US Admiral Cooper said the operation "only just begun"
Location of damage,
Heron TP (Eitan), armed Israeli drone shot down over Khuzestan (southern border with Iraq). Subsystems seem intact.
Apparently, CENTCOM commander lied about targetting Iran's drone carrier,
Map of radars hit. Additional hangars destroyed today. Full description in link.
Eliminating the northern array of the FPS-132 is also good news for Russia and China.

No worries, just a $1 billion radar installation… I am sure repairs will be easy!
If it is true that they even fired at something 650km away not to mention hitting it then I'm again amazed. Someone mentioned to me Iran does have recon satellites, however the space assets they have is no where near enough to achieve real time monitoring and tracking in the region.
Not going to comment on the strike, but I think it's a given at this point that Iran is receiving very good and up to date intel from some powerful countries with a lot of beef with the US.
I think one thing to consider is Iran must have a way to perform damage assessment to determine if a target need to be hit again, and considering AN/FPS-132 complex is in the middle of the desert within a fortified facility, they're either have HUMINT getting pretty close (relatively), or they're receiving immediate satellite intel from third party. It's also worth considering Iran is supposedly under distributed command, so how up to date targeting and damage assessment data are being disseminated is an interesting question, both for this strike and for strike on hotels housing US personnel.
It's the Russians, always the damned Russians
This is unironically big if true. People were doubting if Iran can close 30km of waterway. If instead they prove they can reach out and hit a pair of ships 650km out that's a game changer. So far signs are pointing to a lot of validty to the claim. If either of those ships are sunk it's a sinking of Moskva level event.
