate immediate preparation for a ground offensive on Rafah. The newspaper notes that the military has been put on combat readiness, and the main parameters of the operation in Rafah have been agreed upon by the IDF General Staff and Defense Minister Yoav Galant.

There has not yet been official confirmation from the Israeli military leadership.

Iron dome is an overhyped toy. Quote me anywhere.

Iron dome is not over hyped rather a simple technology that we apply in our day to day activities.

See my attached picture below.
In marine, the subject is called rendezvous sailing/navigation.
It is also applicable in aviation which isreal modified to missiles technology.
It is very simple.
I will try and break it down as simple as possible.
Let's paint a scenario where armed robbers raided mowe/ibafo and started driving to Ogere, signals were sent to police at sagamu to intercept the escaping robbers at sagamu interchange/round about.
Knowing the car speed of the armed robbers from mowe and a known direction (unchanged straight forward direction makes it easier to meet likewise missiles), the police in sagamu can use the information to know how much speed they need to use to meet the armed robbers at interchange.
In other words, colliding or neutralizing a missile.
If mowe to interchange is 50km and robbers are driving at 25km/hour, it will take them 2 hours to get to interchange provided all other factors like traffic, car breakdown are zero.
If sagamu to interchange is 25km, then the police car has to drive for just 12.5km/h to get there in 2 hours to meet the armed robbers.
Same principle for missiles.
We all know many Iran's missiles specifications, speed per hour and total distance covered.
So when Iran shots, immediately it gets to isreal's long range rather, they click on it using arpa/radar to determine the speed and direction, which inturn gives possible landing area and time to explosion area, using this information, they shot a counter missile to meet it at a rendezvous point and blow it up.
In navigation, it can be speed, time and direction needed for navy boat at Epe to intercept a bunkering boat coming from takes bay going to warri.
It can be speed, direction and time for navy to intercept a cocaine laden vessel.
It can be anything
From my picture below, Iran shoots a missile from a point T, isreal counters the missile firing from point O to intercept at point R

"On April 17, at about 23:00 Moscow time [08:00 pm GMT], the Kiev regime's attempt to carry out a terrorist attack using an RM-70 Vampire multiple launch rocket system against targets on Russian territory was foiled. Fourteen missiles were destroyed over the Belgorod Region by the air defense forces on duty," the ministry said in a statement.

No injuries were reported per preliminary information, according to Belgorod Region Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov.

They world leaders starching their money in USD won't have a choice than to start using it to buy gold to store when the decline start happening.
The rise of Brics payment is to check mate the dollar excesses, so far the Americans have been doing a good job to keep the dollar afloat, but it is just a matter of time before the scam comes to open.
The only solution is to neutralize the source of threat to the American empire which is Russia and China.

He is right, and everyone knows it; that is why they are begging China to pressure Russia. Thankfully, the Chinese are not that stoopid. After Russia is dealt with, China would be next. Na true Pansophist talk, this century would see lots of changes. A multipolar world is here. Hopefully, Southeast Asian countries won't succumb to fighting themselves or fighting for any world power.

⚡Private military companies from the US and Canada can be contracted to pilot F-16s in Ukraine, French aviation expert Cyrille de Lattre told Sputnik.

"There is a possibility to attract trained pilots. In fact, there are two private companies in the world: the Canadian Top Aces and the American Draken International - military companies that already have 100 percent trained pilots for F-16s... In the worst-case scenario, these two private military companies can be contracted to operate these aircraft in Ukraine."

According to the analyst, there are many problems with the training of Ukrainian pilots who, among other issues, have a poor command of English. The only thing they have been able to do is to fly F-16s from base to base in Europe while military operations are not carried out by Ukrainian pilots, de Lattre stressed.

Boris's tears are yet to begin.

Western hegemony ended in 1949, when the CPC won the western-backed KMTgovernment, and the new China was born. It was just only a matter of time, before China grew, and inevitably challenged, and buried Western hegemony once and for all.

Western hegemony is antihuman, unnatural, and imposed. It can only sustain itself by suppressing other countries, and can not thrive without unfair and manipulative acts. It can only exist when there is no other strong power.

There was this story in the bible when King Herold searched the whole country to kill newborn baby Jesus because even at the height of his reign, he knew intimately well that Jesus would grow and be the true king. A baby already threatened him and did everything possible to kill him, but Mary fled to Egypt with Jesus.

Most people think that the sanctions imposed on Russia are huge, and I always tell them to compare it to the sanctions China faced when she was newly born. The West, especially the US did everything possible to kill it.

If not for the USSR which stood steadfast behind China and gave it a nuclear umbrella, China would have been destroyed long ago and nuked to pieces like Japan Hiroshima.

Boris talks about Western hegemony, but the international community does not want it. No country wants an order that was forced down their throat without their consent.

That is unfair by its very nature, imperialistic, exceptional, warmongering, moral decadent, imposing, and all the evils that come with it. Such order should go. It is evil and anti-human by its very nature.

Like everything in life, the exponential effect will take place. Just as Covid spread like wildfire, hence the total lockdown even in a few minor cases, the fall of Western hegemony will be the same. It will fall like a structure exploded from its foundations, and its end would be exponential.

The UK, Spain, and Portugal for example are all empires just less than a century ago, but look at them now, the UK is rated as the worst place to live. The same will happen to this evil hegemony, its fall would be exponential.

It is only a matter of time, and as quickly as 2030, the cracks will be wide open. UN itself is an accessory to it because it's silent on the brutality of Gaza, but a barking dog to Russia, even if Russia does not hurt civilians like Israel.
