The Israelis just announced this week that their Iron Dome, a short-range missile interceptor,is operational. They’ve had our Patriot PAC-3 and their upgraded Arrow fielded for several years.

Obviously, the Iranians are aware of these systems. But perhaps they are like American Democrats, and refuse to believe they actually work?

Perhaps a stealthy psy-op in the form of a pamphlet drop over Tehran would be helpful. They could just say “Shalom” in Farsi on one side and Hebrew on the other.
