Senior official to ToI: Iran operation going ‘much better than expected’
Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter
The Israeli-US campaign against Iran is “proceeding much better than expected,” a senior Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
“Nobody could have expected such smooth execution,” says the official. “With such payloads being dropped, and such a complex level of coordination required — no one could have anticipated such success so soon.”
The official stresses that there is still much to be done, “but the achievements are epic.”
