This misses Iranian strategic considerations. They might be holding back because too much damage to Israel might be seen as increasing the risk of US intervention. Hence not attempting to overwhelm arrow/sling/Iron dome too much. They could also be holding back for a potential US intervention.

Liquid fueled rockets with long set up time are not ideal if the enemy has air supremacy.

The Russians have so far mostly stayed away from directly targeting nuclear sites. I don't think the Chernobyl hit was intentional. However I seem to remember something about a research reactor or something in Kharkiv being hit. This one: apnews.com/article/ukra...

IIRC that's the one that's close to the hospital.

Russia wins more by Israel expending US assets that could be used by Ukraine on Iran.

I find it very strange that they don't seem to have used drones against Israel. At the very least they could tie up Israeli fixed winged assets in stopping or degrading their numbers.

Likely Au has contracts with the ones who enrich and produce fuel. An end user would not buy from Australia, they would buy from a fuel manufacturer in Sweden, France etc. They again would purchase uranium from an enricher. The Enricher would buy from Australia etc.

European dependance on Russian Uranium is small, and decreasing as contracts end. No big deal. Oil and gas is the problem.

No, You didn't. Withdrawing from the NPT means it would have the same status as Israel.

I believe Iran can handle a lot more suffering than Israel. A lot of Israelis have second pass ports, so they can leave if things become too painful. And Iran suffered through the Iran-Iraq war.

I'm surprised Israel is so unpopular in Germany, I thought being pro-Palestine was more taboo there because of Germany's history

I seem to remember the Israeli classification system includes people in shock as injured as well, which is not something so often seen in other places. Hence the high number of injured compared to what one might expect from the death toll. Ps. Shock should also be treated.

The Houthies have been continuously firing missiles against Israel. Nothing has changed here.

They made a deal to stop attacking shipping. Not to stop attacking Israel.

They concluded this deal in 2015 already. Someone tore it up.

They did that already in 2015.
