(X) Naftali Hazony - Israel's jets can certainly reach Iran. In July, Israel's jet fighters struck the port of Hodeida, Yemen, 2,000 km. away. Iran is only 1,500 km. away. Yet most of Iran's known ballistic missile sites are under the Elburz and Zagros mountains, where Iran has spent the last 30 years building fortified "missile cities." Many of Iran's sites are over 100 meters underground. The U.S.'s largest bunker buster bomb, the GBU-57, can only penetrate up to 60 meters of mountain. While Israel can try and destroy all of Iran's dozens of "missile cities," its success is uncertain. Iran could likely still retaliate with its vast ballistic missile arsenal. The writer is an Israeli F-16 fighter pilot. 2024-08-13 00:00:00Full Article
