Israel demonstrated its military superiority over Iran through extensive air raids, despite lacking any surprise advantage. Last year, Israel moderated its military responses to avoid escalating tensions with Tehran, but recent actions indicate a more aggressive stance. The Israeli government reported that dozens of fighter jets participated in an operation targeting Iran’s primary uranium enrichment facility, ballistic missile sites, and key military officials. The Mossad intelligence agency also carried out sabotage missions against Iranian air defense systems.
Details from Iranian state media revealed that senior military leaders and nuclear scientists were killed, including the commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps. Israel has shown a remarkable ability to operate within Iran, conducting targeted assassinations and bombing critical air defense systems without suffering significant losses.
Past Israeli strikes have successfully damaged key air defense networks, such as S-300 systems, indicating that Iran’s defenses are inadequate against Israeli capabilities. Military analysts suggest that Iran’s attempts to bolster its air defenses are hampered by the vast scale of the country and its limited resources compared to Israel’s advanced military. While Israel can inflict considerable damage on Iran’s nuclear program, it lacks the heavy ordnance needed to effectively target deeply buried facilities.
In retaliation, Iran has struggled to mount a successful counterattack against Israel, despite launching over 300 missiles and drones after losing military officers. Most of these were intercepted. Following Israeli operations that decimated Iranian leadership, Iran fired more than 180 missiles at Israel, achieving minimal impact. Analysts suggest Iran may now attempt to relocate its nuclear assets underground in response to Israel’s air raids.
