Not one, not 10, not 50 but 180 missiles continuously were fired by Iran on the night of 1 October. This is the first attack by Iran after the death of Hassan Nasrullah. It has been named Operation Tree Promise. Israel has warned of retaliation. Now if a direct war breaks out between the two countries, who will prevail over whom and who has which dangerous weapons? If we talk about Israel, then according to the Global Fire Power Index, Israel has the 17th most powerful army in the world. Israel with a population of about 91 lakh has a total number of soldiers of about 6 lakh 34000. Out of these, about 170000 are active soldiers and about four lakh 65000 are in the forces. But Israel’s defense budget is much higher than Iran’s. According to the Global Fire Power Index, while Israel’s defense budget is two lakh crore rupees, Iran’s total defense budget is 83.5000. Now let’s see which country is ahead in terms of weapons, Iran or Israel. Iran’s biggest strength is its ballistic missile. According to a report by American Intelligence, Iran has the most ballistic missiles in the entire Middle East. According to a BBC report, during the war with Iraq in the 1980s, Iran started working on missile systems, and in the next 10 years, it developed hundreds of short-range missiles. Whereas Israel’s biggest strength is air defense systems like Iron Joe David Sling Arrow 2 and Arrow 3. These shoot down long-range to short-range rockets and drones in the air. Apart from this, there are also multiple launch rocket systems, smart bombs, and top mines that can go up to a range of 25 kilometers at a speed of 17 km per hour. So the ambit of the Khabar missile is additionally 2000 and that of the High Qasim is 1400 kilometers. According to the report, Iran has just attacked Israel with a hypersonic missile, which is Fateh Tu. According to the Jerusalem Post, its speed range is around 16000 km. Its speed is 25000 kilometers per hour, while its range is about 14 kilometers.
Will the war between Iran and Israel become a world war?
If I look at the attacks that have been going on till now, Israel invades in the last stage and has to do a ground invasion. It is often said that the war of the future will always be fought in the air.
But for a decisive battle, whether we look at Russia, Ukraine or we see Israel in Gaza and now in Lebanon, this is visible. But the current war that is going on right now and Iran firing 181 ballistic missiles in it, even though Iran is claiming that it was not targeting civilian areas, but the entire missile trail that Israel has released through napping, whether it includes civilian areas or military headquarters, what kind of capability do they and Israel have due to which Iran has to be very alert at this time is an important factor. If you want to plan a ground attack at this time, it is almost impossible. The possibility of a ground attack for about 3 to 4 days is absolutely zero. Now you will have to launch only more assets and resources. Going into that distance, as far as the target that Israel decides depends on what its after-effects are and how the entire operation will be stopped in the future. Look, this is not a sentimental decision. If we decide emotionally that we have to respond in 48 hours, it will become very difficult. If it is such a matter, then the results may not be what a commander wants. What is important is the resources available and on which target we have to send it because this is a one-shot. You will not get the opportunity to retake it because the thing has become so complex that it is under outer control and if you take this wrong step then the decisions will be different. Therefore, it will take time. I don’t think in 24 hours, but it is going on in a social network that tonight, Israel can target its targets in the Middle East. We will have to see how much truth is there in these things. But the way things are moving forward, the Ground Forces 98 Division is moving very fast in Southern Lab and they targeted the militants from their storage and hit some of them face to face. If that is happening, then that is going on, along with Hamas, the people of Hamas are also being attacked, so it is not that Israel is sitting idle, but it would not be appropriate to plan an attack without planning and after the attack, the land forces will go and control it. As we saw in the war between Ukraine and Russia in Ukraine, the attack did take place but it is very difficult to sustain it at a distance. It will have to be seen after the attack, how will Israel maintain its potential increase. Keep in mind that this time the whole world is watching this, the G7 meeting is going on and at this time the oil prices, which are being heard right now, have fallen to $50. So a lot of things are changing, changing very fast. It will have to be seen what factors play what role and what is their result. That will be decided by the Jio Ports of the region. The way we are looking at Israel right now, General Dua told Antonio Guterres directly that you should come to Israel. We will not let anyone who does not understand our interests come to us. In such a situation when the Prime Minister calls from India saying that peace is the best path, we have understood that Israel does not want to listen to these things and it is obvious that when it started on 7 October last year, after that its wish was fulfilled that we will bring back all the hostels, till then this fight of ours will continue, it will continue till Hamas is in control, but by the time it reached here where not through its proxies but Iran itself has entered the war, how big and how dangerous can Israel’s counterattack be, it is about to be a year and when it started on 7 October last year, around 180 Israelis were killed and then Israel decided that we will not stop until we finish this, after that there they were running outside in Gaza, when they started attacking them by calling them through notes, they opened another front, then they opened this way and as you rightly said that now Iran has directly entered on its own, on one side Hamas has entered on its own apart from Hezbollah’s proxies, now This scenario has now moved beyond the escalatory level, but we are saying that we are all discussing when will your next meeting happen? Will Israel respond to this? Start when you start, if the war starts, the day you are planning for them. We are also discussing their planning, contingencies planning, and planning for every contingency that has been done. Israel is a big professional corporation, whether it is intelligence or military, and if this happens then what will we do, when will we do it? So, according to my understanding, their preparations for their response are complete at this time, in my opinion, those who announced that they would do it at the time, and choosing, there must be discussions going on on many channels with America, after all, like You gave your breaking news about G7 but especially from America and the entire West but America makes a lot of difference that they are supporting them to this extent because it is also important for Israel that how much support they will get from the West and from that side and certainly they will not believe this until they can respond to it. Now what will be their response and when will it be? I agree with General Shankar. I don’t think that they will wait for the symbolism. It is a coincidence that that date is coming after 5 days but they were doing it earlier and now they have gone 30-40 kilometers inside the ground. They will respond to Iran. So according to their planning, it will be done according to the planning done earlier. In the attacks that are going on till now, Israel invades in the last stage and it has to do ground invasion.
What is Lebanon’s connection with the idea of ’as much as the population, so many rights’, and what can the world learn from Lebanon?
98 years ago, in 1926, when Lebanon’s constitution came into force, a new idea was adopted in it which is called Confessionalism and at that time, under this idea, Muslims and Christians were given equal rights in politics i.e. 50-50%. But during the Second World War, when Lebanon became independent in 1943, a new treaty was signed there which was called the National Treaty. This system was divided into six ratio five, which means that if there is space for 11 members in the Parliament, then 6 members will be Christians and 5 will be Muslims. Based on the census, an attempt was made to give rights to Christians and Muslims according to their population. Under this, 53% of Christians in Lebanon were Christians and 42% were Muslims, and among these 42% were Muslims, 22% were Sunni Muslims and 19% were Shia Muslims according to this, all the important posts were divided according to the religious population in Lebanon. When people were given rights, everyone called it a historic step but later due to this formula, the society of Lebanon was torn apart and the Christian people started feeling that the Muslims were taking away their rights this created unrest in Lebanon a civil war broke out there which lasted from 1975 to 1989 and during this time thousands of people were killed in Lebanon and during the civil war, Christians became a minority in Christian-dominated Lebanon and Muslims became the majority. Today there are about 69% Muslims there, 69% of them are Muslims and only 30% are children that is why from the example of Lebanon, the leaders of India can learn today that by giving rights according to the population, society can break into many castes and classes, as has happened in Lebanon, think about it, there are many castes in India, China, Britain, France and because of this, how dangerous this idea can be for the world, you can guess today.
Learn the history of Middle East turmoil! In this video, we will explain how the Sykes-Picot Agreement and the intervention of Western countries gave rise to conflicts in this region.
Today’s Middle East is caught in terrorism and conflict. Why do these countries, famous for their rich culture and natural resources, keep getting caught in mutual conflicts? Let us accept why the Middle East has been called from the point of appearance of European countries. It was named Middle. It is in the middle of the map and east because it is east of America and Britain. Hence, it was named the Middle East. Today, what we call the Middle East, from the 13th to the 19th century, the countries of the Middle East were part of the Islamic State. Let us understand the two main reasons behind today’s conflicts. The first reason is the Cities Record Agreement which ended with the First World War. Britain’s diplomat Mark Size and France’s diplomat Jobs took a pencil and drew a line on the map between Haifa, i.e. today’s Israel and today’s Iraq. Before this agreement, countries like Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia existed as independent countries. did not exist Under this agreement between Britain and France, Britain had a claim on the countries falling below this line and France had a claim on the countries falling above the line. The biggest problem with this agreement was that this line was drawn without considering the difference between religions and colors. For example, in Iraq, Russia, Sunni, and Sunni, all three communities were merged into one country that had never lived together before. This led to conflict. In 2003, when America attacked Iraq and removed Saddam Hussein, a civil war broke out between these communities. Similar conflicts were apparent in added countries of the Middle East as well. Shias accept that afterward Prophet Mohammad, his son-in-law Ali should accept being the baton of Islam, admitting Sunnis accept that Abu Bakr should accept being called as the baton forth with the Prophet. This battle between Shias and Sunnis became the understanding for the battle between Iran and Saudi. The civilian war in Syria is the additional archetype of this conflict. In addition, acumen for agitation in the Middle East is the arrest of Western countries. Western countries accept consistently being an agency in the Middle East. The role of Western countries was also seen in the civil war that started in Syria in 2011, where when people started protesting against Bashar al-Assad, the US and other Western countries supported the rebels by giving them arms and aid. Another example of this interference is the 1953 coup in Iran when the US and Iran played a role in removing Prime Minister Mohammad Masood Bey. From parts of Lebanon to Iran, the war between Israel and Hamas, which started on October 7 last year, has involved many countries, from these parts to the Middle East. Due to these reasons, the Middle East has now become the most turbulent region in the world.
Before and after the Second World War, Britain and France gave up their control over many countries in the Middle East, which gave them independence. But a promise made by Britain in 1947 fuelled a never-ending war in the Middle East.
The year 1948 was a year of major events. Palestine gained independence from Britain on May 15 this year. But just a day before this, on 15 May 1948, Jewish leader David Ben-Guri declared a separate Jewish nation, which was named Israel. But a day afterward the accumulation of Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq attacked This was the first Arab-Israeli conflict. The conflict between the Arab and Israeli armies continued for almost a year. Finally, a ceasefire was announced in 1949 and a temporary border was formed between Israel and Palestine, which was called the ‘Green Line’. Before the truce was announced, Jordan had occupied the West Bank, which also included a part of East Jerusalem. Whereas, Egypt had occupied the Gaza Strip. The West Bank falls in the eastern area of Jerusalem and Jordan. Both Palestine and Israel call it their capital. Gaza Strip has a more than 50-kilometer-long border with Israel Israel active the Gaza Strip in the 1967 war. But gave up its affirmation in 2005.
detailed comparison between Israel and Iran in terms of military strength, as requested, with key factors like population, active personnel, air force capabilities, and nuclear power included.

| Total Aircraft | 612 reserve, 490 active aircraft | 551 reserve, 358 active aircraft |
| Fighter Jets | 241 total (193 always ready for attack) | 186 total (121 always ready for attack) |
| Naval Strength | 67 naval assets, including submarines | 398 naval assets |
| Missile Systems | Advanced missile defense systems (David’s Sling, Iron Dome, Arrow 2 & 3) | Focused on ballistic missiles and drone development |
| Air Defense System | Multi-layered defense with Iron Dome (90% interception rate) | Basic air defense, no equivalent to Iron Dome |
| Nuclear Weapons | Estimated 30-50 nuclear warheads | No confirmed nuclear weapons, active nuclear development program |
| Allegiance/Alliances | Strong alliance with the U.S. and Western countries | Backed by Russia, China, and allied militias (e.g., Hezbollah) |
| Cyber Warfare Capabilities | Advanced cyber capabilities (offensive and defensive) | Significant but not as advanced as Israel’s |
Key Takeaways:
- Military Personnel: Iran has significantly more active military personnel (610,000 vs. 169,500), but Israel compensates with advanced technology and well-trained forces.
- Air Force Superiority: Israel has more fighter jets (241 vs. 186) and a more advanced, upgraded air force, widely regarded as the most powerful in the Middle East.
- Missile and Air Defense: Israel’s Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow missile defense systems provide a multi-layered shield that can intercept most types of missiles and rockets. Iran, however, has focused on developing ballistic missiles and drones but lacks an equivalent defense system.
- Nuclear Power: Israel’s unconfirmed nuclear capability (30-50 warheads) gives it a strategic edge, potentially acting as a deterrent against large-scale war with Iran.
- Cyber Capabilities: Israel is known for its advanced cyber warfare capabilities, which could play a critical role in a modern conflict by targeting infrastructure and military systems.
- Global Alliances: Israel’s strong alliance with the U.S. and NATO members gives it additional military and diplomatic support, whereas Iran relies on Russia, China, and proxy groups like Hezbollah.
Conclusion:
While Iran has larger numbers in terms of personnel and certain assets like tanks and artillery, Israel’s technological superiority, modern defense systems, and potential nuclear capabilities give it a significant edge in a direct conflict. Additionally, Israel’s air force, considered one of the best in the world, would be a decisive factor in any large-scale war. However, the outcome of such a conflict would heavily depend on geopolitical factors, including the involvement of allies like the U.S. for Israel and Russia or China for Iran.
America has warned Israel not to attack any nuclear base of Iran. Otherwise, the entire Middle East will be burnt in the fire of war. There are a total of 9 such nuclear bases in Iran, which Israel can destroy by attacking them. Let us tell you about those 9 atomic bases.
There are such nuclear bases that Israel can destroy by attacking. Let us tell you about those nuclear bases. The first nuclear base is Netz. Netz is present in this great state about 300 km south of Iran’s capital Tehran. Netz is Iran’s largest nuclear center for purifying uranium. This nuclear center has been built in underground mines. Attempts have been made to target this nuclear base earlier as well. The second nuclear base is Ford. It is a mountainous area. It is said that Iran has built its nuclear base by cutting the mountain there so that this base does not suffer any damage due to Israeli bombing. The third nuclear base is Ford. This is the additional better burghal in Iran afterward Tehran Iran also has a nuclear base on the outskirts of this city where apart from purifying uranium, there is a machine to make uranium metal which is used to make the core of the nuclear bomb. The fourth nuclear base is Ford. Iran also has a small water research reactor. Which was earlier called Iraq, now it is known as Iran. Water reactors are used for nuclear proliferation. It also produces plutonium which can be used to make the core of the nuclear bomb. The fifth nuclear base is the Tehran Research Center, which also has a research reactor. However, Iran itself has been saying about the center that work related to nuclear medicine is done there for the treatment of diseases like cancer. Uranium is also used in this center. The Uranium nuclear base is Bushehr. Iran’s only nuclear power plant located on the Gulf Coast is used to generate electricity. This plant is run only with nuclear help and nuclear fuel. The seventh nuclear base is Karzan. According to Iran, this center is used for agriculture and medicine and it is a kind of research center. Still, according to experts, this place is also used for the production of centrifuges to purify uranium. It is considered possible. The eighth nuclear base is Raganda. Rajhand is that area of Iran where uranium mines are said to be present. In 2013, Iran started extracting low-quality uranium from here. However, according to experts, it can be converted into pure uranium by purifying it. It is the new nuclear base in China. It is a military base of Iran where common weapons and missiles are tested. However, it has also been suspected that Iran has also tested explosive triggers used in ancient nuclear weapons. So, these were those 9 nuclear sites of Iran that Israel could try to destroy by attacking them, and for this, America has halved it and warned it.
