Israel’s Air Superiority over Iran: What Comes Next? BBC News Interview
TV Interview
Miri discusses Israel's ongoing military operations targeting Iranian nuclear and missile facilities, emphasizing the significance of achieving air superiority over Iran. She critiques Iranian officials for portraying Israel as the aggressor while omitting decades of Iranian support for hostile groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. Miri underlines the persistent threat posed by Iran's vast missile arsenal and explains how Israel’s airstrikes are degrading Iran’s offensive capacity. She acknowledges the heavy toll on civilians across all regions involved. On diplomacy, Miri argues that a diplomatic resolution is always possible but currently impeded by Iran’s rhetoric calling for Israel’s annihilation. She also highlights the global dimension of Iran’s reach—its missiles threaten not just Israel but European capitals as well. Addressing the hypothetical of reduced US support under a Trump administration, Miri affirms that Israel is prepared to sustain its operations independently, using its military advantage while awaiting eventual diplomatic intervention.
