Escalating Israel-Iran Conflict Intensifies Regional Tensions

Israel claims air superiority over Iran, significantly expanding its military strikes against Iranian targets, but experts say deeper strategic success, especially against buried nuclear sites, would require US involvement. While Israel has achieved notable tactical successes and operates with near-total freedom over Iran and Syria, complete destruction of Iran's nuclear capabilities remains challenging without US support, and Iran has responded with missile attacks. The conflict echoes previous Israeli campaigns in Lebanon and highlights Israel's advanced military capabilities, but also underscores the limitations of air power alone in achieving strategic objectives.
