I hope that both countries now are aware of the damage they could cause to each other. Israel can overwhelm Irans air-defense with their stealth bombers. Iran can overwhelm Israels missile defense with barrages of ballistic missiles.
Even before the nuclear escalation level they both can inflict very serious damage to each other and their respective defense systems are not able to prevent attacks, only mitigate some of it.
I am looking forward to the price calculations for this one. For the Iranian missile attack 01. October iirc. the damage was considered to be in the range of $ 50 Mio. With the Iranian missiles supposedly costing around $ 100k each, that would be about $ 20 Mio. For the attack i couldn’t find Israels interceptions costs. For the April attack it was sought to be around $ 550 Mio. So i would expect the October interception to have cost at least similarly. $ 600/20 Mio. is a 30 to 1 ratio.
Sending F-35s long ways is expensive, but with the more precise strikes that could have inflicted substantial damage at key points.
