Iran: We're ready for Israeli strike against nuclear sites

A security analyst speaking with Iran International today (Sunday) said that Iran has been preparing for an Israeli air strike on Iranian nuclear weapons sites for many years, and would thus not be anywhere near as easy as previous strikes aimed at air defenses and other sites.

"Israel’s past attacks on Iran were exploratory," security analyst Farzin Nadimi told Iran International, adding that “if an assault is launched with the goal of destroying all of Iran’s nuclear facilities, it would require precise planning and consideration of Iran’s defense capabilities—something the Islamic Republic has been preparing for over many years."

He also said that Tehran has built an integrated air defense network under Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, Iran’s central command for air defense, and that since the late 2010s, the Islamic Republic has worked to unify its air defense systems under a project known as the “Great Prophet System,” according to Nadimi.
