BREAKING: Israel has just killed Dr. Marwan Sultan in Gaza. They dropped a bomb on his home, murdering him, his wife, and their children. He wasn’t a combatant. He was a doctor who devoted his life to saving others.
‘Shock and grief’ as senior doctor killed in Israeli airstrike in Gaza
The Iran situation only ended because America got involved. Israel was running out of air defenses and couldn’t establish air superiority over enough of Iran to stop Guerilla style launches despite getting air superiority early on due to their initial surprise opening. Even before we “got involved” with the bombs, most of the missiles that got shot down were shot down by American systems iirc.
If the US ended support, Israel would have no choice but to capitulate and stop being a genocidal apartheid always picking fights in the region, or to activate the Samson option.
Call me pessimistic but I don’t think the “Iran situation” is anywhere close to being over.
I don’t think air superiority was ever in question. If anything Israel might be running low on anti-air defense that currently allows them to strike without receiving any meaningful retribution.
When talking about achieving air superiority it usually refers to being able to provide combined arms air support for ground troops.
Maybe if it happens right now… but with trump in the White House I wouldn’t count on it. I think another three and a half years of support maybe enough to where they could mobilize to a wartime economy and commit it’s population to total war. Israel is currently trying to straddle a somewhat normal economy in the hopes they don’t spook the civilian population into unrest. But who knows how crazy they’re going to get in the next 3 years.
