"It [Israel] attacked Iranian nuclear and military facilities, and assassinated high-profile security, intelligence and military figures, as well as nuclear scientists.

Tehran, which denies it seeks a nuclear weapon, retaliated with ballistic missile strikes on Israeli towns and cities. At least 439 Iranians were killed and 28 in Israel.

While the assault left Iran undoubtedly damaged, it nonetheless provided lessons about its nuclear and military capabilities, as well as the domestic standing of the Islamic Republic itself."

    Good article but Iran has been seriously weakened by this even if it emerged stronger and more united as a result of the battering it gave to Israel…

    Hopefully it can rush to make a nuclear deterrent to stave off further surprise attacks by Zionist warmongers.
