'Urgent | Heavy bombardment targeting military sites in the city of Isfahan at this moment.'
- Axios says President Trump's National Security Council meeting has begun in the Situation RoomThe idea that Iran's AD could be wiped out while Irans missiles are clearly not is a test of critical thinking. Obviously anything fixed could be taken out in the surprise atrack and SEAD could try to hit active units just like missile launchers, but mobile AD can pop inand out of underground bases the same as missiles.
Its not a symetrical war and Iranisnt fighting symetrically, if Israel is winning they wouldnt be begging US to step in.
Let’s just put it this way:
Whenever we start seeing tankers casually refueling jets over Tehran, then we can safely say that AD has been eliminated.
Until then, it’s a hard no.
Then its a defeat. Sanctions stay, they get a no fly zone, 10 years later they're even poorer and worse with no ability to improve since supply routes are being monitored too, then the ground invasion comes to install the kings or ISIS to keep them down forever while their oil keeps getting siphoned for free. The classical Iraq playbook.
If they grind it out and simply refuse to surrender, the US has to think about its opportunity losses. They might be deterred or do some symbolic strikes only.
They would accept a thousand inspections if they could. But that’s not what the US wants, now, is it?
The US desires the total destruction and capitulation of the current Iranian government, and will stop at nothing to achieve that. Any negotiations will be in bad faith. Any weakness or hesitance will be exploited.
They may as well sign a deal with the devil.
A British (RAF) KC-2 tanker takes off from Cyprus bound for Iraq. It is likely refueling Israeli fighter jets. As is well known, these fighter jets need to refuel at least once before reaching the Iranian border. The F-35, on the other hand, needs to refuel at least twice per sortie.
If two dozen missiles are fired and multiple impacts are made, without a doubt Israeli AD is starting to be exhausted
