Bragging Rights for IDF: Expert Praise for Israel's Aggressive Strikes on Iran
Iran's Air Defense System Decried as Ineffective by Military Expert
Military analyst Mikhail Khodarenok showered praise on Israel's bold attacks on Iranian targets, and he's not the only one. A late-night interview with "Gazeta.ru" has the analyst singing high praises of the June 13 Israeli strikes.
Khodarenok views this operation as just the start of a major military showdown, and a very successful one at that. He believes Iran's air defense systems struggled to counter the Israeli assault and protect key strategic targets.
The spotlight, however, falls on IDF intelligence. During the operation, several high-ranking Iranian military officials were eliminated, a fact Khodarenok emphasizes.
Previously, we reported the Israeli Air Force's early-morning offensive against Iran on June 13. Aimed at nuclear infrastructure facilities, the residences of top Iranian military officials, and military bases, the operation stretched over more than a dozen locations within Iran and reportedly resulted in the death of IRGC commander, Hossein Salami, as well as the chief of staff, Mohammad Bagheri, and leading nuclear scientists in Iran.
