Iran doesn't even have the police and ground forces to stop saboteurs. That is not a question of money anymore.

They could've had a large army with ATGMs, MANPADs, FPVs, light transports, wheeled artillery and mountain bunkers for defense and an ideologically motivated military police to weed out traitors and saboteurs. That way, it is guaranteed that whatever heavy assets there are, will actually be used.

This was the case with North Korea, Vietnam, and now Ukraine and Houthis - they're very difficult for enemies to infiltrate due to ideological hardening, so enemies had to slog their way through the ground forces, which have concealment, mobility and heavy short ranged firepower. That makes it very hard to attack them from the air and forces things into a ground war.

For Iran, this did not happen. This was supposed to be the Army + IRGC combo. The army was supposed to have dug in and be resilient to this sort of attack, while the IRGC was supposed to uproot traitors and enforce ideology. Both failed.

The IRGC is the original sin, becoming a parasitic entity on Iran now the ideological zeal has faded.
A State within a State within a State.

The end result is noticeably worse than regular dictatorships elsewhere because we have an unchecked and corrupt IRGC siphoning funds from everywhere else.

Whether Iranian missile attacks were effective or not will be known only after the war is over. Don't forget that Israel is in military censorship mode.
Iran is a foolish country. There’s no need for any media reports to assess the strike effects — any normal person should know that long-range missiles pose little real threat to Israel. If Iran were to load its nuclear material into missiles, *that* would be a genuine threat. Nuclear contamination could destroy Israel.

Iran hass stopped some Mossad drone operations
Man, Iranian traitors are really something else. I've never seen a group of people so motivated to destroy their own country. At this point I think they're paying the Mossad instead of the other way around, "Hey, I'll pay you for the privilege. Take every cent I have, my kidney, and my firstborn."

No wonder Israel deleted the Iranian government.
