Geopolitics

Let’s put politics aside and look at this purely from a military point of view. If it’s true that the air defenses around Tehran were taken out and done so quickly that’s a very impressive operation. Iran isn’t a weak country, and its capital is heavily protected, so pulling this off would take serious planning, coordination, and advanced technology.

What’s especially interesting is how Putin might see all this. He’s likely paying close attention.
Keep in mind, the West is still giving Ukraine weapons in limited amounts and not always the most modern ones. But if that changes, and Ukraine starts getting more advanced systems in larger numbers, things could shift very quickly.

And how does Putin really view the chances of a wider military clash with NATO. It would be suicide for him.
