Security sources say that Iran tried to damage important strategic facilities in Israel, which gives international legitimacy to damage its nuclear facilities. However, Israel needs to coordinate the targets of the attack with the Americans, who explicitly demand to avoid an all-out regional war
YONI BEN MENACHEM -- Iran no longer hides behind its affiliates and sends them to do the dirty work while keeping its hands clean.
The Iranian leadership made a strategic decision to dip its hands in the waters of war and attack Israel directly, which testifies to Iran's great self-confidence and full faith in its military capabilities vis-a-vis Israel.
This requires Israel to change its strategy. It is very difficult to defeat Iran from such a great geographical distance, but it is certainly possible to inflict painful blows on it and achieve victory over its branches in Lebanon, the Gaza Strip and Judea and Samaria.
