Roaring Lion: IAF’s relentless multi-wave blitz reshapes the Iran front
TL;DR
Israel’s air force is conducting a high-intensity, multi-wave campaign against Iran in Operation Roaring Lion, flying three missions per day with stimulant-assisted endurance and strong American refueling and airpower support. By midweek the IAF had dropped about 5,000 munitions in four days—far faster than in the prior operation—while ground crews, including women, helped minimize turnaround times. The goal is to reduce Iran’s launch capability to manageable levels and to demonstrate unprecedented Israeli-American air collaboration, all while acknowledging Iran’s determination and reserves.
