"Why was Israel's strike limited to air defenses and Iranian missile factories? I'll tell you why.
Israel is running low on the Arrow interceptors after 100s of Iranian ballistic missile, and Houthi missile & drone attacks.
It has been a long war Israel's munition supplies are low and need time to be resupplied, this is not a secret. The Arrow is the top tier of Israeli missile defense, it goes after the huge SCUD/ICBM-type missiles Iran possesses.
Israel has never in its history requested US THAAD missile defense to supplement the Israeli arrow system before. On the contrary, Israel has been looking to phase out its limited use of the US Patriot system, since Israel has its own 3 layered missile defense consisting of the Arrow, David's Sling, and Iron Dome all fully deployed now. Such a request to fly dozens of massive US C17 transports and bring the THAAD to Israel means Israel is concerned about its capacity.
By the same token, the USA only has a few THAAD batteries. Rushing one or two of them to Israel (appx 25% of the USA's own stores) would not have happened if capacity issues were not real and urgent on the Israeli side. We are talking about billions of dollars worth of US equipment. It's ok to say this, Israel has fired off a lot of Arrows this past year.
Producing Arrow interceptors which leave the atmosphere is complex, it takes time, Israel is working 24/7 to make more but many many dozens have been fired during the war. Israel does not have a store of 100s and 100s of these missiles it just does not. Even the USA does not have 100s of THAAD interceptors. Each Arrow or THAAD interceptor costs millions of dollars. These are very large multi-stage interceptors.
Israel carried out the proper response & attack
Last night Israel carried out an effective attack under immense pressure from the USA, a groundbreaking attack to destroy Iranian air defenses, and an attack under the constraints of the Biden administration. Oil sites were off limits, nuclear sites were off limits, attacking the Iranian leadership was off limits. Period.
Getting the 100 or so THAAD interceptors was part of the bargain Israel needed to make to ensure its own sensitive sites are properly protected in case of another large Iranian ballistic missile attack.
If Israel went buck wild and ignored the endless limitations of the Biden administration and then Iranian missiles got through in large quantities and destroyed F35s, or hit Israel's own nuclear reactors, or blew up the IDF or Mossad HQ it would be a catastrophic defeat for Israel. No attack or oil site would make up for that.
Israel has been fighting for over a year, in GAZA, Lebanon, Syria, and now Iran, threading a constant needle on what it can do, what it should do, and when. Defying the Biden admin, leaving Israel without proper alliances and potential defenses was not an option."
