Episode notes
Targets of Israeli Attack on Iran
- Israel's attack focused on Iran's nuclear sites like Natanz and Esfahan, targeting uranium enrichment and weapon fabrication.
- Certain key sites like Fodou are heavily fortified, creating uncertainty about Israel's ability to fully destroy Iran's nuclear program.
Iran’s Vulnerable Air Defenses
- Iranian air defenses are outdated and ineffective against Israeli air strikes.
- Israel uses drone surveillance and agents on the ground to preemptively strike Iranian movements and nuclear sites.

- Iran relies on paramilitary groups regionally, but many have been weakened and can't effectively retaliate against Israel.
