Israel Prepares Plans for Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Facilities After Destroying 90% of Syrian Air Defenses

Israel’s Army Radio reported Thursday that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began preparing plans for Israel to attack Iran’s nuclear sites after destroying nearly 90% of Syria’s air defense capabilities, which had formerly protected Iran.

Army Radio military correspondent Doron Kadosh reported on air that Israel had destroyed 86% of Syria’s surface-to-air missile capability, among 500 other sites that the IDF had targeted since the fall of the Assad regime Sunday.

Kadosh elaborated, in a post on X, that Israel had used 1800 munitions in the attack on Syrian weapons — munitions that had been intended for other purposes, but were switched to the new mission once the fall of the regime began.

He added that the plans for striking the Syrian military had only been drawn up two days before the regime fell, and were only improved at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, just a few hours after Assad had fled the capital, Damascus.

Now, he said, with a “clear axis to Iran,” Israel’s military and intelligence officials were preparing operational plans for an attack on the regime’s nuclear facilities. The decision to launch a strike would be left to elected political leaders. Read the rest at breitbart.com.
