Iran is cooked.
Definitely some serious business going on behind the scenes. Tel Aviv to Tehran is 965 mi. straight line. Add in some of the strikes have been far south and it becomes way more than 1000 miles. They have to be using a bunch of their F-16s and 15s, both of which have about 500 mi range, unless outfitted with extra fuel tanks. Doubtful, we all know what they're hauling and it's not more gas. Israel has 7-KC-130H refuelers, and 7-707 refuelers. None of these are stealth.
What's going on with airspace? Israel to Iran flight path goes straight through Iraq. Iraq has over 30 fighter jets, F-16s and Czech L-159s, plus Pantsir air defense systems. They still won't let you in their country with an Israeli passport stamp. Hard to believe they're letting sorties fly by unimpeded to smash on their big buddy Iran, but that's exactly what's happening. People think Iran has huge sway in Iraq still, but most of that is gone. The mortal enemies are flying by a few times day and night untouched. Just a little rocket retaliation from militia in the desert. People have been waiting years wishing they would bomb Iran and now it's game on.
Everything is happening over Saudi air space. And if some of it is happening with Iraqi Government cooperation or plausible deniability then that will be interesting because they have been cozy with Iran no matter how much money we've thrown at them.
