Maybe Iran did less damage than was thought. Or maybe Israel doesn't want to trade strikes with Iran for another month since interceptors are expensive and this way Iran faces the USA in addition.
One thing I haven't hear much of any update on is Bushehr Nuclear Plant. That hasn't been struck yet. According to Putin there are Russian workers still on site.
TLDR:
The collective west is equally divided on Ukraine. It just manifests differently.
Israeli targeting choices still do not indicate practical work toward regime change. The US has so far only struck nuclear and/or military targets. It could change in the coming hours and days, but as of right now there is no practical evidence for a push for regime change, even if the US seems to prepare an alternative government in exile.
That's certainly not the only question. Other questions include how much damage they can do before that point, how well they can produce missiles or source them from foreign partners, what other means of striking Israel Iran may have. This is by no means an exhaustive list of things we don't yet know.
The linked article supports half of the claims in your statement, but is doesn't support the claim that ISIS are supported by Israel. Extraordinary claims require proof, particularly given the inflammatory nature of such a claim. Before posting anything additional in this thread or on this topic and related topics in the forum, proof must be provided that Israel supports ISIS. Failure to provide such proof or refusing to do so will indicate that one is not intending to participate in the forum, but rather to troll the forum and its members.
How much damage:
This assumes Israel's ability to expend interceptors until Iran runs out of missiles. It's not clear that this is the case. I think what you describe is the likeliest eventuality, but not the only possibility, and without access to a lot of insider information from both sides, you can't know for a fact that this will be the outcome.
Israel depletes Iranian missiles by both intercepting missiles and hunting TELs.
These are large and destructive missiles. All it takes is one unfortunate leak hitting a building full of people, and the casualties could double instantly.
Perhaps. Or perhaps the US confirmed an absence of Iranian air defenses. None left there, nothing to SEAD/DEAD. We do have some evidence that Iran evacuated the facility.
We have evidence of a fire at Fordow's air defense site
Almost every building has a bomb shelter protected against ballistic missiles. We also have public shelters. And people who for any reason have no shelter in the vicinity, hide in the central floors of the stairwell. I've never seen a ballistic missile penetrate that far into a building.
Hi to all.
