Although Israel compromised the silos, it only destroyed part of Iran’s missile arsenal because these are spread across what they call the “city of missiles,” which is numerous throughout the country.
There is no doubt that Israel has reduced Iran’s military capacity and delayed its program.
But was the cost worth it when Iran was already negotiating with Trump?
Militarily, one year is very little, and Israel’s military deficit is already quite high.
Will the Americans cover this?
Israel is now intercepting far fewer Iranian missiles, which are still launched daily—tens per day—though not as many as in the early days, but the number remains significant.
There is no such thing as a military operation against a large country, and the Russians have learned this, just as the Israelis are learning. Against large countries, any operation becomes a war!
