The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says the Iranians are “deeply embarrassed” at “how incompetent” their strike against Israel was.

There are growing calls for restraint as the world reacts to Iran’s aerial bombardment of Israel.

It is Tehran’s first-ever direct attack on its neighbour.

Israel says more than 300 missiles and drones were fired by Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen, but most were intercepted before entering Israeli airspace.

“I think it [Iran] wanted to hit some Israeli targets,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.

“I think they fired more than 100 ballistic missiles.

“I think the Iranians are deeply embarrassed at how incompetent their strike was.”

  • That's A Worry if they are embarrassed. They could get really angry. Albanese is a BAD JOKE. he's the most pathetic PM. Look at the Violence happening thanks To Him and Police ALLOWING it.

    If we were invaded, Albo and Wong would be there to welcome them and would even organise a “welcome to country”.
  • @patriot388
    Albo-tross is the weakest PM we have ever had! 🙄
  • @jimheimerl1637
    Mean tweets, cheap gas, and peace in the middle east. You know who can bring that back.
  • @kazdean
    Albo and Wong should shut their mouths and stop embarrassing this country, We went to war and invaded two countries for less provocation than Israel has dealt with,
  • Israel fired one missile to kill the terrorists in the embassy. Iran's proportionate response was 300 missiles including ballistic missiles. Is this a fair response? (300:1) Does this mean that Israel can now fire 90000 rockets as a fair response?
  • @day1678
    Prime Minister, if Australia was attacked by an enemy, would you still be advocating for caution? - really!

    After engaging in years of combat in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, Americans woke-up to find these medieval fanatics have moved several thousand miles and live in our neighborhoods. It's worse than the movie, What About Bob! Thank you, Barack.

    213 missiles and drones, and all they managed to hit is an arab kid.
  • Why do have people have to qualify positive statements about Trump, we wouldn’t have been in this situation if he had been in charge
  • @ytn00b3
    Iranian made drones and missiles have Chinese parts in it. There goes the quality.
  • Excuse me, but Iran did not call Israeli citizens prior to the Launch of their weapons or inform them when they would arrive. There certainly was no letter drop or roof knockers within the ballistic missiles.
  • How would we react? We'd be mostly dead as we have NO WAY TO DEFEND FROM ANY TYPE OF ATTACK. Our Military is underfunded, underresourced, and undermanned.

    it is like in the jungle a lion slowly gets annoyed at monkeys throwing excrement at it. results to follow if it continues.
