Last night, Israel recorded a great operational success, alongside strategic complexity.
From an operational perspective, everything worked perfectly: Preliminary intelligence by the Military Intelligence Directorate, an effective detection system, and the excellent interception system of Israel’s Air Force.
Strategically, the situation is more complex:
- Israel and the United States failed to deter Iran from attacking.
- Iran managed to harm Israel without obliging the United States to attack in response with Israel’s cooperation.
- Last night, Israel acted for the first time as part of a coalition. This is effective and important, but it limits the freedom of action in response.
- The coalition is the answer to “the day after the war in Gaza” and that’s what we should aim for—a regional group against Iran and the resistance front.
The Israeli response will come on Iranian soil. But for now, we shouldn’t offer any clarity on the issue, but we should let the other side suffer in uncertainty. Time is in our hands. We can plan and act smart—a successful defense allows for this.
