Iran's supreme leader tacitly acknowledges Tehran hit little in its massive attack on Israel
Iran’s supreme leader has dismissed any discussion of whether Tehran’s unprecedented drone-and-missile attack on Israel hit anything there. It's a tacit acknowledgment that despite launching a massive assault, few projectiles actually made through to their targets. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s comments Sunday before senior military leaders didn’t not touch on the apparent Israeli retaliatory strike Friday on the central city of Isfahan, even though air defenses opened fire and Iran grounded commercial flights across much of the country. Analysts believe both Iran and Israel, regional archrivals locked in a shadow war for years, are trying to dial back tensions following a series of escalatory attacks between them.
