Simplicius has a good analysis of the Iranian retaliatory strikes on Israeli military bases. It looks like all or most of the Iranian ballistic missiles got through the Iron Dome and US/UK additional defenses, though most cheap drones and cruise missiles got taken out by expensive and limited-supply air defense missiles. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/iran-breaches-anglo-zionist-defenses

Thanks for that link - vey important analysis - the only thing I urged caution on was how S characterized the Biden/US response. WH sources are saying Biden call to BiBi US would NOT militarily support attacks on Iran. Biden himself has pledged US support to the defense of Israel.

But the US has defined "defense" to include just about anything.

Dangerous ground. I think Russia has warned the US, but it is not "official".

Hi Dr John

( My brother John is an MD too!)

Scott Ritter had an excellent video on YouTube with Carl Zha on the subject too.
