The only way this went off as planned was the Iranian defenses were disabled beforehand. Plain and simple.
Important too to note that Iran basically fights its wars through Hooties, Hamas and Hezbollah. Anyone thinks it is a coincidence that Israel has already largely taken out these groups first? Israel is a bunch of badass warriors.
The Mossad knew exactly who was giving what to where. They knew who was at the top. The warning was when the pagers exploded. If I was head of Iran, I would have ended it right then and there. Make a truce. They didn't. Russia is probably that big bad redneck uncle that is saying "Fugg them dumbices across the river! We'll give you everything you need to do whatever you want. You can trust us!" Then the shit isn't going their way all of a sudden. Expect mass revolts in Iran in the next few days. In a few years after this, we should also have Bagram back in pur control.
