Episode notes
Israel's Clear War Objectives
- Israel's war goal is to destroy Iran's military nuclear capability and missile infrastructure.
- They do not seek regime change; that decision is for the Iranian people to make.
U.S. Role in Key Strikes
- Israel can conduct most operations without U.S. involvement except for destroying the Fordo uranium enrichment site.
- U.S. involvement is crucial mainly due to their unique strike capabilities like the B-2 and B-52 bombers.
Missile Interception Realities
- Israel's missile defense success is expected at around 80% against Iranian ballistic missiles.
- Intercepting long-range ballistic missiles is much more challenging than short-range ones.
