Today, the Axis of Evil received its biggest slap in the face since the spring of '22, when Ukraine pushed the Russians back from Kyiv

331 Iranian air targets were intercepted, including 110 ballistic missiles and 36 cruise missiles. This remarkable feat primarily credits Israeli air defense, supported by American, British (from ships), and Jordanian pilots who engaged drones. This outcome is unequivocally triumphant for Israel and a significant setback for the ayatollahs.

The dollar exchange rate in Iran tripled in one day (obviously, in anticipation of the Israeli-American reaction).

The main question for Ukraine in this context is how this will affect relations between Iran and Moscow. And here the opposite options are possible.

P.S. For those particularly astute: anyone suggesting that Israel should have defended Ukraine instead of itself risks testing my patience with ignorance and immaturity.
