Seems there is a lesson the Dems would learn about their greatest foreign policy coup, a real coup, BTW. But they won't.

[Regnum] More than ten major international airlines experienced disruptions as a result of Iran's attack on Israel. Reuters reported this on April 15.
How terrible!
International airlines faced flight disruptions on Monday after Iranian missile and drone strikes on Israel further reduced capacity for planes flying between Europe and Asia.

It is noted that as a result of the Iranian attack, airlines such as Lufthansa, United Airlines and Air India had to cancel or reschedule flights.

According to the founder of the consulting company OPSGROUP, Mark Zee, the escalation of the Middle East conflict has resulted in the largest disruption of aviation flights since the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001. Due to an Iranian attack on Israeli territory, the aircraft were forced to skirt Iranian airspace a

As Regnum reported, on the night of April 14, Iran carried out a massive attack on Israeli territory using several hundred missiles and drones in response to an Israeli military attack on the consular section of the Iranian embassy in Damascus. The attack by the Iranian army lasted at least five hours. Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi called it the legitimate right of the Iranian side to self-defense.

The Iranian state television channel Press TV reported on April 15 that all hypersonic missiles used in the attack on Israel successfully overcame Israeli air defenses and hit their intended targets. Before this, the TV channel clarified that Iran used at least seven hypersonic missiles during attacks on Israel.

After the Iranian attack, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed concern about the escalation of the situation in the Middle East, calling for restraint on all parties to the conflict. The Foreign Ministry recalled that the Russian side strongly condemned the attack on the Iranian consulate, but this was not done by the UN Security Council due to the position of Western countries.

#4 Iran hasn’t allowed Rafael to do anything anyway, Grom, so destroying a few sites he hasn’t been able to inspect will make no difference,
