Here are some new details and revelations about the Israeli strike in Iran:
1.The strike destroyed all of Iran’s strategic air defense capabilities. This includes all long-range surface-to-air missile batteries. Iran had two such models: the Russian S-300 and an advanced Iranian-made model. All batteries were destroyed, along with long-range detection radars. Essentially, Iran is now left only with short-range air defense batteries of local Iranian models.
2.The main damage to air defense batteries was in Tehran and western Iran. In Tehran, this means exposing and making the Iranian capital vulnerable, while in western Iran, this area is where Iran launched ballistic missile attacks on Israeli territory, providing operational efficiency for the future.
3.IDF assessment: Iran has lost its strategic air defense capabilities for the next two to three years. Russia cannot supply it with systems due to the war in Ukraine, and it will take Iran a long time to produce new systems of the Iranian model.
4.According to reports, Iran holds over 2,000 long-range ballistic missiles. The existing arsenal was not damaged—only the capability to produce new missiles (as reported, planetary mixers, etc.). This means that Iran will now operate on a limited munitions economy, as its current missile stockpile will not be able to grow in the near future (in the coming months or years).
5.Contrary to various reports, there was no damage to Iran’s drone array. (We need find out what was hit at the Shams Abad site)
6.More than 140 aircraft participated in the strike. Over 50% of the pilots and navigators involved were reservists.
7.The IDF anticipated that the Iranians might respond with an attack of 200 ballistic missiles during the strike, while the aircraft were still airborne. The Air Force was prepared with a continuity plan that would allow both defense against such an attack and the completion of all three strike waves without forfeiting any targets. Ultimately, the Iranians chose not to respond immediately. A senior security official commented: “Every moment that passes without a response indicates they are conducting damage control, thinking with their heads and not their hearts, and weighing their steps.”
8.Preparations for a potential Iranian attack: This time, the Americans are expected to play a more significant role in defense and interception, thanks to the THAAD battery stationed in Israel and three ships equipped with AEGIS defense systems capable of intercepting ballistic missiles, which were also involved in intercepting the attack in early October.

The whole mess in Israel makes me wonder if Q’s statement “Saving Israel for last” meant that the war happening there now would be the last move in the Great Awakening - the move that wakes up one of the most hard-core and faithful of the D party - Jews, who can’t be happy about what they’ve witnessed in Israel this last year. They’re second only to blacks in D support - consistently about 70% Jewish support to about 85-90% black support, historically. The scope of that comment in drop 914 may be much bigger than US voting patterns, but it could also have dual meanings.
4. Iran holds over 2,000 ballistic missiles-—none were targeted: Taking that as accurate I have to guess that the IDF just took out the missile fuel supply and its production facility. That would make them all but useless.
While I don’t know what the mix of motors/fuels might be for Iranian rockets, even any that are solid fueled would still need maintenance. Keeping large motors ready to fire is a regular work item so if the IDF took out fuel, spare parts, power supplies, etc. it might be that the Mullers won’t be shooting much of anything for quite awhile?
We hear the TV crowd squawking that the Persians have to respond to save face in the world but I’m saying their faces ain’t worth saving. And note the IDF didn’t attack, apparently, any troop concentrations, like barracks, even tho they struck in the middle of the night. I’m guessing the Israelis are happy to let the local folks wreak vengeance on the muzzie hoypaloy?
