“When plunder becomes a way of life, men create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.” Frederic Bastiat” Recommend Grokipedia/wiki. This is wisdom from 1800’s that we have yet again ignored
Hitting Israel from inside Iran is basically the Olympics of missile warfare. The second Tehran hits “launch,” those missiles aren’t heading straight for Israel. They’re entering the world’s deadliest obstacle course.
First stop: Iraq, where American Patriot batteries are waiting to swat them out of the sky. Anything that survives that gauntlet drifts into Syria and Jordan, and by then the Israeli Air Force is already airborne, tearing across the sky looking to intercept. Jordan joins in too, because nobody wants Iranian missiles flying overhead.
If a missile actually survives that, it gets targeted by American warships in the Mediterranean.
And then, only then, the survivors hit the final boss: Israel’s five-layer missile-defense wall. Arrow, THAAD, Patriots, David’s Sling, Iron Dome. No other country on Earth has anything close.
And yet… a handful of Iranian missiles still punched through and hit Tel Aviv and Haifa.
Which tells you two things:
Iran throws a lot of metal into the sky.
No matter how many layers of defense exist, in modern war, something always leaks through.
