    had been “successfully intercepted.”

    “Iran wasn’t successfully bombed because they had exceptional anti-air defenses” isn’t the refutation you think it is.

      I even highlighted the relevant part about targeting military centers for you.

      If they had targeted schools and hospitals you know we’d be reading about it. We aren’t.

        The part where the Iranian anti-air defense protected is territory.

        If they had targeted schools and hospitals

        But had to turn back in the face of anti-air attack

        you know we’d be reading about it.

        Israelis make a special point to suppress any news of a military embarrassment. So you won’t read how many planes they lost trying to slaughter Iranian civilians.

          Iran would be sharing pictures of Israeli plane wreckage and bombed Iranian hospitals if either existed. They don’t.

              I’m sure Iran can figure out how to share pictures with the world. They have some smart people over there.

                Do you have any specific outlet in mind? Presumably, this would be the service you checked to verify the non-existence of stories I’m supposed to apologize for not reading.
