Following Isreal’s initiation of air strikes against a wide range of Iranian military, infrastructure and political targets on June 13, Iran launched retaliatory missile strikes later that day.
Israel Defence Forces have continued to receive a range of support from across the Western world. On the other hand, Iran may not be getting that much of support.
The United States has actively employed ground based and maritime air defence systems to attempt to blunt Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel, and having bolstered Israel’s arms inventories for several months, is expected to resupply its forces if necessary.
The United Kingdom deployed fighter aircraft to the Middle East to provide greater protection against Iranian drone strikes, while a number of unconfirmed reports indicate that NATO members including Germany are providing aerial refuelling support to allow Israeli fighter aircraft to reach Iranian targets.
Iran, by contrast, lacks foreign support, with the fall of Syria to Turkish and Israeli backed insurgents in December 2024 having left it isolated in the region, while its primary supplier of ballistic missiles North Korea is not well equipped to make major new equipment deliveries in wartime.

Peace looks very attractive at this and every point. Just a thought.
