After days of coordinated strikes, Iran’s skies are no longer protected.
What happens when a country at war loses control of its airspace? The answer is unfolding over Iran right now.
Modern warfare follows a clear sequence. First, neutralize radar and air defense batteries. Blind the enemy. Silence surface-to-air missiles. Cripple command-and-control. Only then does full aerial dominance begin. That is precisely what has taken place over the past several days.
The combined capabilities of the Israeli Air Force and the US Air Force have methodically dismantled Iran’s defensive shield. Without functioning air defenses, Iran’s leadership cannot meaningfully protect military assets, strategic infrastructure, or senior command structures. Every facility, every convoy, every headquarters becomes vulnerable.
