There were two Iranian barrages overnight comprising a 'mere' 30 missiles
And if you believed this morning’s report in the Wall Street Journal, the timing could hardly be better.
According to the Journal, not only is Israel running low on the defensive Arrow interceptors it uses to protect its citizens against Iran’s ballistic missiles, but there is also concern that Washington is “burning through interceptors as well.”
So, should we be concerned? Here’s a key counterpoint: As the Times of Israel’s military correspondent Mannie Fabian noted in response, “Israel planned its operation in Iran months in advance, and to such extreme detail. You cannot deny that it is going exceptionally well so far. Does anyone really think the IDF didn’t factor in how many missiles Iran has and how many would be fired?”
Israel, meanwhile, is rather satisfied with how the war is progressing—so much so that yesterday, an IDF official said the military believes it will only take a week or two to achieve its goals against Tehran’s nuclear program.
As part of that, the IDF is now targeting centers of power in Iran such as regime-linked universities and centrifuge production sites—what Defense Minister Israel Katz called “a tornado.” Indeed, Katz doubled down on Netanyahu’s message to the Iranian people that now is the time to rise up and overthrow Khamenei’s regime, saying this morning that “symbols of power are being bombed and collapsing—from the broadcasting authority and soon other targets, as masses of residents flee. This is how dictatorships fall.”
Evidently, Israel has no desire to let up the pressure any time soon.
