Israel says it has taken control of Iran's air over Iran by launching direct strikes, a feat Russia failed to achieve in Ukraine

Just 48 hours into the conflict with Iran, Israel achieved air superiority, launching direct strikes on targets in western Iran, including Tehran. This performance contrasted sharply with Russia's failures in Ukraine, where its air force failed to gain control. Israel used F-35 jets and shot down dozens of surface-to-air missiles, demonstrating the importance of air superiority in conflict. Iran, surprised by the attacks, failed to protect its airspace effectively, allowing Israel to conduct its operations successfully.
