Scott Ritter: IRAN HITS HERZLIYA AND TEL AVIV Daylight War Begins!

Israel hit Iran to disrupt U.S. talks; Iran struck back, exposing intel failures.Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:What were the immediate consequences of the Israeli attack on Iran, particularly regarding the negotiations between Iran and the U.S.?How did Iran respond to the surprise attack by Israel?Why was Iran seemingly unprepared for the Israeli strike despite high alert protocols?What role did intelligence services play in the broader context of the Israeli attack on Iran?Considering the ongoing conflict, how might the situation evolve into a war of attrition?Scott Ritter:The Israeli attack was strategically timed to undermine potential agreements between Iran and the U.S., with Trump misleading Iran about the negotiations while collaborating with Israel.Iran responded decisively, launching retaliatory strikes against Israel, proving its resilience despite initial setbacks.Iran believed negotiations were genuine and lowered its guard, allowing Israel to exploit this complacency with a surprise strike.Intelligence collaboration between Israel, the U.S., and possibly other nations played a significant role in planning and executing the attack, including drone operations previously seen in Ukraine.Israel's military capacity is limited in sustaining prolonged campaigns, while Iran has demonstrated endurance, suggesting Israel may weaken over time unless external support escalates.
