The Islamic Republic of Iran has fired hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israeli cities today. This comes after Israel finally went on the offensive after sustaining nearly a year of escalatory attacks from Iran's Lebanese terror proxy Hezbollah.
In recent weeks, Hezbollah's missile and drone arsenal has been crippled. Senior Hamas and Hezbollah commanders have been eliminated, including Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Deputy Commander Abbas Nilforoushan, senior Hezbollah member Fuad Shukr, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, and top terrorists in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan forces. Israel's daring and complex operations -- in support of Israeli and U.S. national security -- have provoked threats from Iran's regime to 'exact revenge' through the activation of its web of terror proxies. So, what lies ahead? How long might it realistically take for Israel to neutralize or dismantle the enduring threats Hezbollah and Iran pose to its sovereignty and safety? Will the regime in Iran light a match and reignite its 'ring of fire' in a vengeful attempt to settle the score?
