Insights from Israel's 12-Day War Against Iran
(Jewish Institute for National Security of America) Gen. Charles Wald et al. - A synchronized opening strike combined fighter jets traveling 1,000 miles and on-the-ground intelligence assets hitting senior military commanders and nuclear scientists all within minutes. Israeli planes flew uncontested over Tehran and then refueled above Syria. Drones loitered for hours, hunting Iranian missile launchers, and eliminated hundreds of them - more than half of Iran's arsenal - in less than two weeks. Israel pulled off an operational masterpiece on June 13-24, 2025, displaying intelligence and military capabilities that exceed those of any other American partner and resetting the Middle East's strategic landscape. Israel advanced not just its own but also American national security. Gen. Charles Wald (ret.) is a former Deputy Commander of U.S. European Command; Vice-Adm.
