Mohammed Marandi:
- Iran was on high alert but faces a large, coordinated coalition involving Israel, the U.S., and regional allies using bases in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and Turkey. This made defense extremely challenging.
- Despite losing senior commanders and initial air defense failures, Iran regrouped quickly, launching retaliatory strikes and strengthening its defenses, showing resilience and capability.
- Yes, the same actors planned both attacks. The tactics—such as drone strikes coordinated via social media and cryptocurrency—are nearly identical to those used in Russia.
