The good news is that the IAF now operates over all of Iran with near-impunity.

That's a "feat Russia couldn't achieve in Ukraine" after three-plus years of fighting, the paper dryly noted.

In the 24 hours or so since, Israel seems to have extended its air superiority over the entire country.

Yesterday, the IAF struck an Iranian airbase at Mashhad, near the border with Turkmenistan in Iran's far northeast. Iran had reportedly moved some of its aged F-4 fighters to Mashhad—which is about as far from Israel as anywhere in Iran—for safety.

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.
