For decades, much of the conflict between Iran and Israel has played out indirectly via proxies or through deniable or covert actions.
This month however, things changed dramatically. Following an airstrike in Syria that killed an Iranian General, Iran's Revolutionary Guards launched a large-scale missile and drone attack on Israeli targets.
What followed was a major, multinational air defence operation and, it seems, a potential small scale Israeli response.
In this episode I look at the background to the Iranian strike, the observations we can make about the attack and defensive operations, and what it might mean for the region.
“...and, it seems, a potential small scale Israeli response.”
An article yesterday pointed out that the Israeli missile(s) sent to Iran were not detectable by Iran’s most sophisticated radar system. The Israel’s destroyed it, leaving Iran without any defensive radar systems and susceptible to wholesale destruction. The article speculated that this was a loud message delivered to the IRG.
yup, he goes over that near the end...
