As Israel maintained official silence on Friday’s reported attack on Iran, its analysts and officials weighed in on whether the scale of the assault was a sign of strength or weakness.
“Iran must understand that when it acts against us, we have the ability to strike at any time, and we can do serious damage,” Eyal Hulata, a former national security adviser, said on Army Radio, shortly after reports emerged that Israel had attacked targets in the Iranian city of Isfahan. “We have a highly capable air force, and the United States is on our side.”
