Reuven Azhar, Israel's Ambassador to India, recently provided insights into the timing and operational context of Israel's strikes on Iran. According to Azhar, these operations occurred last week, subsequent to the departure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Israel, when an 'operational opportunity' became available. He noted that this timing was underpinned by years of significant investment in bolstering Israel's intelligence and military capabilities. Azhar further explained that the offensive involved considerable bombardment, including 'bunker buster capabilities' which he stated are possessed by the United States. The Ambassador indicated that targets included ballistic missile launchers, production sites, and silos. Additionally, he briefly addressed Israel's approach to managing integrated air defense operations.
