Iran Expected to Attack Israel Despite Severe Damage to Its Air Defense System
(Jerusalem Center for Foreign Affairs) Yoni Ben Menachem - Israel's recent airstrike on Iran has reportedly destroyed all of Iran's strategic air defense capabilities along with its long-range detection radars. However, Iran is determined to respond to the Israeli attack. While Israel has limited Iran's ability to produce new missiles, Iran still has an estimated stockpile of 2,000 to 3,000 long-range ballistic missiles, as well as thousands of drones. The Israeli strike was fully coordinated with the U.S., and the White House expressed satisfaction with the level of cooperation. This coordination ensures the continuation of American military assistance to Israel in light of a potential Iranian attack.
