“Iran’s Revolutionary Guard would launch a missile and drone attack on Israel from Syria not some suicide mission with its Air Force”
Iran has been gearing up for a missile/rocket barrage strategy for a long time. The Revolutionary Guards have dedicated missile/rocket forces, that make up a big chunk of their force structure. The airbases are more for brining in the weaponry and personnel, and a place to base some of those assets.
I wonder if our recent cruise missile strikes might have been a test or demonstration that we can penetrate those new Russian air defense systems at will, so that they know not to fire when the attack on Iran comes (or we will have to kill them too). Professional courtesy to our Russian colleagues.
