“The two Iranian officials said the weapon had struck an S-300 antiaircraft system at a military base in the nearby province of Isfahan. The officials’ account is supported by satellite imagery analyzed by The New York Times, which showed damage to the radar of an S-300 system at the Eighth Shekari Air Base in Isfahan.”

“It was unclear what sort of weapon struck the Iranian air defense system. Three Western and two Iranian officials confirmed on Friday that Israel had deployed aerial drones and at least one missile fired from a warplane.”

“Neither the missile nor the aircraft that fired it entered Jordanian airspace, the Western officials said, a gesture meant to keep the kingdom out of the conflict after it helped shoot down Iranian weapons last week.”

    You mean did they disclose the secret route they took that enabled to evade the air defenses ? No idea why they wouldn’t want to tell the enemy that. Maybe they should file flight plans with Iran next time.

      I don’t think it’s a secret that you have to cross Iraq to get to Iran from Israel.

        Yet you are asking. Also no you don’t have to cross Iraq.

        You can fly through turkey or Saudi as well.

          I suppose… if you wanted to take a very indirect route from Israel.
