Israel’s successful attack on Iran, which saw the combat range of its U.S.-built F-35 fighter jets stretched well beyond what had been assumed to be its limits, has left the U.S. Air Force stunned and wanting that same long range for itself, the Israeli daily Maariv reported on Monday.

Over 12 days in June, Israel launched more than 1,500 sorties against the Islamic Republic to knock out that country’s nuclear weapon and ballistic missile programs.

Sorties averaged about 1,000 miles (one way) and, at least in one case, stretched to 1,400 miles to bomb an Iranian Air Force aerial refueling tanker at Mashhad Airport.
