“Israel continues to prove that it can successfully escalate in deed rather than in word against the Islamic Republic. While we await the results of official and open-source battle damage assessments about the strikes against some 20 military sites across the country, the ability of Israel to conduct an hours-long campaign against these sites essentially uncontested means that the regime has an exposed soft underbelly it can’t defend, and that Israel can creatively and safely reach. Time will tell if Tehran is deterred, but regime media bragging about the success of their air defenses against a minimal Israeli strike is more likely than not a way for the regime to save face and spin a loss as a win.” — Behnam Ben Taleblu https://bird.makeup/@fdd/1850227035232190921
