Eveleth said the Israeli strikes may have “significantly hampered Iran’s ability to mass produce missiles.”

Iran has the Middle East’s largest missile arsenal and supplied missiles to Russia for use against Ukraine, and to Yemen’s Houthi rebels and the Lebanese militia Hezbollah, according to U.S. officials.

    Honestly this might be the least controversial of Israel’s targets. It would be very rare for me to lament the destruction of a weapons production facility, pretty much anywhere.

      Yah this would all look very different if there weren’t 10 apartment blocks and hospitals being taken out for every 1 valid military target

      It’s because they know Iran has the capability to hit back.

      Israel is the playground bully, only picking on countries that can’t fight back, and enabled by parents who think their kid is a perfect angel.
