How Will We Know If We've Succeeded Against Iran?
איך נדע אם הצלחנו?
Summary
As the war against Iran continues in full force, leaders from the US, Israel and Iran have already begun crafting victory narratives. The article questions what should truly count as success for Israel, cautioning against premature declarations like those made after Operation "With a Lion's Roar." It argues that any meaningful benchmark must be measurable: to what extent have Iran's capabilities to harm Israel, its neighbours and its citizens been durably neutralised.
