Israel took advantage of a window of opportunity - and it was right not to miss it. Iran was vulnerable: its proxies had been degraded (Hezbollah, Hamas, Assad’s regime), and its own air defenses - like the S-300 batteries - had already been taken out in previous Israeli strikes.

Another wave of attacks apparently launched out of Israel. This is going to take days, maybe weeks. Meantime, more details emerging from last night. Israel pre-positioned drones for last night’s attacks, not unlike what we saw recently from Ukraine in Russia. Remarkably similar.

Too many politicians treat the world like a student union. Abstract, simplistic and completely disconnected from reality. The world is not a debating club. It is a dangerous place where power matters, where democracy is fragile and where enemies don’t play by the rules. That’s
