At dawn on June 16, the Iranian armed forces carried out the 9th round of strikes against Israel, launching another missile attack on several key cities in northern Israel. Its oil facilities, important factories, and key military targets were bombed and severely damaged.
In previous rounds of bombing, the Israeli Ministry of Defense building, the Academy of Sciences, important infrastructure, and the wealthy industrial zones were hit to varying degrees.
After this round of strikes, the always resilient Israel finally couldn't hold on anymore. The Iron Dome defense system failed, allowing Iran's constantly upgrading drones and ballistic missiles to run rampant. Israel is now in a severe survival crisis. Today, Israel has officially appealed to the international community for help and support.
So far, only Britain has responded, promising to provide assistance and support to Israel. Other countries and international organizations have yet to take a stance.
I have repeatedly mentioned in my previous analysis that the conflict between Iran and Israel cannot last long, as Israel cannot afford the consumption.
After all, there is a huge disparity in size between the two countries. Although Israel holds an advantage in science and military technology, its small size and lack of strategic rear area leave it with no room to maneuver. This means that Israel cannot engage in a protracted war of attrition with Iran; it must aim for quick battles and decisive victories.
Iran, on the other hand, has a population of ninety million, nine times that of Israel, and a territory of 1.6 million square kilometers, ten times that of Israel. Such a huge disparity could drag Israel down if prolonged.
Let’s see who laughs last!
