JP called the conflict in Iran the first integrated operation of the two countries

The US and Israeli strikes on Iran were the first fully integrated military operation between the two countries. The Jerusalem Post (JP), an Israeli newspaper, wrote about this on March 7, citing Dick Newton, former Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff and Director of Staff of the US Air Force.

"We conduct the most complex joint operations and use all areas of military interaction. This synchronization, achieved over the years of joint training, has borne fruit," said Newton.

According to him, the level of synchronization between the two main allies is "monumental." Newton suggested that since the beginning of the conflict, US and Israeli forces have probably destroyed a significant portion of Iran's ballistic missiles, although its arsenal of drones has suffered significantly less.

The Director of Staff of the US Air Force believes that success in modern conflicts is determined not only by air superiority, but also by intelligence work, cyber operations and autonomous systems.

On the same day, the Anadolu agency reported that the US armed Forces had lost military equipment worth almost $2 billion during the operation in Iran. According to estimates, the most costly loss was the American AN/FPS-132 early warning system at the Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar, which costs $1.1 billion.

US President Donald Trump said that a "very strong blow" would be inflicted on Iran. According to the American leader, the United States intends to strike those areas of Iran that have not been attacked before.
