The commander of the Israeli Air Force, Major General Omer Tischler, stated that the entire Israeli air force was prepared to carry out a major attack against Iran, but the mission was interrupted at the last minute

According to him, the large-scale operation was fully planned and ready to be executed.

The planes were going to attack hundreds of targets inside Iran.

However, while the pilots were still receiving final instructions, one hour before departure, the attack was canceled due to direct intervention by the President of the United States, Donald Trump.

Even without carrying out this specific mission, Tischler highlighted that, in previous rounds of combat, Israel caused serious and lasting damage to Iran’s strategic structures.

Among the targets hit were the Iranian leadership, defense systems, nuclear components, the economy, the chains of command, technical expertise, and the country’s military industry.

These attacks significantly reduced the Iranian threat, increased the time Iran will need to rebuild, and maintained the possibility of Israel acting again in the future, if necessary.

The commander also said that the Israeli defense sector is closely monitoring international diplomatic negotiations, but that it is still too early to know how these events will affect the security of the region.
