Yeah, i agree. Whatever the number it was definitely higher than it should be (or at least what we thought is needed). But there are so many variables I prefer

Yeah, i agree. Whatever the number it was definitely higher than it should be (or at least what we thought is needed). But there are so many variables I prefer to just look at the actual outcome. Some Minor damage to an airfield and one injury. That could be due to an amazing air defense. Or it could be due to Iran broadcasting how, where, and when these attacks would come in back channels. I don’t think we’d ever know the exact reasons because both actors have an incentive not to divulge: Iran to make people think they calibrated this right, Israel to make it look like they have an impressive defense. The only way this gets worse is by Israel escalating (which seems to be the only conclusion everyone agrees with).
