In reaching Iran, Israeli aircraft would likely fly over the airspace of several countries situated between Israel and Iran, including Syria and Iraq.Airspace Transit: Israeli aircraft would have to fly through the airspace of countries located between Israel and Iran, with Syria and Iraq being the most probable routes.
Air Superiority: Israel's success in reaching Iran suggests a significant degree of air superiority over the region.
Air Defense Suppression: Israel has conducted strikes aimed at degrading Iranian air defense systems, including S-300 batteries, likely facilitating access to Iranian airspace.
Refueling Missions: The considerable distance between Israel and Iran (around 1,400 miles) necessitates mid-air refueling for long-range operations, which are supported by squadrons like the "Desert Giants".

In another interview with the ARD public broadcaster, Merz advocated violent regime change in Tehran. “It would be good if this regime came to an end,” he said. If the Iranian regime is not prepared to enter into talks,
This regime is very weakened and will probably not return to its former strength, making the future of the country uncertain. We will have to wait and see,” he says.

A team of chemical engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has invented a new process to separate crude oil components, potentially bringing forward a replacement that can cut its harmful carbon pollution by 90%.
The original technique, uses heat to separate crude oil into gasoline, diesel, and heating oil.
Instead of boiling mixtures to purify them, why not separate components based on shape and size?" said Zachary P. Smith, associate professor of chemical engineering at MIT and senior author of the study, per Interesting Engineering.
The team invented a polymer membrane that divides crude oil into its various uses like a sieve.
The new process follows a similar strategy used by the water industry for desalination, which uses reverse osmosis membranes and has been around since the 1970s.

Anderson Cooper has hired a reputed Hollywood “super agent” — a sign that the CNN anchor, said to be pulling down an annual salary of $18 million, may exit the struggling cable network amid looming cost cuts.
Cooper, the 58-year-old son of the late fashion designer and railroad heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, is ditching his longtime agent United Talent Agency in favor of Creative Artists Agency and its top deal broker Bryan Lourd.
News of Cooper’s move was reported on Tuesday morning by the news sites Semafor and Variety. A CNN spokesperson declined to comment. CAA has also declined to comment.

That salary seems too much for anyone's opinion provided during Trump's 4 years and 4 months of his presidency.

President Donald Trump remains – at least publicly – reluctant to plunge the US into another Mideast war and has continued to distance himself from the violence.
One US official told CNN that Trump rejected an Israeli plan to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the US president is himself insisting that, far from entering the conflict, he is determined to broker an end to it.
“Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal, just like I got India and Pakistan to make,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, referring to his intervention last month in a brief confrontation between the two South Asian nuclear neighbors over the disputed territory of Kashmir.
