Israel could now stage wide-ranging attacks on Iranian targets, a blunt new reports warns. Writing for Channel 4 News, Professor Paul Rogers argues more attention must be paid to Iran amid risks of yet another war in the region.
Israel has successfully re-armed its air force with long-range F-151 and F-161 strike aircraft, supported by an upgraded fleet of tanker aircraft.
It also has a large fleet of unmanned drones, some of them long-range and able to carry bombs and missiles, and is very likely to be in a position to use facilities in Kurdish Iraq and Azerbaijan, both bordering Iran.
In short, Israel could now stage wide-ranging attacks on Iranian targets.
These are the findings of an Oxford Research Group (ORG) report, Military Action Against Iran: Impact and Effects, that analyses the risks and consequences of an Israeli military attack on Iran’s nuclear and missile programmes.
