The planes (interceptors) are the least of the problem. Modern Russian-built SAMs would be the first line of defense unless the Iranian’s could mount an effective around-the-clock AWACs patrol. Otherwise the attacker would be in-and-out before the Iranians got off the ground.

What AWACS? They lost their only A-50 mainstay back in 2010.
