Israel Obtains 'Air Superiority' Over Iran, Despite Iran's 'Missile Barrage' on Israeli Civilians Sunday

Stephen Green-Opinion : Jun 16, 2025  PJ Media

NDTV reported that Khamenei was "evacuated to an underground bunker in northeastern Tehran hours after Israel began its strikes on Friday," where he enjoys relative safety. But Israel can—and should—systematically reduce the energy infrastructure that keeps Khamenei's regime afloat...

Iran's air force wasn't much before Rising Lion. Now it's even less.

Apparently, nowhere in Iran is safe.

The bad news is that the IAF still has only so many pilots, jets, weapons, and sorties it can fly each day. And the mullahs—as we saw during last night's massive missile attacks on Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem—still have a surprise or two hidden up their robes...
