I'm countering the way you downplayed Hamas' resources. You keep doing this which leads to sloppy opinions. Especially so if you truly are aware of the resources Iran puts into their proxy wars.

The PRESENCE (not necessarily use) of additional weapons NOW is geo-political message to Iran to de-escalate, that the US will respond in some way. Iran will hear it even if you can't, we'll see what they do.

Okay genius, so what's Iran's military budget, what is Israel's, and how much value in aid is Iran providing to Hamas annually? It's more than $3.8b?
