IMO, not because they can't, it's because they are trying to retaliate in a tit-for-tat fashion. So far their response has been much better than last year. Time will tell how this will unfold but something tells me Trump bit off more than he could chew.
Israel has done better this time by diverting the damage incurred onto other middleastern states and saved itself in the process.. as of now.
Apprantly AN/FPS-132 (UEWR) radar, was removed which is the USA's main UHF sensor over Iran. Now just space based sensor which provides less granular long ranged sensor tracks. Super preliminary but Iran's response has been much better. I wonder if they have hit the main AN-TYP 2 sites yet. Anyone with more domain knowledge on this region, which bases are they hitting and do they correlate with most important US sensor nodes in region?
The FPS radar isn't stationed in the bases that have been attacked in the videos so far. It is located next to a small airfield ~50km NW of Doha. Existing footage is from attacks on Al Udeid (Abu Nakhlah) and Doha International Airport, although there are non-visual reports of a radar struck in northern Qatar.
Israeli AD fail
Journalist Afshin Rattansi reported on RT that the Saudi foreign minister announced Saudi Arabia will join the operation against Iran. As of now, I'm not sure if this is true or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is.
I suspected this would happen. Lure Arabs into the war then Israel can sit back and watch both destroy each other. It'd be even worse if US can convince the Arabs to do a ground invasion.
Funny how another similar OSINT channel was exposed as being ran by Indians too a couple months ago

Intel Slava channel on Telegram does not seem like Indian and has pretty good stuff.
it's the hotel that was hit by the drone, it caught fire
more drones are coming and locals are celebrating
Imagine rejoicing your own country being bombed by foreigners. It's actually these Gulf regimes that are despised by their people.
Noting the amount of smoke given off, the 5th Fleet HQ fire looks massive!
