Israel understood full well that any attempt to focus on the risks of an Iranian nuclear bomb would be ineffectual, so instead, it decided to adopt a different approach that included highlighting the issue of funding the IRGC.

Israel's decision to launch a preemptive military operation because of threats rather than attacks sent a deterrence message to Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hamas and even Hezbollah.

Israel could benefit from a new Iran strategy if a nuclear deal is restored, along the lines of the Reagan Doctrine in the 1980s.

Reports say Syria's air defense systems shot down some of the missiles coming from over the Mediterranean Sea before they hit their targets.
