Rzeczpospolita

Netanjahu nie tylko chce zniszczyć irański program atomowy. Chodzi też o ajatollahów

Irańska obrona przeciwlotnicza okazała się nieskuteczna przez co izraelskie lotnictwo może teraz właściwie bez przeszkód bombardować cele w całym kraju, nie tylko wojskowe, ale i infrastrukturę o znaczeniu strategicznym. Jednocześnie irańskie pociski tylko punktowo są w stanie sforsować Żelazną Kopułę – system obrony przeciwpowietrznej Izraela.
