Iran knows it actions ignited the region - but it still wants to claim to be a victim.
PM at Mount Herzl: "Air force severely harmed Iran's defense capabilities and its ability to produce missiles that would be launched at us."
Israel had an even stronger case than ever that any limited attack would be insufficient to deter the Islamic Republic from a third attack.
Israel’s deterrence has also been reinforced by unprecedented cooperation with the United States, US Central Command, and numerous Arab countries in the region.
Tehran’s response to Israel will be inevitable, Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in a closed session.
Eveleth said the Israeli strikes may have "significantly hampered Iran's ability to mass produce missiles."
The targets struck were sophisticated equipment that Iran could not produce on its own.
