POLITICO: Iran has obtained advanced air defense systems and laser systems from China!
Iran seeks to disrupt enemy radars, engage in electronic warfare, and surprise Israeli fighter jets in the upcoming war
This was already known, as well as plenty of evidence that many of the drones were launched from within Iran by Israeli agents.
There is a chance that Israel couldn't achieve total air supremacy over the Iranian capitals, and instead relied on PGM's / Stand Off munition to do the bulk of their strikes
This would be consistent with the US approach, having arguably better intelligence and tech at hand (and a weaker enemy) . Relied on expensive JSOWs and Tomahawks to strike Yemeni capitals, fearing SHORAD ambushes.
In Yemen, the environment was still contested; the Americans were unable to effectively suppress the Yemeni IADS network.

Khamenei's predecessor, Khomenei, instigated the 1979 Revolution while living in exile in ... France. Here, in suburban Paris, he was freely and openly preaching and advocating for the revolution.OK I am now convinced that Khamenei is either an Israeli asset or a useful idiot, either explaining why he is still alive. He is hindering Iran's nuclear program. The old man has far outlived his welcome. He needs to go.
