    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.
