More War: Challenges Ahead for Israel

So far, for Israel, it’s going well: they have destroyed the Republican Guard headquarters and killed its commander, General Salami. In other targeted assassinations, the head of the Iranian army is dead, as are more than ten nuclear scientists, and various other bigshots, including at least one potential successor to Ayatollah Khamenei, who for the moment appears to be alive. It’s the biggest military action on the soil of the Islamic Republic since the Iran/Iraq War forty years ago.
