Israel’s attack on Iran continues, with the nation saying it has “achieved aerial superiority over Iran” after it destroyed more than 120 missile launchers overnight.
“Tehran is no longer immune; the capital is exposed to Israeli strikes,” IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowing Israel “will strike every site and every target of the Ayatollah’s regime.”
The development comes days after launching “Operation Rising Lion” to take out Iran’s nuclear program, ballistic missile facilities, and high-ranking military officers and scientists. Israel’s opening salvo was successful in large part because intelligence agents with Mossad, the nation’s top spy agency, were deep within Iran and had smuggled missiles and explosive drones inside the country ahead of Friday’s attack, even setting up a drone base. Once it started, the agents used the weapons to target Iran’s defense and ballistic missile launchers, neutralizing a counter attack.
According to the official, Mossad agents set up a drone base on Iranian soil near Tehran. The drones were activated overnight, striking surface-to-surface missile launchers aimed at Israel.
Israel spent years preparing for the operation against Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, a security official tells The Times of Israel, including building a drone base inside Iran and smuggling precision weapons systems and commandos into the country.
The effort hinged on tight joint planning between the IDF and the Mossad intelligence agency.

In addition, vehicles carrying weapons systems were smuggled into Iran.
These systems took out Iran’s air defenses and gave Israeli planes air supremacy and freedom of action over Iran.
The third covert effort was Mossad commandos deploying precision missiles near anti-aircraft sites in central Iran.
The operations relied on “groundbreaking thinking, bold planning and surgical operation of advanced technologies, special forces and agents operating in the heart of Iran while totally evading the eyes of local intelligence,” says the official. (Times of Israel)
The operation brings up a frightening possibility for Americans to consider, especially after Biden's open door immigration policies.

What are the odds that one of America’s adversaries has done this within our own borders?

China, the leader in drones globally, owns a whole lot of land in strategic locations within our borders.
Over 30,000 military aged Chinese men have crossed our borders and are unaccounted for after their border encounter.
