"the Israelis proved they could penetrate the Syrian air defence system, which is stronger than the one protecting Iranian nuclear sites."

The Rooskies have a deal to sell about 50 new anti-aircraft systems to Syria. Iran has a deal to get 10 of those from Syria.

In any event, if the Syrians have any of them operable, I guess Iran has just learned what their value is.

They're all operational. And they're worth bupkes, apparently.

I don't doubt that the Israelis will be more than happy to recommend the new Russian anti-aircraft systems to the Iranian government. "Please buy these, they're the cutest little things we've ever seen.":)
