It's difficult; both Israel and the United States air force maintain a distance from Iranian airspace with their manned fixed wings.

They tried to do a decapitation strike that was said to have eliminated most of the IRGC and upper leadership while negotiations where being conducted (almost the same as last time might so add) and conveniently while Iranian president wasn’t in harms way (who I suspect to be a traitor might I add) only for a few days later to show that only a few members have actually died with them being quickly replaced with no decrease in efficiency while they conducted a counterattack. This time has shown Israel and the USA to be even less capable then before when it comes to a decapitation then it was before and the counter attack this time is even more damaging to the point where multiple places in the Middle East are being hit without any air defence being able to impede them and all this from weapons that is bound to be the least destructive in Irans arsenal. Hence why jumping to conclusions so quickly is a stupid thing to do in this case but for some reason for some even here, it’s a regular occurrence

Intercepting and fighting against aircraft is what peer leveled adversaries do. When technologically outmatched, focus on the missile force; it's much easier to launch a missile and hit a ground target than it is to intercept a missile. Assymetric warfare says Iran's best bet is to missile-spam its enemies until they take too much damage to want to keep fighting, which is exactly what it's doing.
I am sure you can say the same to Iraq and Libya.
So ultimately Iran lost some of the top leaders in a show of force while Israel lost none, just some buildings. While the real effect is dubious it seems Israel got more damage done than other way?
Honestly not a bad plan for Iran to mobilize and push into Iraq, Kuwait, and maybe Syria by that point...
It would be hilarious if this ended up with Iran with more territory, ever closer to Israel.
Quite likely, Iranian state TV said he was scheduled to address the nation but that never happened. Regardless, if Iran is smart they would have prepared contingencies for regional IRGC commanders to act autonomously and launch strikes of their own. Killing central figures is good and all but quite frankly Iran is used to losing their top leadership, and they love their martyrs.
That channel is ran by Indians, I dont know why, but it is, they made a couple mistakes of adding the indian flag to random places.
